Indeed it always
became very necessary for PDA users like us to dump all our information to our
smartphone which became crucial for smartphone manufactures to protect the
personal devices from un-interpreted threats most of the smartphone companies had
to rigorously work to provide high end privacy to smartphones
but with the recent incident happened & FBI (#fbivsapple) suing a
federal case against the Apple Inc where #Apple Inc was unable to bypass the
#Iphone passcode owned by a dead terrorist. Where the passcode is encrypted
& which is unable to decrypt by third party even by the manufactures.
This matter brought #smartphone companies to such a confused state
that mobile companies are totally disturbed & thinking whether to have
the encrypted privacy feature for the smartphones or to totally avoid that
feature. Finally FBI took help from third party to crack the passcode
& dig the complete data from the IPhone.
There were also incidents happened that online hackers hacked
the tax filing consultancy’s online ERP systems & hacked thousands
of tax filers profiles & in turn hackers submitted the fake tax
returns to #IRS to get the returns. I think tax filing consultancies to have
the utmost security to their internal systems. The most possible option would
be to encrypt the Information being sent by tax filers.
Protect Your Social Security Information :
Protect Your Social Security Information :
With the increased hackers
attack it became very important to protect the personal sensitive data. I think
it’s very important to maintain the privacy with regards to sensitive
information. We corporate guys are shopping lovers & go to many malls
even sometimes forget where did we purchase & all we bought. There are many
cases we needed to share the personal data DOB, Physical Address, Phone Number
& sometimes even the SSN (Social Security Number). Whenever we get in
to the billing counter in shopping malls the guy at billing counter
insists us to take an offer card or credit card which adds some points or give
discounts to us after an every purchase. He gives us an application form
& ask us to write down our details the biggest mistake we ever do is
writing down the #SSN number over there. We should never share the SSN details
to anyone if needed to share our other details we should always directly enter
it in the system where it is encrypted & to make sure the system where
we’re entering the details is an authorized & protected one.
Fake calls on remittance & Tax :
Now a days there are fake calls
coming in & most of the people in US are threatened by muggers calling from unauthorized
numbers. They call by saying they are from police or US Tax department. They
hack our details from social media sites or from somewhere where we shared our
Information. They force not to disconnect the calls if do so they will take
necessary action by immediately arresting us & they give some nonsense
reason saying “You have problem in your VISA”. This is specifically for
students with F1 VISA & Working professional they say “You haven’t
paid the tax for the amount you transferred through remittance to your
country”. Couple of guys got these kind of call, One guy scared &
didn’t go out from the home for 2 days. One person lost 2000$ (USD), They ask
us to come to an unknown place or ask us to transfer money to their nonsense
accounts to resolve the fake problems. Better to avoid such kind of calls
& immediately intimate these stuffs to employer we work.
