Privacy and security

hi,
I have recently have a skype request from someone who looked like my friend. Her picture, her name, her information... they tried to call me last night and I had a conversation via messaging.. however they did not speak like, my friend whom I know quite well. 
They tried to video call me and said their camera wasn't working which is also strange. When I looked I saw two profiles for my friend so I contacted the other profile, who is actually my friend. 
Someone has taken her picture, name and information and is pretending to be her. Contacting me and who knows who else. 
What can we do about this? 
Thank you

what does phone number mean?is skype safe from 3rd party attempts to monitor or see your IMs and calls?

I'm contacting you from Baclay bank in Dubai regarding to one Mr.Weimin Eric whose money was deposited in my bank presently in Dubai in 2004 and by then i was district assitant director but now elected as the new branch bank manager.why am contacting you is because Mr.Weimin Eric died due to an aircrash incident in 2006 and the amount he deposited was about $26,700,000.00 million deposited in my bank so am contacting you because you bear thesame surname with him and i want us to work together as a partner to clam his fund in our own favour and since you're bearing the same usrname with the late depositor If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 50% of the funds while 50% shall be for me. Kindly forward your response to me immediately through email below:
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I get the same from him. Dear xxxxxxxxIt’s my urgent need For a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am Andrew Mortimer working with Barclays Bank here in Dubai(U.A.E) I write to contact you over a very important business transaction which will be of our interest and benefit to our both families.In 2007,one Mr. Weimin xxxxxxxx whose surname is same as yours and has your country in his file as his place of origin, made a fixed deposit for 36 months, valued at $26,700,000.00 with my bank. I was his account officer before I rose to the position of Managing Director. The maturity date for this deposit contract was 27th of September 2010.Sadly, Mr.Weimin was among the death victims in the September 2009 earthquake in Indonesia that left over 1,200 people dead while he was there on business trip.Since the last quarter of 2010 until today, the management of my bank have been finding means to reach him so as ascertain if he will roll over the Deposit or have the contract sum withdrawn. When I discovered that this will happen, I have tried to think up a procedure to preserve this fund and use the proceeds for business.Some directors here have been trying to find out from me the information about this account and the owner, but I have kept it closed because, I know that if they become aware that Mr Weimin is late, they will corner the funds for themselves. Therefore, am seeking your co-operation to present you as the one to benefit from his fund at his death since you have the same name, so that my bank head quarters will pay the funds to you. I have done enough inside bank arrangement and you only have to put in your details into the information network in the bank computers and reflect you as his next of kin.If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 50% of the funds while 50% shall be for me.

  • Caution: Apple Store POS system has a privacy and security leak

    I made a small purchase in the Burlingame, CA Apple store the other day, receiving my receipt by email. No problem. 10 minutes later, I received another receipt. This time for someone else's transaction. The name, address, etc. of that customer included. There is a leak of information from one transaction to others, and no guarantee how much or how little information leaks.
    I went back to the store and asked how this could occur. I was told that what happened is impossible. But it's not. I completed the customer satisfaction survey associated with the transaction. Normally, if you indicate dissatisfaction, the store manager gives a prompt phone call. No phone call. I sent email to the store. No response.
    The software used in the point of sale system is not secure. You should avoid making purchases in store. Make them on-line to be picked up or shipped to you, but if you make a purchase at one of the roaming sales people, your privacy is at risk.

    I have an email receipt which has name format of
    emailreceipt_yyyymmddR<TransactionId>.pdf
    The Transaction ID is the bar code printed on the receipt in case it needs to be scanned for returns, etc.
    For the case where the email address was not yours, can you check that the name of the file and the transaction id on the receipt match?
    The email comes from <storename>@apple.com.

  • Forgot my privacy and security questions

    Not completely sure as to how I am supposed to be able to change my answers. I made them years ago and cant seem to remember either of them, there are so many possible answers. Help!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • What is the best tips for privacy and security

    How can you secure your email and phone messages

    And don't forget the passcode or you will be erasing the phone if you forget it. Use a complex passcode rather than the simple four digit PIN. These can be cracked in no time should you lose your phone.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

    Can you start Firefox in Safe Mode?
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • Questions on privacy and safari, browser history; top sites; private browsi

