What Extra Security is Available For People Making Payments Online - Technology Org

As online transactions become an integral part of our daily lives, the need for robust security measures to protect sensitive financial information has never been more critical.

With the popularity of online payment platforms and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, individuals and businesses are adopting extra layers of security when making any payments. In fact, cybercrime is said to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually, highlighting the risk and threats that are out there. 

This article explores various advanced security measures designed to enhance online payment security and provide users with greater confidence in their digital financial transactions.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA

Two-Factor Authentication is a fundamental security feature that adds an extra layer of protection beyond the traditional username and password. 

“In addition to entering login credentials, users must provide a second form of verification, typically received through a mobile app, SMS, or email,” says Ben Sweiry, founder of payment site, Dime Alley. “By requiring two independent factors for authentication, 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, making it a widely adopted method to bolster online payment security.

Biometric Authentication

Biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, and iris scanning, offer a more secure and user-friendly way to verify identities. Many modern devices, including smartphones such as iPhones and tablets, now come equipped with biometric sensors that can be integrated into online payment processes. 

Biometrics provide a highly personalized and unique form of authentication, making it more challenging for malicious actors to gain unauthorized access.

Tokenization

Tokenization is a security technique that replaces sensitive payment information, such as credit card numbers, with unique tokens. These tokens are useless to cybercriminals even if intercepted, as they lack the original data’s value. This method reduces the risk of data breaches during online transactions, as the actual financial information remains secure behind the scenes.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption

SSL encryption is a standard security protocol that establishes a secure connection between the user’s browser and the website’s server. 

“SSL certificates encrypt the data transmitted during online transactions, preventing unauthorized parties from intercepting and deciphering sensitive information,” says Harry Adair, co-founder of TechVolutionary. “Websites with SSL certificates can be identified by the “https://” prefix in the URL, providing users with a visual cue of a secure connection.

Device Recognition and Profiling

Advanced security systems employ device recognition and profiling to identify and authenticate the devices used for online payments. By analyzing the unique characteristics of a device, such as its IP address, location, and hardware attributes, this technology can detect irregularities and potential threats. If a payment attempt originates from an unfamiliar or suspicious device, additional authentication measures may be triggered.

Behavioral Analytics

Behavioral analytics monitor user behavior during online transactions to establish a baseline of typical activities. 

Justine Gray, founder of finance startup Dollar Hand says, “We try to identify crime and cyber fraud in many ways, such as unusual spending patterns or login times. This can trigger alerts or additional verification steps and it helps identify and prevent fraudulent activities before they escalate.”

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, ensuring the security of online payments is paramount. The adoption of advanced security measures for mobiles, such as Two-Factor Authentication, biometric authentication, tokenization, SSL encryption, device recognition, behavioral analytics, and risk-based authentication, collectively works to create a robust defense against cyber threats. 

Empowering users with these extra layers of security not only safeguards their financial information but also instills trust in the online payment ecosystem. As technology progresses, ongoing innovations in online payment security will remain crucial to staying one step ahead of ever-evolving cyber threats.

AI Voice Scams - Don't Be Fooled, Your Trust is Their Playground!

Protect yourself from AI voice scams by staying vigilant and verifying sources. Let's fight back together! #AIVoiceScams #StaySafe

Your Voice, Their Weapon In today’s technologically advanced world, criminals are finding new ways to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals. One emerging threat is the rise of AI voice scams, where fraudsters employ artificial intelligence to mimic the voices of trusted individuals, aiming to trick victims into sharing personal information or parting with their hard-earned money.

Iván Duque, ex-Colombian president, posted the following:

🚨🚨Alert! This dangerous information is circulating.

"There are rumours that within the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela, they might be studying the possibility of declaring the elections as null, given that the data could have been corrupted due to the "cyber attack" that Maduro wants to use as a smokescreen."

Why is this a strategic and possible scenario for the dictatorship?

