Security analysts have always believed that fingerprints are a foolproof replacement for passwords and authentication protocols. However, a new development in this matter has literally toppled this theory and altered the game. When fingerprints are used as an authentication protocol, the single biggest concern is what to do if the fingerprint in question gets copied. This is exactly what has been demonstrated by a German hacker at a recent technology convention.
Jan Krissler, a hacker also known as Starbug, recently showcased some rather interesting news at the Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) in Germany. Interestingly, the CCC happens to be Europe’s largest association of hackers so it’s no surprise that this was the location for such a noteworthy revelation. Revealingly, Starbug demonstrated his technique for stealing fingerprints by simply analyzing a few High-Definition pictures of his target, in this case – German Minister of Defence, Ursula von der Leyen.

According to Krissler, faking these fingerprints was far easier than he thought possible. All he needed were a few close-range photos of his target in order to reverse engineer the fingerprints. He gained these photos from several press releases issued by the minister’s office and another that he took himself from a few meters away. With the help of commercially available software called VeriFinger he was then able to replicate the fingerprints of the Defence Minister of Germany, the country with the world’s 4th largest GDP and a leader in several technological and military fields.

After the demonstration, Krissler jokingly added – “After this talk, politicians will probably wear gloves when talking in public.” While that seems like a logical expectation, we doubt that will be the case. But we sincerely hope that politicians heed this warning and demonstration and take care to avert such cases in this modern age of cyberespionage, international cyberwarfare and other technology related crimes.

Krissler aka Starbug, is certainly not new to the hacking of biometric security and authentication techniques. When the Apple iPhone 5S was released in 2013, he successfully spoofed the highly publicized Apple TouchID sensors within 24 hours. He achieved this feat with the help of a finger smudge on the screen, wood glue and sprayable graphene. However, for his latest hack demonstration, it is scary that he does not need physical access to either a device or a finger. Makes you wonder how secure high-level authentication protocols really are.

A notable workaround for this is for users to not think of biometric security as a replacement for passwords or other authentication. While your fingerprints may be unique to you, the fact is they are not a secret. Anyone who is adequately motivated can easily get hands on your fingerprints through several innovative techniques. Instead, biometric security and fingerprint authentication should be used as a supplement for passwords. Starbug also agreed in 2013 by stating – “I consider my password safer than my fingerprint. My password is in my head, and if I’m careful when typing, I remain the only one who knows it.”

Interestingly, another novel hack technique was also showcased at the conference and this is known as “Corneal Keylogging”. This trick allows a hacker to gain someone’s passwords by simply gaining control of the camera of his smartphone. With this control, a hacker can simply read what someone is typing on the screen by analyzing HD photographs of the reflection of the screen in the user’s eyes. This technique may sound implausible to some, but the secondary cameras or front-facing cameras of smartphones today are strong to make this possible.

So while we all hope for and look towards a safe and secure 2015, advanced hack attacks such as this are constantly being built and showcased in all corners of the globe. It just goes to show that when it comes to security, there is no rest for the wicked.

Windows 10 Preview: The Start Menu Returns

The most obvious thing about Windows 10 is that, yes, the Start Menu is back, and it’s just as welcome as you might expect. The Start Screen was a UI design fail of epic proportions and being able to go back to the familiar pop-up menu is so much more efficient.

Of course, it isn't just that the Start Menu is back. It has also changed. Now the Live Tiles of the Start Screen are embedded within the Start Menu, providing yet another area for shortcuts (along with the taskbar, normal menu items and desktop) to opening your apps. Those Tiles that are actually Live will also show previews of app information, such as a message notification or the day’s weather.

It’s quite a nice addition both visually and because there is the potential there to provide a useful snapshot of your other apps. We’re not quite at the stage of finding it useful yet, but we can see the possibilities.

Things we’re not so keen on are that by default there is both a search button and a search function in the Start Menu right next to each other; that the Control Panel is removed from the list of apps by default; and that the power options are at the top of the menu, tucked away between the Live Tiles and user profile button.

But the search is at least quite powerful now, with results from Bing included along with Windows Store matches and local file matches, and this is a preview so there's plenty of time for Microsoft to tweak and complete the design.

If the Start Menu didn't already, it’s the inclusion of virtual desktops that really marks out how directly Microsoft is trying to please the desktop power users with this release of Windows. It isn't as slick as the virtual desktop integration in Mac OS, but it's a really useful addition.

New desktops can be added by either pressing Windows Tab or clicking the new Task View button. These bring up a new live app-switching interface below which is the option to add new desktops.

