Love vs cybersecurity: How to use dating apps and protect your privacy?

by

Are you looking for love? Or rather an adventure? Whatever your preferences you surely want to take advantage of a large number of apps that exist in the market to facilitate or improve your search for the right person. Nowadays you can look for someone because of their tastes, their location, or whatever. The question is how secure are these dating apps? Can you protect your privacy enough by using them?

Like almost everything in the digital and interconnected world, these dating apps are also vulnerable to cyber attacks, and many people have suffered consequences, either because they have leaked files of their intimate life that have been exchanged through these applications, or worse, have been the victim of some fraud or criminals that are not the people who claim to be in these apps. So, how to balance your love or sexual life without endangering your security or privacy?

We do not want you to stay single for fear of being victim to an attack like these. If you follow some security measures in the digital or physical world, you can reduce the chances that your information will be used for other purposes than what you are looking for.

Advantages and disadvantages of dating apps and how to use them safely

  1. The duality between privacy and the veracity of information: One of the main problems that arise in these dating applications is knowing if the person is really who they say they are. Some of these apps allow users to register with Facebook, place work or study site, so this could allow the other person to see if this person, in a certain way, is “real”. The counterpart: the person being investigated, how can we know if they are really looking for an “appointment”? Our advice: limit information about yourself on the Internet to the one you want others to know about you, and with whom you want them to know about you, then you can introduce yourself as you like.
  2. The ideal, in this case, is to have common sense and not to share personal information immediately, as well as it is advisable to have the first dates in public places. Moreover not to give money: it is important to note that there are even people who have been victims of fraud, where their alleged “dates” have asked for money and for some reason there are those who have agreed.
  3. Another common feature of these applications is that they allow you to locate a person close to you, thanks to geolocation, there are also much more accurate, as they indicate how many times you have crossed with that person. It can be an advantage if you want to look for someone in your area, but also it is a disadvantage due to the fact that you are making it clear where you are, and even worse if you indicate each step you take. It is preferable to opt for applications that do not use this modality, which would only allow users to communicate directly so that they define where to find each other. Although it is not so exact, you have the power to determine where and when you want to meet that person.
  4. Secure communications: The problem with many of these dating apps is that they do not have secure communication channels between their users, and therefore they are victims of data leakage. When choosing the application, take into account that your app use encryption in your system to protect the privacy of its users.

For your part, add all the necessary layers of protection, connect to secure networks, use a VPN and an antivirus to protect the device you use.

How to protect your privacy from spies in electronic devices

by

When we talk about spies you probably think about typical movie characters who take photos secretly from afar, but the reality is different. Spies can be very close to you, in your electronic devices which you use daily. The internet of things has come to solve many of our day-to-day activities, the problem is that any device connected to the Internet, no matter how harmless it may seem, can be an open window to access your information. So, how to protect your privacy from spies? protecting your information does not only have to do with installing an antivirus on your computer or mobile when even your smart refrigerator could also be vulnerable to a data leak.

It’s not just about protecting your information from potential hackers or cybercriminals, but from companies that want to obtain your data and then offer you products in a personalized way, without your consent.

Televisions, refrigerators, lamps, thermostats, voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri, and an endless number of appliances that need to be connected to the Internet, collect your personal information, use cameras or information from your home to work properly.

