Symantec Report On Rogue Security SoftwareSymantec
The Symantec Report on Rogue Security Software is an in-depth analysis of rogue security software programs. In total, Symantec has detected more than 250 distinct rogue security software programs. During the period of this report, from July 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009, Symantec received reports of 43 million rogue security software installation attempts from those 250 distinct samples. The continued prevalence of these programs emphasizes the ongoing threat they pose to potential victims despite efforts to shut them down and raise public awareness.
This document discusses predictions for cybersecurity threats in 2011 from M86 Security Labs. It predicts that (1) malware will increasingly use stolen digital certificates to bypass protections, (2) mobile malware targeting smartphones and tablets will rise as these devices grow in popularity, and (3) spam campaigns will more closely mimic messages from legitimate websites to appear more authentic and trick users.
1. Laptops, smartphones, and social media have created new security risks for enterprises by blurring the lines between personal and corporate devices and enabling more remote access points.
2. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter have become major targets for cybercriminals due to the large number of users and prevalence of user-generated content, allowing automated social engineering at scale.
3. Barracuda's threat intelligence research crawls the web and social media to analyze malware, compromised search results, and suspicious Twitter accounts in order to identify emerging threats and build reputation systems and signatures to protect enterprises.
Cyber-Stalking Threat to People or Bane to Technologyijtsrd
A day without the use of technology in our lives seems like an impossible mission. We have become entirely dependent on it in divergent ways. Technology has helped us in creating great ideas that we can communicate with people present anywhere on this earth. Apart from the fact that technology has made our lives easy, it also bought in a lot of difficulties. With the massive advancement of technology along with the evolution of time, the crime rate of cyber offences keeps increasing every day. One such cyber assault that requires immediate attention is cyber stalking. Cyber stalking involves continuous or persistent following of a person through electronic media with or without the persons consent. Cyber stalking, unlike the offline stalking, is severe as the identity of the perpetrator is unknown and geographical proximity is no barrier. The severity of cyber talking has increased in the recent times as the current generation is found all the time surfing on their phones or laptops and being busy with social networking media like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and many more. The reason why one may become a cyber-stalker can be because of revenge, obsession, sadism, denial, insult and many more. The post effects of cyber stalking to a victim can be psychologically overwhelming that there are cases where the victims have committed suicide being incapable of coping with the psychological and emotional stress. Cyber stalking can be used to blackmail victims as well. It can also include morphing of the victims image with nude pictures and posting it on public and social websites thus destroying the reputation and dignity of the victim. One of the highly disadvantageous facts in cyber offences is that once such obscene picture of the victim is posted, the post gets shared to more and more people. Therefore even if the perpetrator is found and the origin where the obscene pictures were posted is deleted, it is difficult to find all places where the post has been shared. Thus its high time that more emphasis is laid on introducing effective and efficient laws in field of newly formed cyber offences such as cyber stalking. H. M.

Social media and security essentials.pptxPink Elephant
Social media use has grown tremendously, with over 500 million Facebook users and 105 million Twitter users. However, this growth has also increased security risks. Research from Websense found a 111% increase in malicious websites from 2009 to 2010, with nearly 80% of compromised legitimate sites. Additionally, 40% of Facebook status updates contain links, with 10% of those links being spam or malicious. The Cisco annual security report also warns that social media is blurring network security boundaries and that criminals are effectively using social networks to scam users.
Cyberbullying involves using technology like cell phones, email, and social media to harass or threaten someone. It can occur anonymously between any ages and across long distances. Some reasons it happens include anonymity online and lack of face-to-face confrontation. Effects on victims can include withdrawal, anxiety, low self-esteem, and emotional or physical harm. Consequences of cyberbullying depend on local laws but may include prison time or fines. Prevention starts with not forwarding threats, blocking bullies, telling trusted adults, and educating friends.

In addition, the report highlights that advanced targeted attacks are spreading to organizations of all sizes and variety of personnel, data breaches are increasing, and that attackers are focusing on mobile threats.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 18 revealed a 42 percent surge during 2012 in targeted attacks compared to the prior year. Designed to steal intellectual property, these targeted cyberespionage attacks are increasingly hitting the manufacturing sector as well as small businesses, which are the target of 31 percent of these attacks. Small businesses are attractive targets themselves and a way in to ultimately reach larger companies via “watering hole” techniques. In addition, consumers remain vulnerable to ransomware and mobile threats, particularly on the Android platform.
Cyberbullying involves using electronic communication, such as messages, apps or social media, to bully or intimidate others. It can include sending harmful, embarrassing or private content about someone. Common causes of cyberbullying include lack of parental supervision, drug and alcohol abuse, and family conflicts. The effects of cyberbullying on victims can be negative and include depression, low self-esteem, poor academic performance, and in some cases, suicide. Therefore, cyberbullying should be stopped to improve society and prevent associated problems.

