The Sacramento Chapter held two meetings this month, both a lunch and a dinner, to accommodate the busy schedules of the members.

Sharon Darrow, Chapter President, opened each meeting with a short welcome and a brief speech about the NAPW and its unique features as an organization. Sharron distributed information regarding the various membership levels and brochures for non-members. She reminded everyone that the NAPW gives free annual renewals to members who refer new members. Sharon also distributed website sample pages to instruct members on how to use the Community Wall, Bulletin Board and Message Center features. Sharon also distributed an updated local chapter list to illustrate the enormous growth that the Sacramento Chapter has experienced. She finally reminded all members to click on “Join This Chapter” from the Sacramento page so that the website will accurately reflect the membership of the group.

Sharon introduced the guest speaker, Sara Lopez.

“Sara will be talking about Diabetes from both her personal perspective as a long-time board member of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and as the mother of a teenage child who has needed insulin replacement since she was an infant,” Sharon said.

Sara is an active member of the Sacramento Chapter and an expert on the subject of Diabetes. Diabetes is known as the “silent killer” because it can devastate almost all of the organ systems in the body. Sara’s daughter has Type 4 Diabetes which means her body stopped producing insulin and she had to have her pancreas removed as a baby.

Diabetes is exploding in our society, in large part because of our diets and sedentary lifestyles. Type 1 is growing at a rate of 5%, while Type 2 is growing at a 40% rate and is very common in children.

Diabetes can strike anyone so it is important to know the symptoms: rapid unexplained weight loss, lack of energy, increased thirst, increased urination, and fruity smelling breath. It is also important for everyone to know what to do if someone around them suddenly experiences low blood sugar levels. If they act or look like they are drunk or on drugs (slurred speeck, lack of balance, ), if they experience changes in vision such as lack of peripheral vision, it is important to give them something to raise their blood sugar level. They can be given about 4 oz. of juice or soda, or a spoon of jelly or even table sugar.

Managing diabetes well can make a huge difference in the quality of life and is becoming easier with new scientific advances. Advances in the testing materials and techniques, as well as insulin pumps make it must easier now. Research is ongoing, and the next steps will be implantable systems to measure and manage insulin delivery — and hopefully a cure.

After Sara spoke to the group and invited members to share on their own philanthropic efforts, each member had an opportunity to brief the chatper on their current professional endeavors.

Her newest product is designed to help individuals network more effectively by creating a plastic nametag badge, with a strap clip, that looks like a business card. This is much classier than a paper name badge and helps new people associate the individual with the company, as well as “branding” the face with the badge.

Both Sacremento meetings each month have the same subject matter, but different women in attendance make each meeting a unique experience. There was not a single attendee who does not give her time and gifts to help others; not one who does not contribute to an inspiring cause and to help other people. The sharing this month allowed all of the members to take pride in the tremendous accomplishments, goals, and vision of an incredible group of people.

New research by ProtectMyID from Experian, the global information services company, has found that while flat sharing is a practical solution to finding accommodation in an overpriced market, it could mean that people are putting themselves at risk of ID Fraud from new flatmates. This research comes at a time when online searches for ‘flat sharing’ have more than quadrupled in the past year as the cost of everyday living continues to rise*.

According to the Experian study of over 5000 victims of fraud, young people, particularly those in shared rented accommodation, living in flats with communal halls or those who move frequently are the third group most at risk from identity fraud (http://www.protectmyid.co.uk/ ) with a risk that is over two and a half times the national average. Indeed a quarter of victims suspect renters, lodgers or flatmates of cashing in on shared mailboxes and undirected post**.

Peter Turner from Experian’s ProtectMyID commented, “Flat sharing and rental is fast becoming the best option for millions of Brits unable to provide the necessary deposits to make their first step up the property ladder. In the majority of cases this is a great option to meet new people and experience living away from home for the first time.

“However, as one of the fastest growing groups targeted by both professional and amateur fraudsters, we want new flat sharers to be more vigilant to the dangers and effects of ID fraud (http://www.protectmyid.co.uk/identityfraudfacts.aspx ). By sharing your home, flatmate fraudsters have all the access they need to a vast amount of your personal information in the way of post, personal documents and photos.”

Key benefits of ProtectMyID.co.uk:

Continuous ID protection (http://www.protectmyid.co.uk/howidentityprotectionworks.aspx ) monitoring for signs of potential fraudulent activity

In doing so, .CO joins a select group of registry operators leading the charge in the implementation of a suite of new security features that will help create a more secure Internet.

DNSSEC is a set of specifications for securing certain kinds of information provided by the Domain Name System (DNS) that is designed to protect the Internet from specific types of attacks, such as DNS cache poisoning, which can lead to cyber-crimes such as identity theft. With full end-to-end deployment, it will eventually allow Internet users to know with certainty that they have been directed to the precise website they intended to reach.

?We?re proud to be announcing the successful implementation of DNSSEC today,? said Nicolai Bezsonoff, COO of .CO Internet. ?.CO is one of the fastest growing domain extensions in the world, and registrants and end users can rest assured that we are committed to providing the highest level of Internet security ? both now and into the future.?