Tips to protect your privacy in technology and on the internet

  1. Let’s start with the basics: it is essential to read the terms and conditions of each service that we use, although they may seem long and incomprehensible, it is the only way to know what type of data the device collects and how it uses it.
  2. The most common victim of a spy is on mobile devices, through Spyware, but do not worry, there are always ways to control them, and here you can know how.
  3. If it is about spies, we can not leave out the ability of Google services to make you feel spied on. Here you can read how to control the access they have to your information and continue to use them.
  4. Generally, at home, we have a router to provide a connection to all the devices you have connected and which are in use. This means that if it is not well protected, this could be the first access to the information stored by ALL your devices. So the first device to protect your privacy is your router.
  5. The voice assistants are those that have caused more controversy, due to their powerful sensors and the capacity they have to listen and keep information since they are always in search of a command that orders some action. Therefore it is important to deactivate that constant listening and activate it only when necessary.
  6. The vast majority of these devices allow you to erase the data that you have been storing. In the case of Google, for example, your devices and applications have an activity page that allows you to delete them, as well as to register what interests you. That will make it possible for you to eliminate clues about your actions on these devices.
  7. Although we know that the only way that these devices are 100% secure and that they can not be accessed, is that they are disconnected from the Internet, but in this way, it does not make sense to use them. However, it is not necessary to connect every application the device has, all applications can be connected at the time of use, or only the applications or accessories needed or most used.
  8. You can add some of the firewalls created especially for the internet of things, these are small devices designed so that everyone who is connected can protect themselves from cyber attacks.
  9. Do not forget, of course, the need to protect our devices such as: mobiles, computers or tablets, which have a greater capacity to store data, either with their respective antivirus, using VPNs to connect or protecting your files in applications like HushApp that allow you to store and send your files easily and safely.

It is not necessary to go back to the past and reuse the old devices and home appliances to protect your privacy, there are ways to take advantage of the technology by using them in a responsible and safe way.

7 basic tips to protect the banking data of a cyber attack

by

Every day more companies join the different changes that digital transformation implies in their services, in order to provide greater comfort, usability and agility to their customers. However, digitalization leads to an increase in risks in terms of cyber attacks, which are growing by leaps and bounds and cover any business sector, especially the financial sector, since customer banking data is the most desired objective by hackers.

A common example is the mobile applications of the banks, the clients, without a doubt, prefer to carry out their transactions from their smartphones, for the speed and ease that it offers them. But if the necessary measures are not taken, this would be an open door for any cybercriminal to obtain information or money easily from the users and the banks.

Phishing, Ransomware, Malware, DDoS attacks and ATM attacks are terms that have become increasingly common in the financial world. This has forced security professionals to increase their efforts so that banking data remains protected and at the same time are easily accessible to users.

According to the Cisco Latin America blog, the main concerns of security professionals are: the use given to mobile devices (58%), sensitive data stored in public clouds (57%) and finally (57%) behavior of the user. It could be said, according to this data, that it will largely depend on the degree of awareness regarding cybersecurity that the user may have when handling sensitive information.

That is why education on issues of cybersecurity and privacy plays a fundamental role. Start with some tips or online security measures that can make a difference when making a bank transaction safely, and here we mention some.

How to protect your banking data from a cyber attack?

  1. Keep your computer’s operating system updated: starting with the basics is the first step in improving the security of your information, especially computers. One of the most common vulnerabilities that facilitates cyber attacks are outdated operating systems. The most likely to be affected can be: Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. 
  2. Avoid connecting to a network Public Wi-Fi: when it comes to banking data and transactions, it is preferable to avoid connecting with a public network at all costs, in case it is very necessary, here you can read some extra security measures.
  3. Use Two-factor authentication: most banks have this service, it is important to take advantage of it, with this the bank will be able to verify if the account holder was connected or made any transaction, since it recognizes which devices are registered by the client.
  4. Disconnect or log out of the mobile or web application: if you are not going to continue using the account, it is preferable to disconnect or log out, from any of the devices you are using. A simple step that adds more difficulty to cybercriminals.
  5. Activate notifications by text message: it is advisable to activate notifications on the mobile to have up-to-date information on all transactions, and thus easily recognize any suspicious activity. You can also activate it (some banks already do it automatically) for notifications of high amounts.
  6. In case of being a victim of an attack like some ransomware, it is important to resist the impulse to pay the delinquents, since that will not ensure that the information is recovered. The most advisable thing is to call the relevant authorities so they can follow up on the case.
  7. Store banking data in secure applications: Data such as users, passwords, and other sensitive banking information can be stored in secure applications that allow you to keep your files encrypted.  With Hushapp you can save these types of files in the Hushbox of your mobile and they will remain safe, even if your device reaches inadequate hands, only you will have access to those files. You can also send them to whoever you want from the application and they will remain protected.