Protecting Organizations from Phishing Scams, RSA Webinar on Sep 2010Jason Hong
A webinar I gave in September 2010 about protecting organizations from phishing scams. This talk is based on our research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Cybercrime involves using computers or the internet to commit traditional crimes like theft. There are many types of cybercrimes, including hacking into systems, denial of service attacks, using internet chat rooms for illegal purposes, credit card fraud, phishing for personal details, software piracy, distributing pornography, and spreading viruses. Criminals enjoy the anonymity and media attention from cybercrimes. Some common precautions include regularly updating antivirus software, using strong and unique passwords, backing up files, avoiding suspicious attachments, and logging out of computers when unattended.
Cyber bullying involves using technology like the internet, cell phones or other devices to send hurtful or embarrassing messages or images to others. It can take the form of direct attacks or using proxies. Notable examples include harassment of Megan Meier that contributed to her suicide. While anonymity online enables cyber bullying, everyone must work together to address the problem by spotting it, helping victims, and instituting policies. Cyber bullying is strongly associated with suicidal thoughts in teens and needs to be taken seriously.
1. The document discusses issues around detecting spam and identifying fake profiles on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Sina Weibo.
2. It notes that 20-40% of profiles on social networks could be fake, and identifies challenges in differentiating fake from legitimate profiles due to limited publicly available user data and varying privacy policies across networks.
3. The paper aims to identify approaches for detecting fake profiles using only the minimal publicly available data on each network, and to evaluate their accuracy compared to existing methods using more extensive data.

Sophos Security Threat Report Jan 2010 Wpnadelamm2
The document summarizes security threats in 2010, focusing on social networking, data loss, encryption, and malware trends. Social networks like Facebook became major targets for hackers due to the large amount of personal data shared publicly. Malware like Koobface spread rapidly across social networks, stealing login credentials. Significant data breaches occurred at government agencies, banks, and corporations, compromising millions of customer records and highlighting the risks of unencrypted data loss. New operating systems and devices emerged but also faced security issues as old hacking techniques persisted.

Common hacking techniques seen on social media include phishing scams and Trojan viruses distributed through malicious applications or links. While social media offers opportunities for connection, users must be aware of security risks from downloading untrusted applications and sharing private information online.
Social networking sites have become major targets for cybercrime due to the large amounts of personal user information they collect. Criminals are able to use details from profiles to craft convincing phishing emails and social engineer victims. While anonymity online enables some criminal behavior, removing anonymity also poses risks to privacy and freedom of expression. As more data is aggregated about individuals, it will become easier over time to identify users and develop detailed profiles about their lives, habits, and relationships, even if they try to remain anonymous. This aggregated data could then potentially be used for surveillance and other strategic purposes beyond just marketing. Strong privacy laws and regulations are needed to curb these emerging threats to privacy.
The document discusses various topics related to computer-mediated communication and online dating, including common online dating scams, the effectiveness of online dating algorithms, and privacy and security risks of sharing personal information online. It warns that sharing too much information can expose users to identity theft and that many online dating sites have not proven their matching systems lead to long-term relationships.
Cyber crime is a growing problem as more activities move online. There are many types of cyber crimes, including hacking, identity theft, and cyberbullying. Cyber criminals operate in organized networks similar to businesses, with different roles like leaders, engineers, and money mules. They are motivated by profit and use various technical methods and resources to attack networks and systems. Governments struggle to combat cyber crime due to its global and anonymous nature online.
The Social Media Bait - Fraud & CybercrimeParag Deodhar
Social media sites are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals for fraud and cybercrime. The document discusses how spam, application vulnerabilities, and malware are used to infiltrate social networking sites. Specific vulnerabilities to watch out for on social media include phishing and application flaws that can lead to information loss. User education, policies, and enforcement are needed to address these risks.
Cyber bullying on social networking sitesGerard1990
The document is a presentation on cyber-bullying on social networking sites. It defines cyber-bullying as online harassment and discusses how victims can be psychologically affected. Statistics on social networking usage are provided and two case studies of victims who tragically committed suicide after enduring cyber-bullying are examined. The presentation concludes by recommending enforcement of anti-bullying policies, education, and notifying authorities if one's safety is at risk in order to address the serious issue of cyber-bullying.
Increasing Vulnerability of the user Data at Cyberspaceijtsrd
Cyber Stalking is a burgeoning concept where a person is vigiled by another using electronic media without consent. Using the pragmatic stealthiness of networking tactics, a stalker intrudes into the privacy of the victim causing him harm either coming in physical contact or by inflicting mental agony my the means of misusing the information collected online via stalking. The stalker may demand for money in exchange of sparing his her dignity or put across unreasonable demands such as to have intimate relationship with him. It can be noticed very often that a victim is left with no option other than to cater to the unreasonable demands. Such attacks have to be handled through either efficient enforcement agencies with adequate technical backing or through extremely stringent laws which would create fear in the minds of the offenders. Unfortunately the India is still in the phase of growth in the terms of its technical advancement which makes it pracitcally impossible to bring the offender before the Court of Justice. This research article deals with the concept of cyber stalking in detail. It also explains about the self regulatory user guidelines and the legal structure required to secure user data from illegal intrusions and embezzlements.

