Fancast Brings Kyle XY (3X01) — “It Happened One Night”

Look what I found:

Kyle XY “It Happened One Night” Season 3 Episode 1

[ad#ad2-right]After Amanda’s abduction in “I’ve Had the Time of My Life”, Kyle plots to rescue her from Latnok’s clutches with the help of Jessi.

I saw this on Fancast and I wanted people to know where you can find the episodes at. It seems to be released on the net quicker than on TV. I Hope you enjoy it. If anyone knows about some of the other Science fiction shows let me know. Now I wish Hulu would be like this and get some good episodes.

Setting up Email Filters for Twitter Phish — Getting Phishing out of the way

Ok So we’ve all had the problem of having to deal with this twitter phish, and you can see there are more and more twitter spam.

So how do you start Filtering out the Bad twitter spam?

I’m using Mozilla Thunderbird so this will not be a complete way for people who use other email software.

Select Tools and then Message Filters

Once You find your way to this menu you would click new and then you do this:

To get here in Thunderbird Tools From the Menubar and select Message Filters

Now once you’ve named your twitter filter, I named it “Twitter Spam” but you may name it whatever you would like.   I then selected to “Match all of the Following”, if you don’t do this it will send all direct messages to your spam folder.  You’d get no direct message from anyone about anything.   I told the filter if it was from “*@postmaster.twitter.com”.   Once you done that you would click the plus sign to add [ad#ad2-right]another row and then I selected the “Subject”.  I selected that to filter whatever is in the subject body of the message and filtered for “http://*.access-logins.com”.  Then I clicked Move Message to Spam Folder.  You can move it to your own twitter spam folder, it is just nice to move it away from the important stuff.   You also if you like can Mark it as read also by clicking the Plus sign and selecting “Mark as read” so that you don’t have to worry about reading each and every one.   For people who are wondering the Asterisk is a Wild Card which means it does not matter what is in there that is import to prevent getting spam from people you know or from sites you know are phishing.

Some people might like to do this for Google Mail and I see no problem in people doing this before you even get the email but if you’re not using Google mail and would like to do this for your email hosting account by all means follow these steps and you shouldn’t get much phish direct messages.  I will say if they us another Free hosting account you’ll get it for the time but it won’t be constant.   I hope this helps people get this out of there way.  Soon this will be in the past.

If you suspect you will get more blogspot.com links also you can set up a seperate filter to filter for “http://*.blogspot.com” just follow the instructions just like you did but use that instead of the other internet address.  I’d also tell people to not Direct message you about a site  if it is important to look at to reply to you but don’t direct message you. 

Old phish becomes new again

According to some reports, this phishing has started up again and is now changed a little web address and when you go to the site it looks like:

Twitter Phish spam

[ad#ad2-right]If you sign into this website with your twitter account information, it sends out a Direct message with these links in them rosalierebyb.blogspot.com redirects to http://twittyblog.access-logins.com/login and the only way you can fix this is to CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.

I’d also suggest getting a password manager so if you use just one password for all accounts you will easily be able to change them and make the passwords much harder to hack. You do not want your passwords stolen do yo? I suggest Roboform it works really well with password management.

New Twitter Phishing -jannawalitax.blogspot.com

I read Chris Prillo’s Blog about this and wanted to investigate this even more. When you go to this site it looks like:

http://twitter.access-logins.com/login/ --Phishing site

When you go here the web address is : http://twitter.access-logins.com/login/ and it looks like it was a redirect form the blogspot.com site.   so what I did an experiment and just took off /login/ on the address and this pops up:

Face book fake -- http://twitter.access-logins.com/
[ad#ad2-right]

This website looks to like a facebook website so now you have to ask where is this at: Hunan China.  After I did a whois look up it looks like China is at it again.  These are trying to get on to your account to either spam or use it to get people to install software.   So what are things you can do?  If you have a question about this always check it out.  That is why I like to check everything out with these types of phishing scams.   I don’t know why they want twitter accounts, I just know they are doing this now.   So if you get this message:

hey! check out this funny blog about you… jannawalitax . blogspot . com

Just ignore it and possibly blog the twitter account.  That is probably a bot or someone’s account been hacked and is no longer valid.   I’ll leave that up to you on how you handle that account.   This is to warn people about this account and warn people. Help Protect your password with Roboform, don’t just use one password for all accounts.  It also seems to be possible worm, if you think your infected check out my resource on remove the worm.  Here’s the link to that talks about this being a worm.

Reviewing Roboform: Great Password Manager

I’ve had Roboform for the last few months checking it out working with it seeing what is the pro’s and cons of it. Here’s what I’ve found out.

Limited number of passwords for non-license (Limited to 10 passcards – login information and password) — This doesn’t surprise me in fact once I’d started using it I had to buy it. You see I’ve got so many places I like to visit and so many logins it isn’t easy to track them all. This helps me login to each and everyone of them very easily. Although if you only have a limited amount of sites the free version will work well for those people too.

Defeats Key loggers — This is good for those who have family members who use the same computer just in case someone installs a virus that tries to steal your sensitive information. Can be put on a portable thumb drive with use to a library or open platforms. This also will prevent key loggers from getting your login information.

Generates strong passwords — This is a must in my field, I’m so tired of having to come up with a password. Now this is generated on the fly. Click a button and you have a password generated. Tried this out on several sites that would tell you how strong it is and all of the said excellent.

Works with Firefox, Internet explorer, and MSN/AOL — Now being that I don’t have a MSN or Aol I do not know this I have however tried this on Internet explorer and Firefox very easily. It works well with Vista no major problems. I have tried it with Google Chrome and it seems not work at all with it. I do not know if they will start supporting it and only time will tell!!

Backing up your passwords — it is really easy to back up your passwords database on Roboform. Just copy and paste and your done. No needing to find a hidden Directory, Roboform Database for Vista is in the My Documents folder under “My Roboform Data” Folder. All you need to do is copy that to a USB key and no worries Roboform automatically encrypts the passwords so without the Master password you can’t use them.

No need to remember Passwords — Yes that is right you no longer have to worry about remembering your passwords all you have to do is click a button and Roboform fills the required input forms. It can be annoying if you use the free version because you only can save 10 passwords then the rest you will have to remember.

Easily speed through login screens — This is the best part of Roboform because no more having to type in the site you need to go to login. Roboform does that for you without any problems. You just pick where you want to go and Roboform takes you through and fills the information in before you know it. I absolutely love this feature because You don’t have to type in the place you want to go it will automatically take you there.

Roboform has several version — Roboform can be made portable and also be put on PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistant) or a Mobile Phone(Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian, or Blackberry). This is great for those who need to have your passwords on more than one type of device. Keeps it safe like big brother still need a master password to get to it. It also makes it just as easy to surf to the important websites with ease.

To Buy Roboform:

I strongly recommend this to anyone who has problems remembering passwords or want to upgrade there passwords to the next level.  This will ultimately protect you far better than trying to remember all your passwords.   This however is a personal and this will not protect you 100% but will get far closer to the 100% than just doing it alone.  Remember only you can protect your sensitive data and nothing else can stop password stealing 100% of a time.
