Phishing Scam – Fake LinkedIn E-mails Link To Malicious
Software
Bogus e-mails are being distributed in a massive campaign that
pretends to be from LinkedIn, the business networking site. (How massive?
According to Cisco Security, at one point nearly one in four spam messages
was a fake LinkedIn invite.) Designed to resemble genuine LinkedIn messages,
they claim that pending invitations are awaiting the recipient's response and
advise him or her to visit the LinkedIn e-mail inbox to view the invitations.
However, the e-mails are not from LinkedIn and the links contained in the
messages do not lead to the LinkedIn website. In fact, all links in the bogus
messages point to a website that contains malicious software. Clicking the
links opens a page that tries to trick you into downloading and installing
the software, which may be a rogue antivirus program or other type of
malware.

To help avoid this type of scam, LinkedIn recommends you only
connect to people you know and trust well enough to recommend them to others.
Visit the LinkedIn customer service page for more information on account
security and privacy best practices.

This Month's FAQ – What Is Social Engineering And What Are
Some Examples?
Question: I've heard people talk about social
engineering with respect to computer security, but I'm confused by the term.
Could you explain what it is and give a few examples?
 Answer: In
computer security, social engineering is a term that describes an intrusion
by a hacker that relies on human interaction and manipulation to steal information.
This may involve obviously valuable information like usernames and passwords.
Or it could be seemingly harmless details (like where you went on vacation or
the name of your first pet) that hackers want in order to send you highly
targeted spam or try to hack into your accounts.
There are many different social engineering tactics, and these attacks can be
done over the phone, in person, or online. Here are two examples of what
social engineering hackers may do:
- Pretend to be someone from your company's
Internet service provider and ask for your employee password in order to
"test the service."
- Look at your profile on social networking sites
like Facebook to extract tidbits of information that could lead to the
answers to your "secret questions" on secure websites. These
questions are ones like "What is your mother's maiden name?"
that are used if you cannot remember your username or password.
To avoid falling victim to social engineering, be diligent about
your privacy settings on social networking sites and make sure the answers to
your "secret questions" aren't revealed by your profiles or
pictures. In addition, don't blindly accept friend invites; review each one
carefully. Hackers set up phony social networking profiles and you don't want
to accidentally become friends with them!
