Banks: Don't give account details via phone or e-mail 16th October 2006 (The Star)



PETALING JAYA: Bank customers, do not reveal your PIN (personal identification number), password or computer log on details to anyone seeking to get them by phone or e-mail.
And those who receive calls or e-mail on the pretext of urging them to update their details should advise their banks immediately.
This is one of the security tips outlined by the Association of Banks in Malaysia to ensure that customers' PIN or password are not compromised when using Internet banking in view of the recent "phishing" scam.
Its executive director Wong Suan Lye said in a statement that banks that offer Internet banking services would not request customers to reveal or verify their PIN or password for whatever reasons via e-mail, a hyperlink through the e-mail or by phone.
"Without PIN or password, the fraudster would not be able to access the customers' Internet banking accounts. If in doubt, contact your bank for verification," she said.
Wong was responding to a report on a group of 13 computer-savvy youths arrested recently for phishing.
Other tips include:

BEFORE doing online transactions, customers must ensure that they are using a legitimate website;
THEY should not put any sensitive information that might help provide access to their account, even if the website appears legitimate;

ALWAYS enter the URL of the website directly into the web browser to ensure that it begins with "http". They should also look for a closed padlock symbol on the status bar of their browser. Verification of the website Digital Certificate is also recommended; and

THEY should also always remember to log off when they have completed their transactions.

Kosmo 31/08/2011 : Peminat akaun lucah Facebook tidak waras

Jangan terpengaruh dengan akaun lucah di Facebook yang dicipta untuk merosakkan akhlak remaja. (GAMBAR HIASAN)





KUALA LUMPUR – Menjijikkan apabila ada golongan remaja masa kini ibarat gila seks apabila mereka dengan selamba mewujudkan beberapa akaun yang memuatkan gambar-gambar lucah membabitkan wanita tempatan atau warga asing menerusi laman sosial Facebook.
Tinjauan Kosmo! mendapati sekurang-kurangnya terdapat 15 akaun sedemikian telah diwujudkan dan telah menarik minat lebih 1,000 pelayar Internet yang rata-ratanya remaja untuk menjadi pengikut.
Kesan perbuatan itu bukan sahaja bakal melahirkan remaja yang rosak akhlak malah bakal menjadikan laman sosial yang popular pada masa kini medan untuk menyiarkan gambar-gambar yang mengaibkan.
Difahamkan, pengguna Internet yang ingin menjadi pengikut hanya perlu menekan butang like (suka) pada papan pemuka akaun tersebut sebelum diterima masuk oleh pereka laman seks tersebut.
Lebih memalukan, sebaik diterima masuk tanpa disedari segala aktiviti mereka berkaitan akaun itu akan dipaparkan di dinding Facebook masing-masing dan semua gambar-gambar tidak senonoh itu turut boleh dilihat oleh rakan-rakan lain.
Keadaan yang berlaku itu dilihat sangat membimbangkan kerana ia merupakan punca kepada keruntuhan moral dan akhlak generasi muda masa kini.
Lambakan laman-laman web yang wujud itu boleh mempengaruhi minda terutamanya golongan remaja yang semakin meminati laman sosial berkenaan pada masa kini.
