5 Simple Rules To Fight Against Phishing
I often receive phishing emails, mostly claiming to be from PayPal, ICICI or similar sites where money involved. Yesterday, I received an email claiming to be from PayPal. Of course, I didn’t fall for it, but it looked so genuine that I thought about sharing few simple rules which I follow for my own safety.
Rule 0: Be Skeptical
Please remember, your credit-card and other banking information such as login ID, passwords, ATM PIN, etc are very sensitive data. So always be skeptical when someone ask them to enter it.
Don’t look at why they are asking your data, just care about what data they are asking!
Rule 1: Always Look at Link URL before Clicking
Thanks to HTML, any text can point to any website.
Ok now how to look at the link URL before clicking it?
Most standard browsers show actual link URL in status bar when you point your mouse to the linked text.
As shown below, if you just point your mouse to Get Verified text, you can see a link not pointing to paypal.com.
Make this URL checking part of your habit as this will save you from lots of troubles in future.
One more example I would like to share is: http://www.yahoo.com. If you noticed it, its pointing to Microsoft’s website. Yes, text which looks like URL itself, can point to any other URL in background!
Rule 2: Check Email Headers for Actual Sender
Most people don’t know that FROM field in emails can be changed by sender. I can send you email from bill@microsoft.com. The technique is called email forging and is used in almost all phishing emails.
So how to check if email you received is not forged? Most trusted method is to check email headers. But email headers are quite long and complex, so checking them manually is pain. Also technique differs slightly for each email service providers.
I use Gmail and on Gmail things are always easy. So whenever you receive a mail on Gmail, look for show details option.
When you click on it, first line will be expanded and you will see a mailed-by line as shown below…
Now this is quite different compare to paypal.com. Moreover a signed-by line is completely missing! Emails by large organizations also have a signed-by line which protect them against misuse of their domain name. Now have a look at a genuine email from PayPal…
If you are on Gmail, use can use this show details option to verify sender of email. I don’t know about its counterpart on Yahoo or Hotmail, but if you know it, please share.
Rule 3: Use Google Toolbar or any other anti-phishing technique/filter
Yes, Google Toolbar is not just for making your life easier while using Googles’ services. It comes with built-in anti-phishing filters which warns you whenever you open malicious sites.
Following is screenshot of Google Toolbar warning when I opened site pointed by Get Verified text as discussed in Rule 1.
Google Toolbar gave me almost 100% protection against phishing sites. Still if you just don’t like Google Toolbar, you can still use Google search to find a good anti-phishing filter for free!
Rule 4: Use a secure browser like Firefox
All major services authenticate users over secure channels. Even services which uses unsecure channels normally, process login pages via secure channels. Some famous examples, Gmail, Facebook
, Orkut, Yahoo. While banking sites are normally use secure channels through-out the session.
A small difference between secure and unsecure channels is, secure URL stats HTTPS while unsecure starts with HTTP. Note the missing ‘S’. (Read more on HTTPS)
Now when you encounter a genuine login page in browser like Firefox, you can note following changes…
* Navigation bar background changes to yellow. Also a lock icon is shown indicating a secure site. Here you should also check domain name, which we often overlook.
Status bar also shows lock icon along with domain name for which digital certificate is issued.
These two things can not be forged so look at them whenever in doubt.
Rule 5: Report Phishing…
Great you saved your ass. Its time to save others’ now… ;-)
Gmail users can simply use Report Phishing option as shown below.
Rest if you have free time and energy, you can report phishing to authorities.
This rule is important as anti-phishing filters uses sites user report as phishing. So more you contribute, better security we all get… :-)
Remember, phishing is a serious crime and creating a phishing site can easily put you behind the bars. On the other hand, if you become victim of phishing somehow, you can not sue your bank or service provider for compensation. They have made it clear in their terms of service (ToS) which nobody reads!
Its your responsibility to fight for yourself. Others at the most can help you. Don’t expect more! :-)

Now Easily Sync Contacts of your Mobile Phone with Google Account!
Syncing all your details on mobile handsets with computers have become really very important to avoid any accidental loss of data (especially contacts, memos and messages) on your phone. If you have ever lost your mobile phone or come across any software issues, then you must be knowing how important it is to make a backup of all the datas on a secure place.
Though you can easily take a back-up of all the data on your PC using the softwares that come along with the mobile handset, but what if the data on your PC too gets deleted? Recently, Google have come up with a new service รข€“ Google Sync using which you can sync all data of your mobile with your Google account and vice versa using GPRS on your phone.
Supported Devices:
Apple iPhone
Blackberry
Nokia s60 & s40 phones
Sony Ericsson
Windows Mobile
The complete step-by-step procedure on syncing your devices is mentioned here.
Though I could not test out this service personally as am using a palm based handset which is not supported for this service, but to me it seems to be very useful service and of course reliable too, as its being provided by Google.
Customize Color of Gmail Inbox! [New Feature]
Since the launch of Gmail Themes, there were rumors that Google may soon come up with features to customize the themes in Gmail and Orkut as per users choice as in iGoogle. Though, this time customizable themes option is not released neither for Gmail nor for Orkut, but using this new new feature we are talking about, you can color your inbox as per your choice. :-)
Those you are excited to know more about this feature can have a look on the screenshot below, and imagine how your inbox would look after you customize its colors.
You can edit your Gmail inbox colors by clicking Settings-> Themes-> Choose your own colors
The above edited colors of my inbox may not look good and attractive to you as am not good with color combinations, still I feel this is a good feature and Gmail users looking out for add-on will love to use this feature. So if you were bored with the existing theme directory of Gmail then give this feature a try, its really worth giving a try.

Free Language Translator
Free Language Translator is a desktop language translator application using the Google translation service. It adds more features to the existing service and addresses some of its shortcomings.
Quick guide for using this free multi language translator:
* Open a text document or paste some text here, select the “To” and “From” languages, click on the “Translate” and select one of the options from the menu.
* You can create your custom dictionary to correct the online translation and save them for further use when using the “Translate and use Custom Dictionary” menu option.
* In order to add an entry to your Custom Dictionary, select the text to be corrected, right click in the translation panel and select “Add to Custom Dictionary”. You will be able to make further changes manually by typing into the translation panel while tracking the synchronized original panel.
* The status bar can display an optional empiric quality of translation. Selecting a smaller page size increases the translation time a little bit, but at the same time, for large amount of text, it can improve translation accuracy and synchronization between the original and translation panels.
* You can also set the orientation of the panels from the combo box on the status bar.
* Finally, select the translated text and copy into the clipboard, right click in the translation panel and choose “Copy Selection”, or just save it as a file using the “Save File” icon in the toolbar.