Data Breach: Types and Vulnerabilities

by

We invite you to read Hogan Injury’s post, our special guests:

For many years now, data has been a critical part of every organization. Criminals have been sharpening their tools to breach companies’ cybersecurity to get a hold of sensitive data.

What is a data breach?

A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal is able to infiltrate a data source and acquire sensitive information, either done physically by accessing a computer or a network and steal the information or compromising a network security remotely. The latter is the one often used to target companies.

What are types of data breaches?

  1. Phishing. This refers to attempts to extract information from users by presenting itself as something official. This could be an email message that looks like an official message from your bank asking you to update your information.
  2. Password attacks. Cybercriminals run programs that would try multiple passwords until they are able to access your accounts. Such attacks can successfully crack unsecure passwords.
  3. Malware. The word “malware” is the general term used to refer to any virus. Worms and Trojans are among the best-known malwares. To keep them from infiltrating systems, risk management firms advise against clicking links and opening attachments from unrecognized sources.
  4. Ransomware. This type of breach is becoming popular recently, especially in law firms and hospitals. Cybercriminals, after gaining access to the network or website, will shut it down and lock it from all functionalities. After which, the criminals will ask for ransom for the access and the information gained.
  5. Denial of Service. This breach happens when the attackers or hackers attempt to prevent legitimate users from accessing a network, account, or service. It is done by flooding the users with useless and invalid authentication requests, resulting in the network to eventually crash.

How does a company become vulnerable to data breaches?

  • Employees. Insider threat remains to be on top of the list of security risks, partially because it is much easier for those who already have access to data to abuse it. Unhappy employees and those who have recently separated from the company are potential threats to data security. Employers must employ protocols that will minimize internal attacks and immediately deactivate separated employees’ login credentials. Employees who are careless and uninformed are equally dangerous.
  • Cloud Storage Apps. While it is a modern and convenient way to store data, cloud systems are vulnerable to breaches. To minimize risk, choose a reputable cloud storage company that uses data encryption.
  • Mobile Devices. When employees are allowed to bring and use their own mobile devices at work, it is a lot more difficult to control security, passwords, downloads, and other activities. Companies that allow employees to sue their own mobile device must have a comprehensive written policy in terms of expectations, liabilities, and limitations.
  • Third Party Service Providers. Outsourcing can be convenient and cost-effective, but it also leaves your company susceptible to cyber attacks and data breaches, especially if your service provider uses low-security methods. To minimize risk, choose a reputable third party service provider; have them specify in the contract their security procedures and the assumption of liability in case of a data breach in their system.

How to succeed in choosing a secure VPN connection?

by

Previously we had commented in one of our post what is a VPN, its functions and the advantage of having it when using the Internet safely. However, this system may also have its cons that you should consider when making sure to choose a secure vpn.

As mentioned above, these networks allow the web browsing data remain incognito for the internet provider, but not for the company that manages the VPN. This means that we must trust whoever offers us this connection. How to know what service we can trust? Although the question seems difficult to answer, there are some tips that you can take into account to choose the most appropriate VPN, as well as the best quality.

Secure VPN: Free or paid version?

One of the main characteristics to take into account when choosing a secure vpn is to know if it is free or paid. Obviously, our first option will be free version, however, these versions usually have certain limitations, and although they cost nothing, the rest there is much to say …

Generally the speed is not adequate, they are also unreliable in terms of privacy. Since some VPN store data and the activity of its users, which can then be used to display personalized advertising or for illegitimate purposes.

Therefore, if what concerns you is security and confidentiality, it is better to make the investment in a paid version, with which you will have a range of options on the web.

