<Title>Fake Advertisements and CDC References</Title>
<Tagline>Just because it's on the web or offered doesn't make it real</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>The Digital Citizens Alliance (DCA) has issued a report on the presence of advertisements for medical supplies, including a vaccine for Covid-19 (as of 4/7/2020 there is no such vaccine).   These advertisements frequently appear on YouTube and try to add authenticity to their design by including a link to the website of the Center for Disease Control (CDC).   Advertising a non-existent product is a pretty clear tip-off that something is wrong, but some vendors may offer things that actually exist, such as surgical masks.  It is also important to note that even if a vendor offers a real product on their website, it doesn’t mean they have any in stock to ship to you.  </div><div><br></div><div>After contacting some of the vendors,  the DCA noted other peculiarities.  One vendor, for instance, refused payment by credit cards but offered to accept other payment methods such as PayPal, gift cards, and BitCoin.  Generally, purchasing with credit cards is safer than using many other payment methods.  Most credit cards provide purchase protection against many forms of fraud and allow you to dispute charges when you don't receive an item or the wrong amount is charged.  </div><div><br></div><div>The CDC link under the videos was valid and took the viewer to the latest information from the CDC.  The concern is that people may take this link as some sort of certification by the CDC.  Please note that anyone can insert a link to anything on their website, and the presence of a link on a a web page does not indicate a relationship, certification, or endorsement.  Links to trusted institutions are useless for authentication.</div><div><br></div><div>For more information, please check out:  </div><div><a href="https://www.digitalcitizensalliance.org/clientuploads/directory/Reports/DCA_Corona_YouTube_Vaccines.pdf">https://www.digitalcitizensalliance.org/clientuploads/directory/Reports/DCA_Corona_YouTube_Vaccines.pdf</a></div><div><br></div></div>

    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Yesterday morning, between 8:45am and 10:00am, several UMBC users received DocuSign messages offering access to a document called “News Update.pdf” with a button labeled “View Document Now”.  </span></p><br><p><span>The From address of the email “</span><a href="mailto:dse_docusign2@docusign.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>dse_docusign2@docusign.umbc.edu</span></a><span>” was forged.  This message did not originate from the UMBC’s DocuSign system.  It is, however, an unusually good design for a phishing attack.</span></p><br><p><span>In the current work climate, it is easy to overlook unusual features of messages we get in our UMBC email inboxes.  We are also using tools, like Docusign, more than ever.  There are people who will try to take advantage of that.  While the source of this message is currently under investigation, DoIT wanted to share some of the key features of this message that raise suspicions about its origin.</span></p><br><br><p><span>Example of </span><span>Malicious DocuSign Forgery</span><span>:</span></p><br><br><div><table><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span><span><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/pf7f-GQkMLl5bslm69aYUUHK7qbHgtSnZRhoWsLXkKzvGau2LE7-dnBBujZ9lUThFiX7Zo71l3MWtoAiYcOOMLtxqsJRZ5iUOlhecoApumNy1LXuSds-pD4x30-TbMOvOVWSNWl2" width="610" height="240" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></span></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br><br><p><span>In the example above there are some tell-tale signs that should raise suspicions.  </span></p><br><ul><li><p><span>The message begins with the salutation “DocuSign,” and is from “The DocuSign Team”.  They seem to be addressing themselves.</span></p></li><li><p><span>There is no “DocuSign Team”.  DocuSign notifications are from UMBC staff.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The From: header in the upper left says “</span><a href="mailto:dse_docusign2@docusign.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>dse_docusign2@docusign.umbc.edu</span></a><span>”.  In an actual docusign message, that header would be something like “</span><span>Andy Johnston via DocuSign &lt;<a href="mailto:dse_na2@docusign.net">dse_na2@docusign.net</a>&gt;</span><span>”</span></p></li><li><p><span>DocuSign message subjects normally start with the words “Please DocuSign”.  This one does not.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The point of DocuSign is to be able to verify, by signing, that you have received a document.  There is no reason to do that for a news update.  UMBC News is sent out in regular email messages.</span></p></li></ul><h3><span>Did You Click on the Button?</span></h3><p><span>If you are one of the people who got this message and clicked on the button, you should have gotten this message:</span></p><br><p><span><span><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Uux4FYix2Ex-T7YqaV8r4CJgGLHzJYc0xmXrg9RHe7i3mLvbRCh2q2bmz4AjlshFYc5YwAflolmofpITX8Q5mnrcpq8CDfRmjoicVp1smOsBxsGVCnhUESo7v6QQEZFYyj-Uusee" width="624" height="484" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></span></span></p><br><span>If you selected ‘Proceed’, you would probably have gotten a message that the page was unreachable or the link was invalid.  If you got anything else, please submit a ticket to </span><a href="mailto:security@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>security@umbc.edu</span></a><span> so that we can contact you.</span></span></div>

