Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐<p>Good News, Everyone! I solved the problem. I opened Synaptic Package Manager, checked the package dependencies for TeamViewer, and discovered that <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/TeamViewer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeamViewer</span></a> on <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> recommends the Liberation <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/fonts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fonts</span></a>.</p><p>So, I re-enabled them in Font Manager, logged out and in, and launched TeamViewer, and now everything looks the way it should.</p>
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐<p>My mother called me today requesting computer support, so I installed <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/TeamViewer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeamViewer</span></a> on my new <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> system, since that's what we've been using for remote control of her MacBook. Everything works fine, except clearly TeamViewer is expecting a font I don't have enabled. The program works fine, but the text in the user interface is a mess.</p>

Getting these to work has proven torrid, & as i don't use any such HW myself, i've not enjoyed this aspect At All. The associated FOSS scanning apps in particular seem less sophisticated than his win10 one, but afaict he's now come around to the view that prolly it's also "good enough". </li><li>An unexpected showstopper came out of the blue ~month ago. We'd settled on KFedora for him. One day it crossed my mind that as a formality i should confirm that i can still successfully remotely access "his" KFedora, to continue supporting him in this new paradigm like i have for years with his windoze. To my great displeasure i found i could not! Fedora is only Wayland nowadays [which i also run on my own ArchLinux KDE host, but here i can still choose to loginto X11, whereas one cannot on KFedora].

So now it seems i shall be installing Mint Cinnamon in Sept [which did test ok with AD]. </li><li>We've tentatively scheduled Sept for when i'll travel to his place & do the conversion [he picked Sept as part of his ongoing reluctance to change, which he juggles with his understanding that in fact doing nothing is just not an option anymore]. </li></ul><p>Good luck. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DadsPooterProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadsPooterProject</span></a></p>

Erik van Straten<p>Avast antivirus blijkt Anydesk app</p><p>Bankhelpdeskfraudeurs (die telefoonnummers van banken kunnen spoofen) vertellen vaak aan slachtoffers dat er geld van hun rekening wordt gestolen, en dat zij snel im actie moeten komen om de schade te beperken.</p><p>Dit leidt bij veel mensen tot paniek waardoor zij niet helder meer kunnen denken. Een ala hulpvaardig overkomend iemand aan de telefoon is dan zeer welkom; zo iemand wordt al snel vertrouwd, vooral als de beller allerlei informatie over het slachtoffer heeft dat alleen de bank zou kunnen weten.</p><p>De beller zegt dat er gestolen wordt omdat er een computervirus op de PC of smartphone van het slachtoffer staat. Om nieuwe diefstal te voorkómen is haast geboden en moet een virusscanner van een door de beller opgegeven website worden gedownload en geïnstalleerd. Eén van de vele URLs die criminelen daarvoor opgeven luidt:</p><p> https:⧸⧸avastpdq·com</p><p>Die website wordt momenteel (met nog veel meer andere nepwebsites) gehost op een server in Rusland - met het IP-adres dat te zien is in de volgende URL: <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/193.143.1.14/relations" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/</span><span class="invisible">193.143.1.14/relations</span></a> (VirusTotal is een dochter van Google waarmee je bestanden en websites door ca. 94 verschillende virusscanners kunt laten analyseren). Scanresultaten van genoemde *website* ziet u in <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/avastpdq.com/details" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virustotal.com/gui/domain/avas</span><span class="invisible">tpdq.com/details</span></a>.</p><p>Toen ik die criminele website zojuist (met Chrome op mijn Android smartphone) opende, kon ik kiezen voor het downloaden van "Avast antivirus" voor Android of voor iOS (als ik voor die laatste kies, wordt mijn browser doorgestuurd naar <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anydesk/id1176131273" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apps.apple.com/us/app/anydesk/</span><span class="invisible">id1176131273</span></a>).</p><p>Ik heb de *Android* versie van "Avast antivirus" gedownload: die app blijkt "anydesk.apk" te heten (zie onderstaande screenshots).</p><p>Nb. het gaat om een *echte* (ongewijzigde) versie van Anydesk.</p><p>Maar weinig Nederlanders weten dat Anydesk geen virusscanner is, maar een RAT (Remote Access Tool)</p><p>En een slimme. Want, voor anderen met een internetaansluiting is het meestal onmogelijk om een netwerkverbinding met uw PC of smartphone te maken; uw modem (en mogelijk ook nog een firewall) blokkeert namelijk inkomende verbindingen (de andere kant op, van uw PC of smartphone naar een server op internet, kan matuurlijk wel).</p><p>RAT's als AnyDesk en Teamviewer werken daar omheen: zowel de app die door u gestart wordt, als de app van een cybercrimineel, maken verbinding met een centrale server - waardoor de cybercrimineel uw PC, smartphone of tablet via die server kan "overnemen". Die cybercrimineel ziet dan *uw* scherm. En wat die hufter invoert, gaat naar uw device.</p><p>Ik heb het niet getest, maar als een slachtoffer de app start, toont deze vermoedelijk een getal o.i.d. dat het slachtoffer via de telefoon aan de oplichter moet doorgeven - die daarmee de verbinding met uw device tot stand kan brengen - en bijv. uw app voor internetbankieren starten (wellicht kan dat zonder dat u dat ziet).</p><p>Druk in onderstaande plaatjes op "Alt" voor meer info.</p><p>Aanvulling 01:02: zie ook <a href="https://www.security.nl/posting/875910" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">security.nl/posting/875910</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> (en de posting bovenaan die pagina, naast de vele comments).</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Phishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Phishing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Spoofing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spoofing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AitM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AitM</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BankHelpdeskFraude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BankHelpdeskFraude</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Oplichting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oplichting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NepWebsites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NepWebsites</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OnlineOplichting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineOplichting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Avast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Avast</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Antivirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Antivirus</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Anydesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anydesk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RAT</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TeamViewer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeamViewer</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DVCerts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DVCerts</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NiemandDoetErIetsTegen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NiemandDoetErIetsTegen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cybercrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cybercrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberCriminelen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberCriminelen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Rusland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rusland</span></a></p>
