Internet / Be Aware About Ransomware Attack

« on: May 16, 2017, 09:37:43 AM »

Dear all,
Trust you are already aware of the massive RANSOMWARE attack occurred last Friday. It affected organizations around the world.

Based on initial analysis of this ransomware, it appears to be taking advantage of a recently disclosed Microsoft vulnerability (MS17-010 –“Eternalblue”) associated with the Shadow Brokers tools release.

Here are some basic tips in this burning situations:
·  Backup your data regularly: To always have a tight grip on all your important files and documents, keep a good backup routine in place that makes their copies to an external storage device that is not always connected to your PC.

 ·  Email Security: Always double-check before download any document as attachment in email. If document opens automatically, do not enable content or macro in it. Also, keep email security policy up to date. Never click on links inside those documents unless verifying the source.

 ·  Keep your systems Updated: If you are using Windows operating system, keep your system up to date,  or simply upgrade your system to latest Windows version i.e. Windows 10. Alternately you may choose for Linux variants as well.

·  For other versions of Windows OS: If you are using Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 or 2008, apply the emergency patch released by Microsoft.

·  Disable ActiveX and Macro in Microsoft Office like Applications: Disable Macro function in office applications, never enable content in Microsoft word, PowerPoint, excel etc.

 ·  Enable and Configure Firewall: Enable widows firewall.

Thanks

Internet / Be Aware About Ransomware Attack

« on: May 14, 2017, 12:14:06 PM »

Dear all,
On Saturday to prepare for a renewed cyber-attack, convinced that a lull in a computer offensive that has stopped car factories, hospitals, schools and other organizations in around 100 countries was only temporary.

The pace of the attack by a destructive virus dubbed WannaCry slowed late on Friday, after the so-called "ransomware" locked up more than 100,000 computers, demanding owners pay to $300 to $600 get their data back. Companies rushed to protect Windows systems with patches that Microsoft released last month and on Friday. WannaCry exploited a vulnerability to spread itself across networks, a rare and powerful feature that caused infections to surge on Friday.

The worm is primarily impacting business, where it can spread quickly through a network to take down an entire company. Business take longer to install critical updates and patches, often to avoid impacting any legacy software they are running.

Few precautions:
•   First, install any software updates immediately and make it a regular habit. Turn on auto-updaters where available (Microsoft offers that option). Microsoft also recommends running its free anti-virus software for Windows.
•   If you don't already have a backup routine, start now and regularly save copies of all your files. That way if your machine gets infected and your photos and documents are encrypted, you don't need to worry about losing them.
•   Finally, always stay alert. Don't click on links that you don't recognize, or download files from people you don't know personally.

Dear Students,
You know, Bangladesh is a fast growing country in ICT field in the world. Now a days, Digital Bangladesh is a buzzword of this country.
Cisco, a world renowned networking academy actively support the principles and programs of “Digital Bangladesh”. Cisco has been playing a vital role in training and creating network professions in the country through their Academy, a sister organization of Daffodil International University, for the last few years. But still an over whelming majority of the people of remote areas of the country has remained deprived of access to ICT education.

In order to tackle this issue of lack of ICT and networking professionals in the country, Cisco has taken up a project to train and motivate students/professionals to improve the ICT and networking skills in order to further their career.

This project will work in line with the program of implementing the dream of “Digital Bangladesh” and “vision 2021”.
We, from Cisco Networking Academy, through this project, would like to teach/train a number of students and professionals some selected areas of ICT and networking for a better and more effective career. This project aims to increase employment and awareness on ICT and networking.

Use of email / Secure your Email Account Using 2 Step Verification

« on: April 02, 2015, 12:49:32 PM »

Dear all,
You will be happy to know that recently in our mail service 2 step verification is added for you. We have activated this service for you for securing your email. You know, 2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of security to your university email Account, drastically reducing the chances of having the personal information in your account stolen. To break into an account with 2-Step Verification, bad guys would not only have to know your username and password, they'd also have to get a hold of your phone.
Enter your password
Whenever you sign into university email you'll enter your username and password as usual.
 
You’ll be asked for something else
Then, you'll be asked for a code that will be sent to you via text, voice call, or mobile app. Or, if you have a Security Key, you can insert it for login.
 
Keep it simple
During sign-in, you can choose remember that particular computer as a trusted device. From then on, when you sign in to that computer that time you need only your password.
 
You'll still be secured, because when you or anyone else tries to sign in to your account from another computer, a verification code or a Security Key will be required.

Notes: Please find the attachment for taking guideline for activating your 2 step verification (if necessary).
