However, the&lt;br /&gt;  technology does present security risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is voice over internet protocol (VoIP)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Voice over internet protocol (VoIP), also known as IP telephony, allows you&lt;br /&gt;  to use your internet connection to make telephone calls. Instead of relying&lt;br /&gt;  on an analog line like traditional telephones, VoIP uses digital technology&lt;br /&gt;  and requires a high-speed broadband connection such as DSL or cable. There&lt;br /&gt;  are  a  variety  of providers who offer VoIP, and they offer different&lt;br /&gt;  services. The most common application of VoIP for personal or home use is&lt;br /&gt;  internet-based phone services that rely on a telephone switch. With this&lt;br /&gt;  application, you will still have a phone number, will still dial phone&lt;br /&gt;  numbers, and will usually have an adapter that allows you to use a regular&lt;br /&gt;  telephone. The person you are calling will not likely notice a difference&lt;br /&gt;  from a traditional phone call. Some service providers also offer the ability&lt;br /&gt;  to  use  your  VoIP  adapter  any place you have a high-speed internet&lt;br /&gt;  connection, allowing you to take it with you when you travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the security implications of VoIP?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Because VoIP relies on your internet connection, it may be vulnerable to&lt;br /&gt;  many of the same problems that face your computer and even some that are&lt;br /&gt;  specific to VoIP technology. Attackers may be able to perform activities&lt;br /&gt;  such as intercepting your communications, eavesdropping, taking control of&lt;br /&gt;  your phone, making fraudulent calls from your account, conducting effective&lt;br /&gt;  phishing attacks by manipulating your caller ID, and causing your service to&lt;br /&gt;  crash  (see  Avoiding  Social  Engineering  and  Phishing  Attacks and&lt;br /&gt;  Understanding Denial-of-Service Attacks for more information). Activities&lt;br /&gt;  that consume a large amount of network resources, like large file downloads,&lt;br /&gt;  online gaming, and streaming multimedia, may affect your VoIP service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  There  are  also inherent problems to routing your telephone over your&lt;br /&gt;  broadband connection. Unlike traditional telephone lines, which operate&lt;br /&gt;  despite  an  electrical  outage,  if  you lose power, your VoIP may be&lt;br /&gt;  unavailable.   VoIP   services   may   also   introduce  problems  for&lt;br /&gt;  location-dependent  systems such as home security systems or emergency&lt;br /&gt;  numbers such as 911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you protect yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Keep  software up to date - If the vendor releases updates for the&lt;br /&gt;      software  operating your device, install them as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;      Installing them will prevent attackers from being able to take advantage&lt;br /&gt;      of known problems or vulnerabilities (see Understanding Patches for more&lt;br /&gt;      information).&lt;br /&gt;    * Use and maintain anti-virus software - Anti-virus software recognizes&lt;br /&gt;      and  protects  your  computer against most known viruses. However,&lt;br /&gt;      attackers are continually writing new viruses, so it is important to&lt;br /&gt;      keep your anti-virus software current (see Understanding Anti-Virus&lt;br /&gt;      Software for more information).&lt;br /&gt;    * Take advantage of security options - Some service providers may offer&lt;br /&gt;      encryption as one of their services. If you are concerned about privacy&lt;br /&gt;      and confidentiality, you may want to consider this and other available&lt;br /&gt;      options.&lt;br /&gt;    * Install or enable a firewall - Firewalls may be able to prevent some&lt;br /&gt;      types of infection by blocking malicious traffic before it can enter&lt;br /&gt;      your computer (see Understanding Firewalls for more information). Some&lt;br /&gt;      operating systems actually include a firewall, but you need to make sure&lt;br /&gt;      it is enabled.&lt;br /&gt;    * Evaluate your security settings - Both your computer and your VoIP&lt;br /&gt;      equipment/software offer a variety of features that you can tailor to&lt;br /&gt;      meet your needs and requirements. However, enabling certain features may&lt;br /&gt;      leave you more vulnerable to being attacked, so disable any unnecessary&lt;br /&gt;      features. Examine your settings, particularly the security settings, and&lt;br /&gt;      select options that meet your needs without putting you at increased&lt;br /&gt;      risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Understanding Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) PDF&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Author: Mindi McDowell&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Produced 2005 by US-CERT, a government organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Note: This tip was previously published and is being&lt;br /&gt;    re-distributed to increase awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Terms of use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/legal.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This document can also be found at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST05-018.html</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/feeds/1719665777328500808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11245056&amp;postID=1719665777328500808' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/1719665777328500808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/1719665777328500808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/2010/12/understanding-voice-over-internet.html' title='Understanding Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)'/><author><name>Kelli Staley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpxnyhHQIRI/SyLj4Il4dHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KML4elnxhZg/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11245056.post-6889084933021731268</id><published>2010-11-11T09:24:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T09:25:08.581-06:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Announcements"/><title type='text'>Ebsco access unavailable</title><content type='html'>Auto Repair Ref Center, Ebscohost, Novelist and Novelist K-8 are currently unavailable.

