What are the new methods of cyber fraud in the world of finance?

Image
By
Today India's largest public sector bank has published some guidelines for internet frauds  and it is worth to share for our visitors too:

""Cyber-crimes are rampant In the financial world today. The digital mode of banking is used by people in every nook and corner of our country. While technology has empowered us significantly, it also reminds us of the old adage– “With great power come great responsibilities.”

Search Engine (e.g. Google) – a new tool for fraudsters

One of the key tools for the fraudsters these days is the “Search Engine.” This utility has become an essential part of our lives. Many of us do not think twice before reposing our total faith on the information provided by these search engines. Google allows users to edit contact details of any establishment such as Banks on Google map and Google search to make their services more useful for users. However, this facility is misused by cyber fraudsters. They change the contact details and related information on Google to accomplish their evil designs. Let’s elaborate the steps of such a fraud which is executed by using search engines.

· A user searches for a branch contact details or information on Google.

· The search engine displays few details along with the mobile number of branch manager or contact details of the branch which have been actually planted by the fraudsters exploiting the algorithm of the search engine.

· The user trusts the mobile number and calls the same for help.

· The fraudster uses the trust factor of the customer and using his skills gains the confidence of the customer to extract all details like debit card number, CVV. In case of UPI frauds, the fraudster manages to get downloaded UPI in the customers mobile. Ask money/request money feature of UPI is rampantly used for siphoning off the money. There are many other modes of UPI as well which will be shared for awareness in the meantime through this space. Primarily, the fraud happens due to sharing of VPA, UPI Pin, or giving access to mobile phone through screen sharing apps in case of UPI.

· Based on the interaction with the customer, mode of fraud (UPI or Debit card) is selected by the fraudster to defraud the customer.

Learning Points

ü Never rely on the results related to bank on any search engine.

ü Always check the official website of SBI (https://bank.sbi) for official and authentic information.

ü Never share your account information with third parties.

ü Do not call any anonymous number displayed on search engines.

ü App pin, UPI pin, CVV number, expiry date of debit card and 16 digit debit card number is for personal use. These should never be shared with anyone in any circumstances.

ü Never reveal your account related information on Social Media.

ü Always interact with verified handles on Social Media without sharing account specific information.

SMS Based Frauds

This is a new kind of fraud which is executed by sending unsolicited SMS to a user. The SMS contains a fraudulent link which prompts the user to submit document. The SMS is framed in such a way that it looks authentic to the users and creates a sense of panic in them. We represent below such an SMS for awareness.

Another way of committing a fraud through SMS which is rampant nowadays is sending an SMS in the name of Income Tax department for claiming refund. The same is also represented below for awareness:-

Learning Points

ü Think before clicking any link embedded in any SMS received.

ü If any SMS prompts you to visit the website of any organisation, make sure you visit the official website only and not a fake one.

ü Never login to our internet banking portal through link shared over SMS or email through any unidentified source. Instead one should type URL of the desired site.

Approximate Composition of Portland cement Calcium oxide (CaO) 60-70% Silica (SiO 2 ) 20-25% Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) 5-10% Ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3  )         2-3% Raw materials are: Limestone -  (provides lime), Clay -  (provides alumina and silica), Gypsum - (reduces the setting time of cement).

चुप रहना। ऊपर वाले ने दो कान दियें है उसका इस्तेमाल करना। लोगो की बकवास बातो को एक कान से सुनकर दूसरे से निकाल देना। अपने पास ब्रेन है और ब्रेन में कई भाग है, जिसमे आप तरह तरह के बातो को हर जगह जमा कर सकते है तो लोगो की अच्छी बातों को इकट्ठा किजिये और बाकी बातो पे मिट्टी डालिये। लोग कितना ही कियु न कहे के आप ये है ऐसे है वैसे है बिगड़ गए है आपमें सलीका नही है इन सब बातों पर भी मिट्टी डालिये और अपनी ज़िंदगी बिल्कुल एक आज़ाद बच्चे की तरह गुज़रिये, जिसे किसी चीज़ की फिक्र नही होती न कल की और न होने वाले हादसों की। अपने सिवा दुसरो पर भी नज़र रखिये खासकर अपने माता पिता पर कियुकि इंसान कि ज़िन्दगी में एक बार नुक्स लग जाए तो फिर डॉक्टर का चक्कर आम हो जाता है। और माता पिता एक ही बार मिलते है। अपने सकुन और खुशियो को दूसरों में नही ढूंढिए बलके खुश रह कर ज़िन्दगी गुज़रिये कियुकि खाने में नमक हो तो नामक की कमि महसूस नही होती और न हो तो खाना बहोत बदमजा लगता है उसी तरह से सच अगर आपके तारीफ में हो तो बुरा नही लगता और अगर आपके खिलाफ हो तो बहोत कड़वा लगता है। कभी कभी अपने दिमाग़ को सकुन दीजये आस पास ह...

छत को गर्म होने से बचाने का सबसे आसान तरीका क्या है?

By
छत को गर्म होने से बचाने के लिए उस पर चूने से पुताई कर दें। एक हजार स्क्वेयर फीट छत के लिए पांच किलो चूना(डले वाला) रात में गला दें। ध्यान रखें पानी डालते ही इस चूने से खूब गर्मी निकलती है कि पानी उबलने लगता है इसलिए सावधानी रखें। इसे रात भर गला रहने दें। सुबह जल्दी उठकर छत को अच्छे से साफ करें और चूने के घोल को छत पर डालकर झाड़ू से फैलाते जाएं। आप चाहें तो इस घोल में आधा किलो फेविकोल भी मिला सकते हैं। फेविकोल को अच्छे से घोलें और हर बार घोल को हिलाते हुए मग में लें। छत जितनी साफ होगी चूना जितना सफेदी लिये रहेगा छत उतनी ही ठंडी रहेगी। चूने की सफेदी छत पर पड़ने वाली सूर्य किरणों को परावर्तित कर देती हैं और छत ठंडी रहती है। आजमाया हुआ तरीका है पिछले बीस साल से कर रही हूँ Writer: Kavita Sharma
