How to Protect Your Medical Group’s Private Information

November 21, 2011 By

Protect Your Medical Group's Privacy with a Bug Sweep

Recently our company was contacted by a representative from a medical group with concerns that someone was spying on them. Medical groups can be prime targets for spying from other medical groups, insurance companies, subcontracted agencies overseeing disability and workman’s comp, and pharmaceutical companies.

This representative had two reasons for suspicions. The first was someone was wondering around the building with access to different offices. Employees assumed this person was a tech and didn’t pay them any mind at first. The second suspicion was their phone system wasn’t working properly.

Security breaches in this new medical facility plus untrained employees led to a spy using a social engineering attack technique called pretexting. Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. With pretexting, the criminal creates and uses an invented scenario (the pretext) to engage a targeted victim in a manner that increases the chance the victim will divulge information or perform actions that they would not ordinarily do.

Pretexting can also be used to impersonate co-workers, or any other individual who could have perceived authority or right-to-know in the mind of the employee. In some cases, all that is needed is a voice that sounds authoritative, an earnest tone, and an ability to think on one’s feet.

With access to the facility a criminal can plant spyware, bugging devices, and have opportunities to steal confidential information. The criminal can also manipulate the phone system creating the perfect eavesdropping scenario.

Here are a few ways you can be tricked into allowing unauthorized people into your facility and giving them your confidential information.

Criminals project confidence and act like they belong in your building. If someone were walking around looking nervous and glancing from side to side, employees would be able to tell that they don’t belong. The most important thing criminals do if they’re trying to blend into any environment is to look like they belong there. They walk confidently, like they know where they’re headed, and acknowledge people, the way you would in your own office. Subconsciously employees believe that the criminal belongs there.

Be conscious of “tailgating.” The best way to get into a medical building is to go in behind someone else. This is a serious security issue for medical offices with restricted access. It’s easy for someone to slide up to the door when an employee is going in and grab it as it closes, to beg the person going in to hold it for them, or—more often—they just walk through while the person ahead of them walks in. Most of us would consider it rude to slam a door on someone or let an elevator close when someone is just a step behind us, especially if it’s a secure door where you would otherwise have to fumble for a keycard or other device to get in, so we do the nice thing and hold it open.

Criminals who have some familiarity with the medical office will dress the part. Employees can point out more quickly a criminal when they do not dress at or slightly above the dress code for the office environment. Fewer people will question a person wearing a button-down shirt and slacks in an office full of polo shirts than will call out the guy wearing cutoff jean shorts and a t-shirt in the same office. Employees should watch for people who are both overdressed and underdressed.

Train employees to be curious and ask questions. Spies might ask employees for directions, what they do, whose team they’re on, how that is going, and if recent changes in the department have impacted them at all.

Unfortunately these criminals won’t stand out when they have a relatively upbeat and positive demeanor compared to someone who’s hunched over, shifty-eyed, and ducking around corners.

You can install the best security systems in the world, but if your employees are not trained, your competition, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, or contractor for government agencies can steal confidential information that is detrimental to your medical group’s survival. A spy quietly listens and watches. They may spy for several months or until they have gathered enough information on your business to their advantage. A paracite will watch you for as long as it is profitable for them. Don’t let them profit from your business.

If your instincts are telling you that something is not quite right, you are suspicious, or otherwise your senses are alerted, contact us before it’s too late. It is best to call us when you suspect something so we can judge whether you only need advice or our immediate attention and fast response quickly and covertly activated. Let us set a trap or conduct a sweep to catch the spy.

To determine your risks and prevent security breaches in the future, M. Guadagno Associates can perform a Penetration Check and a Vulnerability Assessment.

Are Spy Cameras really for your own good?

November 7, 2011 By

While on assignment I decided to spend a little social time and enjoy the culture in Illinois.   I noticed a carton in the Carbondale ‘NightLife Comix’  Nov 3-9 issue. The carton strip was titled, “POLICE STATE FUNNIES.”

It read, “In the future if you want to drive on any highway, you must agree to place a ‘Government Surveillance Camera’ inside your vehicle.  Is this preposterous?