To avoid prosecution and minimize&lt;br /&gt;  the risks to your computer, make sure you have permission to use any&lt;br /&gt;  copyrighted information, and only download authorized files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does copyright infringement apply to the internet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Copyright infringement occurs when you use or distribute information without&lt;br /&gt;  permission from the person or organization that owns the legal rights to the&lt;br /&gt;  information. Including an image or cartoon on your website or in a document,&lt;br /&gt;  illegally downloading music, and pirating software are all common copyright&lt;br /&gt;  violations.  While these activities may seem harmless, they could have&lt;br /&gt;  serious legal and security implications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you know if you have permission to use something?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  If you find something on a website that you would like to use (e.g., a&lt;br /&gt;  document, a chart, an application), search for information about permissions&lt;br /&gt;  to use, download, redistribute, or reproduce. Most websites have a &quot;terms of&lt;br /&gt;  use&quot; page that explains how you are allowed to use information from the site&lt;br /&gt;  (see US-CERT&#39;s terms of use for an example). You can often find a link to&lt;br /&gt;  this page in the site&#39;s contact information or privacy policy, or at the&lt;br /&gt;  bottom of the page that contains the information you are interested in&lt;br /&gt;  using.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  There may be restrictions based on the purpose, method, and audience. You&lt;br /&gt;  may also have to adhere to specific conditions about how much information&lt;br /&gt;  you are allowed to use or how the information is presented and attributed.&lt;br /&gt;  If you can&#39;t locate the terms of use, or if it seems unclear, contact the&lt;br /&gt;  individual or organization that holds the copyright to ask permission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What consequences could you face?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Prosecution - When you illegally download, reproduce, or distribute&lt;br /&gt;      information, you risk legal action. Penalties may range from warnings&lt;br /&gt;      and mandatory removal of all references to costly fines. Depending on&lt;br /&gt;      the severity of the crime, jail time may also be a possibility. To&lt;br /&gt;      offset their own court costs and the money they feel they lose because&lt;br /&gt;      of pirated software, vendors may increase the prices of their products.&lt;br /&gt;    * Infection - Attackers could take advantage of sites or networks that&lt;br /&gt;      offer  unauthorized  downloads  (music, movies, software, etc.) by&lt;br /&gt;      including code into the files that would infect your computer once it&lt;br /&gt;      was installed (see Understanding Hidden Threats: Corrupted Software&lt;br /&gt;      Files and Understanding Hidden Threats: Rootkits and Botnets for more&lt;br /&gt;      information). Because you wouldn&#39;t know the source or identity of the&lt;br /&gt;      infection (or maybe that it was even there), you might not be able to&lt;br /&gt;      easily identify or remove it. Pirated software with hidden Trojan horses&lt;br /&gt;      is often advertised as discounted software in spam email messages (see&lt;br /&gt;      Why  is  Cyber  Security  a  Problem?  and  Reducing Spam for more&lt;br /&gt;      information).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * U.S. Copyright Office - &lt;http://www.copyright.gov/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Copyright on the Internet - &lt;http://www.fplc.edu/tfield/copynet.htm&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Author: Mindi McDowell&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Produced 2005 by US-CERT, a government organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Note: This tip was previously published and is being&lt;br /&gt;    re-distributed to increase awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Terms of use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/legal.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This document can also be found at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST05-004.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    For instructions on subscribing to or unsubscribing from this&lt;br /&gt;    mailing list, visit http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/feeds/8983510111508909837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11245056&amp;postID=8983510111508909837' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/8983510111508909837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/8983510111508909837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/2010/06/avoiding-copyright-infringement.html' title='Avoiding Copyright Infringement'/><author><name>Kelli Staley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpxnyhHQIRI/SyLj4Il4dHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KML4elnxhZg/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11245056.post-623086689959716369</id><published>2010-06-22T08:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T08:00:05.905-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tips/Tools/Tutorials"/><title type='text'>Reviewing End-User License Agreements</title><content type='html'>Cyber Security Tip ST05-005&lt;br /&gt;                   Reviewing End-User License Agreements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Before accepting an end-user license agreement, make sure you understand and&lt;br /&gt;  are comfortable with the terms of the agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is an end-user license agreement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  An end-user license agreement (EULA) is a contract between you and the&lt;br /&gt;  software&#39;s vendor or developer. Some software packages state that by simply&lt;br /&gt;  removing the shrink-wrap on the package, you agree to the contract. However,&lt;br /&gt;  you may be more familiar with the type of EULA that is presented as a dialog&lt;br /&gt;  box that appears the first time you open the software. It usually requires&lt;br /&gt;  you  to  accept the conditions of the contract before you can proceed.