Security :: Devious New Phishing Tactic Targets Tabs
May 25, 2010
Most Internet users know to watch for the telltale signs of a traditional phishing attack: An e-mail that asks you to click on a link and enter your e-mail or banking credentials at the resulting Web site. But a new phishing concept that exploits user inattention and trust in browser tabs is likely to fool even the most security-conscious Web surfers.As Mozilla Firefox creative lead Aza Raskin describes it, the attack is as elegant as it is simple: A user has multiple tabs open, and surfs to a site that uses special javacript code to silently alter the contents of a tabbed page along with the information displayed on the tab itself, so that when the user switches back to that tab it appears to be the login page for a site the user normally visits.
This is happening me for more than a year and despite I talk Google but they never do anything.
Okay, I have saved 3 tabs in the browser always.But from time to time the following sites shows up in my browser without my authorization: 1- http://www.en.com/ 2- http://www..%0a/ 3- etc
Why this is still happening?How can I block them to phishing (yes?) me?
Why those people FORCE me to visit (or buy their products) without my permission?
That is INVASION of PRIVACITY!
If I Go to my "Firefox Preferences" and I set my preferences HOW is possible that they can re-set them?
i have just installed Ubuntu,i'am really concerned about security,i have no idea about linux.In windows, i use kaspersky internet security to protect the computer, so any time i want to log on my bank web, i use virtual mode or secure mode,and also virtual keyboard offered by kaspersky,i ve never had a problem,this way i think i protect myself against fishing. Is there anyway to protect myself from the fishing attack in Ubuntu?
Firefox is sometimes slow opening new tabs/switching between tabs. If I click on the kickoff application launcher button, it takes a few seconds to open, and typing something in the search makes it hang up for about 20 seconds before it does the search. Clicking on an app takes 16 seconds before the menu window closes and the program begins to start. Then it takes another 30sec-1min before the app is usable. smplayer plays video with tearing.
Like right now I tried taking a screenshot, and it tells me
Error launching /usr/share/applications/kde4/ksnapshot.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application.
while the app worked fine.
I also tried running glxgears right now, and it runs but the gears don't move, and terminal states
15 frames in 19.0 seconds = 0.789 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 48 requests (48 known processed) with 15 events remaining.
If I'm on dolphin, and I click a video to start smplayer, it takes about 1 minute for it to start.
Memory is using 1.4GB out of 3.6GB, with 0.08GB/2GB swap
Top shows an average usage of less than 10% average. Xorg is always 25%, kwin is always 10% and then rest of the apps are less than that.

When I ssh into the computer with x tunneling, the programs start up faster than being on the desktop
I installed Startup Manager but the appearance and security tabs are missing. I really want to be able to change the resolution of the splash screen cause it looks all pixelated and I want to have the splash screen that 9.10 had.
I tried reinstalling and restarting but the issue remains. I know its somewhat functional because I am able to change the seconds that grub takes but when I try to change the resolution of the purple ubuntu startup screen it looks like it tries to change it but it fails.
I seem to be running into this issue a lot when installing various programs. I downloaded and installed a tar file (Linux Wacom Project. xf86-input-wacom-0.32.0 specifically) for my Bamboo tablet. Here's what I did:
Looks like everything went well here. But near the end I get this...
Code: Select allchecking for doxygen... no configure: WARNING: doxygen not found - documentation targets will be skipped checking for rint in -lm... yes checking for XORG... no configure: error: in `/home/mason/Desktop/xf86-input-wacom-0.32.0': configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I didn't really pay attention to THAT until I do...
Code: Select allcd ~/Desktop/linuxwacom-0.8.8-6 ./configure --prefix=/usr make
Where in I get this error message after I enter in Code: Select allmake at the terminal
Code: Select allmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
im trying to install Squid clamav with squid(fedora11, 386MB, 2.6kernel)..i configured clamd and is working fine,(squid wrking fine) then i tried to install squidclamav via (yum -y install curl-devel).then i downloaded squidclamav-4.0.tar.gz and extracted.. then i run ./configure and then make.but make install command wont work; it shows an error.
I needed an open source alternative to after effects so i went for jahshaka but after following the instructions, i type in 'make' and hit return and it says "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." am i missing something obvious? i have looked around the web, but no-one has this problem that i can find i am using ubuntu 10.04.
i have installed mouse trap by the Ubuntu "easy peasy" software center ,but for some reason it didn't work so i uninstalled it and start to install the mouse trap from herehttp://live.gnome.org/MouseTrap/Installationbut when did the "make" step it gave me that error:make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.so how i fix thatand another problem that i have is when i go to a live radio on the net to listen it dose not work how do i change it to work like i changed to the "vlc player" to be the first program that opens
I recently switched over to Fedora 13 but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've tried writing simple programs in Emacs and Eclipse but neither will compile. It always gives the error, "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
I've looked around at a couple of forums, but people with the same issue can't install software, but I can. I got Fedora from the Fedora website so I know its complete, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm just missing a file or something.
