captured by phishing on ipad despite high security

Hello

Ive been using my ipad 2 since many years (8?) and still have it on the security settings more high and have never had any problems or see pop-ups.  2 days ago, I clicked on a normal link in my facebook news feed and I was presented with a page that says "you have won a prize amazon apple!" I immediately thought this sounded suspicious even if the page looked very amazon-like. a small pop up box that says click on the 'ok' button to say that you have read this appeared.  There is no other way to navigate on this page apart from by clicking 'ok', so I did.  the next screen then says 'answer this question multiple choice to get your price' but I was able to navigate off this screen, so I did, without clicking any boxes.

We have never been victims of any form of fraud by credit card we are super careful with all our our security today our Bank called to say someone had tried to take the money on our account yesterday, but didn't, so they send us new credit cards.  It's too coincidental that ive never had a pop up on my ipad before and had never tried to credit card fraud and now they occur within 24 hours of each other!  so I think that I got caught in a phishing scam in this page 'price '.

can you please tell me:

(a) how can the phishers took my credit card details when I na not enter their phishing pages - I didn't click a button "ok". However, the credit card details are stored on the ipad (itunes... paypal... etc). Fortunately they failed to get their hands on security number 3-digit therefore couldn't actually get our money.

(b) how can I got this pop up when my ipad is set to 'no' for pop ups and ive never had before? have the crooks have found a loop hole in the apple system? I thought IOS armored?

(c) is my ipad now infected somehow? If I now put my new credit card details on this subject these details will be passed to the scammers? How can I check?

Thank you

Except if you entered credit card information, they did not receive it of yours that pop up on your iPad. The timing was just a coincidence. You are much more likely to have had your credit card information stolen if a store where you used it was their records compromised. Target has a big problem with that. My debit card has been replaced twice due to similar data theft in merchants. None of them were Apple.

  • Security options for Hotmail (once offered Standard or high-security)

    Last year and this year, by signing on Hotmail one option has been provided for Standard or high security.  I don't recall that consisted of a statement of what the definitions of 'Standard' or 'High security' or that the option has been removed.

    Please provide:
    (1) an explanation of the difference between the two are in terms of technology used
    (for example, Microsoft uses default SSL between browser and their servers?) and,
    (2) what happened to this option and what is the current level of protection of the input/output related email

  • Security level limited access to high security

    Dear all,

    I have something that I need your help it clarify for me; for reasons of tests outside NAT in PIX, I placed a host on the external interface of my FW PIX and another on the inside interface. We'll call inside host (Host: 172.16.1.178) and outside (Host B: 192.168.1.96).

    I then applied:

    NAT (inside) 0 0 0 and

    NAT (outside) 0 0 0 outside

    orders to have two subnets appear to others with their original IP addresses. When ping from host B to host, no response is received and a 305005 syslog message (no translation group not found for ICMP src outdoors: 192.168.1.96 dst inside: 172.16.1.178)... However, when ping from host A to host B with the original B IP host, a response is received successfully. After this, lead to confusion if I try again to ping from host B to host, things work this time without errors. (Note: ICMP is applied both way).

    Applying clear XLATE, again! Looks like the PIX doesn't sends the request of host B to host A unless there is a previous, established session from the host through the PIX.

    Does anyone have an explanation for what's going on? Is their someone who have experienced something like this before?

    Know your opinion.

    Thank you

    Haitham

    You are using nat 0 (identity nat) that does not allow two-way communication, UNLESS the host location to the interface high security initiates the connection.

    You can try the following:

    public static 172.16.1.178 (Interior, exterior) 172.16.1.178 netmask 255.255.255.255

    Which allows inside the host to be 'translated' to the outside and allow the host located on the untrsuted start the communication itself (will be seen with the same IP address)

  • How do I send/email Documents with high security and password

    I want to send Documents safely to my clients. What product need me, and how I have send/email with the password? I recently bought Adobe send but not sure it was the right product to send my documents safely?

    In Acrobat, you can create a portfolio in which your documents (all types) will go on attachments and encryption across the portfolio. You can also create a small PDF, possibly with the explanation of what's inside, attach your files and encrypt this PDF file. In this case you can encrypt attachments only, so that the user can open the PDF shell to extract files but would need to know the password.

  • Use Virtual Cener behind a firewall - high security

    OK, 2 ESX servers are connected behind a firewall. My VC/VIM is a virtual machine on the second ESX host. I installed VC on the virtual machine and was able to connect to it very well. Virtual Infrastructure Client connects to the server VC/VIM. When I try to add one of the ESX servers to my new 'Datacener' I go through the guests of identification and so on. I get to the point where it gives me a list of all the VMS on the server, then click on the "Finish" button and I get an error...

    "Failed to connect to host".

    Keep in mind here that the ESX what IP console is on another segment of the VC/VM.

    Any ideas on what prevents traffic? Appropriate for VIC to work ports are correct. Did I miss a port somewhere?

    Thank you

    How is the routing between the n/w for the n/w VM Console? It is a layer 3 with intravLAN active routing switch or go you through a router? can you run a scan of the virtual machine on the ESX server console IP port and see what all the ports are open. I doubt if the VMware-vpxa agent is installing on the ESX Server.

