Beware of “Your AOL Mail Update” Phishing Scam !

The old “update your account” scheme is probably still successful, which is most likely why cybercriminals keep coming up with new variants for it. The latest such spam wave targets AOL users.

The message is simple (via millersmiles.co.uk):

DEAR AOL USER

You have to follow the link below to update and verify your E-mail account
to enable continuous access of your E-mail http://webmail.aol.com/verify

Regards,
AOL ONLINE TEAM.

As you might guess, the link doesn’t point to the legitimate AOL login page, but to a replica hosted on a site registered for free in the Czech Republic.

Many of the buttons and the links of the phony website lead to aol.com, but the Sign In button doesn’t compare the credentials against the ones stored in AOL’s servers. Instead, it sends them back to the cybercriminals that run the scheme.

The legitimate links aren’t the only ones that make the plot genuine-looking. The malicious webpage also contains an iframe that displays part of the mail.aol.com page.

There’s a very good reason for which the phishers have deployed this technique. The AOL login page changes, depending on important events that take place.

By embedding part of this page into their scheme, the crooks have a higher chance of making someone believe that they’re on the right domain.

In such cases, there’s a simple way to check if you actually are on the correct website: check the URL displayed in your browser’s address bar.

The legitimate URL starts with “https” (which means that it’s a secure connection) and it ends in “aol.com.”

On 99% of phishing sites, the secure connection is missing and aol.com is not the actual domain, but a subdomain, or possibly the name of a file or a folder.

How to Improve Your Wireless Network Performance

 

Using wireless routers has become the norm. With all of today’s devices connected people often complain about a poor signal or bad performance. There are many things you can do to improve the performance of your router. We will start with the free, easy tips that anyone can do and work our way into more advanced solutions that cost money.

Wired Versus Wireless
I rarely see anybody mention this because it isn’t really a wireless tip but you would be amazed at the people who never even consider this and think that wireless is as fast and reliable as wired. If that were the case I would not be spending hours writing this article. Two of my computers and my main television are plugged into the router by Ethernet cables for good reason. I don’t have to worry about wireless quality while working and I get the best pings while gaming.

Like many of you we have plenty of wireless devices so why clog your wireless network any more than you have to? Someone asked on our forums once about poor gaming speed and admitted to having 11 devices connecting to the wireless. Today’s broadband is faster than ever but I think people expect miracles from their Wi-Fi networks. Another hotly debated topic is how many devices are too many? I have even heard some ISP’s only work best up to a certain number of devices. True or false really does not matter; the more connected devices, the less bandwidth you have. Period. I recently had a friend try to solve a wireless issue at a customer’s home. The router was on the complete opposite end of this condominium from where the problem was and they were having trouble streaming NetFlix to a television at least 50 feet away. He explained all their options including using an Ethernet cable for the best performance but was told by the customer that the wireless signal was fine. Be open to suggestions.

The bottom line is that your wireless will work great from a couple feet away and the farther you go, the worse the performance will be. Make sure you are getting the performance you are paying for by using a computer connected by an Ethernet cable and doing a speed test at SpeedTest.Net. Everyone offers some sort of super-fast broadband but most give you what you pay for. Opinions vary but in my experience anything beyond 30 feet or so is too far for maximum performance.

Location, location, location
This should be obvious but there are some factors to consider. You want your router centrally located in your home. If you have a device that uses the router more than most then you can consider placing your router closest to that device. Do not rule out strange locations like an upper shelf on the first floor. You could even place your router in a closet if that’s the best location.

Metal objects can kill your signal. If you ever took a device to the other side of a metal door you would see how much the signal quality fades. If your home has metal beams, consider this when placing the router. Walk or visualize the path that the signal has to take to get to your most important devices.

Update your firmware and network adapter drivers 
Driver updates are usually the first place to go. New drivers often contain fixes for known issues (like you might be having), performance increases and more. On average most manufacturers update every few months. If your computer is 3 years old and you have not updated your drivers then you could have missed up to 16 driver updates already. Brand name computer manufacturers typically only offer the latest drivers for a year so you want to make sure you download them directly from the manufacturer of your wireless card.

