Increase your GMail and Google Account Security by 2 step verification

December 23rd, 2011 No comments

Wondering why am I writing such a post…….Its really important to be protected, rather than feel frustrated after your account is hacked.

Its very important for you to protect your e-mail account from being hacked……just like you don’t give out your credit card number to anyone that you don’t trust or giving it out to a stranger.

You’d probably be wondering, “what the heck more is needed other than my password…”.

Yes…Password is important, and having a long and complex password is “recommended”, but only a password cannot protect you fully.

GMail has now come up with a 2 step verification process……just in case your account is accessed from a location that Google thinks is “not legitimate”.

Check your Account activity by scrolling down the GMail Page and click on Last Account Activity :: Details

By default, GMail alerts users if their account has been accessed from an Unknown location, but offers no protection unless you complete the 2-step verification.

You need to provide your mobile phone number in order to verify your identity…….and in case of misuse, you phone number is asked along with the verification code, which is sent to you over an SMS or phone call by Google…..

The above action will strengthen your account security.

And….. You must also use the latest version of browser and Operating System must be up-to-date……Also please scan your computer and remove any viruses or malware.

Stay secure on internet, be hack proof while surfing

April 24th, 2011 No comments

Security is a major concern. Its just that some people never take it seriously. (and many don’t know anything)

People are then taken for a ride, with their account getting hacked and messing up after that.

Staying secure on the internet is very important and so we show you this very small Firefox Browser extension which makes use of HTTP S (S-Secure) for browsing. If your data is transmitted over HTTPS, then a hacker cannot read the data because its encrypted….It makes you more secure than just simple HTTP.

This plugin will then secure all your connections (wherever available).

HTTPS Everywhere by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation):

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.

Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.