Kapsch Inc. the Austrian Firm that makes ‘E-Z Pass Technology’ for toll roads in 17 states has applied for a ‘Patent’ for this very thing.

WHY?  The same reason there are cameras everywhere ‘to make you safer.’

The comic goes on to show a GPS equipped with a taser device. The driver is zapped with the taser sting when the driver ‘fails to signal for a lane change.’  The taser is remotely deployed and the drive is zapped.

Even though this was a very funny cartoon and the idea may be a good thing for drivers, failing to signal by someone in front of me is just annoying.  Tasering someone goes beyond the necessary.

Intelligent people can think on this, is all the new and existing surveillance, monitoring, devices really for the purpose of ‘your safety?’

M.Guadagno Associates is available for enhancing your security as we Sweep for Spy Surveillance devices that were placed for the betterment of others who want to gather intelligence information and use it against you. Sometimes a ‘bugging device’ is right in front of you, and often unsuspecting victims fail to recognize what it is.  If you need help, call a professional ‘Spy Finder.’

Do you need a Cell Phone Spy Specialist for Electronic Detection of Cell Phone Bugging?

September 22, 2011 By

Cell Phone Bugging SpywareRemember just a few years ago, Blackberry phones were just for business people.  The  masses had basic cellphones.  Then Apple came out with its iPhone and changed the cell phone landscape.  Smartphones are really this generation’s laptop.

The Nielsen Company did a study of smartphone data usage in June 2011 and found an explosive pace in the first quarter of 2011.  Compared to the first quarter 2011, usage went up 89% with Android users creating the most demand for information.  We consumers are leaning heavily on SmartPhones for our daily life more and more.

Android is the Google open source operating system where any developer can create an app.  The good news is having so many possibilities.  The bad news is mean, malicious people out there have easy access to manipulate applications.

Most people don’t look at their smartphone like it is a laptop so they don’t consider installing anti-virus or anti-spyware protection.  As a society, we store a ton of our personal data on our smartphone.  Not far down the road, we’re going to have our credit cards, health insurance cards, etc. stored on the phone for ease of use.  What a great opportunity for cybercrimes such as identity theft.

Mobile Device causes security problems with sensitive company informationThe same technology that lets you stay in touch on-the-go can also allow others into your private world without you even knowing they’re there.

It used to be a matter of simple wiretapping, when the worst your phone could do was let someone listen in to your conversations.  Now, cell phone spying tools are more powerful weapons against your privacy.

Beware of Cell Phone Spyware

Need a tool to keep track of your kids or an errant spouse?  Try spyphone call interceptors such as FlexiSpy and Stealthphone Call Interceptor.  They are spyware for your cell phone that captures call logs, text messages, GMS/GPS Location of cell phone, and mobile Internet connections. The captured data is sent to the vendor’s server where someone can access through the web.

This software sounds like a great idea but it is ripe for abuse.  Security specialists have labeled these types of applications as a Spy Trojan and monitor devices with mobile anti-virus software.  With the “Ghost Mode” embedded, the software is completely invisible to the phone user.  Just like a key logger, the hidden interface can be accessed with a code known only by the person who installed the application.

How Does Your Cell Phone Get Infected

Spyware can install onto your cell phone from various sources.

  • Be cautious when opening an attachment from a text message sent from an unknown number.
  • Download ringtones only from reputable sites.  Spyware can be hidden inside “free” ringtones.
  • Just like with your computer, surfing the internet on your phone can open you up to spyware installing.  Stick to sites you know are safe.
  • All smartphones are Bluetooth-enabled which means easy access to secretly installing spyware.

Here is an example of how easy it is for someone to install spy software:
A woman who is targeting an executive to steal his secrets, will flirt and invite him to dinner. She can ask to use his phone because hers is about to die. He hands her his phone and she pretends to be texting while she was clicking on a  malicious link sent at the same time by an accomplice. This link installs flexispy on the target as a trustfully software (because it is on her hands). She is even allowing a “new Bluetooth connection” from a cellebrite that gain remotely all the information on the SIM/Hard disk from that phone even deleted data. Everything is less than 3 minutes.

