Desktop Reporting Download Instructions: Fill & Download for Free

All the time, and I reported two of them to the authorities!I have run either a repair center or an electronics shop for about 8 years of a 15 year career. I can't say “I've seen it all" because I've been lucky enough not to find kiddie stuff on anyone's machine. (Although I've hired techs that unfortunately have had to report child porn.)Now, before you roast me for snooping through people's files, I actually have a rule not to do that. When I say that so many people have downloaded porn, it's always blatantly saved right in plain sight:• Thumbnails on the desktop• “Recently opened" section of Windows Explorer• Saved as the desktop wallpaper• One client I would consistently visit, had his girlfriend's “happy spot” as his Windows user profile image. Needless to say, I got very good at typing in his password quickly.But my two craziest finds were:Drug Dealer's ListIdentify Theft OperationDrug Dealer's List:A very common repair is hard drive swaps or upgrades. To replace a hard drive, I have to try and get everything off the old drive before swapping. One particular repair was done by plugging the customer's hard drive into my laptop with a USB adapter. It failed the “drive health check" and needed to be replaced. I saved what little files there were to my own desktop, replaced his drive, and transferred the files back for him. I do that all the time, so I thought nothing of it. He came to the shop, picked up his pc, and I continued my work week.One day, I was going through files on my desktop to declutter the screen. When I came across a text file just named random letters. (E.g. “djaisifujfjsj.txt") Now to understand why I opened it, I save notes in text files all the time, and I knew I name things by keyboard mashing. Thinking it was some quick notes I had jotted down, I realized that I was looking at a list of drugs for sale. These were not weed, coke, and vicodin. These were drugs I had to Google search like:• BTH (Black tar heroin)• Special K (horse tranquilizer - ketamine)• Tweak (crystal meth)• Psychedelics on blotter (sheets of acid)• mushrooms, cocaine, ecstasy, and more I don't even remember.The list had weights, prices, shipping instructions (over usps) and paypal payment instructions. Needless to say, I sent that to my local PD and deleted the file. I don't do drugs, but I sort of wish I had kept the file.Identify Theft Operation:A couple came in to my shop and dropped off a laptop to upgrade to SSD. It's actually the same transfer procedure as a failing hard drive, but it can be done without my machine. This couple had a large amount of files (triple digits of gigabytes) and when I have to transfer that much data, I don't use Window's normal copy/paste, I use a program called Teracopy. It makes it so if there is a hiccup, it'll just skip that file and move on to the rest of the job.Teracopy shows thumbnails of images while transferring files!So usually I don't pay attention while it's going, but this time it was showing cell phone camera images of lined paper handwritten with people's information on each line.Name ______ Full Social Security Number ______ Date of birthName ______ Full Social Security Number ______ Date of birthName ______ Full Social Security Number ______ Date of birthLine after line, page after page, after page, after page. While transferring files, each thumbnail comes up for a fraction of a second. The images of these papers were popping up for a good 2-3 minutes.There were also cell phone images of people's mail, obviously not belonging the couple. So I had to report this to the authorities, but first, I had to show my coworker Bob. As soon as I showed Bob, he called his wife and talked for a just about a minute. When he hung up, I asked why he would call her and not the police.“My wife works for the FBI office over on West Broadway”