&lt;br /&gt;  Software updates and patches may also include new or updated EULAs that have&lt;br /&gt;  different terms than the original. Some EULAs only apply to certain features&lt;br /&gt;  of the software, so you may only encounter them when you attempt to use&lt;br /&gt;  those features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Unfortunately, many users don&#39;t read EULAs before accepting them. The terms&lt;br /&gt;  of each contract differ, and you may be agreeing to conditions that you&lt;br /&gt;  later  consider unfair or that expose you to security risks you didn&#39;t&lt;br /&gt;  expect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What terms may be included?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  EULAs are legal contracts, and the vendor or developer may include almost&lt;br /&gt;  any conditions. These conditions are often designed to protect the developer&lt;br /&gt;  or vendor against liability, but they may also include additional terms that&lt;br /&gt;  give the vendor some control over your computer. The following topics are&lt;br /&gt;  often covered in EULAs:&lt;br /&gt;    * Distribution - There are often limitations placed on the number of times&lt;br /&gt;      you  are  allowed  to  install the software and restrictions about&lt;br /&gt;      reproducing  the software for distribution (see Avoiding Copyright&lt;br /&gt;      Infringement for more information about copyright issues).&lt;br /&gt;    * Warranty - Developers or vendors often include disclaimers that they are&lt;br /&gt;      not liable for any problem that results from the software being used&lt;br /&gt;      incorrectly.  They  may also protect themselves from liability for&lt;br /&gt;      software flaws, software failure, or incompatibility with other programs&lt;br /&gt;      on your computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The following topics, while not standard, are examples of other conditions&lt;br /&gt;  that have been included in EULAs. They present security implications that&lt;br /&gt;  you should consider before accepting the agreement.&lt;br /&gt;    * Monitoring - Agreeing to the EULA may give the vendor permission to&lt;br /&gt;      monitor your computer activity and communicate the information back to&lt;br /&gt;      the vendor or to another third party. Depending on what information is&lt;br /&gt;      being collected, this type of monitoring could have both security and&lt;br /&gt;      privacy implications.&lt;br /&gt;    * Software installation - Some agreements allow the vendor to install&lt;br /&gt;      additional software on your computer. This may include updated versions&lt;br /&gt;      of  the software program you installed (the determination of which&lt;br /&gt;      version you are running may be a result of the monitoring described&lt;br /&gt;      above). Vendors may also incorporate statements that allow them or other&lt;br /&gt;      third parties to install additional software programs on your computer.&lt;br /&gt;      This software may be unnecessary, may affect the functionality of other&lt;br /&gt;      programs on your computer, and may introduce security risks.&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Author: Mindi McDowell&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Produced 2005 by US-CERT, a government organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Note: This tip was previously published and is being re-distributed to increase awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Terms of use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/legal.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This document can also be found at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST05-005.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    For instructions on subscribing to or unsubscribing from this mailing list, visit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/feeds/623086689959716369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11245056&amp;postID=623086689959716369' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/623086689959716369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/623086689959716369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/2010/06/reviewing-end-user-license-agreements.html' title='Reviewing End-User License Agreements'/><author><name>Kelli Staley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpxnyhHQIRI/SyLj4Il4dHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KML4elnxhZg/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11245056.post-2455323192952100532</id><published>2010-06-21T12:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T12:11:22.362-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tips/Tools/Tutorials"/><title type='text'>How Anonymous Are You?</title><content type='html'>Cyber Security Tip ST05-008&lt;br /&gt;                          How Anonymous Are You?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  You may think that you are anonymous as you browse websites, but pieces of&lt;br /&gt;  information about you are always left behind. You can reduce the amount of&lt;br /&gt;  information revealed about you by visiting legitimate sites, checking&lt;br /&gt;  privacy policies, and minimizing the amount of personal information you&lt;br /&gt;  provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What information is collected?