Detecting Spyware isn’t Easy

There are dozens of bug detectors available from surveillance companies.  Restoring your cell phone to the factory settings will clear out any hidden software that’s running on your phone.

Security experts say there may be some subtle signs your phone is invaded:

  • You seem to have trouble shutting it off, or it stays lit up after you’ve powered down.
  • The phone sometimes lights up when you aren’t making or receiving a call, or using any other function.
  • You regularly hear odd background noises or clicks when you are on the phone.
  • Watch the battery life.  You probably already know how long your cell phone will last on a single charge.  If your battery starts to run low more quickly than usual this might indicate that some other software is running on your phone.
  • Are you receiving unusual SMS messages or dropped calls from unknown numbers?  A occasional occurrence doesn’t mean much, but if this starts to happen on a regular basis you should think about getting your phone checked.
  • Watch for unusual behavior from your phone when making or receiving a call.  If your phone makes unusual noises or starts to vibrate unnecessarily have it checked.  It doesn’t even have to be during a call that strange events happen.  If you phone starts to beep vibrate when it is just sitting on its own then something could be wrong.

Because of the large amounts of radio frequency (RF) activity, GMS and GPS tracking on your cell phone is getting much harder to detect and, therefore, is a growing threat.   Detecting these threats has caused the need for more sophisticated, expensive, and specialized equipment, such as Spectrum Analyzers

Protecting Yourself from Cell Phone Spyware and Bugging

Cell Phone Bugging detection is difficultMillions of dollars worth of eavesdropping devices and equipment is imported into the US each year and it continues.  Our responsibility is to educate people.  A spy does intelligence gathering for a reason and it usually isn’t good for the people they are spying on.

  • Installing software such as F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus will alert you if your phone is indeed infected with the Trojan software called FlexiSpy, instantly warning you that someone is spying.
  • If you believe that your cell phone is already infected with spyware, remove the battery immediately.  Take your phone to a local cell phone store to have the spyware removed.
  • Only download anti-spyware software from a trusted website.  Many programs claim to be anti-spyware but may actually be spyware you are unintentionally installing on your cell phone.
  • As mentioned earlier, spyware can be installed from your Bluetooth access.  Keep Bluetooth turned off on your cell phone when you are not using it.  It will save your battery power but more importantly it will prevent people sending you pictures or text messages containing spyware.
  • You can pull out the SIM Card and use it in another phone should you need to send your phone back to the manufacturer for the operating system to be reinstalled.
  • Password protect your phone.  Phones are much harder to hack if they are password protected.  This is not full-proof protection.

Third party apps can be used to be the pass key to the back door approach into a phone, to gain access to their computer, which eventually leads into the business network.  Social media apps can be very dangerous even if they are part of our social media culture.

There are presently businesses collecting information about you and your online habits, for example Ning networks such as Inside919.  With cell phones starting to replace computers, there isn’t any known perfect, full-proof protection for your cell phone.  What works today can be compromised tomorrow.

So you have taken your phone to the local retail agent for a system restore back to the original settings, however, the minute you walk out the door you could be right back to being tracked or compromised again. If you suspect your phone is tampered with again, after it was “supposedly” cleaned. There may be other problems.

We could check your phone to see if there is compromised activity going on and possibly identify the source, or person responsible. We are experts at electronic detection investigation but you will have to call us because we do not give out too many secrets over the Internet.  You never know who else is reading.

Electronic Surveillance at ATM and Gas Pumps leads to Credit Card Fraud

September 9, 2011 By
Credit Card Skimmers

Credit Card Skimmers

It seems skimmers are so sophisticated that they can even trick a US Attorney.   Jenny Durkan is the chief law enforcement office for western Washington state as well as the chair of the Justice Department’s Cybercrime Subcommittee.  The criminals picked the wrong person for credit card fraud.

Thieves have created devices that they just slip over ATM machines, gas station machines, anywhere that takes your debit card.  Thieves install the card reader along with a tiny camera pointed at the keypad to record your pin # as you enter it in.