1. The TSJ (Supreme Court of Justice) ordered the CNE (National Electoral Council), among other things, to provide all the technical information that attests to the "cyber attack" of which the CNE claims to have been a victim of on Sunday, July 28, which is why it has not been able to provide the records.

2. The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, would suggest repeating the elections to help Maduro, and Mexico and Brazil are being sought to do the same.

Now, on what evidence would the TSJ base this decision?

The TSJ will claim that it consulted one or two companies specialized in cybersecurity and that, after analyzing all the technical information provided by the CNE about the “cyber attack”, it concludes that it did indeed occur, and that, as a consequence, a significant part of the data was corrupted. Obtaining a forensic cybersecurity technical report from a specialized company will not be difficult; there is no shortage of money, and money buys almost everything.

Since the data is considered corrupted, it does not reflect with certainty and veracity the people expressed will, which would administratively and legally justify that the bulletins issued by the CNE were based on information corrupted by the "cyber attack", releasing Mr. Amoroso and the CNE directors from legal responsibility, as there was no intention to favor one of the candidates, but rather its decision was based on unreal and corrupted figures.

They will say that cybersecurity specialists confirm this. Therefore, they will decree the following as mandatory:

1. Order the CNE to de-proclaim Maduro, which would reduce national and international pressure.

2. Order the CNE to hold a new presidential election in the first half of December 2024.

This will allow Chavismo to escape the corner they were backed into and reorganize its forces. They will have a period of four months to correct all their flaws, strengthen the system and ensure their victory in December.

3. Order the government to give the opposition the conditions and guarantees for the development of its electoral campaign.

4. Order the government to immediately release all the people who were detained as a result of the protests, which would provide social relief.

In short, with this decision, the TSJ plays the role of "good cop" and "wise", whose decision would immediately produce the following effects:

A. Freeze the situation, since there would be no reasons to protest.

B. Remove fraud bias, since the data used would have been altered by the cyberattack.

C. Please a sector of the “International Community”, guaranteeing a new electoral process and nullifying the current one.

D. Give the regime four months to strengthen itself and ensure its victory in December.

This plan must be prevented. Edmundo González is the president elected by the people, as evidenced by 82% of the records published by the brave electoral witnesses of the democratic resistance. This result shows an overwhelming victory. The verdict of the people must be respected. No more traps of the dictatorship! Free Venezuela!

Ultimately, it would only be necessary to compare the records with the ballot boxes. There is no justification for holding new elections.

[meret118]

"I told Lindell that his WMD alerts would be going off everywhere because many states use online connections for e-pollbooks — which are often i-Pads – to make sure only registered voters get a ballot," reported Rosenfeld, a senior writing fellow for the non-profit organization Voting Booth.

"In addition, almost every voting site has printers in case a voter needs a new ballot. In other words, his system would be flagging routine polling station operations as possible cyber-attacks."

"He didn’t care," Rosenfeld added.

Kremlin Ties

The Trickbot and Conti leaks have shaken up the ransomware industry. In June 2022, after attacking Costa Rica, members of the Conti ransomware group disbanded. And in February of this year, the UK and US governments sanctioned seven people for their alleged involvement with Trickbot.

One of those sanctioned was Vitaly Nikolayevich Kovalev who, confusingly, uses the online handles “Ben” as well as “Bentley.” Alongside the sanctions, the US unsealed a 2012 indictment accusing Kovalev of conducting bank fraud between 2009 and 2010. Multiple sources tell WIRED that Kovalev’s use of the Bentley handle isn’t connected to what they believe to be Galochkin’s use of the same moniker.

Though cybercrime groups like Trickbot aim to be efficient and professionalized, two individuals using the same handle, even years apart, illustrates the disorder and fluidity within these organizations. And as gangs in Russia’s cybercriminal world clash or disband to evade international law enforcement, new combinations of the same familiar faces often emerge under the banner of a new group.