Once you've added a new desktop you can, from the same interface, move apps between them and rearrange them. Apps that are open in other desktops are underlined in the taskbar where if you click them it’ll switch to that desktop, which can actually be a little annoying if you just want to open another instance of that app and don’t know the keyboard shortcut.

Another really, really obvious nod towards ingratiating power users is that Microsoft has finally updated the Command Shell, at least a little bit.

Now users can use the familiar keyboard shortcuts of the rest of the Windows interface, with Copy and Paste and Ctrl/Shift cursor based character selection now available.

The most obvious benefit of this is that you can copy and paste complicated command instructions from the web straight into the prompt, which you couldn't do before. Sadly, you still can’t delete a highlighted selection but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

With holidays around the corner and most ecommerce sites throwing away huge offers and discounts, we have to be extra careful against online scams and frauds. In this post today, we have listed down some helpful tips that you can use for safe credit card usage on the Internet.

So, if you usually shop online with your credit card, here are some safety tips you must consider.

Choose Credit Cards Over Debit Cards

If you use your credit card most of the time for online shopping, then you are already following an important security tip. If any fraudulent charges occur on your credit card, you will still have time to report it to your bank and avoid paying for the transaction made on the card. On the other hand, for a debit card, ‘real money’ gets debited instantly, and it may take days before you can reclaim the money. Also, most banks offer zero liability on lost credit cards. If we take HDFC bank into consideration, it states, “If you lose your card, report it immediately to our 24-hour call centre. After reporting the loss, you have a zero liability on any fraudulent transactions made on your card.”

Go a step further – Use a Virtual Credit Card

Another credit card security tip that works effectively, is using a virtual credit card. As the name suggests, this is not a ‘physical card’ and not issued physically. The following are the benefits of using a virtual credit card:

1. A virtual credit card is mostly valid for 21 – 48 hours only, depending on the bank that has issued it.
2. The card can be used for making one payment only.
3. Any unused amount left in the card gets credited back to the customer’s account.
4. A virtual credit card cannot be stolen or cloned, as it is an intangible property.

Know your Online Shoppe

Always go for trusted, well-known, reputable, online shopping sites. This is more important when you are purchasing expensive items. It is also wise to go through the privacy and security policy of the site that you are shopping from. You might come across a site that offers unbelievable deals; but odds are, the deals are fake or not what they appear to be.

Understand What Information Your Online Shoppe Needs

A standard checkout/payment page of most online shopping sites require you to give the following details:

1. Full name as printed on the card
2. Credit card number
3. Expiration date
4. CVV number
5. Shipping/Billing address

But, if the payment page asks for your ATM pin, net banking login ID and password, mother’s maiden name, etc., then you have enough reasons to treat this as a phishing attack. Immediately close the browser, and report the website to the right authority such as Google.

Avoid Public and Free Wi-Fi Networks

This credit card security tip also applies to all kinds of financial transactions that you do online. Avoid using your credit card over public computer network such as cyber cafes and free Wi-Fi. These networks are less secured or have no security against hackers who can spy on your information and misuses it for illegal purpose.

Look for “HTTPS” and pad lock symbol

Before giving away your credit/debit information on the checkout page of any site, always ensure that the URL in browser’s address bar begins with “https://” and is accompanied by a “locked padlock” symbol. If it is otherwise, then do not proceed with the purchase. Go for a safer option such as cash-on-delivery.

Don’t Follow Links in Emails

If you receive an email from your online shopping site about a great offer, and asks you to follow a link to view it, then here’s what you should do. Go to the website by typing its URL in the browser or Google, and verify if it is really hosting any such offers. Never click such links in emails even if they seem to have come from your favorite or a popular retailer.

Have Anti-phishing Protection on Your Computer

Nowadays, it is impossible for normal users to differentiate a fake, phishing website from a real one. Even a professional, neatly done website that seems innocuous, can be a compromised site waiting for you to fall into its trap. Hence, having an anti-phishing protection on your computer can be extremely beneficial. This feature, as the name suggests, automatically restricts user from landing on a fraudulent or phishing website.

Recently, Mat Honan’s frightening account of how hackers destroyed his digital life has been making rounds online, scaring nearly everyone who reads it.

Basically, Honan’s digital presence was all but destroyed after hackers managed to delete his Google Account, wipe his iPhone, iPad and Macbook and deface his Twitter account. The reason for the attack, according to one of the people behind it, was “lulz” and to play around with a three-character Twitter name.

