Answer 1

Steps in case of phishing:

1.Blacklist-adding the domain to DNS blacklist,can lower the impact of phishing attack.

2.security-Google safe browsing warns users to visit dangerous site.

3.tighten the net-email security and content filtering tools can hinder the no. Of spam mails to enter to user inboxes.

My view:It is mandatory for all of us to be updated with the latest antivirus to protect our mail inboxes and others.

Spam mails or msgs should not be accessed if warned.

Steps in case of hacking:

Password management software-use of one master password to automatically logging to sites.

Identify protection-collecting mails promptly, review of receipts,use shoulder surfers while using ATMs.

Hardware encryption-data encryption is a software that converts information of our PC's into unreadable form ( not readable by hackers).

As a forensic analyst:

I would like to introduce the concept of frequent awaring bells for users for protection of their information from hackers by giving them knowledge about latest protection activities.