Tracing the real identities and relationships of Trickbot members also underscores the gang’s prominence within Russia’s flourishing cybercrime scene. “We know that ransomware actors value their anonymity, so exposing their identities via sanctions designations affects their reputation and relationships within the cybercriminal ecosystem,” says Will Lyne, head of cyber intelligence at the UK’s National Crime Agency, the country’s equivalent to the FBI. Lyne says the sanctions against Trickbot members puts them under more scrutiny and blocks them from accessing UK, US, and global financial systems.

The FBI declined to comment on Trickleaks or recent Trickbot activity. A US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency official, who would only speak to WIRED on the condition of anonymity, says it has been alerting “international partners” about Trickbot malware since August 2021 and has sent out 55 alerts in the past year.

“Over the past 12 to 18 months, we have seen a shift in power within the cybercriminal ecosystem from the ransomware operators, who control the malware behind the schemes, and the affiliates,” Lyne says. “This has resulted in some affiliates working much more loosely with multiple ransomware variants simultaneously.”

Microsoft’s corporate vice president of customer security and trust, Tom Burt, wrote of Trickbot in October 2020 that “research suggests they serve both nation-states and criminal networks.”

Digital crime syndicates operate globally, and particular types of scams often evolve in different regions as a result of lax enforcement that criminals use to their advantage. In Russia, the Kremlin has broadly allowed ransomware actors and other cybercriminal groups to operate with impunity—as long as they don’t victimize Russian targets. As the global law enforcement community has scrambled to address high-profile ransomware attacks, the question of how deeply Russian cybercriminal groups are tied to their government has taken on increased significance.

In January 2022, amid a series of particularly ruthless attacks on US and UK targets, Russian law enforcement arrested more than a dozen alleged members of the ransomware gang REvil, though the suspects were reportedly only charged with credit card forgery. This enforcement action was an isolated event and seemed to further underscore that the Russian government has a vested interest in managing optics and ultimately protecting its criminal hackers.

Speaking about Russia’s war against Ukraine at the RSA security conference in San Francisco in April, US National Security Agency cybersecurity director Rob Joyce said that criminal and “hacktivist” attackers are a “natural resource” for the Kremlin. He added that Russian intelligence “is able to maintain relationships and use all the coercive power of the Russian government” and that such a relationship was “pretty disturbing.”

As the war in Ukraine drags on, Russia’s inability to break through has become both embarrassing and destabilizing for Putin’s regime. But researchers say that the more geopolitically isolated Russia becomes, the more likely it is that the relationship between cybercriminals and Russian intelligence services will endure and even deepen.

“The Russian criminal problem isn’t going anywhere. In fact, now it’s probably closer with the security services than it’s ever been,” says John Hultquist, Google Cloud’s chief analyst for Mandiant Intelligence. “They’re actually carrying out attacks and doing things that benefit the security services, so the security services have every interest in protecting them.”

Analysts have repeatedly concluded that cybercriminals working in Russia have connections to the Kremlin. And these connections have become increasingly clear. When the UK and US sanctioned Trickbot and Conti members in February, both countries said members were associated with “Russian intelligence services.” They added that it was “likely” some of their actions were directed by the Russian government and that the criminals choose at least some of their victims based on “targeting previously conducted by Russian intelligence services.”

Chat logs included in the Trickleaks data offer rare insight into the nature of these connections. In 2021, two alleged Trickbot members, Alla Witte and Vladimir Dunaev, appeared in US courts charged with cybercrime offenses. In November 2021, according to Nisos’ analysis, the Trickleaks chats show members were worried about their safety and panicked when their own cryptocurrency wallets were no longer accessible. But someone using the handle Silver—allegedly a senior Trickbot member—offered reassurance. While the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs was “against” them, they said, the intelligence agencies were “for us or neutral.” They added: “The boss has the right connections.”

The same month, the Manuel handle, which is linked to Galochkin, said he believed Trickbot leader Stern had been involved in cybercrime “since 2000,” according to the Nisos analysis. Another member, known as Angelo, responded that Stern was “the link between us and the ranks/head of department type at FSB.” The previous Conti leaks also indicated some links to Russia’s intelligence and security services.