<Title>Home Network Security</Title>
<Tagline>As we all work and study at home, we need to stay secure.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>If you are part of the UMBC community and are reading this in the spring of 2020, then you are very likely working and/or teaching and/or learning from home over the Internet.  In most cases, you have an Internet provider such as Comcast or Verizon and you have a router in your home to connect to them.  The router is your gateway to the Internet.  It is also the Internet’s gateway to you. (See links below for information about  recently discovered vulnerabilities in home routers.)</div><div><br></div><div><u>The Basics</u></div><div>For most people, the home router does two things.  </div><div><ol><li>It creates a small network that your devices can access either through WiFi or through a cable physically connected to the router.</li><li>It also connects that little network to your provider and, through them, to the Internet.</li></ol></div><div>Your router comes out of the box pretty much ready to go to work for you, but it’s not usually as secure as it could or should be.  There are a number of settings, especially in older routers, that should be verified or changed to make sure that:</div><div><ul><li>No one joins your small home network without your knowledge and permission.</li><li>No one out on the Internet can tell the router to behave in ways you don’t want it to.</li></ul></div><div>How you view and change these settings will vary with the make and model of your router.  There are some links at the end which may help you, but your best bet is to get the make and model of your router (usually printed on the back or the bottom) and search for them on Google, Bing, or some other search service.  Include terms like “setup”, “manual” and “secure”.  Try to use a site belonging to the router’s manufacturer.  (You will probably be accessing your router through a web browser on your home network.)</div><div><br></div><div>Here is an initial to-do list:</div><div><ul><li>Secure your wireless connection</li><ul><li>This is the connection between your wireless devices (laptop, tablet, etc.) and your router on the “small network” in your house.  Make sure encryption is enabled and set to WPA2 or WPA3.  If there is an option for WPS encryption, disable it if possible.  If not possible, consider getting a new router.</li></ul><li>Change the router’s administrative password</li><ul><li>There are two different passwords associated with your router.  There’s your WiFi password that is entered in every device on your home WiFi network, and there’s that administrative password that you use to go into your router to view and change its settings.  Modern routers often come with pre-set WiFi passwords.</li></ul><li>Update your router’s firmware</li><ul><li>If you’re a Windows user, you have dealt with software updates since you first booted the machine.  This is much the same.   Precisely how you update your router depends on its make and model. If your router has an auto-update feature, you should probably use it.</li></ul><li>MAC filtering</li><ul><li>This is not about Apple computers.  Each wifi device, that connects with your router, no matter what kind of device it is, has a unique MAC address that you normally don’t see but can discover.  This allows you to refuse access to all devices other than those whose MAC addresses you explicitly ‘whitelist’ (allow) in your router.  If you’re comfortable doing this, consider implementing it..  WARNING: There’s a security vs. convenience trade-off here. You will have to whitelist every new device that you want to appear on your home network.  </li></ul><li>If your router has a ‘remote management’ setting, turn it off.</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>Links for more information:</div><div><ul><li><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/secure-your-wi-fi-router/">https://www.wired.com/story/secure-your-wi-fi-router/</a></li><li><a href="https://lifehacker.com/how-to-make-your-wifi-router-as-secure-as-possible-1827695547">https://lifehacker.com/how-to-make-your-wifi-router-as-secure-as-possible-1827695547</a></li><li><a href="https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/03/online-security-tips-working-home">https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/03/online-security-tips-working-home</a></li><li><a href="https://www.cisecurity.org/white-papers/cis-controls-telework-and-small-office-network-security-guide/">https://www.cisecurity.org/white-papers/cis-controls-telework-and-small-office-network-security-guide/</a></li></ul></div><div>Links for more information about recently discovered vulnerabilities in home routers:</div><div><ul><li><a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/03/new-attack-on-home-routers-sends-users-to-spoofed-sites-that-push-malware/">https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/03/new-attack-on-home-routers-sends-users-to-spoofed-sites-that-push-malware/</a></li><li><a href="https://labs.bitdefender.com/2020/03/new-router-dns-hijacking-attacks-abuse-bitbucket-to-host-infostealer/">https://labs.bitdefender.com/2020/03/new-router-dns-hijacking-attacks-abuse-bitbucket-to-host-infostealer/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-hijack-routers-dns-to-spread-malicious-covid-19-apps/">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-hijack-routers-dns-to-spread-malicious-covid-19-apps/</a></li></ul></div><div><br></div></div>
