What is phishing, and protect him on Yahoo!

First will explain what phishing. It's such a fraudulent Web technology, when users come to the letter, as it were, from the service (e-mail, forum, classmates, and even the banks). In a letter asking to pass on the link and log into your account. Clicking on the link, the user gets a page exactly like the login page on the service. 

You can not help noticing that the address in the Address bar to one letter different from the original, and enter a username and password in the form. As a result of your cabinet in the service falls into the hands of a rogue - he will get "keys" to lock in your account. As a result - lost money or sensitive data.

Return to your account in the service will be possible, as a rule, only referring to the administration for help. But it will take both time and nerves.

Phishing protection may be mainly only care user. We must remember that no one ever has to require you to enter personal data in any service, including the service itself that will not do. Also, some browsers can be integrated functional warning that the site is unreliable, and may work for anti-virus or firewall, if the phishing page from a computer virus climb.

But let me turn finally to Yahoo. To protect against phishing, they decided to make a "tag" for the computer. That is, you can set so that the entrance to the login page in the mailbox on the form will appear a special image.

The image may be as character text, and any image you downloaded. I only use numbers.

To create a print, go over the login form on the link "Create a personal seal ..", then select print what you create (text or upload an image). Print your text in the opened three ways to enter symbols (five each) and choose a background color Print this page (by clicking on "other colors ..."). To preview print click the button "Browse" button.

If satisfied, click "Save." Will show you the message that if you enter into the box from different computers, you need to create a print for everyone - click button "OK". You will transfer to the login page in the box. In the form of login and password, you will see you have created print - remember it and watch during the next authorization of Yahoo for its existence.

Here's a simple way to protect against phishing invented at Yahoo. To use or not - this is your choice. For access to the box, this chip does not affect.

And remember that the press is not tied to the mailbox, but to the user's computer, probably by setting a cookie (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookies) in your computer. If you are using print, then configure it on all computers used to access the box.

And best of all, for access to the box, use the email clients Outlook Express and the Bat. And then, no longer necessity enter through the browser on the service itself.

I have already considered the possibility of creating mikroblog on Twitter, and full-fledged blog site on the Blogger service. Today I try to open the question of blogging, from which the blogosphere and actually began to develop. They are now very popular among people who do not need to starts a separate site, but there is a desire to express their views on various everyday issues.

The letter will contain a link after clicking on which the service will confirm your email. Then you can freely use their blog diary. Now you can configure the design of the proposed options and the structure of the diary. Depending on the service such opportunities may differ materially.

As a result of your publication will appear in their Friends page. They see friends of friends, and gradually you have any readers and commentators. This, of course, if the ideal. In reality the number of people you have added "to friends" and that you add will be different.

I also have the account's in several of these services that I use to advertise out articles blog. For example, on LiveJournal. Registration on it, I actually above and described. Joined on other services may be different, retaining the essence of the procedure.

Apart from the above set out, people who have accounts on multiple services, with the same publications, should learn the procedure Crossposting. This is when you create a message on LiveJournal or LiveInternet, and it automatically appears on other services. The mechanism of this, as a rule, can be found in the settings for services.