    In one thread someone suggested that those concerned about the privacy of their web browsing and its history try Private Browsing. What are the consequences of Private Browsing? Does Private Browsing interfere with some of the web page features or javascript from working when I'm trying to access a page that has java or Flash? Will my bank's website load ok etc? I guess I was a little worried it would stop the showing of the last page visited and if so then hopefully that won't stop some sites from functioning.
    Is Private Browsing the best way to go all around for those concerned about privacy loss in Safari or does it not really help much? I wonder why it isn't the default.
    I want to be able to use my browser to access sites that don't load well when I use Firefox with NoScript, such as bank sites, but I do not want my browsing history to stay in view constantly, and I'm also upset at seeing it want to "learn" my browsing habits and try to suggest sites for me without my setting it to do this.
    For this reason I will be setting Firefox or any other browser I feel is more private than Safari, possibly Camino, to be my default browser. I will probably only be using Safari when a site won't work without it, same as when I used to settle for Internet Explorer on my windows computer when Firefox didn't work.
    I'm also concerned that I can't get that Google search bar out of my browser. I don't want Google keeping tabs of every site I visit. I'm not sure if Google has access to tracking every place I go if I never put any text into the Google search bar or how far into bed with Google Apple has now gone but I'm afraid of the privacy invasion possibilities.
    Perhaps Google gets no info if I do not type anything into the google search bar. I wish I could drag it off the menu bar however. (If I want to go to google, I know how to type google.com for crying out loud).
    I hope Apple will hold the line on its partners re: privacy in products like iPhone and Safari that work with its partners regardless of their tendencies to disrespect privacy.
    Does anyone know if the fact that this Safari software wants to learn what my favorite sites are affects outside parties including Apple, Google, and/or others possibly getting access to info on my browsing habits?
    If i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
    Does hitting RESET clear things out in this regard? I'd like to use these tools if I could be sure that using Safari doesn't turn the computer into a spyware tool for outside entities, commercial interests and governmental interests to mine data from.

    Hello r:
    If you think Safari, Firefox, or anything else will mask your browsing habits from someone who really wants to know, you are not being realistic.
    I tend to discount justifications of privacy encroachments I sometimes encounter to the effect of "snooping is done by certain commercial and governmental parties as the way things 'just are', so shut up and don't worry". Customers who do not air their concerns and questions cannot have any expectation that the developer will be aware of their concern if they sit mute.
    I sometimes pay for additional software to protect my privacy. I also use Firefox with Noscript and adblocking third party software rather than just sit with what the big corporations leave me with; there is a third party program for Safari I tried called PithHelmet for example, but then it seemed to not be loaded with the new Safari update and its developer dud not provide me any communication (although I got help here on how to find the program so I could remove it); so I may not use Safari as much compared to whatever browser I find has better privacy and security measures.
    If you go to the Safari help menu and enter +"private browsing,"+ you will find a complete description of what that function does for you. In answer to one of your questions, it is not a default because one loses a good deal of functionality. I would be most perturbed if that was made the default.
    Ok, I will try to learn the functionalities lost, thanks.
    You can set the history to be deleted after one day (or longer). If you are concerned, it is quite easy to clear history before you sign off.<</div>
    I've been using RESET to clear my history in the past; I assume it still works although Reset doesn't seem to permanently make certain cookies with future expiration dates go away permanently, which I find come back later even without my visiting a site for weeks and this was happening in the previous version of Safari too.
    You can remove the Google search box (or anything else) from the menu bar. Right click on it. One option is +"remove item."+
    That doesn't work in terms of just removing the Google search bar at the top right, I see.
    I did not want to lose my blank for typing a URL; I only want the thing out to the right that says Google on it, which seems to use Google's search engine to go away. I certainly hope that every time I type a URL into the blank at the left top (which is not the part over to the top right that says Google and a magnifying glass) that I'm not having Google track my URLs I visit like they would if I put a search term into the blank at the top right, but maybe it does since the two are forcibly linked.
    I guess I'd have to try Command L - Open Location in the Find menu if I want to try to go to a URL without using the URL blank at the top left I normally type in. I would only want to go to that trouble if typing in the top left blank for URLs results in Google tracking my URL visits like they certainly would if I typed in the top right google tool bar and hopefully Open Location does not result in the same issue.
    if i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
    I seriously doubt that Apple (or anyone else) is "reporting" anything about you to anyone. As you are no doubt aware, most web sites store cookies on your system when you visit that site. The information stored varies, but you can, of course, block cookies if you wish.
    I have the ability to block cookies, and I use Noscript a lot too with Firefox (although that set up does not always work with a few webpages here and there, so sometimes I have to use Safari or Camino). I use Safari less and less because there is no Noscript type of third party software for it. The only time I feel I have no choice but to use Safari on my Mac is when I go to my Mobileme account.
    My concern is of Top Sites "learning" my favorite sites and displaying to me the names of a lot of suggested URLs, as to who else is receiving that data; hopefully no one. Maybe I'll get to where i find info explaining that Apple and Google aren't collecting data about my "top sites" if I use that feature.
    It's just that there has been an increasing amount of privacy intrusion in the commercial realm combined with a corporate arrogance in terms treating consumers as though there is no need to make any assurances or explanations to consumers to help them trust the privacy. Instead we get browbeaten by various parties about how stupid or obvious we are if we ask a question to remind the corporation it's an issue to those of us who want to feel comfortable with the privacy of the software we use.
    I'll try to use the Feedback form to ask as well.
    At the risk of stating the obvious, it is quite easy to find out all sorts of information about an individual if one is interested. If you are really concerned, I suggest you severely limit your use of the Internet.
    I may well limit my use of the internet if what you say is true that there is no way to do any reading on the internet without being spied on by commercial and governmental interests.
    thanks