Credit Card Skimming at ATM

Once the thief has your card scanned and the pin number, they just manufacture another credit card with the same magnetic stripe numbers on the back as yours.  They then use the new card in another machine, enter your pin and clean out your bank account.

According to electronic payments expert Richard Crone, of the 1.36 million gas pumps in the United States, an estimated 700,000 gas pumps accept pay-at-the-pump and not one of those pumps is secure against skimming.

Skimming occurs in bursts, says Mike Urban, senior director of fraud solutions at Fair Isaac Corp., the company behind the FICO credit score.  “These are periods of time during which criminals try to compromise several terminals, then they start using the card information.”  The Secret Service estimates there is $1 Billion a year lost to skimming.

It is not always possible to prevent credit card fraud from happening.  But there are a few steps you can take to make it more difficult for a crook to capture your card or card numbers and minimize the possibility.

Here are some ways to protect yourself from this crime.

Credit Card Skimmer at ATM

Skimming at ATM machines

Be familiar with and develop a routine when using a local ATM.  Look around for odd mirrors or signs that could be hiding a pinhole camera.  If you frequent the same ATM, you will be more aware if something is tampered with.

Jiggle that card slot holder to see if it’s loose or comes off.

Use one hand to cover the other hand when entering your pin # that way the camera can’t record your number.

Make sure the security cameras are trained on the ATM.  Any motion-sensing activation can be coordinated with the ATM’s camera to see if the person had a legitimate reason for being there.

Try to frequent inside ATMs instead of stand-alone outside machines.  There are less likely to be tampered with.  Employees and customers are more likely to notice thieves or skimmers.

Credit Card Skimmer at Gas Pump

Credit Card Skimmer at Gas Pump

Skimming at Gas Station pumps

Go in the store to process transactions and sign all credit card receipts.

Choose a gas station that is “open” with an attendant.  Even though the gas pumps work for pay-at-the-pump, skimmers are more likely to be used where no one is watching.

Basic Tips to avoid being a victim of Identity Theft

Use Cash.  If the thief doesn’t have access to your card, they cannot skim it.

Keep an eye on your debit/credit card anyplace where the physical card is handled, such as Restaurants, Bars, Retail Counters.  This may be hard to do but try to watch your card when the clerk or waiter takes it.  This is so easy for staff to secretly scan your card because you don’t even think about giving up your card to them.

Keep all your receipts, even the ones from the gas pump.

Budget your time to check your credit card and bank statements against your receipts.  Question anything, no matter how small, that does not match up.  Some thieves take out small amounts in hopes cardholders won’t notice.

A number of credit card companies now offer features such as email or mobile phone notification for any charges made.

Finally

John Brewer, assistant district attorney in the major fraud division of Harris County Texas, regularly prosecutes identity thieves.  “Many consumers think that shopping online is a high-risk endeavor compared to going to a brick and mortar store, but I believe the opposite,” Brewer says.  “The vast majority of cases we investigate have to do with employees at a physical store stealing your information.”

Protect yourself with these tips.  If you feel that you are being listened to or watched and might have someone “bugging” you, give us a call.  We are experts at finding bugs.

How To Create a Panic or Safe Room

August 29, 2011 By
How to create a panic or safe room

How To Create a Panic or "Safe" Room

A “Panic Room” or “Safe Room” is a fortified room inside your home that may contain supplies and surveillance equipment. A reinforced closet could make an excellent panic room or safe room from RF tracking or monitoring your discussions free from surveillance. Most security experts say that with basic communication equipment, occupants can hole up in a room for about an hour or two in case of a home invasion.

With increased terror alerts and weather-related catastrophes, basic panic rooms are becoming more popular. They’re constructed of weather-resistant materials and are stocked with gas masks and potassium iodine tablets to protect against biological and nuclear attacks. And some manufacturers claim their rooms can accommodate families for an extended stay — even as long as a month.

Besides basic provisions and a good lock, panic rooms can include any number of features, from a battery of artillery to a fully stocked wet bar. Because people are paying for privacy when constructing these types of rooms, most panic-room builders are unwilling to disclose information on provisions.