That's why implementing a robust security system for real estate software is crucial for businesses in the USA. The importance of cybersecurity in real estate software and outline key features that ensure the protection of both property and sensitive data.

The Need for a Security System in Real Estate Software

Real estate businesses in the USA handle a vast amount of sensitive information, from personal client data to financial records. As technology advances, so do cyber threats. Hackers are constantly devising new ways to breach systems, steal information, and disrupt operations. A reliable security system for real estate software can safeguard businesses from these threats, ensuring the integrity of their data and operations.

Without a secure system, real estate businesses are vulnerable to:

Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive information can lead to identity theft, fraud, and significant legal repercussions.

Financial Loss: Cyberattacks can cause operational downtime, resulting in financial losses and a negative impact on business reputation.

Compliance Violations: Businesses that fail to protect client data may face fines and penalties for not complying with data protection regulations.

Key Features of a Robust Security System

A well-designed security system for real estate software should include several key components that ensure comprehensive protection. Below are some essential features to look for when evaluating the security of your real estate software.

1. Data Encryption

Data encryption ensures that any information stored or transmitted via the real estate software is unreadable to unauthorized users. Even if a hacker gains access to the data, it will be encrypted and thus useless without the correct decryption key. This layer of protection is vital for safeguarding client information, financial transactions, and internal communications.

2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through a second method, such as a text message code or biometric verification. Implementing 2FA in your security system for real estate software ensures that even if a hacker obtains a password, they cannot access the system without the secondary authentication factor.

3. Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Firewalls act as a barrier between your software and the outside world, blocking unauthorized access attempts.

Together, these technologies form a strong defense against external cyber threats.

4. Regular Software Updates

Outdated software is one of the most common ways hackers gain access to systems. A secure security system for real estate software must include regular updates and patches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the latest security protocols are in place. Real estate businesses should work with their software providers to ensure timely updates are implemented.

5. Access Controls and User Permissions

Limiting access to sensitive data is critical for ensuring security. A good security system for real estate software will allow administrators to set specific user permissions, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access certain areas of the system. This reduces the risk of internal data breaches and ensures that employees only have access to the information they need for their roles.

6. Data Backup and Recovery

Despite all preventative measures, cyberattacks or system failures can still occur. Having a reliable data backup and recovery solution is essential for minimizing the damage caused by such events. A strong security system for real estate software will include automatic backups and a clear recovery plan to restore data and ensure business continuity in case of an attack or system failure.

Compliance with US Data Protection Laws

Real estate businesses in the USA must adhere to stringent data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Non-compliance can result in significant fines and damage to a business’s reputation. A strong security system for real estate software ensures compliance by protecting personal data and providing the necessary tools to meet regulatory requirements.

For instance, encryption and secure access controls help businesses comply with laws that mandate the protection of personal information. Additionally, maintaining an up-to-date system with regular audits and vulnerability assessments ensures that your real estate software remains compliant with evolving data protection standards.

The Role of Cloud Security in Real Estate Software

Cloud-based security systems for real estate software offer enhanced flexibility and scalability for businesses, but they also introduce new security challenges. Cloud security measures, such as encrypted cloud storage, secure APIs, and regular security audits, are essential for protecting data stored and processed in the cloud. Furthermore, cloud providers must offer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee data protection and system uptime, ensuring that real estate businesses can operate securely in a cloud environment.

A robust security system for real estate software is essential for protecting both your property and data in today’s digital world. Real estate businesses in the USA must prioritize cybersecurity to avoid data breaches, financial loss, and compliance issues. By implementing features such as encryption, two-factor authentication, firewalls, and regular updates, businesses can significantly reduce their risk of cyberattacks.

Moreover, staying compliant with data protection regulations is crucial to avoid fines and maintain customer trust. With the right security measures in place, real estate businesses can focus on their core operations without worrying about cyber threats, ensuring long-term success in a competitive industry.

