Cyber Defense Tip: Share your Cyber Defense Knowledge
A few fortunate people can become Cadets at the Carnegie Cyber Academy and train with some of the greatest Cyber Defenders in the world. But not everyone knows about the Carnegie Cyber Academy and not everyone knows how important it is to be a Cyber Defender. In addition to defending themselves and their computers, a good Cyber Defender helps their entire community stay safe on the Internet.
Share what you learn during your training with your friends and family so that everyone will know how to protect themselves and their computers. Let people know about your cyber defense resources like this Web site and MySecureCyberspace.com. The more Cyber Defenders out there, the less damage cyber criminals and cyber villains can do!

Cyber Defense Threat: Pharming
Pharming is a type of Phishing scam. While Phishing attacks use an email with a link to a fake Web site to trick its victim into revealing their personal information, Pharming attacks do not require an email. Instead, victims are redirected to a fake Web site when they are trying to visit a safe one. The fake Web site prompts victims to enter their personal information such as a credit card number so cyber criminals can steal it.
Pharming is much harder to detect than Phishing because there is no suspicious email to alert the victim. It also allows the attacker to reach many victims at once because anyone who attempts to visit the real Web site during an attack will be redirected to the fake one. To protect yourself from Pharming attacks, always make sure that a Web site is secure before entering any information into it. You can also use anti-phishing or anti-pharming software when browsing the Web, they will warn you when you are viewing a suspicious Web site.