I am not a big fan of updating your firmware. Updating the firmware uses a software download to change your hardware. You really need to know what you are doing, especially how to reset your router should the update fail. In the section below we discuss how to log into your router. This is where you will find the options to check for firmware. If it sounds like I am trying to scare you away from doing a firmware update, I am, save it for when all else fails.

Change your wireless channel
This is a great tip especially if you are picking up a lot of other wireless signals. Most modern routers can automatically select the best channel but you can tweak this to force it on a channel that works best for you. In today’s home you can be on the same channel as your cordless phone, microwave, garage door opener and many, many more. A lot of routers go out with the default channel 6 so changing your channel can be great just to get on a different channel than your neighbors.

If you read up on the best channel to choose it is a hot debate because everyone’s situation is different. Why sit at your computer for hours and guess the best channel when you can use inSSIDer to see what channel is best? Download inSSIDer, install and scan. Set your channel as far away as possible from busy channels.

You will need to log in to your router to do this. Please check for your documentation or download it from your router manufacturer. Most routers ship with a basic or no password so consider setting up a new password once you login. Cisco has a nice tutorial that should work for many LinkSys routers and this is very similar to how any router login will work. Step 1 of that tutorial also includes a link on how to login to your router. Again, all routers are a little different but you will find that your router will be very similar to these instructions.

In addition, modern wireless N routers to come with a 5 GHz frequency and a 2.4 GHz frequency. It is advantageous to name each channel distinctly different names. (On a Cisco router log in, click Wireless> Wireless settings> Manual) for 2 reasons:

1: It is possible that you have a cordless phone system in your house running at 2.4 GHz, this can cause interference and hence you should switch to the 5 GHz frequency.
2: Although 5 GHz can send more data; it does not perform well though solid objects hence, the range of the 2.4 GHz is by far greater and some can be a better choice. Having different names will help you easily choose when you need / want to switch.

Optimize your internet connection
The latest Windows operating systems finally handle the internet well but not perfect. We have used SpeedGuide.net TCP Optimizer for as long as we can remember. Different factors may have changed your settings and you can use this program to set Windows back to default or optimal settings with a single click. Just be sure you select your wireless adapter from the drop down box. If you have an Ethernet connection (most of us do) it will typically select that adapter by default.

Try a high-gain antenna ($)
Many popular routers have high gain antennas available. They can extend the signal strength as well as allow you to point the antenna in the direction you want. This is a cheap, simple fix worth trying if you do not want to go with a repeater. Search Google for your router brand, model and follow that up with “high gain antenna”. You can also replace your card with a wireless card that includes a high gain antenna.

Replace your wireless card ($)
As mentioned you can purchase a new card with a high gain antenna or just purchase a card that supports the latest technology. All the cards I have seen are backward compatible so even if you can’t use the latest mode you will be ready for the future. See below for a bit more on this.

Use a router and network card from the same manufacturer ($$$)
In a perfect world you can use any router and wireless card but it’s not a perfect world. You might have purchased a router from LinkSys featuring proprietary technology with cool names like “dual band”, “SpeedBoost” and so on. If your wireless card is from a different manufacturer then it will not support these features rendering them useless. Getting better speed might be as simple as using a router and wireless card from the same manufacturer.

Add a wireless repeater ($$)
I saved this for last because I don’t see the point in adding another device unless you have to. If you have a long range to cover then this IS the solution for you. As I mentioned early in this article, most routers brag about going 100 feet when in reality that signal fades and fades fast by the time you get to about 30 feet. Hey, they tell me my car can do 175 MPH but you try it. Simply place the repeater between the router and the devices with a poor signal and you are good to go.

If you happen to have 2 wireless routers handy, you can cable the two together to extend the range as described in our forums, but if not a wireless repeater can be much simpler to set up.

