இலண்டன் தெலிக்ரபில் பயங்கரவாத நாடு நீதிக்கு முன் நிறுத்த வேண்டிய நேரம் வந்துவிட்டது .....

The Time of Judgement has arrived to the Land of Terror

Sunday, July 12, 2009, 07:30 PM GMT [Current Affairs]

International legal systems have so far failed to bring the Sri Lankan War Criminals to justice. It is time for the average Joe, an ethical shopper to say No to “Holiday Packages to Sri Lanka”, No to “Sri Lankan Airlines”, No to “Sri Lankan Cricket”, No to “Ceylon Tea”, No to “Garments or any other products made in Sri Lanka” and No to any “Organisations having commercial interests in Sri Lanka” until Sri Lanka stop the killings of the innocents with it's death squads, until the last person is set free from the death camps of Sri Lanka, until the people of Sri Lanka start to live without the fear of abductions, torture, rape and murder by the Sri Lankan State and its armed forces, Until Sri Lanka starts to treat all its citizens equally with dignity and give them the rights they deserve”

Money goes into the hands of Sri Lanka are now used to destroy individuals, families and communities therefore, it is rational, ethical, sensible and right to stop supporting a country that is determined continue with its genocide agenda, despite calls from the international community”

Death and destruction in a Terror Island

Fifty thousand innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered on the sandy beaches and in the jungles of Sri Lanka, by the Sri Lankan Military while the whole world stood back and watched.

Three hundred thousands are now locked up in the death camps of Sri Lanka. Men are tortured, Women are abused and raped, Children are psychologically tormented, foreign media is banned, aid workers are blocked and the Tamils are now let to die like flies without proper food, medicine and water. Dead bodies are thrown outside the tents and let to rot while the young and old stand in the hot sun for hours to beg for food.



They are let to languish behind barbed wires


Times UK has recently reported that fourteen hundreds are dying every week in the horror camps manly due to waterborne diseases and many preventable illnesses. The rate at which people are dying now, the whole camp will be empty just in three years time. Many who are prisoned in these camps have relatives and friends living in other parts of the country and overseas, who are willing to help.


Sri Lankan government is so adamant that it is not helping the dying Tamils and also not letting others to help.

Purpose of these Nazi style camps is to cause death and maximum destruction to an oppressed and vulnerable Tamil community that is now pleading to the Nations for help. Few camps are purposefully built for propaganda purposes in order to deceive the international community.

Horrors in Sri Lanka are sending shock waves across the World

Torture, murder, rape, forced starvation, and all kind of human rights violations in the concentration camps of Sri Lanka, are now sending shock waves across the world.

Deportations of Western reporters, Journalists and Politicians from the Sri Lankan Airport and denial of access to the death camps of Sri Lanka for aid workers are showing the face of rebellious country that is willing go to any extent to defy international humanitarian laws.

Western countries have recently been pressurising Sri Lanka to stop the abuses and State sponsored killings. US, Britain and France including many other European countries are taking all the necessary measures to send strong messages to Sri Lanka.

US $1.9 Billion IMF loan to this country is now delayed. Sri Lanka had been denied a seat on UN Human Rights Council. US are delaying aid to the displaced people till the Sri Lankan government give free access to the camps.

There are also talks about suspending Sri Lanka from the commonwealth

Can an average Joe make a difference?

I have written few articles on the subject of Sri Lankan civil war. One of the popular questions, I received from the readers was “What can the average Joe do other than writing a letter to the local MP?”

While our international legal systems are still failing to bring the culprits to justice, Average Joe might probably be in a better position to send a powerful message to countries like Sri Lanka. Joe should see and understand the bigger picture of what is happening in Sri Lanka before start doing anything about the injustice done against the innocents.

Joe living in the West is a consumer just like many other millions around the world. Any marketing professional would know about the Power of a Consumer. Joe is an ethical shopper, who has the freedom to choose where to go on a holiday, which airline to fly with, where to buy his cloths and who to bank with. Joe can meet up with many like minded people and persuade his government to stop playing sports with countries that are persecuting its people. Joe is now on the net. He has access to email, facebook, twitter and many other social networking sites. He can share his views with millions around the world.

Even a great nation like China needs to sell its products in the world market in order to feed its people. Sri Lanka that is acting arrogantly with many countries should know, that it can't keep on killing the innocents and expect the people to buy their products and services that are covered in blood.

Joe along with millions around the world should be able to convince the People of Sri Lanka that they are not safe in the hands of corrupt regimes that are even prepared to sell the soul of a nation to satisfy the cravings of the Sinhala Buddhist extremists whose only goal is to wipe out Tamils.

Sri Lanka for Dummies” is a simple Introduction to Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan war for the average Joe to get an understanding of the man made humanitarian crisis in this little island.

3) War in Vanni, that had revealed the face of the devil

Sri Lanka in a Nutshell

Sri Lanka is a tiny tropical island that was known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean and paradise on earth. This country was once very popular among the tourists but not any more.

