Rule No. 4: Don't get hacked!
AnonymousSpeech.com wants you to be aware of some popular hi-tech scams to help minimize
your chance of becoming a victim. Two of the more common scams are phishing (fraudulent
e-mails) and pharming (illegitimate imposter websites).
What are Phishing and Pharming?
Phishing (pronounced "fishing") is a type of e-mail
scam designed to steal your user ID and password.
It uses a fraudulent message that appears to be from a trusted business or financial
institution - often with an urgent request for you to provide sensitive personal
information.
AnonymousSpeech.com, we will never ask you to provide a user ID, password,
in response to an e-mail.
How to Protect Yourself
- Be suspicious of emails that urgently request sensitive personal information.
- AnonymousSpeech.com never sends any form of newsletters
- Never open any attachments, unless you are 100% sure they contain no malicious code
- Do not open attachments or click links in unfamiliar emails, as they may
place programs known as "keystroke loggers" on your computer.
- Avoid filling out forms contained in an e-mail message or in pop-ups that
appear over a legitimate company's Web site.
Pharming is a new, more advanced scam in which a user
is re-directed to an illegitimate Web site without his or her knowledge. For example,
a pharmer may take advantage of a virus on the user's computer to misdirect users
to an illegitimate Web site, usually with a slightly misspelled Web site address.
This may occur even though the user entered a correctly spelled Web site address,
and unsuspecting users often don't notice the difference.
How to Protect Yourself
- Look for digital certificates and SSL locks. Legitimate Web sites using certificate
authentication are more difficult to spoof. To be certain you have accessed a trustworthy
site, look for the SSL lock icon in your Internet browser window. All AnonymousSpeech.com
pages
are SSL-enabled and include a lock icon.
- Verify the website name in the browser. To determine if the Web address in
your browser is a real AnonymousSpeech.com address, look for ".anonymousSpeech.com"
immediately before
the first "/". Note: there must be a "." before anonymousSpeech.com
for the address to be
legitimate.
Examples of illegitimate AnonymousSpeech addresses:
http://anonymousspeech.com@10.19.32.4/
http://anonymousspech.com/
Real AnonymousSpeech Address:
https://www.anonymousspeech.com
http://www.anonymousspeech.com
In addition to the techniques above, make sure that you also follow these security
tips to protect your information.