Windows 8 RTM Language Packs Leaked to Web

 

So far there have been a huge number of Windows 8 RTM-related leaks before everything hits official channels next week. First we saw Windows 8 Enterprise N leaked, then four more RTM ISOs and then methods to activate the leaked copies started appearing. Now we are seeing a number of language packs leaked for the Windows 8 RTM, both standard (client) and server editions, in ISO form.

Over at WinUnleaked a user has mentioned that two separate language pack ISOs have leaked, and also left us with a screenshot of what is inside said ISOs. After some digging we found the packs were leaked by PCBeta.

Firefox OS Has a Big Chance of Challenging Android and iOS

Firefox OS is very fast becoming a reality. What seemed like an offshoot experimental project last year is now on its way to debuting on phones, supported by carriers and phone makers, in half a year's time.

Mobile operating systems are a dime a dozen these days. What's more, traditional players haven't been able to mount much of a fight against the big two, Android and iOS.

Microsoft, in a situation similar to its search engine, is pouring billions into Windows Phone for just a few percentage points market share. Blackberry is on its way out, WebOS is dead and so on and so forth.

Mozilla doesn't have the resources or the experience of neither Microsoft, nor RIM, nor Palm, nor Nokia, nor Samsung. But maybe that's a good thing.

And Firefox OS may be different enough to succeed. The one big thing that differentiates Firefox OS from everything out there is the reliance on standard or at least open web technologies.

This is a philosophical choice first and foremost, Mozilla is all about the open web. But it's a highly practical one for a very simple reason. There are already millions of developers capable of creating applications to run on Firefox OS.

What's more, there are already countless apps that will run on Firefox apps and will feel like "native" apps with only some small tweaks.

That's because Firefox OS relies on HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript entirely. The entire OS is essentially the Firefox core on top of which web apps run. The UI itself is a HTML5 app. The caller, the messaging app, the calendar, all of the built-in apps are HTML5 apps.

What's more, Mozilla is only using APIs, which it's developing as part of the Web API suite, that will be easily implemented into any browser. Meaning that any app that runs on Firefox OS will run on any browser, desktop or mobile, that implements Web API.

Nobody expects Firefox OS to be an overnight success. But the combination of easy development, huge flexibility and cheap hardware means that it has a very big chance of becoming very popular in developing countries, in Africa, in parts of Asia, in China, in India, in Brazil.

These are regions with billions of people, with billions of phone owners. All of which will eventually switch to a smartphone. And their first smartphone will very likely be a cheap one, the cheapest perhaps. And if their first smartphone is a Firefox OS-powered one it's going to be hard to get them to switch.

Google is not sitting still and Android devices are cheaper and cheaper. But Mozilla has a big chance. And if it puts all of its resources into it, as it seems it's doing, Firefox OS may very well become the third big player in the mobile market.

BitTorrent Site Demonoid Shut Down !

Another bad news that Ukrainian authorities have taken down Demonoid.com, one of the world's largest torrent file-sharing sites. Investigators from the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs raided the data centre that was hosting the website's servers.

Torrents allow users to download music, video and other internet content by downloading small bits of files from others' computers at the same time.

The shutdown is the latest news in a campaign against file-sharing sites.

It follows the US's closure of Megaupload, and several European ISPs (internet service providers) being ordered to block access to The Pirate Bay.

Demonoid was listed alongside both of these sites in The Notorious Markets List - a document drawn up by the US government at the end of last year highlighting services that "merit further investigation for possible intellectual property rights infringements".

It noted that Demonoid "recently ranked among the top 600 websites in global traffic and the top 300 in US traffic".

Back online?

Users first became aware of the action on 26 July, when attempts to access Demonoid's site yielded a "server busy" message.

The Torrentfreak news site reported that Ukraine's Division of Economic Crimes acted after receiving a request from the international police organisation Interpol.

It said the local authorities then contacted Demonoid's ISP, Colocall, which decided to pull its service, and allowed investigators to copy data off its servers.

"Demonoid is known for its links to relatively rare content which may be harder to come by now," Torrentfreak's editor Ernesto Van Der Sar told the BBC.