Rulers of this country have made this place as one of the most dangerous places to visit and live on this planet. The US has recently given serious warnings to its citizens about the dangers of travelling to Sri Lanka. Westerners are no longer welcome there. Journalists and high profile diplomats are regularly deported back from the Colombo international Airport. The recent victims were Channel 4 TV journalists and Bob Rae who was once the Premier of Ontario Canada. Western embassies are frequently attacked by angry local mobs. British and Canadian High commissions became the latest targets.

Sri Lanka is a graveyard for journalists. Sri Lankan Government is using underground mafia and death squads to abduct, torture and kill journalists, aid workers and any individuals who are critical of the government. Doctors and journalists are locked up in prisons but the evil ones are rewarded and let to roam around the streets with knives and guns.



Journalist Tissainayagam in chains. Telling the truth is a crime in Sri Lanka

Tamils are the prime targets but even foreigners, Sinhalese and Muslims are not the exceptions. This country is now at the bottom of the list in terms of human rights.

Sri Lanka has murdered fourteen journalists in the last few years. More than twenty journalists have been forced out of the country. Many are locked up in jails. Newspapers are burned, TV stations are attacked, and News web sites are blocked. Even BBC and CNN had received warnings in the past from the controversial defence secretary of the country. Sri Lanka only allows reporters who write well about the government.


Senior editor and Journalist Lasantha Wickramatunga was brutally murdered by the government backed mafia

Five medical doctors, who are praised as real heroes by the international community for their tireless work during the Sri Lankan war, are now locked up in Sri Lankan jails for speaking the truth from the war zone. Sri Lankan rulers have recently paraded these doctors in front of television cameras and forced them make false statements to support the government. This is another foolish attempt by a murderous regime to hide the war crimes it had committed .We all know how Al Qaeda had paraded western hostages on TV in the past and forced them to say things that were not true.

In Sri Lanka, People disappear from their homes, schools, work places and hospitals like flies. It is not the fulfilment of rapture that is taking place according to the book of Revelation in the Bible. But the Sri Lankan regime has mastered the art of using white vans to abduct and kill anyone who is dare to question the conducts of the government.

Half burned dead bodies with hands tied at the back is a typical scene, one would be able to see quite often in Sri Lanka. Killer demons regularly come on mysterious white vans without number plates on them.

A typical Sri Lankan leader would talk like he has the whole world under his feet and he doesn’t care about outside opinions. Many of us remember the controversial Sri Lankan defence secretary of Sri Lanka who appeared on many TV channels across the globe and thundered that he had the right to bomb hospitals and schools. He had indeed ordered to bomb several hospitals in the recent war in Sri Lanka. This short tempered leader and the current military commander of Sri Lanka are directly responsible for thousands of killings in Sri Lanka.

Some of the ministers from the Jumbo cabinet of Sri Lanka have degrees from western universities. They wear crisp clean suits and speak in Queens English. But what comes out of their mouth don’t reflect the real situation in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankan rulers no longer tell the truth. According to them, the Sun raises in the West and the rooster crows only in the evenings. While murdering civilians with heavy weapons including tanks and missiles with unconventional war heads, Sri Lanka was lying to the world that they were only using light weapons.

Sri Lanka is the most militarised among the South Asian countries with 13000 military personnel per one million population. Every street corner of Sri Lanka is guarded by armed soldiers. Sri Lanka has 266K active armed personal (Total Troops 374K) which is much higher than many developed countries. [Australia (54k), Canada (65K), South Africa (56K), Norway (28K), United Kingdom (188K), Germany (248K), France (260K), Italy (230K)]



Sri Lanka has no foreign enemies. Multi barrel Rockets were used to kill thousands of Tamils in the recent war

In terms of military expenditure as percentage of GDP, Sri Lanka spends the most in South Asia. The figure is 6% in Sri Lanka which is much higher than the amount spent by its neighbours. (3.5% in Pakistan; 2.5% in India and Nepal; and 1.5% in Bangladesh)



Sri Lanka is now planning to recruit fifty thousands more for its armed forces.

Sri Lanka has now become like another Myanmar in the region. Close associations with nuclear armed China and Pakistan and friendships with Iran, Libya, and Myanmar are already giving the danger signs. Iran has indicated that it is willing to share nuclear technologies with Sri Lanka for peaceful purposes. Those who follow the current trend in the world, very well know what these peaceful purposes are.

Sri Lanka is trying to get hold of nuclear technology (to supplement its power needs). Having been turned away by India, Sri Lanka is turning to States like Iran to fulfil its nuclear ambitions. This is why Sri Lanka always backs Iran’s nuclear program

It may not be well known that Sri Lanka was instrumental in Iran acquiring nuclear technology. Some Sri Lankan businessmen and engineers are among those whose names appear in a United States blacklist over the alleged involvement in the world’s worst illicit nuclear proliferation racket, the British media reported recently.