The smooth implementation of DNSSEC follows several months of careful planning and a successful test phase in January 2011. A strong partnership with Neustar, Inc., the .CO Registry?s technology services partner, was a critical success factor.

?By implementing DNSSEC so soon after the launch of .CO as a global domain, the .CO Registry has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the security and integrity of the .CO name space,” said Tim Switzer, Vice President of Domain Name Registry Services at Neustar. ?We look forward to continuing to support the .CO Registry as it plays an increasingly active role in addressing the security challenges of the 21st century — and in helping to develop the policies, standards and practices that govern the global Internet.?

Smartphones are quickly becoming the fashionable (and simplest) way for thieves to steal private data. Case in point: Google was recently forced to remove 21 popular Android apps from it?s official application website, Android Market, because the applications were built to look like useful software but acted like electronic wiretaps. At first glance, apps like Chess appear to be legitimate, but when installed, turn into a data-hijacking machine that siphons private information back to the developer.

In response to this new threat facing iPhone, BlackBerry, Droid and Windows Phone users, identity theft expert John Sileo has just released “The Smartphone Survival Guide: 10 Critical Security Tips in 10 Minutes.”

?Once you download a Trojan app? says Sileo, ?the thief has more control over your phone than you do. Your privacy is an open book? your identity, contact list, files, emails, texts, passwords? all of it. This doesn’t just threaten the individual phone owner, it threatens the organizations they work in and the data they handle every day.”

At the heart of the problem is the breathtaking convenience and efficiency provided by mobile phones that have become ?Smart? because they also function as computers, books, GPS devices, payment systems, web browsers, radios, iPods and so much more. Unfortunately, blinded by the thrill and functionality of the latest app, users rarely take the time to vet the software that can be installed in seconds, from anywhere.

?There are no significant barriers to entry, for either us OR the thieves,? says Sileo of the app-based model of acquiring new software. ?You can read about an app on a web page, download it and be using it in under a minute. And you probably didn?t even have to pay for it? at least with cash.? You?re paying dearly, Sileo maintains, by trading away private information, surfing habits, bank account numbers or company financials.

The Smartphone Survival Guide outlines the major threats posed by mobile phones with internet access and gives a range of solutions for drastically lowering risk. Sileo points out that most data stolen off of Smartphones isn’t just a technology problem:

?Despite the intoxicating power of technology, the underlying problem is always a human problem. Don?t waste energy trying to fix the gadget ? that?s someone else?s responsibility. Focus on the behaviors that allow employees to maintain a healthy balance between productivity and security. Deliberate, focused training has the highest ROI, not obsessing over the latest data leakage.?

The Smartphone Survival Guide describes a range of solutions in a quick and accessible fashion, such as:

SpyShelter, the World’s #1 Anti KeyLogging and Anti-Spyware software utility, released v5.1 today, offering even stronger protection against rogue attempts to record, capture and steal personal information to unsuspecting computer users.

Theft by way of a Keylogger is particularly dangerous because these programs reside in the background on computers without being detected. Keylogging tools record every key stroke and mouse click, then transmit that private data to the cybercriminal who planted the software. Potentially more dangerous than a computer virus, keyloggers often escape detection by normal defenses like anti-virus or anti-malware software.

The new version offers 64-bit protection for its AntiNetworkSpy feature. AntiNetworkSpy protects users from destructive programs like Zeus or Torpig while using Internet protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, FTP, POP and SMTP.

Also available in the new release is a vastly expanded internal signature base which drastically reduces the number of false alerts.

SpyShelter Stop-Logger software gives its customers a valuable tool in fighting computer crime by monitoring sensitive, private and confidential information in seven critical areas, preventing it from being transmitted unknowingly.

Offering the most effective anti-keylogger available, SpyShelter monitors and protects recording of computer screens, clipboard items, web cameras and sounds, Internet activity, mouse commands and keyboard clicks.

“Spy Shelter is an absolutely fantastic program which stopped all monitoring and spy software I’ve tested, including custom compiles where traditional anti virus failed. Spy Shelter was also able to identify and stop trojans or zero-day malware,” said John Vang, Software Tester. “Beyond that, I don’t need to worry about performance decrease, it is as light as a feather for your system resources.”

The key features of SpyShelter include:

AntiNetwork Spy Module offers 32- and 64-bit protection against dangerous SSL loggers, used in online banking and financial transactions.
Robust Anti-Kernel Mode Logger for 32-bit (the most dangerous of all keyloggers).
Light and effective, with a small footprint so SpyShelter will not hamper system performance or drain resources.
SpyShelter is available in both free and premium versions.

For more information about SpyShelter Stop-Logger and its ability to prevent keyloggers, visit http://www.SpyShelter.com. SpyShelter is available as a free version for non-commercial users and a fully-loaded premium version for businesses. A one-time fee of 24.95? licenses the computer for life.

About

SpyShelter is a computer software development and security firm with experience in monitoring and IT vulnerabilities. Their primary focus is to give its customers peace of mind and allow for safer computing without the worry of theft or cyber attacks, including identity theft and malicious use of other people’s personal data such as bank and credit card information.
