OK so we need free alternative software which have these capability: read pdf, add comments, annotations, or stamps; split or merge pdf, add security, and print everything into pdf.

Hati-hati Web Phising: www.summer-picz.com. Berbahaya!!

March 5th, 2009 2 comments

Bagi yang belum tau tentang phising bisa lihat deskripsi lengkapnya di Wikipedia (english) (bahasa Indonesia). Intinya adalah penipuan yang dilakukan oleh pengelola web untuk mendapatkan informasi, biasanya username dan password, dari pengunjung web tersebut.
Mungkin modus yang biasa ketahui biasanya sebuah web tersebut mempunyai url yang mirip dg suatu web yang biasa dikunjungi, misal web clickbca.com yang seharusnya web resmi BCA adalah kilkbca.com.
Namun modus yang dilakukan pengelola web www.summer-picz.com berbeda. Web ini menampilkan sebuah kotak login yang mengajak pengunjungnya untuk mengisi user name dan password, bisa Yahoo! atau MSN atau Google. Penipuannya dilakukan dengan mengirimkan pesan lewat Internet Messenger seperti Yahoo!, MSN, atau GTalk. Jadi bila seseorang telah tertipu untuk mengisi informasi loginnya, si “penjahat” ini akan mencuri informasi loginnya lalu menyebarkan link web ini ke teman-temannya korban lewat pesan di messenger. Sehingga teman-teman si korban tidak menyadari bahwa si pengirim bukanlah temannya.
Jadi berhati-hatilah kejahatan Internet (Cybercrime) sudah semakin pintar saja, tidak hanya mengandalkan teknologi semata tetapi dengan teknik yang bernama Social Engineering
Saya cerita begini karena banyak temen-temen yang sudah tertipu padahal lulusan IT (doh).
