Cybercriminals:Security researchers from Symantec are warning about a recently intercepted flood of Xmas themed malicious and fraudulent campaigns.



Security researchers from Symantec are warning about a recently intercepted flood of Xmas themed malicious and fraudulent campaigns.
Christmas card 2
Security researchers from Symantec are warning about a recently intercepted flood of Xmas themed malicious and fraudulent campaigns. Isn't it too early for such type of campaigns to be launched, or are the spammers behind these campaigns relying on a different set of marketing tactics? The campaign is a great example of a flawed event-based social engineering attempt. Not only are the senders completely unknown by the recipients, but also, users are exposed to fraudulent E-shops for counterfreit shops, something that weren't looking for to begin with.
The mentality behind these types of campaigns is fairly simple - starting from the basic fact that a user will not be interested in requesting bulk orders of viagra by default, the cybercriminals are relying on incidential discovery of their fraudulent proposition in an attempt to convert these users into potential customers.
Over the past year, we've seen numerous attempts to entice users into clicking on these links, by impersonating a legitimate message or notification from a respected, trusted and well known brands. These are prone to intensify over the next two months.
Users are advised to avoid clicking on links found in such messages, and to report them as spam immediatelly.

Un zarpazo a Mark Twain

Quisiera mencionar algunas máximas del genial escritor Mark Twain que me encantan. Empezare con esta perla “Un hombre con una idea nueva es un loco hasta que la idea triunfa”. Me parece que esto ocurre muchísimo y ha sido el denominador de muchas realizaciones. Para ello me remito a casos como los de Arquímedes; Newton y Edison, para no omitir ni a Colon, así como tampoco a Bell. Claro que hay algunos que se ingenian “la mejor empanada del mundo” hasta que, para su desdicha, muchos arrancan pronto a copiarla.

Ahora veamos esta : “El banquero es un señor que nos presta el paraguas cuando hay sol y nos lo exige cuando empieza a llover”. Será esto común en los momentos actuales en los que se les ha dado a los bancos muchísimo dinero para rescatarlos de sus afugias y ellos no han devuelto casi nada a cambio a sus clientes? Lo triste de esto es que la banca es un servicio público y a los banqueros se les olvida que la plata que manejan no es de ellos y por ello caen con frecuencia en el efecto “plumilla” el que equivale a repetir con demasiada frecuencia a su clientela : no..no…no.

Esta otra me llegó con fuerza “El hombre es un experimento; el tiempo demostrará si valía la pena”. Mi adición a ella seria que es la realidad viviente de un ser que pasa por el mundo en plan de purificación y de cambio y que, si logra superar durante su vida aquellos defectos que más le afligen, podrá considerase como un verdadero victorioso.

Ehi Passiko

Este término Budista que implica algo así como “Vaya y vea por si mismo” es fundamentalmente un resultado del encuentro interior en el cual la persona logra aquietar sus pensamientos y concentrarse en sus propias vivencias, libre de prejuicio o de pensamientos atormentadores. Se habla entonces del proceso de “Mindfulness” o “Atención Plena”, el cual significa prestar atención de manera consciente a la experiencia del instante presente con interés y aceptación.

Todo lo anterior tiene que ver con el calmar la mente, lo cual está convocado en las diferentes formas de meditación que existen. Algunos, en el proceso, se concentran en su respiración, mientras que otros utilizan un “Mantra”( una voz repetitiva de un solo elemento), todo lo cual les conduce a quitarse de encima ese torbellino de ideas que surgen con la misma frecuencia a la vez en nuestras cabezas y que no nos ayudan para nada para estar en paz. Ante ello, etapas tan difíciles de aceptar como las perdidas, los abandonos, las enfermedades, los defectos físicos y hasta el envejecimiento, podrán ser abordados con mayor tranquilidad y claridad.

Es pues aquietar el “comité” mental, todo lo cual se hace en algunos casos acompañado de música suave y de la voz tenue del “facilitador” del evento, cuando este participa, aunque en muchas ocasiones esta práctica se puede llevar a cabo en forma individual. Es esto entonces un camino que conduce a la tranquilidad mental, todo lo cual nos permitirá luego afrontar con calma las diferentes situaciones que a diario se nos presentan y que sin ser fáciles tampoco ameritan ser tan agobiantes como en ocasiones las visualizamos.