"However, it's not going to stop the majority of people from sharing files as the most popular items are available though hundreds of other BitTorrent sites."

The action follows the arrest of one of Demonoid's administrators in Mexico last October. But despite the setbacks Mr Van Der Sar suggested it was too soon to consign the site to history.

"In 2006 The Pirate Bay came back online three days after it was raided, and in the years that followed it grew out to become the largest BitTorrent site," he said.

The BPI, which represents the UK music industry, and the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) - which have both campaigned against online copyright infringement - declined to comment when approached by the BBC.

3D Camera 1.534 For Android

Description

Create 3D pictures yourself.

- 3D Camera is cutting-edge, and very different from any other app available on the Market. It has NO equivalent on the iPhone.

- 3D Camera does not require 3D or red-blue glasses, or a 3D-capable phone. Any phone with Android >= 2.1 can run it.

- 3D Camera uses experimental, research-grade algorithms to generate an OpenGL rendering of a 3D scene computed from your own pictures.

- You can navigate freely in the scene: move in all directions and zoom in/out. The accelerometer is also supported.

- Your 3D scenes can be shared online. They be seen in 3D on a normal computer screen! 3D Camera allows to post directly on Facebook / Twitter / Google+

Here is a sample scene created with 3D Camera: http://goo.gl/6GBfL

QUICK MANUAL: 

- There are two ways to create a 3D scene, you can select them in the main menu of the app: manual (1 picture) or server-assisted (2 pictures).

* The server-assisted method uploads your pictures to a server to determine the depth of the scene automatically.

* The manual method let you specify the depth of each object.

Which one should you choose?

* From our experience, the manual method gives the best results. But if you are a fan of cutting-edge technology, give the server-assisted method a try!

HOW TO GET BETTER RESULTS USING THE SERVER-ASSISTED METHOD: 

* Keep in mind that the server-assisted method is experimental. It may fail to find the correct depth of some areas in your image.

* Anyway, you will be given the opportunity to manually correct the depth later. It's the "Correct depth" option when long-pressing an item in the main menu.

* Before taking pictures, read the 3D Camera guide first: inside the main menu, press your phone menu button, then "Tutorial". In short, the server-assisted method works best with two very close pictures of an inanimate object, which is far away from a still background.

* If you photograph a person, make sure she/he really doesn't move.

* When translated to the right, the camera should see exactly the same view of the object as in the left picture. A translation means that you should not make a circular motion around you or around the object.

* The distance between the camera and the foreground matters. It should be at least 1 meter (3 feet).

* Uniform areas (e.g., white walls) may yield an incorrect server-assisted depth.

FAQ

Q: The 3D effect is very wrong in the scene I have created.

A: Please use the "Correct depth" menu (long press on the scene in the main menu), it does wonders.

Q: It says the application is always offline, or it told me to update. Why can't my old version work online?

A: 3D Camera needs a server to generate 3D scenes. We're continuously changing the server to improve 3D Camera. Older versions won't be compatible. Also, if you live in China, it's likely that our Google server is blocked.

Q: When I create my project, it fails with the "repair me" logo, or it keeps saying "server is busy".

A: The 3D Camera server may be under maintenance. We typically fix it quickly. Meanwhile, you can still use the manual depth method (by taking just 1 picture), or edit the depth yourself then click on

Q: Why does 3D Camera upload to a server anyway?

A: Creating the scene would take too long on a phone. We're merely speeding things up by 10x by providing you this free server. Note that you don't need to use this feature: the manual method works entirely offline.

Q: Some antivirus programs report that 3D Camera ads (from LeadBolt) may steal personal information.

A: 3D Camera only displays HTML ads, i.e. web pages. This type of advertisement cannot read any information stored in your phone. Hence, in 3D Camera, your personal information cannot be accessed by LeadBolt or any other ad provider.

Q: The app made me a fine scene! I have no question whatsoever!

A: We would love to hear positive feedback from time to time :) Write us atr120player@gmail.com or twitter: http://twitter.com/3DCameraAndroid