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  When you visit a website, a certain amount of information is automatically&lt;br /&gt;  sent to the site. This information may include the following:&lt;br /&gt;    * IP address - Each computer on the internet is assigned a specific,&lt;br /&gt;      unique IP (internet protocol) address. Your computer may have a static&lt;br /&gt;      IP address or a dynamic IP address. If you have a static IP address, it&lt;br /&gt;      never changes. However, some ISPs own a block of addresses and assign an&lt;br /&gt;      open one each time you connect to the internet—this is a dynamic IP&lt;br /&gt;      address. You can determine your computer&#39;s IP address at any given time&lt;br /&gt;      by visiting www.showmyip.com.&lt;br /&gt;    * domain name - The internet is divided into domains, and every user&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;      account is associated with one of those domains. You can identify the&lt;br /&gt;      domain by looking at the end of URL; for example, .edu indicates an&lt;br /&gt;      educational institution, .gov indicates a US government agency, .org&lt;br /&gt;      refers to organization, and .com is for commercial use. Many countries&lt;br /&gt;      also have specific domain names. The list of active domain names is&lt;br /&gt;      available from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).&lt;br /&gt;    * software details - It may be possible for an organization to determine&lt;br /&gt;      which browser, including the version, that you used to access its site.&lt;br /&gt;      The organization may also be able to determine what operating system&lt;br /&gt;      your computer is running.&lt;br /&gt;    * page visits - Information about which pages you visited, how long you&lt;br /&gt;      stayed on a given page, and whether you came to the site from a search&lt;br /&gt;      engine is often available to the organization operating the website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  If a website uses cookies, the organization may be able to collect even more&lt;br /&gt;  information, such as your browsing patterns, which include other sites&lt;br /&gt;  you&#39;ve visited. If the site you&#39;re visiting is malicious, files on your&lt;br /&gt;  computer, as well as passwords stored in the temporary memory, may be at&lt;br /&gt;  risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this information used?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Generally, organizations use the information that is gathered automatically&lt;br /&gt;  for legitimate purposes, such as generating statistics about their sites. By&lt;br /&gt;  analyzing  the statistics, the organizations can better understand the&lt;br /&gt;  popularity of the site and which areas of content are being accessed the&lt;br /&gt;  most. They may be able to use this information to modify the site to better&lt;br /&gt;  support the behavior of the people visiting it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Another way to apply information gathered about users is marketing. If the&lt;br /&gt;  site uses cookies to determine other sites or pages you have visited, it may&lt;br /&gt;  use this information to advertise certain products. The products may be on&lt;br /&gt;  the same site or may be offered by partner sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  However, some sites may collect your information for malicious purposes. If&lt;br /&gt;  attackers are able to access files, passwords, or personal information on&lt;br /&gt;  your computer, they may be able to use this data to their advantage. The&lt;br /&gt;  attackers  may  be able to steal your identity, using and abusing your&lt;br /&gt;  personal information for financial gain. A common practice is for attackers&lt;br /&gt;  to use this type of information once or twice, then sell or trade it to&lt;br /&gt;  other people. The attackers profit from the sale or trade, and increasing&lt;br /&gt;  the number of transactions makes it more difficult to trace any activity&lt;br /&gt;  back to them. The attackers may also alter the security settings on your&lt;br /&gt;  computer so that they can access and use your computer for other malicious&lt;br /&gt;  activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you exposing any other personal information?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  While using cookies may be one method for gathering information, the easiest&lt;br /&gt;  way for attackers to get access to personal information is to ask for it. By&lt;br /&gt;  representing a malicious site as a legitimate one, attackers may be able to&lt;br /&gt;  convince you to give them your address, credit card information, social&lt;br /&gt;  security number, or other personal data (see Avoiding Social Engineering and&lt;br /&gt;  Phishing Attacks for more information).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you limit the amount of information collected about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Be careful supplying personal information - Unless you trust a site,&lt;br /&gt;      don&#39;t give your address, password, or credit card information. Look for&lt;br /&gt;      indications that the site uses SSL to encrypt your information (see&lt;br /&gt;      Protecting Your Privacy for more information). Although some sites&lt;br /&gt;      require  you  to  supply  your social security number (e.g., sites&lt;br /&gt;      associated with financial transactions such as loans or credit cards),&lt;br /&gt;      be especially wary of providing this information online.&lt;br /&gt;    * Limit cookies - If an attacker can access your computer, he or she may&lt;br /&gt;      be able to find personal data stored in cookies. You may not realize the&lt;br /&gt;      extent of the information stored on your computer until it is too late.&lt;br /&gt;      However,  you  can  limit the use of cookies (see Browsing Safely:&lt;br /&gt;      Understanding Active Content and Cookies for more information).