Spyware

uptowngirl615 asked:

I cannot log into my blog account or view a friend’s without seeing this from McFee anti-virus:

Warning: Potentially Dangerous Web Site Detected!

You have been redirected to this Web page by the McAfee AntiPhishing Filter. The Web site you requested is in our list of Web sites that are potentially trying to obtain unauthorized confidential information. If you proceed to this site, you may be at risk, especially if you have clicked on this link from an e-mail.

How can I tell if a website is really phishing for my password other than that warning above? I’m confused! What can I look out for?

SinSoakedGuy asked:

I receive so many phishing (fraudulent) emails asking to update my bank account details else threatening to close my bank account. These are basically emails pretending to be from a bank and provide a link to a hoax webpage designed to look like your original bank website, wherein you’re expected to put in all your bank login details.

Interesting thing is, I’ve managed to do a Whois search on the fraudulent domain names and been able to get contact details of the person registering the hoax domain names.

My question is, isn’t it easy for the police to track down such criminial websites and the persons operating them? Why is the threat for phishing scam not taken seriously? I don’t even know if there’s a separate government department set up for reporting cybercrime.

WARNING: new phishing scam purported from cox.net closing webmail accounts. This is not from cox.net. it asks for surname and passwords for cox.net email accounts and instructs you to send them to a yahoo.com address—–DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANY COX CUSTOMERS.

So I clicked on a pic b/c it was of me (from my friebnd) and when I clicked it, it took me to a site where pop-ups were coming and looked pornographic. So I immideately closed out of it, ran anti-virus stuff etc. when I tried getting back on myspace (where the link was from) it said I was victimized by phishing and to change my password immideately so they can’t access my account. So I did.
Now my question is how safe or unsafe am I now?? I did everything it said, but am I still at a threat of them having my info. or bank numbers ect? I mean, it was myspace not something associated w/ my bank so is there anyway they could get that infO??

Please help, I’m soooo nervous now.