Other aspects to consider

We are clear that we will have to invest to have a secure VPN, now the task is to define which fits our needs:

You can start by evaluating the reputation of the company behind the VPN, review user comments, blog or specialized forums , etc.

Take into account the location of your servers: as well as the laws that exist in the country where you are located and if they could affect your privacy. It is advisable to look for those that have a great worldwide presence.

Another basic point to choose a vpn is the speed: Generally the paid versions do not limit in this, however, it is important to consider the latency, rise and fall speed.

The type of data stored: Even if it is paid, it is possible to store some data such as the source IP or the time to which you have connected.

The protocols used by the VPN, since not all are equally safe. The most common are: PPTP, L2TP / IPSec, OpenPVN and SSTP. The PPTP is perhaps the least secure with some vulnerabilities discovered.

Of course, it does not hurt to compare prices and the forms of payment they offer, to know which one suits your pocket better.

What are the cybersecurity measures to carry out your Christmas shopping safely?

by

Christmas is a time to share with your family, and to celebrate your appreciation you buy gifts for your loved ones. The races begin between preparations for Christmas dinners and hurried purchases, without a doubt we decided to make purchases via internet. The cybercriminals are aware of your Christmas stress and will take advantage to access your information. There is no need to be a victim of stress! Follow these basic cybersecurity measures to carry out your Christmas shopping safely so you can enjoy this time of year peacefully.

Make your Christmas shopping online safely:

One way to save time for our Christmas shopping is to buy items online. This allows us to avoid travelling to shopping centers that are full of people as you look for gifts that can cost you hours out of the day. If you decide to do your shopping online, follow these recommendations below:

  1. No matter how hurry you are, do not connect with a public Wi-Fi to make purchases, it is preferable to do so from a secure network with your devices or with a trusted one. If it is extremely necessary, do it using a VPN.
  2. Choose websites from well-known and reputable brands, one way to find out if the site is credible is to review the comments of other users who have made purchases on the site before. In addition, if you follow these tips you can identify a secure web page to make your purchases.
  3. It is also important to check that they have a transparent system for tracking orders.
  4. Use prepaid cards: Some banks offer virtual prepaid cards, these provide greater security because they can be charged with the exact amount you need for your purchase.

Christmas shopping physical stores with a credit card

With the rise of cyber attacks, every day they become more serious and more complex. It is not surprising that large numbers of the population resist shopping online, the problem is that the dangers are also present in the purchases we make in physical stores, so we must be cautious at all times.

Beware of Skimmers:

One of the ways that criminals have to attack is through “skimmers”. These are devices very similar to the usual payment terminal but they are designed to read the card when passing scanning it. They capture your PIN number and bank details when a simple card transaction is made.

If the establishment says they have had problems with the payment terminal all day or very often, it may be because a “Skimmer” has been implanted in the reader, making it necessary for you to swipe your card more times than usual for it to capture the data.

Keep distance when you pay with contactless payment systems:

The contactless payment system are in danger too, there is a technology called “near-field communications”, which can be controlled or captured remotely. For this, the person who tries to intercept the payment information needs to be close to the victim. So if you are using this payment system, look around and insist that no one is by your side when you go to pay.

Avoid using the magnetic stripe of the card:

It is unusual to use magnetic stripe cards because almost all have chips instead. However, cybercriminals can disable the chip reader or cause an error message to appear, thus forcing you to re-pass the card using the magnetic stripe. If the payment device has been enabled to read chips, but still shows an error message, you should consider another form of payment.

We must be aware that cybersecurity is present at all times and all areas of our lives, if we take the proper precautions each day, we can enjoy our holidays in peace.

Today’s Big Thing, “Big Data”: What You Need to Know

by

We invite you to read Hogan Injury’s post, our special guests:

It is projected that by 2020, 1.7 megabytes of data will be generated for every person in the world, every single second; and the proportion of data that needs to be protected is growing faster than the digital universe itself. All the data coming in large volumes from different places is called Big Data.