These “people vaults” are designed to be the ultimate in security with keyless entries for extra security. They range from simple rooms with reinforced doors to elaborate mini-fortresses that protect their occupants against biological and nuclear attacks, hurricanes, tornadoes and home invasions. High-end panic rooms, made with the most advanced materials, are more like luxury dens than bleak storm cellars.

The most common purpose for these rooms is to withstand hurricane- and tornado-force winds. These panic rooms are usually ground-floor closets or bathrooms whose foundations have been reinforced with steel and concrete.

Many people who build panic rooms are trying to protect things, not people. Panic rooms can hide computer hard drives or permanently house artwork, rare books and other collections. You can make your panic room into a custom-designed safe that stores your delicate artwork in an airtight, climate-controlled environment. Your computer files can be safely hidden but accessible via an exterior generator.

Depending on how much safety you want and money you have, panic rooms have a wide range of safety features. You can reinforce a closet and throw in a few emergency supplies or build a house within your house.

Costs for construction of both vary across the United States. The cost for constructing a safe room which can double as a master closet, bathroom, or utility room, inside a new home or small business can range from approximately $6,500 to $8,500. This cost range for the basic design provides an 8-foot by 8-foot safe room (approximately 64 square feet of protected space). Larger, more refined designs for greater comfort will cost more, with 14‑foot by 14-foot safe rooms ranging in cost from approximately $11,500 to $13,500. The cost of the safe room can vary significantly depending on the following factors:

  • The size of the safe room
  • The location of the safe room within the home or small business
  • The number of exterior home walls used in the construction of the safe room
  • The type of door used
  • The type of foundation on which the safe room is constructed
  • The location of the home or small business within the United States

M. Guadagno and Associates consults with clients who are thinking of constructing a panic/safe room in their new home, current residence, or business location. For more information, contact Michael Guadagno

Corporations and our Government Use Content Trackers to Follow You Online

August 2, 2011 By

History Stealing by Coporations and GovernmentIn 2008 the self-regulatory Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) created the Code of Conduct that it requires its members to receive express consent from a user before collecting “Sensitive Consumer Information”. A group of researchers at Stanford’s Security Lab tested member’s practices and how protected the public is against history stealing.

Browsers that we use to search on the internet allow the use of “cookies” which companies and the government places on your computer to track your browsing history, among other things. This piece of tracking content is used primarily by ads and beacons.

When “opting out” with a company online, that company can leave an “opt-out” cookie so that they don’t continue to track your usage. What happens when you clear your cookie cache on your browser? Will that company be allowed to track you again? This Opting-out methodology is counter-intuitive and not likely to be understood by most internet users.

Knowing whether or not you are being tracked is a little more complicated than simply guessing based on the presence of a cookie.

This idea of cookies for tracking goes to show that despite privacy laws, organizations are still circumventing the law and compromising your privacy. People might think just because there is a law, such as NAI’s Code of Conduct, tracking your browsing history doesn’t happen. Our own government, including foreign governments, may possibly be circumventing the very same law along with the excuse of government contractors doing the illegal dirty work.

This is just an example to show the need for TSCM services. We are trustworthy experts at knowing how to protect your privacy. For a free initial consultation to determine if your privacy is possibly being compromised, please contact us.

Are Your Employees’ Cell Phones Exposing Your Company to Theft and Fraud?

July 26, 2011 By

Mobile Device causes security problems with sensitive company informationIn a recent white paper by Symantec “A Window into Mobile Device Security”, they found productivity of employees increased with the mass adoption of mobile devices in business also exposed companies to security risks.

Today’s mobile devices are a mixed bag when it comes to security. Engineers have attempted to build security directly into the operating system with features such as encryption and permission-based access control. On the other hand, these devices are designed for consumers and have traded off their security to ensure usability.

Unfortunately, researchers found their measures insufficient to protect sensitive company information that regularly finds their way onto these devices. One major complication is these devices synchronize and connect with third-party services and computers of unknown security outside of your company’s control. They are potentially exposing key information that puts your business at risk of theft and fraud.

