Counting the network traps we encounter, with the continuous progress of society and technology, fraudulent means are also "advancing with the times". Loan, impersonation and recruitment are the three most commonly used fraud methods by criminals, and they are also the easiest to succeed. Let's take a look at the network traps we have encountered.
Take stock of the network traps we encountered 1 1. Fake WiFi hotspots
Hedy lamarr is the mother of WiFi and the second mother of Internet Mi Chong. It is no exaggeration to say that the question that most people will ask when they go to a new place is: Is there WiFi? What's the account password? Connecting a mobile phone to WiFi is like inhaling oxygen, which instantly relaxes a lot.
However, this also provides an opportunity for some lawless elements. Free or password-free WiFi hotspots can often be seen in public places, which contain hidden online traps. Some hackers will set fake WiFi with the same name. When you connect, you will get your relevant information by operating online banking transfer and online shopping on your mobile phone. Be wary of unknown WiFi that requires personal information when logging in.
Second, malware.
Some software apps will be installed on our mobile phones, tablets and computers, especially now that the memory of communication tools such as mobile phones is getting bigger and bigger, it is not a problem to download more software. However, when downloading software, it should be noted that you should not trust those software of unknown origin, and the software marked "free version" and "cracked version" on the webpage.
A lot of malware is hidden in it, ready to attack your information at any time. Viruses in malicious software will modify your device information, causing the device to get stuck or crash, and may also cause problems such as data loss, file damage, inexplicable files, insufficient memory, and automatic operation of the operating system.
Third, phishing emails.
Have you ever received an email from your colleagues, relatives, friends or other trusted people asking you to reply to the email, click on the link in the email or download the attachment? This is probably a hacker's disguise. In order to steal your data and information, the virus is implanted into your computer or mobile phone, and then a network attack is carried out.
Therefore, when you receive such an email, you must be vigilant, don't fill it in indiscriminately, don't reply indiscriminately, don't click on the link in the email, and don't reply casually.

Count the network traps we have encountered. 3. Count the "five crimes" of online fraud.
Case 1: Shopping funds were robbed.
[Case] Mr. Gu of Hubei recently bought a discounted brand-name leather bag for his wife online, and the seller sent a compressed file through the chat tool to confirm the model. When Mr. Gu opened the compressed file, he saw the system prompt "File damaged". At that time, he didn't care, and went back to the shopping website to pay. Strangely, 500 yuan's money was transferred to another strange account.
[Expert] The Deputy Director of the Information Reporting Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 1232 1 Network Bad and Spam once said that this document received by Mr. Gu is the "shopping" Trojan horse most reported by netizens at present. This Trojan can monitor the browser of the computer, and hijack the funds paid online when the victim pays. In the second half of 20 10, the 1232 1 reporting center received a total of 4827 online shopping-related reports. Shopping trap is one of the most illegal online behaviors that affect netizens.
[Precautions] When shopping, you don't need to receive such certificates at all; If you really need to see product pictures, you should also ask the seller to send files in common picture formats such as jpg, instead of compressed packages or executable programs such as exe and scr.
Two cases: fraudulent websites "cheat you without consulting"
[Case] Mr. Zhao of Gansu recently found a travel website and booked two air tickets from Lanzhou to Beijing. After the enthusiastic consultation service of this website "Customer Service", Mr. Zhao listened to the other party's words and directly remitted the purchase amount 1420 yuan to the other party's bank account. Later, I was told that the remittance system was frozen and needed to remit money again 1.460 yuan (plus insurance in 40 yuan) to unblock it. So Mr. Zhao remitted the money again, but in the end he neither got the ticket nor recovered the money.
[Expert] Qi Xiangdong, president of 360 website, said that near the Spring Festival, the 360 security guard "Net Shield" module intercepted more than 23 million fraudulent websites every day. Fake drug websites, fake shopping websites, fake payment platforms, fake beauty services, fake dark horse stocks, fake airlines, etc. No matter what service you want from the internet, you may fall into the trap of a liar.
According to the statistics of Beijing police, in Beijing alone, more than 3,700 online fraud cases were reported in one year, involving more than 70 million yuan. According to the statistics of Jinshan Network, from 20 10 to 10, they found that there were about 1500 phishing websites related to online shopping every day. Why are phishing websites so rampant? Qi Xiangdong said that the cost of making a phishing website is only tens of yuan, and the cost is low.
