Both hardware and software key loggers offer sophisticated features such as keystroke tracking,
screen capture, and email reporting. However, some hardware key loggers have exceptional
features such as WiFi connectivity, stealth installation, and power failure protection. Depending
on their functionality and memory capacity, these key loggers have a wide price range. It is
important to note that using key loggers to monitor someone without that person's permission or
knowledge may be against the law. Care should therefore be taken when using these devices.
Question: 2
Phishing emails can often be difficult to detect. Point your web browser to
survey.mailfrontier.com/survey/quiztest.cgi and then click on The MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test
v 2.0. Click each hyperlink to view the email message or web page and then decide if it is
phishing. When you're done, your score will be displayed along with an explanation of why it is
or isn't a phishing example. Then click on The Mail Frontier Phishing IQ Test to take another
phishing test. Did what you learned on the first test help you? Did your score improve on this
test? Write a one-paragraph summary of what you learned about phishing in this test.
Answer:
People can improve their ability to spot phishing attempts by taking the Mail Frontier Phishing
IQ Test. The exam informs people about typical phishing email techniques, such as urgent
requests for personal information or suspicious web addresses. Individuals can protect
themselves from phishing attacks by being more careful and cautious when reading emails or
clicking on links after being aware of these techniques. Frequent participation in phishing tests
can help one better detect and avoid phishing attacks, which is essential to protect sensitive and
private data.
Question: 3
What can organizations do to combat typos? Explore the internet to see how companies are
combating this growing problem. How can these squatting site typos be removed? What does the
company have to do to stop these sites? Also, why was it so hard to do? What proactive steps can
the company take? Write a one-page report about your research.
Answer:
Typo squatting is a growing problem that has the potential to harm individuals and organizations
alike. It occurs when attackers register domain names similar to legitimate ones, often with the
intention of tricking individuals into divulging sensitive information or downloading malware.
To combat typos, organizations can take proactive steps such as monitoring new domain
registrations, registering multiple domain name variations, and implementing measures to detect
and block malicious sites. Companies can also combat typos by filing complaints with relevant
authorities, such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), or by
taking legal action against malicious actors. In order to remove the typos, companies must prove
that the sites are infringing their intellectual property rights or engaging in fraudulent activity.
Stopping sites with typos can be difficult because attackers often use techniques such as domain
privacy services to hide their identity and prevent detection. Additionally, some countries have
less stringent laws regarding domain name registration and ownership, making it easier for
malicious actors to register domains with typos.
In short, organizations can take proactive steps to combat typos, such as monitoring new domain
registrations and registering multiple variations of their domain name. Companies can also take
legal action or file complaints with the authorities to have misspelled squatting sites removed.
Despite the difficulty in stopping typos, companies can protect themselves by being vigilant and
taking steps to prevent and detect potential attacks.
