Have You Heard Of Longline Phishing?
Posted by Andreea-Luciana Ostache andreea_ostache@bullguard.com
A recent study
showed that out of one billion email messages analyzed in a six-month period,
dozens had been subject to "longline" phishing attacks. These attacks were so
efficient that over 10% of the recipients were tricked into clicking on
malicious content capable of taking complete control of PCs and compromising
corporate networks.

We’ve all got that friend on Facebook who shares
too much. And maybe you’ve heard of a friend of a friend that got fired for a
Facebook post – well it’s true. You can get fired for what you put on your
social media profiles.
What You Need To Know About Passwords
Posted by Elena Ionică elena.ionica@bullguard.com
With
all the hacks we’ve been hearing about lately, the need for stronger and unique
passwords has become more stringent than ever. Good thing researchers are
constantly seeking new ways to enhance the safety and ease of use of online
authentication systems. It is possible that in a not so distant future we may
even be able to authenticate using pass thoughts instead
of passwords.
Is North Korea Training Hackers?

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve no doubt heard about North
Korea’s recent threats of a missile launch. Unfortunately, that’s not their
only form of attack. A few weeks ago, South Korea experienced a synchronized cyberattack,
but investigators have yet to identify the culprit. Of course, the number one
suspect is North Korea.