Big data basically means sets of structured or unstructured data whose volumes are so large and so complex that traditional data processing software cannot process them within a reasonable amount of time. The information mined from these sets are then analyzed and put to good use. Big data involves more than just the volume and complexity of data, however. Doug Laney laid out the definition of big data in 3 V’s.

Volume: Data is collected from everyone, everywhere. From social media activity to online shopping, data can be farmed from everywhere.

Velocity: The speed at which data streams in near-real time thanks to RFID tags, sensors, and smart metering.

Variety: Big data comes in different formats—emails, texts, videos, forms, business transactions, etc.

Some real world uses for big data include:

  • Retail organizations and commercial companies monitor social media activities to find out emerging trends in the market. This way, they can ride the trend and start selling things people are clamoring for at that point in time.
  • Financial organizations analyze data from their clients to organize them into different groups. This categorizing results in more optimized programs that can better serve the needs of their clients. Data analyzed from their clients’ activities could also help detect fraud.
  • Hospitals analyze patient data to foresee which patients would most likely be readmitted and plan treatment programs that will prevent the patients from needing to be readmitted.
  • Industrial companies use machines that gather data that allows them to figure out when a certain machine would need upkeep or replacement.

Data extracted from big data can be very helpful in a lot of ways for many people and organizations. However, as a now famous fictional uncle once told his nephew, “with great power comes great responsibility.” There are two major considerations when trying to build a business around big data. One is data ownership — who has the rights to an individual person’s data and what rights do the government, financial, commercial or health institutions have to them.

The other is data protection. Once an institution or business has access to their clients’ data, how do they protect the private information that go through their systems on a daily basis?

With the scandal of data leaked or sold by such a large social media company as Facebook, more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of leaving their personal data unprotected. Realizing that something as innocuous as answering online quizzes could actually be used for data mining is somewhat worrying.

Having a good grasp of the legal implications of going into big data is very important. Big data is still an emerging and growing market. If you have any concerns about the legality of anyone, be it an individual or an institution, using and keeping personal data, it is best to get in touch with a lawyer that understand the legalities surrounding data rights, privacy, and protection.

10 tips to ensure your web page of possible cyber attacks

by

A web page is not complete if you do not add the necessary security levels. According to Hootsuite, 82% of users immediately leave a page if they feel unprotected when visiting a website. Therefore, it is useless to have a nice and easy to use website if it is an easy target for hackers who can carry out possible cyber attacks.  

The cybercriminals have a wide range of tools that they can use to attack you through your web page. The most severe dangers that you may encounter will be the access of sensitive data that is exchanged on your website, a virus or malware, or even send emails from your accounts using your identity.

Another important point to consider is that major search engines such as Google have increased the penalties for unsafe websites, therefore your website would have less exposure to searches due to lacking the appropriate security for your website. There are some fundamental measures to ensure your website is safe from possible cyber attacks. The following are some ways to protect yourself and help safeguard from a potential attack.

How to secure my website of possible cyber attacks?

  1. Add HTTPS security with an SSL certificate: The basic rule of how to know if a site is safe or not is to check if the beginning of the URL is “https”. Websites that have this have a padlock, and for this you need an SSL certificate. The typical connection where websites are hosted is HTTP, notice it is the same but there is no  “s” at the end. This website would be open to leak any sensitive data of users such as users and passwords or banking information if it is an e-commerce.

Using HTTPS, an encrypted connection is established between the browser and the website therefore data cannot be intercepted. The SSL certificate is what will provide this encryption and you should only install it on your hosting, the way to do it will depend on the provider.

Another clear benefit is that by having these type of secure pages, search engines will give them a better promote them.