Facebook login and scrollingHave you ever wondered if there was a automated bot that automatically logged in to your Facebook account and scrolled down for you…? I did! That’s why I wrote a simple script that logs in to Facebook and scrolls down for me…@echo off for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >> %temp%\login.vbs  for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo IE.Navigate "http://www.facebook.com/login.php" >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo IE.Visible = True >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo Wscript.Sleep 6000 >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo IE.Document.All.Item("email").Value = "your_email" >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo IE.Document.All.Item("pass").Value = "your_password" >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo WshShell.AppActivate "IE" >> %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" >> %temp%\login.vbs start %temp%\login.vbs timeout 15 >nul del %temp%\login.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo Set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >> scroll.vbs for /l %%n in (1, 1 ,1) do echo wshshell.sendkeys "{PGDN}" >> scroll.vbs :loop start scroll.vbs timeout 3 >nul goto loop Steps to setup login bot:Create a new text document on your desktop.Rename “new text document” to “AnyName.bat” (The .txt extension must be replaced by .bat)Copy above script to the text file.Replace “your_email” with your Facebook username.Replace “your_password” with your Facebook login password.Note : Don’t remove quotation marks around password and usernameSave it and run.Instructions:“timeout 3” on second last line of code is waiting time between two scrolls in unit of seconds. Change it if you want to.Just close Command Prompt window to stop scrolling.Error:If your Facebook account is already logged in, it will give the following error.Just click on OK. The bot will continue scrolling.It needs email and password input field to proceed, which are absent in case of already logged in. That’s why it gives that error.How does this bot work:When you run above code, it generate following vbs script in file login.vbs in temp directory which logs in to Facebook account.Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")  set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")  IE.Navigate "http://www.facebook.com/login.php"  IE.Visible = True  Wscript.Sleep 6000  IE.Document.All.Item("email").Value = "your_email"  IE.Document.All.Item("pass").Value = "your_password"  WshShell.AppActivate "IE"  WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"  After successful Facebook login, it deletes the login.vbs file.Then it creates the folloing vbs script in scroll.vbs file that performs the job of scrolling.Set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")  wshshell.sendkeys "{PGDN}"  Then it executes the scroll.vbs file again and again until the Command Promp application is closed.For more details : Programming with VBScriptCreate similar login bot for other websites:Let’s create login bot for Quora as an exampleStep 1 : Open Quora login page in google chrome(Recommended)Step 2 : Replace login page URL “http://www.facebook.com/login.php” in the code with login page URL or Quora (.https://www.quora.com/) or any other website you’re making bot for.Step 3 : Right-click on Email field and find the value of “name=” in highlighted area.Step 4 : In the code, in 7th line, replace “email” with current value of name, which is same in case of Quora, “email”.Step 5 : Go back to Quora login page and right-click on Password input field.Step 6 : Repeating same procedure, find “name=” value of password which is “password” in case of QuoraStep 7 : In 8th line of the code, replace “pass” with new value, “password”Step 8 : Save the code, run the file and sit back…Download the bot or report any issue

Phishing scams use email and text messages that appear to be from a legitimate organization you do business with or a person you know. They attempt to gain your trust so you will click on a link to a fraudulent website, share private information, or open an attachment on your phone, tablet or computer.Clicking on a link or opening an attachment in one of these messages may install malware, like viruses, spyware, or ransomware, on your device. This is all done behind the scenes, so it is undetectable to the average user. Once the malware has been installed, it could harvest your sensitive information, send out more phishing emails to contacts in your address book or provide a scammer with remote access to your device.Unfortunately, phishing messages are becoming harder and harder to identify. (For more information, read How to Spot (and Stop) a “Phishy” Email.) Because of the increasing sophistication of these scams, there is a high probability either you or someone who uses your devices will, at some point, fall victim to phishing.If you do make the mistake of clicking on a phishing link or downloading a malicious attachment, follow the steps below.Don’t panic! First, make sure that you have been phished. Merely opening a phishing email and reading it will not affect your computer. Nor will accidentally downloading a .zip file that contains malware. It’s only when you unzip the file and then open the document or program inside then you are likely compromised. Knowing the difference can save you from unnecessary stress.If you believe you have indeed been phished, immediately disconnect the computer or device from the Internet or network. If it’s a desktop or laptop connected via ethernet cable, unplug it. If you are on WiFi, pull up the menu and turn it off or forget the network.Notify your supervisor if you have one. This is the difficult part, as many people are embarrassed about their mistake and worry they will get in trouble. Don’t be afraid: a company with a good phishing policy should not blame the employee. Additionally, every second you delay can potentially make the problem worse.Scan your computer for viruses, especially if you opened an attachment. Many phishing emails contain malicious code that can capture keystrokes or take over computers or networks. Microsoft has a free tool, and for Mac, there is a free version of Malwarebytes.Change usernames and passwords. If the phishing email sent you to a phony site and asked you to enter your credentials, it probably captured that info. To be on the safe side, change all user/passwords for important sites like work email, bank accounts, and social media.Forward the email to IT, if you have one. If you work for a large company, there may be a specific email address to send phishing emails. You’ll want to include the header information, which shows where the email was sent from; the easiest way to do so is to drag and drop the phishing email into a new email and send.Flag the email as phishing. In programs such as Outlook, there are options to flag the email, which sends the info to Microsoft. Check your program’s email instructions for further info.Forward the email to the Federal Trade Commission at [email protected]. You should also forward to the Anti-Phishing Work Group at [email protected]. Again, include the headers by dragging and dropping the email. If you think your identity has been stolen, go tohttps://www.identitytheft.gov/ and follow the instructions.Alert the business or person the email appeared to be from. This could prevent further attacks, especially if the phishers have hacked into their system and are using their account.Evaluate the vulnerabilities of your business. Are there others in the company that can or have made similar mistakes? It may be time to implement stronger anti-phishing policies and add real-world simulations to help prevent further breaches.