The general routine of fraudulent websites: First, spread false information through forums, blogs, Weibo and other channels, and design some keywords optimized by search engines to trick netizens into visiting; Secondly, announce a customer service phone number, and then inform the customer to remit money directly to the bank account; As a result, the injured customer can't buy anything after remittance, but instead asks the customer to continue remittance under various excuses such as "the remittance system is frozen and it needs to be recharged before it can be unsealed".
【 Precautions 】 Remember the domain name of official website, and carefully compare whether the opened webpage is consistent with that of official website. All regular shopping websites will support third-party online payment platforms or online banking systems. If the customer is required to remit money directly to the bank account, it is undoubtedly a fraudulent website. They should immediately refuse and report to the local public security organ.
When trading, you should also carefully check the bank payment page. If in doubt, don't make payment transactions. Generally, the prefix of bank transaction address is https, which means that when you enter the secure link, there will be a golden lock sign in the lower right corner of the page. Double-click to view the security information used by the site.
Strengthen safety awareness and install safety software. Inquire about website information. If domestic winning information is displayed, but the server IP is abroad, it must be a phishing website. If the domain name is not filed with the relevant state departments, at least it means that the website is not standardized and needs to be treated with caution.
Three situations: "high-end goods" take low prices as bait
[Case] Jiangyin public security department recently cracked a major case of online sales of counterfeit famous brands. The suspects organized the production of counterfeit Gucci, Armani and other world-famous products in Hong Kong and other places, set up warehouses in Jiangyin, and opened online stores in Shanghai to display these products to attract consumers to buy at low prices. Consumers found that they were cheated through online shopping and reported this website to the public security department. The public security department tracked and seized a large number of counterfeit brand-name products. The case involved more than 50 million yuan, and many online shoppers were fooled.
[Expert] The police officer said that attracting online shopping at low prices is very common in online fraud, and this website is exactly the case. Criminals attract online shoppers under the guise of "shocking price" and "super value", and then defraud money by selling fake goods or not delivering goods at all.
[Precautions] Consumers can draw a conclusion with a little judgment that most brand-name products are uniformly quoted and cannot be sold at low prices. Therefore, we must not have illusions.
Four situations: online games cheat a lot.
[Case] Wuxi public security organs received a report from residents of this city in August last year, claiming that they were defrauded of more than 200,000 yuan on the grounds of "buying and selling game gold coins". After receiving the report, the public security department organized the police to carry out an investigation, and on August 25th, Zhao and other eight members of the online fraud gang were arrested in Dongfang City, Hainan Province. After investigation, the gang set up a fake website "Maibu Trading Mall" on the Internet from July 20 10, and defrauded netizens of money by selling game gold coins at low prices.
[Expert] Wang Fengchang, CEO of Fayi.com, said that there have been frequent online game fraud cases recently. Criminals often create a game website first, then advertise among gamers by bidding for keywords through online search engines, and then sell game accounts and virtual equipment through the website. After the player pays, he will never find this person again. "Easy to send. Com has organized lawyers' groups for many times to help online game enthusiasts defend their rights, but there have been no successful cases. The key is that criminals are mostly abroad, and technical measures should be taken in advance to prevent them. With the clues left on the internet, it is difficult to find yourself.
【 Precautions 】 Online game enthusiasts should carefully identify the authenticity of the website when buying virtual products in the game, and it is best to buy from a reputable big website.
Five cases: customer service phone "tricky"
[Case] Ms. Yu from Inner Mongolia received a "customer service" call from a well-known shopping website, selling "discounted mobile phone recharge cards and giving away brand-name cosmetics". Ms. Yu happened to be a member of the website, so she agreed to buy it and pay in cash when receiving it. To her surprise, after payment, she found that the mobile phone recharge card sent by express delivery could not be used at all, and cosmetics were also fakes.
[Expert] Yan Qiao, manager of Taobao's public and customer communication department, said that many netizens are used to communicating and consulting with sellers when shopping, and some people use this to cheat. Due to the serious disclosure of personal data on the Internet, some online shopping frauds also combine telephone, SMS and other tools to register or steal an online shop, targeting those netizens who have leaked their names, telephone numbers and addresses. Fraudsters often gain the trust of buyers in conversations, or send fraudulent websites as the transaction funds for sellers to hijack victims, or tamper with the payment amount, or even directly obtain the account password.
【 Precautions 】 When you receive this kind of call, you should first check whether the calling number is credible, and at the same time carefully check the domain name of the website link. Otherwise, it will be cheated by criminals in the name of well-known shopping websites like Ms. Yu.
