Warning! – Traveler Scams Are All Over The Map
If you receive an e-mail from a friend saying he/she is stranded
in London as a result of the Icelandic volcano eruption and the resulting
cancellation of flights, chances are your friend's e-mail account has been
hacked. This "stranded in London" e-mail is just one of many
variations on traveler scams being used by phishers.
 Here's
how the scam typically works:
Step 1: The "traveler" receives an official-looking e-mail
that appears to be from the administrator of the e-mail account, and is asked
to reply to the e-mail with his/her e-mail password or the account will be
closed.
Step 2: The phisher logs in to the traveler's account, using the real
password, and then changes the password so that the traveler can no longer
access his/her e-mail.
Step 3: The phisher reads e-mails in the traveler's account to
identify people who might be friends.
Step 4: The traveler's friends get an e-mail from the traveler's
normal e-mail address, containing a message like this: "I'm out of the
country and (I lost my wallet or flights have been delayed or I've been
mugged) and I need you to wire me money immediately in order for me to get
home."
Step 5: Because the e-mail came from the traveler's real e-mail
address, the friends are able to send replies and receive answers to convince
them that this is a genuine e-mail. Some proceed to send money, which ends up
going to the phisher.
In addition to hacking into e-mail accounts, these phishers are also breaking
into social networking accounts and posing as the user. They then send
e-mails, instant messages, or tweets to friends and family saying they're in
trouble while traveling and urgently need money. To protect yourself from
becoming a "traveler," be very skeptical of any e-mail that asks
for your password or any link that asks you to log in to a social networking
site again.

This Month's FAQ – What's The Difference Between Facebook Pages
And Facebook Groups?
Question: What's the difference between Facebook
Pages and Facebook Groups? At first glance, they seem similar to me.
Answer: While Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups do have some
overlapping features, they were created to serve different purposes. Here are
descriptions of each:
 Pages
allow entities such as public figures, brands, and businesses to broadcast
information to their fans. Pages can be thought of in much the same way as
personal Facebook profiles, since Pages can also have friends, add pictures,
and allow fans to post messages on walls. Not only can you connect with your
favorite people and organizations through Pages, but you also can show your
friends what you care about and recommend by adding Pages to your personal
profile. When you become a fan of (now referred to as "Like") a
Page, that information is posted on your wall for friends to see. Pages are
indexed by external search engines such as Google, just like a public
profile, while Groups are not.
Groups are meant to foster discussion around a particular topic or
cause, and are designed for more personal interaction than are Pages. The key
feature behind Groups is the ability to make them "invite only" or
limited to specific networks. Administrators can set up Groups to be open to
anyone, closed (where users must get administrator approval to join), or
secret (invite only). For example, there could be a Group for alumni that is
open only to a particular university network. Because of these privacy
settings, Groups are similar to clubs in the offline world. Administrators
can invite members to join via Facebook mail and e-mail, and open groups can
be found via the Facebook search page.
