How to disable Gmail new feature which allows anyone to send you email without knowing your email

No Comments »

 

Last week, Google announced that Gmail users can email their Google+ connections without knowing their email address first. For some, it’s an easy way to stay in touch. For others, it’s a ticket to unwanted email. However you feel, here’s how to turn the feature off, or set it so only the people you want can use it.

Now that the new feature has rolled out to Gmail users (although it hasn’t gotten to Google Apps users, as far as we can see), controlling who can email you is pretty simple:

  • Click here to open the General tab in your Gmail Settings.
  • Scroll down to Email via Google+.
  • Click the drop-down and select your preferred option. “Circles” (which was the default for me) only allows people in your circles—not those who have circled you—to contact you. “Extended circles” allows friends of your friends to email you. “Anyone on Google+” is as the name implies, and we’d suggest avoiding it. To turn the feature off completely, select “No one.”
  • Scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

That’s it.

Fighthing Google Groups Spam

2 Comments »

 

Recently, in Pakistan many companies have started offering email marketing.
These companies collect email data from various sources, and then start sending emails in bulk.

Majority of these email marketing companies are using Google groups to send emails.
Google groups enables them to build an email database and thru these groups then can send bulk emails.

Many people have complained about being added without their consent and receiving several emails on daily basis. Because of a Ban/unban bug in Google Groups, I myself reported Google to fix that bug, but no response yet from their side.

Here is how you can unsubscribe google groups, and make sure that no one can add you again.

Create an account on Google at : http://accounts.google.com
You can use your company email address to create an account.
Google will send you verification email which you should verify.

Once you create the account, you will see the main dashboard page.
Add as many emails as you want in the same account ( usually the ones which are receiving SPAM mails from Google groups)

Once you have added all the accounts.
Go to dashboard –

At the lower part of the screen there is a link for GROUPS
Click on the link.

On the lower right hand side of the screen, you will find the option for “manage subscription”
Or Open : http://groups.google.com (without logging off, off-course)

GoogleGroups

Click on   My Groups

Once you click on that link, you will see how many companies / groups have added your emails address.

Click on the group which subscribed you without your permission or you don’t want to be part of that group.

Group-Link

Click “My Membership” from here you can select the option to unsubscribe from that mailing list.
That’s it !!! and now you are done !!

Also, from the User Preference option (click on settings icon settings):-

usersettings

You can enable the option to :

  • not to allow any other company to add you
  • not to send any other Google group emails.

The Google group spam has been there for a while and many people have been asking me about how to avoid the spam.

I hope this will help to unsubscribe and reduce the spam from Google groups.


Hacker’s Interview – behind Comodo and DigiNotar hacking

4 Comments »

 

Comodo is one of the largest SSL and Code Signing Certificate provider, some Comodo certificates were hacked earlier this year and now ComodoHacker  claimed hacking DigiNotar a Dutch Code Signing/SSL provider company.

Meanwhile, the fallout from the hack continues. DigiNotar has, in effect, lost its status as a trusted root certificate authority. Its certificates have been blacklisted by Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and Apple.

With this hack the hacker can intercept all encrypted communications of Windows Update and other microsoft services, Gmail , Mozilla based  and Apple services without user knowledge.

Also Microsoft and Firefox  just released a security update to block all DigiNotar based certificates. (Kindly update your systems now)

ComodoHacker also justifed his attack on the Dutch certificate authority by blaming the Dutch for the murder of 8,000 muslims at Serbian hands in Srebrenica; "It's enough for Dutch government for now, to understand that 1 Muslim soldier worth 10000 Dutch government."

Here is the Interview of the Iranian Hacker who was behind Comodo and DigiNotar hacking.

 

Hi

I have received around 25 interview requests, I'll give response to all requests, I'll give interviews to all.

Just to make some points which I see around in internet about me and in some interview questions:

a) I'm single person, do not AGAIN try to make an ARMY out of me in Iran. If someone in Iran used certs I have generated, I'm not one who should explain.

b) This attack was really more sophisticated than simple Stuxnet worm. 0-days? I already have discovered similar bugs, trojan? I already wrote most sophisticated undetectable ring0 and ring3 rootkit (works together), signing certificates? huh, man! I have around 300 code signing certificates and a lot of SSL certs with again code signing permission, look at Google's cert, I have code signing privilege! You see? I owned an entire computer network of DigiNotar with 5-6 layer inside which have no ANY connection to internet, I have so much to explain, but later… You have to wait!

c) I still have access to 4 more CAs, I just named one and I re-name it: GlobalSign, StartCom was lucky enough, I already connected to their HSM, got access to their HSM, sent my request, but lucky Eddy (CEO) was sitting behind HSM and was doing manual verification.

d) I'm able to issue windows update, Microsoft's statement about Windows Update and that I can't issue such update is totally false! I already reversed ENTIRE windows update protocol, how it reads XMLs via SSL which includes URL, KB no, SHA-1 hash of file for each update, how it verifies that downloaded file is signed using WinVerifyTrust API, and… Simply I can issue updates via windows update! You see? I'm so smart, sharp, dangerous, powerful, etc. huh?

I'll talk about more stuff later. May I also start a web hacking course for Anonymous and Lulzsec and friends of them, Rootkit development for Stuxnet developers, 0-day vuln. assessment in Windows and Linux environment for Stuxnet developers and other hackers too. huh? What do you think?

Dutch government is paying what they did 16 years ago about Srebrenica, you don't have any more e-Government huh? You turned to age of papers and photocopy machines and hand signatures and seals? Oh, sorry! But have you ever thought about Srebrenica? 8000 for 30? Unforgivable… Never!

I heard also that Dutch government tries to gather documents and make a compliment against Iran, really? Shame on you man! Have you been in court for Srebrenica? Who should file compliment for Srebrenica? You should pay, these are consequences of Srebrenica, just know it! This is consequence of fighting with Islam and Muslims in your parliament.

WOOOOORLLLLDDD! Wait for me, you have so much more SHOCKINGS to see from me! From a person who came to this world just 21 years ago! JUST WAIT!