How Chime Keeps Your Money Safe and Secure

Chime has a multi-layered approach towards safety and security of one's money. Such commitment makes sure your personal and financial information remains safe. From advanced encryption down to real-time fraud alerts, Chime has a number of security measures whenever it involves securing your account.

There is first the use of robust encryption technology in Chime. It is important for encryption to protect your data from unauthorized access. That is to say, in case anybody intercepts your information, they will never be able to read it. Take, for example, an account being accessed through public Wi-Fi; it's the encryption by Chime that makes any chance of stolen login credentials or any other account details impossible. This is one degree of protection that will play a significant role in ensuring information considered sensitive remains out of the reach of cyber thieves.

Chime also offers real-time fraud alerts that will help you monitor any suspicious activity. In such cases, when there are odd transactions taking place, Chime immediately makes it known to you. Of course, the advantage to this feature would be the ability to act fast in case there were to be a potential security threat. For example, if your card was used in a location or for a purchase you never made, then Chime's alert system would instantly let you know such activities. With this, you can then review the transaction and report fraud immediately, without running the risk of continuing unauthorized transactions.

Another major security feature: the ability to lock your card directly from an app. Anytime you misplace your debit card or suspect it has been stolen, you can instantly lock it right from within the Chime application. The feature locks down any person from using your card for purchases until you unlock or report it lost. For many, this comes in very handy, especially when on a far-off journey, and during periods like these—with the crowded shopping season—losing a card is given major thought.

Another very significant factor contributing to the safety of your money is the fact that Chime partners with well-established banks. The money resting in Chime remains within accounts that are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This essentially means that account holders are covered to a tune of up to $250,000 should Chime go through some financial troubles. However, even then, your cash would still be protected from anything that may go wrong with Chime per se.

Lastly, Chime offers ease of customer support in regard to any security issues. That is, when one has an issue or question about his account security, he can always reach out to the company's support service. Their commitment to good customer service will have you solving any security concerns in an easy and timely manner. By implementing these broad-ranging security features, Chime aims to provide safe and reliable banking to all its customers.

Top Tips for Effective Theft Monitoring in the Digital Age

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, staying secure online is more important than ever. Businesses and individuals must secure their data and digital activities from rising cyber threats. This article will delve into four critical aspects of digital security: Email Whitelisting, the emerging threat of the Tesla Botnet, the importance of Theft Monitoring, and the growing concerns around Ad Fraud & Click Fraud. Understanding these concepts and using effective tactics helps protect your online presence and prevent costly security breaches.

The Importance of Email Allowlisting

A simple but effective email list ensures that critical emails enter your inbox without being sent to spam. In a world where phishing attempts and unsolicited emails are commonplace, it's easy for legitimate messages to get lost in the clutter.

How Email Whitelisting  Works

Email Allowlisting involves adding specific email addresses or domains to a "safe list." When an email from an allowed sender arrives, it bypasses the spam filter and lands directly in your inbox. This would benefit businesses that need fast, secure communication with clients, partners, and assistance providers.

Benefits of Email Whitelisting 

By using Email Whitelisting, you ensure that crucial communications are not missed. This can be vital for businesses that need to respond promptly to client inquiries or receive essential updates from service providers. Whitelisting also reduces phishing assaults by allowing only trusted emails into your inbox. It also improves the efficiency of your email management by filtering out irrelevant messages.

Understanding the Tesla Botnet

As cyber threats evolve, the Tesla Botnet has become a significant concern. Cybercriminals remotely control a botnet of infected machines without the owners' knowledge. The Tesla Botnet is one such network, and it has gained notoriety for its ability to carry out a range of malicious activities.

What is the Tesla Botnet?

Infected machines in the Tesla Botnet are used for DDoS assaults, data breaches, and Bitcoin mining. The botnet primarily targets IoT (Internet of Things) devices, exploiting vulnerabilities in these systems to gain control and carry out its operations.