  • How to fix privacy and extensions tab that are blank (using Safari 5.1.7)

    I have looked at the help provided in this forum for fixing the privacy and extension tabs that happen to now be blank.  However, being new to a mac, I was not able to follow those instructions.  If anyone can give me some help/guidance, I would really appreciate it.  Also, what exactly does the privacy tab do?  If it has been blank for a while and I have been to websites and used my credit card information was it secure?  Thanks so much in advance for any/all help.  TAD

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • WS-Privacy and WS-Trust

    hi
    can anyone tell me what are the different implementations of WS-Privacy and WS-Trust security standards. I searched and found that Sun is providing a set of implementations which overshadows the same provided by Microsoft for .Net. Where can i find those implementations?? help required.
    thanks

    Do you mean run VSS between your 4507R and the new 4507R+E ? If so then no you can't do this as the orginal chassis plus the supervisor II+ does not support VSS. See this link for hardware requirements needed for VSS  -

  • Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

    Updated safari and security update last night.
    Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
    After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
    Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
    Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
    Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
    Thank you

    Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
    The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

  • Bursting with translation and security attributes?

    Hi folks,
    I've been lurking on the forum for a while and despite not always finding a solution, existing threads normally pointed me in the right direction - so thanks :)
    I'm working on EBS 11.5.10 with the latest Bi-Publisher 5.6.3 (5472959) and bursting (5968876) patches installed.
    I have successfully done the following individual AR Invoice Bi-Publisher tasks:
    1. translated an invoice RTF template by attaching an xliff file to the data definition,
    2. applied security attributes to the template to restrict updates on the resulting PDF,
    3. burst a custom AR invoice print and emailed the resultant pdf's.
    The PDF generated by the combined Invoice print correctly applies the translation and security attributes; however when I run the "XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" to the XML file the resultant burst PDF's do not apply the translation or security attributes. I assume this a limitation of bursting control files? If so, is this on the list of future enhancements to Bi-Publisher?
    Here's an example of my control file document entry, I have included locale and pdf-security entries - these don't cause an error but equally don't generate the desired result (p.s. I know I'm emailing on a PRI filter - it's just a test):
    <xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="att_email">
    <xapi:template type="rtf"
    location="/usr/tmp/xxxINVOICE3.rtf"
    locale="fr-US"
    pdf-security="true" pdf-encryption-level="1" pdf-permissions-password="xxxxxx"
    filter=".//G_INVOICE_HEADER[PRINTING_OPTION='PRI']" >
    </xapi:template>
    </xapi:document>
    Thanks
    Dave

    =================
    ==Properties Idea's
    =================
    You would have happened to try applying the security stuff in the application for your template? Try that and see if the pdf properties get set.
    If that doesn't work your left with two options:
    1. create a java concurrent program and set the properties manually.
    2. Log a tar.
    =================
    ==local idea's
    =================
    Are you sure you don't have to create template config for the locale? i suspect that's why it's not applying the xliff translation. Also, your NLS_LANG needs to be set to FRENCH for the approriate template to be applied. If your logged-in as english your french format template will not be applied, neither will the translation. As an example you can query vl table and you'll only get american (us) but if you alter your session you'll get the translation for that language when your query the table.
    location="xdo://xxxAR.xxx_XML_PRINT.fr.US"
    try it out and see if that works. Note: This will only work if your session NLS_LANG is set to FRENCH.
