15. Phishing

17. Don’t click it!
• Users will see nothing more than a blank page
reading, “PLEASE WAIT. Loading…”
• The Blackhole exploit pack works silently in
the background, attempting to take advantage
of vulnerabilities within Java, Adobe PDF, Flash
and other software to plant malware on the
target machine.

18. Don’t be fast on the trigger!
• Hover over the links to see where they
ACTUALLY lead to…
• Don’t click them
• Reverse the direction:
– YOU check with THEM using your login

19. Uncle Marvin
• Fast on the “forward” button
• Never reads it
• Never investigates the claims
• Address book is a mile long!

20. ON JANUARY 1, 2013, THE US GOVERNMENT WILL BE REQUIRING EVERYONE TO
HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR SS CHECKS.
WONDER WHY?
Subject: HR 4646
Watch for this AFTER the November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE.
A 1% tax on all bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for.
Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Security
or a pension fund and have it direct deposit??
Well guess what ... It looks as if the present administration wants to
tax it 1% !!! This bill was put forth by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA). YES, that is
1% tax on all bank transactions - HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time
money goes out.
Ask your congressperson to vote NO. FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
