Phighting Phishing and Pharming!

Data Doctors Radio Program | Ken Colburn & Brandon Disney First came phishing, the devious online practice of luring unsuspecting netizens to bogus websites through the use of fake e-mails. Disguised as legitimate requests for information from reputable companies such as eBay, PayPal, and financial institutions users are lured into giving up SSN, PINs and other personal info. Now, a new cyber scheme, called pharming, has emerged! It can take the form of a phishing-like e-mail that actually alters a file in your computer so that even if you manually type the legitimate address of certain financial institutions, you will be directed to the malicious site that gathers this info vital to identity theft.

Join us this week as Ken, Brandon, and Matt prepare you to face the latest in online scams.

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .

Download of the Week

ReNamer ReNamer is a small, yet very flexible file renaming tool that offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes and more. It can also remove brackets, add number sequences, remove digits or symbols and change file extensions. This program can come in handy after transferring digital pictures from your camera to your computer. You can then rename all the files at once in a sequential fashion (i.e. Ski Trip 1, Ski Trip 2, etc.).
