Two free Airlines Tickets? Be aware!!!!

If some one is being given something for free, anyone will want air tickets to any destination in the United States?
Yes!!
This is the way they do it in a specific unauthentic way.

The messages spreading across Facebook is like  "Southwest Airlines is offering free tickets in a marketing promotion."

Sounds good ??? doesn't it? So can you imagine? what happens if you click on the link?

The webpage you are redirected, tells you that to be eligible, you have to share the link with your Facebook friends, adding the words

"Southwest is the best Airline"

as a comment.

In an online investigation the investigators used an research account on FB and shared the link without the comment as described above

Hmm.....so what happens now?
Seems like it doesn't make any difference even if we break the rules?
Doesn't it was easy?
Well hats off to the investigators!!

Be aware be alert is the only key if you want to keep yourself out of it.

Facebook to start charging? It's all fake!!!!

So what if Facebook start charging to end user just for their new profile look and user interface improved?

No, I don't think so.

Its just like a scam spreading which usually happens on social networking sites.

It's poppycock for sure. One should ask ourselves why did Facebook need to charge its users for using their service? Well the if you think logically the answer is no as they are already earning by their advertisers a lot.

See FaceBook's login page carefully it is clearly written that FB is free and it always will be.

It is really not the first time that Facebook users are been updated with these status updates and private messages. Eg, earlier this season, Things were spreaded stating because the social network had bottleneck as the site was considering deleting inactive accounts. Again, totally Faltu.

Is windows 8 is safe ?

Microsoft a giant is supposed to design a new user interface for so called Windows 8.

Well I am not fro Microsoft neither I am aware about they Build versions.

In terms of a developers perspective what you consider is the productivity and not the GUI.

There is no use of developing GUI just like Vista did and failed massively. Vista failed because it was lacking in terms of its light weightless.

The interface of win 8 as shown by official looks like an video game GUI.

Metro is the thing which is actually introduced with win 8. Well in simple language you will interacting with the full screen interface.

So one will not be able to see scroll bars like expandable view. Well that sounds cool but is it really?

Everyone has to be aware this should not lead to a  new shareware/fake anti-virus attacks.
What the hacked do is they will force you to download a software forcibly. well they can do it by floating a pop-up window indicating "Detected Threats on your computer"
Now it will ask you to remove them. But when you click on remove button it will redirect you to a website where you can download the software for free. Its their trick. And you can't close theeir alert window once it appears. You need to kill the process which is actually initializing it from abase process.

But, with Windows 8, these browser-based fake warnings will be shown full-screen, without the visible signs that you're in a browser.

So it seems like it will be easy for psychos to get engaged in these activities easily as OS itself supports full screen.

Facebook scares users with account protection status warning

Last few weeks many of my friends on Facebook page mailed me that their account protection was "very low". I was bit surprised when I saw A screen shot of it.

Your account protection status: Very low
Increase protection

With a scareware which I call fake antivirus prompts you to increase protection of your account which is not compromised even. There must be something which lets you do it. And the red hackers must be planning out to do something when you do it. The question is how?

Now its a human tendency, when you see the warning you get upset and worry about the security of personal data on web. Now most people who are aware how to change the security will definitely try to take some actions.

Those action include changing the facebook password, Increasing security by not allowing any IP address log in without registering, then applying for a phone number sms updates which will help you to know If you are login with the Facebook account and so on.

I was so curious to get this thing straight. Why FB will feel that my account security is not up-to the mark?Well you also might have the same question in your mind. Let me take you into deep.

If you do click on the link, the first thing you are asked to do is enter an additional email address. So if you forget your password they will do the needful with this address.Also they will update your every login details to your mail described.They could then use this, for instance, to communicate with you with this mail address.

Its quick right, Isn't it? Well I personally prefer you before doing anything like updating your numbers and email addresses to think of it for a second.

Think before adding your personal information over internet such as Address, Phone Number, Identity number etc.
It makes difficult for any body if your accounts are compromised simultaneously. So I will prefer you to use different passwords for your Facebook accounts and for your personal mail accounts.
This may help you to get through some of the phishing attacks.


Cheers!!!

"birthday shirt" targeting Facebook users Be aware

Psychological ill people are back in action this year and now they want to hit the Facebook's users.

There is a separate web page made by some community.

The page indicates that as there is Facebook's 7th anniversary, Facebook decided to give away some T-shirts which will be tagged "Facebook" on it. Well there are some unaware users who are scammmmed. 

The said group was mass sharing the status a link which is redirected to new page which is owned by them only. There they ask permission to allow access your profile's basic information.

The parties behind the scam would then ask for a “secret" Facebook email address to verify the prospective victim is a legitimate Facebook user. They say they will upload photoes, videos,  status updates from them to users profile. This I call a kinky stuff. And when you allow them by providing your secrete FB email address by which you can directly post anything on your wall.

This was detected as fraudulent  as you are redirected to page other than Facebook.com and was not sub domain of FB like Facebook.com/something.

You will know if you are scammed if some third party posts status updates on your behalf which includes some advertisements of third parties.

Cure that will help you if you get to know that you are scammed:

1. refresh your email status addresses from privacy option.

2. Never ever share it again to any third party. 

Things are more simpler actually. I mean why facebook will request you to verify status update email address which is itself provided by them ?

Be alert think logically if you are asked something to be verified.

Also don't forget to check the address in the address bar of browser if it is genuine. You can do it by checking manually if its a page hosted by the site such as:

www.facebok.com/verify is not the same as www.facebook.com/verify.

Hope your Facebook accounts are in sound conditions.

Market back to Linux

In these recent days I've never seen any of my friends buying desktop.

Their first choice is notebook.

Giants such as HP,DELL, ACER are having official tie ups with Microsoft.

The agreement says consumer or end user needs to buy notebooks with pre-reloaded Windows operating systems.

Well if you do so your notebooks price increases automatically by some reasonable amount.

This has created small vendors to have their own notebooks which are not bundled with any of the OS but has free DOS.

There you go BINGO!!!!

If you have DOS, then what more you can get free is Linux Operating system.

what they do is they wrap cloud OS such as Jolly Cloud in their notebook. As it doesn't need a licence but just a registration which any one can easily do.

In country like people always look for more in less amount of money i.e. they need value for money.

Soon these giants realized this and now they also decided to give options to the ed users for Jolly Cloud.

It sounds interesting, Isn't it? Yes it is indeed!!

SO get ready to use Linux again!!!!!

Windows 7 Themes

Well these days there is a craze of windows 7. Still its off the market but people are searching applying themes on Win XP to let it look win 7.That's pretty interesting. This was an observation made by an online survey that Vista was not that popular as windows 7 will be. The number of hits for win 7 themes seems to be increasing day by day.Developer are also making money out of it.Its a maze how the so called Vista failed in terms of memory usage. It was not enough well adapted for those computer who doesn't have memory more than 2 GB. If you have it then your are through.But if you font then it will definitely create many problems such as long waiting for a single operation to complete and so on.
To make it look like Vista or Windows 7 people use themes on their Windows XP which is the most popular and light weight OS available in the market. People use it for its ease an simplicity.A good performance is a plus for those who do complicated operation using systems.

I hope windows 7 will not compromise with the performance issues in the upcoming Beta trial version .