I am using Kubuntu 11.04 on ASUS K52Jc and when I start compiling this happens: (yes,yes I do ./configure; after that) q12345@Laptop $ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. and what is so weird? Well, I can't do it on any other system that I tried (openSuSE, all Ubuntus, Debian...).
I'm using openSUSE 11.1, KDE I'm trying to install the module Apache2::Request to my OS. After the gzip -dc libapreq2-2.12.tar.gz | tar -xof - I typed in Shell these (as shown in INSTALLATION document of module): perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs Then something goes wrong, make doesn't work saying: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop..
I think the problem is in the command perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs in section .../path/to/apache2/bin/apxs . What does mean ./path/to/apache2/bin/apxs? Maybe I should write the path to apache2 which contains a file named apxs? I did not find such file apxs. My apache2 path is /etc/apache2, but there is no file named apxs... Result for perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs:
I want to add something at the end of each line, from line 4 to line 8, in vim? How can i do that? I know adding at the beginning is like: 4,8: normal: i# What i want to add contains special characters ( here it is: <br/> ) , in case that matters.
I want to add tabs at the beginning of each line, from line 6 to line 12. How?
Since I still want to do all my programming on Win32 platform, VirtualBox should be fine there, but would VirtualBox be able to manage games ( BF2, CSS )?If so then well I'm going to Ubuntu permenatly, if not, I'll just Dual boot between Windows & Ubuntu, Ubuntu for everything ( VirtualBox for programming ), and Windows os for Gaming.
My only problem there, is having to restart every time I want to play a game, that's why I was hoping VirtualBox could manage, wouldn't have to be any, fancy resolution.Also, with Firefox on linux, is it possible to use Ctrl- ( 1, 2, 3, etc... ) to switch tabs, on windows this is possible, and an a feature I love.
I'd can't seem to find a preference to turn off gedit's default behaviour of opening a new file in a new tab. I'd like it to open in a new window, so I can view two pages of code side by side. How can I convince gedit to open a new instance?
Currently the way tabs on the taskbar look (the bar at the bottom) make it a bit hard to distinguish between them. sometimes they all look like one big clump of text. its quite messy. when you look at something like the windows xp taskbar [URL] its much easier to see between them. I guess its also because the buttons look 3D in that they stick out a bit. Plus the choice of colours used for when you are on a tab helps.
Can I disable the tabs in gedit? I want it to behave like notepad in Windows. I found instructions for adding 'open in new window' menu options, but I want whenever I doubleclick on a text file or run 'gedit filename', the file to be opened in a separate window.
I was messing with Compiz to enable cube and 3D cube and something disable the rearranging of the tabs in my taskbar. I'm not sure what it was, Something was disabled. Anyone know how to re-enable this?
I was having a problem with the tabs in Firefox 4, on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. No matter what I did, whether it was clicking the "X" button, hitting Ctrl+W, looking for a "Close Tab" option in the menus, I couldn't close any tabs in Firefox 4. I started disabling extensions, and first, I disabled the "Global Unity Integration" extension, and lo and behold, after a restart of Firefox, the problem is no more.
This is not a big deal in the grand scheme, but more an annoyance. I allowed Ubuntu (Karmic) to do some updates today. now, in the File Browser, there is no longer a tab bar. Before, there was the bar located beneath the address bar that was similar to Firefox, that had the + to open new tabs. Now it is gone and I do not see an option for a tab bar anywhere. I realize i can right-click on the tree on the left to open a new tab, but I REALLY liked the original feature. Anyone know how to get it back?
A friend showed me in his server he logged via ssh and then type screen on that screen session used to open he showed me 9 tabs within same terminal in screen session.If any one is understanding what I am asking can you tell me how can this be done?If I remember correctly he modified .screenrc and wrote some thing in it which made this possible and he used to press Alt+1 ,Alt+2 ..Alt+n to switch in different terminals.
I want to know if it is possible for xterm to have tabs, just like konsole in kde?Also, is it possible to scroll line by line (just like Shift+Up/Shift+Down)?
want to set more text files. They have "tab" differently (3, 4, 6 or 5 characters space).I have to use "sed" or "awk" sette them in the same tab (for example five space haracters).
Which do you prefer and why? Also, I remember someone telling me once that while using space indentation use either 4 spaces or 2 spaces. Don't use 3 spaces. Anyone know why they would say not to use 3 spaces?