Employees bring these devices into the work environment and it has greatly improved productivity. Without realizing any potential security threat, employees access corporate resources such as calendars, contact lists, company documents, and even email. In addition, employees often sync company information with third-party cloud services, as well as their home PC. This back door connectivity results in the loss of potentially sensitive information that is out of your control.

Even though employee productivity has increased because of these devices, your company must more effectively manage security risks.

Some ways to protect your business are to:

  • Not allow employees’ personal devices be in use while within the work environment;
  • Not to let business correspondence have any way of connection to any personal device owned by an employee;
  • Sensitive meeting rooms should have all electronic personal devices banned from entering;
  • Company-owned devices should be used strictly for business only.

All electronic devices should be part of and also included in any professional technical surveillance counter measures [tscm] sweep survey for possible compromises on any business with sensitive information to protect.

Do Women Make Themselves the ‘Victim’?

July 5, 2011 By

woman on cell phoneDuring the past week, I noticed one of my female friends was frequently uploading her vacation travel plans and pictures along with other real-time information about her activities. I felt her energy and excitement and was easily able to visualize her travels along with her as her descriptions of scenery and weather were available by more than one of my mobile apps. Wow, I thought, she is telling such a nice story. Anyone could visualize along with her!

Another past acquaintance recently joined a local singles dating service (aka social dating meet up/social media with dating/meeting of people with similar interests/40 something , etc.) Her best photo is displayed along with a list of interests and material ‘likes.’ I know this is typical information shared on these sites – to attract dating prospects. But, I wondered, what about men who see this as ‘desperate women’ and ‘bait’ as they surf what is called by some, the ‘meat market?’What would be the impact?

This shift from appreciating my friend’s travel activities to a less than virtuous perspective is natural for me as I spent more than 20 years in law enforcement. I learned and know how to think like a criminal.

Other women I have noticed friend men on business social media sites for the purpose of developing a not only a business – but in some cases, a personal (dating) relationship.

How cunning the ‘criminal’ side of me thought. A sure case of ‘womengineering’ is meeting someone face to face and then making a post-acquaintance friend request. This men collecting (a term I have overheard women using) is obvious to many, but not the women who conduct this activity. Is this smart? Or is it cunning?

What does this have to do with women making themselves victims?

What these women have in common is “within the profile spectrum of women for targets.” Fantasizing about women targets is typical among the psycho minded, pervert attacker. A practiced attacker will work these women as their ‘field of prey,’ and seek to connect and gain confidence as information is exchanged. Are you starting to get the picture? If confidence isn’t established after a few exchanges and the ‘attacker’ feels rejected, you may be kept in mind for ‘later.’

You can be located by a persistent attacker, no matter how these sites protect your identification. Where you work, where you live, and where you spend your social time is available to anyone. Bragging about these connections via social media sites, tells more of a story than you may want. In no time at all, your complete profile is established. The wrong kind of profile.

I have come to learn that the old saying really is true … “what we think about and focus on, we get.” If a woman is on the prowl, collecting men with a less than virtuous intention, she is ‘being’ an exact match to the stalker. The negative, low energy she emits, even via the internet, is picked up by others with that same frequency of negative energy. Observant stalkers go after women who brag, reveal lots of personal information and become known for wanting more than a professional relationship.

Can you see the complex, in line set of circumstances that can lead up to a perfect crime? The spectrum of those attracted to this kind of woman consists of freaks, potential rapists, sociopaths, disease incubators, Facebook hussies, and collectors of men for now.

My intent in sharing this perspective stems from wanting to protect women … a positive ‘left-over’ from my years in law enforcement.

Men who stalk women on the internet savor the profile pictures they have printed. They often carry them around as ‘bragging rights’ and are shared freely.
Ladies, please consider … Geosocial Networking service, Foursquare, Gowalla, Follow Me, Check In, GPS, Google Places, and more, compromise and give away your privacy and may have you unknowingly SETTING YOURSELF UP as a victim. You may be making yourself easy to find, stalk, and assault because of what you reveal to the whole world.

I am often invited to speak to small groups about this subject in an effort to education and protect women. If you want to know more about this subject, just ask me.