How to Protect Against the Tesla Botnet

Multifaceted protection against the Tesla Botnet is needed. Ensure all devices, especially IoT ones, have the latest security patches and firmware. Use strong, unique passwords for each device and two-factor authentication whenever possible. Additionally, monitor your network for any unusual activity that could indicate a botnet infection, and consider using security software that can detect and neutralise such threats.

The Role of Theft Monitoring in Digital Security

As more personal and financial information is stored online, Theft Monitoring has become a critical component of digital security. Theft Monitoring involves actively tracking your data to detect unauthorised use, which can help prevent identity theft and financial fraud.

How Theft Monitoring Works

Theft monitoring services investigate the dark web for unlawful use of your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card information. If suspicious activity is detected, the service alerts you immediately, allowing you to take swift action to protect your identity and finances.

Why You Need Theft Monitoring

Theft Monitoring provides peace of mind by offering a proactive approach to identity protection. With the increasing number of data breaches and cyberattacks, having a system to monitor and protect your information is more critical than ever. Early identification via Theft Monitoring can avert financial loss and a lengthy identity restoration process.

Combating Ad Fraud & Click Fraud

In the digital marketing world, Ad Fraud and click Fraud pose serious challenges to businesses that rely on online advertising. Ad Fraud refers to the generation of fake impressions, clicks, or conversions, which leads to wasted ad spend and skewed performance metrics. Click fraud, which uses fake clicks to drain advertising budgets or mislead competition, also includes ad fraud.

The Impact of Ad Fraud & Click Fraud on Businesses

Ad Fraud & Click Fraud can have devastating effects on businesses. When companies pay for fraudulent clicks or impressions, they waste valuable resources that could have been used for genuine customer engagement. This not only distorts the effectiveness of ad campaigns but also inflates advertising costs. Moreover, the data from fraudulent activities can mislead marketing strategies, leading to poor business decisions.

Strategies to Prevent Ad Fraud & Click Fraud

To protect your business from Ad Fraud and click Fraud, it's essential to implement robust detection and prevention strategies. Utilise advanced analytics tools to identify abnormal patterns in ad interactions, such as sudden spikes in click rates or traffic from suspicious IP addresses. Partner with reputable ad networks with strict fraud detection protocols. Regularly audit your ad campaigns to ensure that the clicks and impressions you pay for are genuine. You may avoid these frauds by being cautious and using the correct tools.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the digital landscape presents numerous challenges, from managing email security through Email Whitelisting to protecting against sophisticated threats like the Tesla Botnet. Theft Monitoring plays a crucial role in safeguarding personal information, while businesses must remain vigilant against Ad Fraud and click Fraud to protect their advertising investments. Understanding these dangers and executing effective measures can improve your digital security and keep your online presence safe.

Core Banking Software: Enhancing Security and Compliance in the Financial Sector

In the financial sector, security and compliance are paramount, and modern core banking software plays a crucial role in meeting these demands. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, financial institutions must ensure that their core banking systems are equipped with the latest security features to protect sensitive customer data and maintain trust.

Advanced encryption technologies are a key feature of modern core banking software, safeguarding data at rest and in transit. This ensures that even if data is intercepted, it remains inaccessible to unauthorized parties. Additionally, many systems incorporate multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access.

Compliance with regulatory standards is another critical area where core banking software excels. These systems are designed to automatically enforce policies and procedures in line with regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and AML laws. Automated compliance checks and audit trails help institutions avoid costly fines and reputational damage by ensuring that all activities are thoroughly documented and monitored.

Furthermore, modern core banking software often includes real-time monitoring and alerting systems, which detect and respond to suspicious activities immediately. This proactive approach not only helps prevent fraud but also enhances the institution’s ability to comply with ever-evolving regulatory requirements.

By integrating these advanced security measures and compliance tools, core banking software enables financial institutions to protect their assets, maintain regulatory compliance, and ultimately, safeguard the trust of their customers.