    You can manually copy the installation script for the VPXagent on the ESX Server and start the installation manually. Check if the connected ESX Server getts now.

  • My iPad has been removed from secure devices!

    I received an email telling me that my iPad has been removed from my list of secure devices.  Apparently, if I read correctly, because it "has been DELETED."  But my iPad has NOT ERASED!

    I connected to my Apple ID page and restored my iPad to my secure devices.  I use 2 part checking my ID and for awhile, so I see no reason to change my password for Apple, as the email suggested (he recently changed before that), but I AM MISSING SOMETHING?

    Why would this happen?

    Have you checked the full address of the sender to see if it was really Apple or a phishing attempt?

  • More often than in other music Apple will not be broadcast on my iMac, but at the same time, it will be on my iPad

    I am continually frustrated with Apple's music streaming on my iMac.  Looks like a song loads, but never gets started playing.  I always thought the problem was my internet connection, but lately I discovered that, although my iMac does not load a song, if at the same time, I use my iPad on my wifi it loads and plays immediately.  What is the problem with the music does not not on my iMac?

    Hello Lucyskye,

    Thank you for asking your question here in Apple Support communities. I understand you want to be able to play your music. I can't do anything without my music all day. Let me give you what I can to help you solve this and get your music to play on the iMac.

    I don't want to bring music to Apple implemented correctly first. Apple's music composition only allows you to stream music from Apple on one device at a time, unless you have a family membership. Even if you have a family membership, you can still only broadcast on one device at a time by Apple ID. For this reason, I suggest isolate us the devices first and this test with the iMac.

    1. exit the Apple music on the iPad. Please leave the app. You can do this by double tapping the home screen and drag the application to the top music. This article has the instructions and example pictures. Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    2. restart the iMac.

    3. If the problem persists, start the iMac in Mode safe mode and see if the load and play songs. (Although the speakers will be disabled, just visually see if she manages to go anywhere where it usually hangs up on. This article talks about fashion without failure: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    4. you want to then also to test in a Test user. This article helps with that. How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the problems remain and music will not play on the iMac in Mode without failure or user Test, then we want to stop the iMac. Back to the iPad, then click Settings > cellular and disable cellular data for a while. Make sure your iPad is only able to use a Wi - Fi connection and not able to access cellular data if the songs will not play on your Wi - Fi network. Then, open the app music again and try to play a song.

    If the music will not play one cell time is off, the cause is some parameters with your wireless network. You can check this information for the most common causes of problems with home networks. First of all, make sure that you use a wireless network open as your home network. If you connect to a Wi-Fi as a school, work, or other business, the airport, a military base or a hotspot of a network type, it probably won't work because these types of high security and high traffic and high security networks. They do not have the necessary data back causing problems exactly like the one you are currently experiencing.

    Do you use any third-party firewall (even on the router!), protection against viruses or proxies (which hide your identity on the internet)? Some security applications also do, but are called only for security or VPN. These few apps with names like Astrall or Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus, antimalware apps. There are literally hundreds of these applications that block the incoming ports that will not allow the function runs.

    If you want to check that the port is open on your iMac and the network, you can use this article: port TCP test between computers and peripheral connectivity. Apple music uses port 80, and iTunes music sharing is port 3689. You can find a list of all the ports used by Apple here: TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software.

    You can also find these two useful articles if you find that the problem is with your network.

    Don't forget to turn your cellular data within settings > cellular on the iPad once you're done test. Just in case music plays in Safe Mode or the Test user, you work through this article to resolve the issue. Mac OS x: how to solve a problem of software.

  • Recycler Trojan/Virus. Microsoft security scan failed.

    I used the Microsoft Scan for spies and malicious software yesterday, suspecting that I got a virus/trojan recycler who has eaten all the space on my recovery disk.  Registry entries false scan identifyied 97 and restored my D drive at its full 2 GB of space.  This followed my also used Malware Anti-Malware bytes scan that identified and removed the Trojan KB2008082810522 Agent.

    It seems that the recycler was not completely crushed and that it reproduces itself.  Is there some anti-malware or corrective process that can nail this thing?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    You must use methods to kill. As you have discovered that some of the malware has been
    found and removed.

    No program can be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often
    easy to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run the

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook running Windows 7 that I connect to a new router.

    The router offers a high security setting: WPA - PSK (TKIP) and WPA - PSK (AES).  My laptop does not show this as being available.

    It shows that of the two, but not both combined.

    Does anyone know if my laptop can provide this level of security setting so I can match my router?

    My cell phone as a card Intel Centrino Wireless N-1000.

    Thank you!

    Dear Dragon-fur,

    Thank you very much for your kind response and assistance.

    I used the AES as WPA - PSK (AES) parameter.

    However, it seems that a better level of security is available, at least on my router, which combines the AES parameter with the TKIP {WPA - PSK (TKIP)} parameter.  It shows like the WPA - PSK (AES) + WPA - PSK (TKIP).  My notebook, however, does not give this combo setting option.

    I'm misunderstanding you?

    Thank you very much!