&lt;br /&gt;    * Browse  safely  - Be careful which websites you visit; if it seems&lt;br /&gt;      suspicious,  leave the site. Also make sure to take precautions by&lt;br /&gt;      increasing your security settings (see Evaluating Your Web Browser&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;      Security Settings for more information), keeping your virus definitions&lt;br /&gt;      up to date (see Understanding Anti-Virus Software for more information),&lt;br /&gt;      and scanning your computer for spyware (see Recognizing and Avoiding&lt;br /&gt;      Spyware for more information).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Securing Your Web Browser&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Author: Mindi McDowell&lt;br /&gt;    _________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Produced 2005 by US-CERT, a government organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Note: This tip was previously published and is being&lt;br /&gt;    re-distributed to increase awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Terms of use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/legal.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This document can also be found at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST05-008.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    For instructions on subscribing to or unsubscribing from this&lt;br /&gt;    mailing list, visit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/feeds/2455323192952100532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11245056&amp;postID=2455323192952100532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/2455323192952100532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/2455323192952100532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-anonymous-are-you.html' title='How Anonymous Are You?'/><author><name>Kelli Staley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpxnyhHQIRI/SyLj4Il4dHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KML4elnxhZg/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11245056.post-1049820432688215524</id><published>2010-03-29T11:24:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T11:25:15.852-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Access From Home"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Announcements"/><title type='text'>New!

Due to the upcoming tax deadline, US-CERT reminds&lt;br /&gt;users to remain cautious when receiving unsolicited email that could&lt;br /&gt;be part of a potential phishing scam or malware campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These phishing scams and malware campaigns may include the following:&lt;br /&gt;information that refers to a tax refund, warnings about unreported or&lt;br /&gt;under-reported income, offers to assist in filing for a refund, or&lt;br /&gt;details about fake e-file websites. These messages, which appear to be&lt;br /&gt;from the IRS, may ask users to submit personal information via email&lt;br /&gt;or may instruct the user to follow a link to a website that requests&lt;br /&gt;personal information or contains malicious code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, US-CERT is aware of public reports indicating that there&lt;br /&gt;is active circulation of a tax season malware campaign. This malware&lt;br /&gt;campaign may be using malicious code commonly known as Zeus or Zbot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US-CERT encourages users and administrators to take the following&lt;br /&gt;measures to protect themselves from these types of phishing scams and&lt;br /&gt;malware campaigns:&lt;br /&gt; * Do not follow unsolicited web links in email messages.&lt;br /&gt; * Maintain up-to-date antivirus software.&lt;br /&gt; * Refer to the IRS website related to phishing, email, and bogus&lt;br /&gt;   website scams for scam samples and reporting information.&lt;br /&gt; * Refer to the Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams (pdf) document&lt;br /&gt;   for more information on avoiding email scams.&lt;br /&gt; * Refer to the Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks&lt;br /&gt;   document for more information on social engineering attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relevant Url(s):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST04-014.html&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/emailscams_0905.pdf&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;http://www.irs.gov/privacy/article/0,,id=179820,00.html?portlet=5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;====&lt;br /&gt;This entry is available at&lt;br /&gt;http://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.html#us_tax_season_phishing_scams</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/feeds/7225549783653730938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11245056&amp;postID=7225549783653730938' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/7225549783653730938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11245056/posts/default/7225549783653730938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lansinglibraryweb.blogspot.com/2010/03/us-tax-season-phishing-scams-and.html' title='US Tax Season Phishing Scams and Malware Campaigns'/><author><name>Kelli Staley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpxnyhHQIRI/SyLj4Il4dHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KML4elnxhZg/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11245056.post-3042471910160881075</id><published>2010-03-29T10:53:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T10:54:01.110-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Announcements"/><title type='text'>Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Email Scam</title><content type='html'>US-CERT Current Activity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Email Scam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Original release date: March 26, 2010 at 3:20 pm&lt;br /&gt;Last revised: March 26, 2010 at 3:20 pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US-CERT is aware of public reports of an active email scam.