Honan’s position as senior reporter at Gizmodo did nothing to provoke nor protect him from the attack. Though he acknowledges his mistakes the affair, most sharply his failure to backup critical data (which everyone should have), his sharpest barbs were for Amazon and Apple, who’s security policies made the hack possible.

Though he acknowledges his mistakes the affair, most sharply his failure to backup critical data (which everyone should have), his sharpest barbs were for Amazon and Apple, who’s security policies made the hack possible.

Though Amazon and Apple have responded by updating their security policies, hopefully to prevent future attacks along the same vector, many have been wondering what they can do to strengthen their security online.
The truth is, no security is perfect and anyone who is a valuable enough target can be bit. But you can make yourself a more difficult target and someone who can not be trivially exploited and you can minimize the damage an attacker can do.
With that in mind, here are a few mostly common sense steps that can get you started to being more secure online.

• Make or Write Smart Password Using Letter, Numerical, Upper & Lower Case: 

A good password should be long, at least eight characters, easy to remember and contain a combination of lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and symbols. Most importantly, it should not be a word found in the dictionary nor any variation of one.

Also, you should never reuse a password for more than one site and you should never write your passwords down.

If this sounds like a lot, it is. It’s too much for pretty much anyone to do without help.
One solution is to use a device known as a cipher to generate passwords on the fly. For example, you can look at the domain name of the site and generate a password based on it. Basically, to do this, you look at the site you’re at and create a hard-to-guess password from the domain.

For example, facebook might have a password of g1s@v3r$ if you use the cipher of looking at your keyboard and writing the first four letters of the domain “face” using the keys one to the right of the real ones and then breaking up the letters with the numbers 1-4 alternating with the shift function every other time. Look at your keyboard (US) if you are unclear.

Alternatively, you can also use services like LastPass to help you generate, store and automatically fill in passwords. However, these services are a trade off between random, difficult passwords and a new central point of failure. As long as the service itself is secure, you’re most likely fine.

• Two Factor Authentication Attempt:

Matt Cutts at Google recommended this strongly on his blog and I agree.
Two factor authentication simply means that you need two forms of authentication to log into a site. However, they have to be two different forms (not simply two passwords).

One form, obviously, is your password (something you know) but the other is usually something you have. These days, your cell phone is the most likely thing as many services, such as PayPal and Google, will send you a text that you have to repeat to log in. Google also, has its own app for most phones and that’s how LastPass handles its two-factor authentication.

This is an incredibly powerful tool because, even if your password is compromised, which Honan’s attack shows it can be easily in some cases, your account is not. It’s very unlikely, barring drastic steps, someone is going to have both your cell phone and your password. One or the other is possible, even likely, but not both.

If your account offers two factor authentication, turn it on as soon as possible. It’s a very powerful step.

• Personal Information:

A lot of sites will ask you to create backup security questions in case you forget your password. Common ones involve things such as your favorite pets name or the street you grew up on.
The problem is that many of these things can be trivially researched. However, you can beat this by simply lying on the questions.

After all, there’s no rule that you be honest, just that you remember your answer. If you’re asked for your favorite pet, give the name of your childhood imaginary pet. Ideally, your answers should be related enough to the questions to remind you of what you said, but far enough off base that it’s not trivially guessed.

• Credit Card Common Sense Tips:

Credit cards are like passwords, ideally they should not be used more than once and should never be stored. As Honan’s attack showed, even if they aren’t used for financial gain, they can still be used to open up exploits into other accounts.

If you have a bank or a credit card company that will issue single-use credit card numbers, use them. They are immensely powerful. If you don’t, try to avoid storing your credit card numbers and especially about storing one number across multiple accounts.

It might be annoying to re-enter your credit card data every time you want to buy a book on Amazon, but it could be what saves you from a minor hack becoming a major one.

• Bottom Line:

In the end, security is about the trade off between protection and convenience. Most of the things that make you more secure will also take up more of your time.

It’s really annoying to have to find your phone every time you want to log in to your gmail or you have to enter a complex password that’s difficult to guess. Life would be much easier if we didn't have to deal with those things.

But, of course, that isn't practical. The problem is that others don’t value your life, your privacy, your information or your work. They would happily destroy it all, whether it’s for profit, a vendetta or just “lulz”, there are individuals who will not think twice about destroying your world.

If you realize that and that no one is too unimportant to be a target, then it only makes sense to take precautions now. Today’s hassle may save you from tomorrow’s attack.