  1. Add a Security Seal to a website: Having a site seal is an extra layer of security  because it acts as an antivirus for your page. These stamps can monitor your website under searches of malwares or viruses that may have been loaded by a hacker, and it notifies you so you can eliminate potential harm.
  2. Keep your website code updated: Just like you do with any application or software on your devices.
  3. Similarly, keep the platform and the scripts updated especially for the CMS (content management system) that you use.
  4. Change the prefix of the table in the database of your website: In the case of blogs like WordPress they have the default prefix “wp”, this can be changed and it will be harder for hackers to obtain information from your website.
  5. Place a password on the database of the site, thereby adding more protection to the information collected by your website.
  6. After having uploaded or updated the content of your website, be sure to delete the copy that remains in your device. Mainly since if you do not, any cybercriminal could access your computer and have access to your files, therefore save them in a secure place.
  7. It uses a CDN: A content delivery network consists of a network of several servers that are spread over different points between which the work and information is distributed. Its advantage is that if one server is attacked, the others serve as a backup.
  8. If your website is an e-commerce, you must ensure that your customers can trust it.
  9. Use robust passwords to access your website: Although it seems obvious, many people omit it, thereby making a hacker’s life much easier especially if they are seeking to access all site content, so you must protect it.

Although no measure is 100% infallible to avoid possible cyber attacks, the more layers of security you add to your website, the harder it becomes for hackers.

10 tips to avoid being a victim of a spyware

by

Did you know that there are applications that allow you to spy on your mobile devices? Yes, they are called spyware or software to spy on devices. They are applications that can be downloaded by anyone for free with a simple search on the Internet. All you need to do is simply install it on your victim’s device and begin spying!

The capability of these applications might be shocking to learn. They can access all the conversations that are carried out by WhatsApp or other social media, intervene the microphone of your device, know the geolocation, and even activate remote camera to see what happens around the phone at all times.

Imagine a scenario where a guy gives his girlfriend a cell phone, but without informing her, installed a spy application. Through this spyware they can monitor all online activity without the user being aware. Despite this being an extreme example,  in general, people should be aware of their privacy and understand how easily it can be compromised

These types of applications are usually offered to parents to “monitor” their children’s mobile devices, or for a boss who wants to monitor employees. This can undoubtedly generate a great debate regarding privacy.

The only thing we can do is protect our devices from these type of applications, and here we explain how.

How to avoid being spied on with spyware applications?

  1. There are simple signals that can alert you if something strange happens on your cell phone. One of them is the performance of your battery, although it can be due to many causes, if you detect an unusual battery consumption, it is possible that there is an app of this type.
  2. Check the list of applications, if there is any unknown, You can uninstall if you do not need it.
  3. Do not lend your cell phone to strangers, although it seems obvious, it needs to be said. A spyware can be installed very quickly and silently.
  4. One of the easiest and most effective ways is to install anti-spyware applications, these will allow you to detect if the device has installed malicious software. You can also install an antivirus, some computers already come with anti-spyware installed.
  5. Only install applications that come from official stores.
  6. If you already have the suspicion that you are being spied on and you have not managed to eliminate the spyware, a preventive measure is to have the device in airplane mode which will cancel any type of connection to the outside.
  7. Avoid using public Wi-fi: These are an open door for an intruder to access your information. If you need to, here are ways to use a public network more securely.
  8. Check the permission you are giving to each application: Check what permission you give to each application, and if you really need access to the camera or microphone.
  9. If after you have performed all the previous actions you still have suspicions that you are being spied on, you can restore the phone to the factory state.
  10. If the situation is already delicate enough, it will be necessary to report the incident to the police.

Avoid spies of flesh and blood

Even when we apply all security measures to protect your mobile devices, there will always be “spies of flesh and blood”, those who like to take a look (without permission) and review the information in your cell phone. And for this type of spy there is no anti-spy app or sanction.

But if you can make their life more difficult in a very simple way, add and combine more complex authentication patterns, use the actions that are recorded in the device’s sensors as fingerprint or facial recognitions, among other things that hinder access from an intruder trying to spy on your device.

Finally, encrypt your files, keep them safe in applications such as HushApp, so you can access and view the contents on your cell phone. Your files will remain protected within your HushBox.
