from recipients. Typically, the messages
appear to come from well-known and
trustworthy Web sites.

Phishing emails often include generic greetings, such as “Hello …….
Customer” rather than using the recipient's actual name
Web sites that are frequently spoofed by phishers include PayPal,
eBay, MSN, Yahoo, BestBuy and America Online.
Misspelled URLs or the use of subdomains are the commonly tricks
used by phishers like http://www.maybank.home.com/.
One method of spoofing links used web addresses containing the
@ symbol, which are used to include a user name and password in
a Web URL eg. http://www.hotmail.com@members.com.
In another method attacker uses a bank or other services website
scripts on the victim.

phishing

such as www.PayPal.com)
Never send sensitive account information by email
(Account numbers, SSN, Passwords)
Never give any password out to anyone
Verify any person who contact you (phone or email)
Types of Phishing

phishing, Whaling, CEO fraud, Smishing, Vishing etc.

12. Software
Piracy
Software piracy is a term used to describe the act of
illegally using, copying, or distributing software without
ownership or legal rights. The unauthorized copying
may be done for personal use. Software piracy does not
need a hacker or a skilled coder. Any normal person
with a computer can become a software pirate if they
don’t know about the software laws.
The majority of software today is purchased as an onsite
license, meaning that only one computer may have that
software installed on it at one time. Copying that
software to multiple computers or sharing it our friends
without multiple licenses is considered as software
piracy, which is illegal. It is the illegal use of copying,
distribution or use of software.

13. End–User License Agreement
(EULA)
The End User License Agreement is a license used for most software.
It is a contract between the manufacturer or the author and the end
user. This agreement defines rules for software use and every
agreement is same. One common rule in most EULAs prohibit users
from sharing the software with others. Typically, the license states that
you can install the original copy of software you bought on one
computer that you can make a backup copy in case the original is lost.

14. Types of Software Piracy
Soft Lifting
Soft lifting is when someone purchases one
version of the software and download it
onto multiple computers, even though the
software states it should only be
downloaded once. This often occurs in
business or school environments and is
usually done to save money.

15. Client Server Overuse
Client server over use is when too many people on a network use one main copy
of the program at the same time. This often happens when businesses are in a
local area network and download the software for all employees to use.
Hard Disk Loading
Hard disk loading is a type of commercial software piracy in which someone buys
legal version of the software and then reproduces copies or installs it onto
computer hard disks. The person then sells the product.

16. Counterfeiting
Counterfeiting occurs when software programs are
illegally duplicated and sold with the appearance
of authenticity. Counterfeit software is usually sold
at a discounted price in comparison to the
legitimate software.

17. Online Piracy
Online piracy is when illegal software is sold, shared or acquired by
means of the internet. This is usually done through a peer-to-peer
file sharing system, which is usually found in the online auction sites
and blogs.

18. The Dangers
of Software
Piracy

fail.
No warranty and the software can’t be updated.
Increase risk of infecting your PC with malware, viruses
or adware.

19. How to Prevent Piracy?