Social media privacy threats that you need to keep an eye on in 2021Impulse Digital
Social media users' interests about information protection have seen a sharp ascent throughout the most recent couple of years. Cybercriminals have developed the ability to deceive social based media users into sharing touchy individual data and information.
This document discusses the growing issue of cybercrime in Bangladesh, particularly among youth. As internet and technology usage increases, so do various forms of cybercrime like hacking, phishing, cyberbullying, and the spreading of misinformation. Many youth are victimized on social media and fall prey to financial crimes. While laws and enforcement agencies have been established to address cybercrime, challenges remain like a lack of skills and resources within law enforcement. The document calls for greater public awareness, strengthened laws and policies, and international cooperation to curb cybercrime and protect Bangladesh's digital progress and national security.

Ali, S., Islam, N., Rauf, A., Din, I. U., Guizani, M., & Rodriguez, J. P. (2018). Privacy and Security Issues in Online Social Networks
Social media are networks used for communication between data owners and viewers in virtual communities. The world has hence become a small global village; as a result, accordingly, information is shared seamlessly regardless of the geographical distance between people. There are, therefore, numerous social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, just to name a few, and with the help of the internet, people can link and communicate in real-time. When connecting with people from mobile devices, there is data that could be retrieved, indicating the location information and metadata embedded in the machines. Malicious users can hence retrieve this information and leverage it against other users.
The author makes it clear that with the new technology, presently, there is a lot more information available with the growth of online virtual communication platforms. Virtual networking platforms have changed the way people interact. People are always on their mobile devices browsing through social media sites, which is progressively attracting hackers and other cybercriminals. Due to this high usage, there are serious data security and privacy threats are facing social media users. The author is affirmative that the majority of the users are always sharing a lot of their personal information online, putting them at significant risks of the numerous methods of attacks.
This article is rather informative as the author is rather vocal about the reasons why people are continually being targeted by cybercriminals and made victims of attacks. It, therefore, clear on specific policies and strategies which one may implement to prevent them from falling victim to cyberattacks. One should refrain from sharing too much information on social networks, using real names when creating online profiles, and accepting friend requests from suspiciously looking accounts. Social network users must be keen and take the time to read the privacy statement before agreeing to the network's terms and conditions when creating reports.
Sarikakis, K., & Winter, L. (2017). Social Media Users’ Legal Consciousness About Privacy. Social Media + Society
Social network sites are on the upward trajectory, and they are still continuously growing with every mobile user in the world having been connected to an average of more that one social network. Social networks are mainly common among young adults aged between 18 years and 29 years. Users are becoming more comfortable sharing most of their personal details, which significantly challenges the social norm of privacy. The social model has hence become somewhat obsolete. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which is a non-profit or.
Social media sites are increasingly being used to commit cyber crimes. 79% of social media users have been victims of cyber crimes according to a survey. Criminals use social media to commit crimes both online and in the real world by gathering private information publicly shared on profiles. Common cyber crimes on social media include scams, robbery, identity theft, defamation, harassment, and cyberbullying. Users need to be aware of how to protect their privacy and information when using social media.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