Although, Sri Lanka is a democratic country, the majority Sinhala people support Nazi Style right wing parties. Racist politicians and military leaders are looked upon as heroes and saviours of the country. Tamils who once had their own nation are now considered as aliens and invaders even though the majority of the Tamils are the original inhabitants of this land. Politics is driven by the powers of ignorance, greed, lies and deceptions.

Today, three hundred thousands of Tamils in Sri Lanka are locked up in concentration camps and the rest live in homes that are heavily guarded by the Sri Lankan military. People who once lived dignified and prosperous lives are now treated like stray dogs. Tamil women are raped by the Sri Lankan army and young Tamil men are tortured and killed.

Tamil Rebellion against State Terrorism in Sri Lanka

Tamils, who are one of the most oppressed communities in the world, have been fighting to free themselves from the evil regimes of the country. But they have so far failed to achieve their goals. Tamils initially fought through democratic means. Democracy no longer works in favour of Tamils because the majority prefers the Tamils to be wiped out from the country.

Tamils were slaughtered in thousands with swords and knives in the buses, trains and in their own homes in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties. Frustrated Tamil youth took arms to fight against fascism. Armed rebellion has now been crushed with the help of China and India.

Tamil rebels were initially functioning like how IRA did things in the eighties but from the early 2000s they did manage to build a well disciplined conventional force with their own Air force and Navy. According to the former Chief Justice of Sri Lanka, who retired only few weeks ago, Tamil rebels were better in honouring the laws of the land than the government of Sri Lanka. For instance, Seven Sri Lankan soldiers who were prisoners of war in the rebel camps were set free by the rebels without any scratches, even at a time when Sri Lankan forces were murdering Tamil women and babies in cold blood.

Tamil Rebels and the Sri Lankan government signed a ceasefire in 2002, after the Sri Lankan forces had suffered a heavy defeat in a conventional war between both parties. Negotiations were taking place between the Tamils and the Sri Lankan government for five years, with the help of the mediators from EU, Norway, Japan and US.

Sri Lankan government suddenly withdrew from the ceasefire unilaterally in 2007, and launched a war against the rebels with help of India and the weapons it got from China and Pakistan. War broke out at a time when there were signs of peace becoming materialised in Sri Lanka according to the former Norwegian mediator Eric Solheim, who is now the Minister of Environment.

Sri Lankan army did manage to slaughter more than fifty thousand Tamil civilians including women and children within few months time. Banned weapons like cluster bombs and phosphorous bombs were used against the innocents.

War in Vanni, that had revealed the face of the devil

Vanni is a Tamil land in the north eastern region of Sri Lanka that was once flowing with milk and honey. People prospered in every thing. Many of them did farming and deep sea fishing. They were not poor. Their barns were filled with grains throughout the year. These people ate a very healthy diet and lived in homes that were located in unpolluted areas. In our terms, people of Vanni ate organic grains, vegetables, fruits, meat and fish all their lives.

Few months ago, all of a sudden, Skis of Vanni became darkened. Children stopped playing. Dancing was turned into mourning. Chinese F7s, Russian MIGs f lied over Vanni and bombed homes, hospitals, schools and farms. Cluster bombs, phosphorous bombs and other banned weapons were used against innocent civilians.




They were slaughtered in their own homes


Men, women and children were hiding inside the bunkers without adequate food and medicine for months. More than fifty thousands innocents were slaughtered. Thirty thousands were injured. Thousands of children became orphans. Wounded and maimed crawled on mud and dirt to search for water and food.



Children were hiding inside the bunkers for weeks and months


Thousands of surrendered and wounded rebels were brutally murdered. Military tanks rolled over the dying and the golden beaches of Sri Lanka were turned into red carpets with the blood of the innocents.

There were no more mourners left in the land of Vanni to mourn for the dead. Lands of the living didn’t send any comforters to the land of the dead. Hearts of the world became stones and the so called leaders of the world had once again revealed their ugly faces.




Nobody came to mourn for the dead


Number of people massacred on the beaches of Sri Lanka is almost ten times of the people died in the Tiananmen Square massacre in China.

If the war was conducted fairly according to the international laws, the outcome of the war would have been much different. Sri Lankan army defeated the rebels by using unconventional banned weapons that had caused thousands of civilian causalities and deaths.



Chemical weapons were used against the Civilians and Rebels


After killing so many thousands, the Sri Lankan government has sent the remaining to Nazi style concentration camps. Now they are dying in the death camps of Sri Lanka with lack of food and medicine. Tamil women are abused and raped by Sri Lankan military in these horror camps. Men are tortured and killed.

Although China, India and Pakistan are helping the Sri Lankan rulers, Genocide is being carried out with the complete freewill of this Nation. Sri Lankan leaders have made this beautiful country into a half naked prostitute in the India Ocean. Ministers of this country regularly fly to China and India to meet the political and military leaders of those nations. Sri Lanka has become a puppet of these superpowers with its own sweet will.

Sri Lanka is facing destruction by its own masters

People of this world are becoming more and more tolerant. Many colours and races are learning to live together in Europe and America. American people have even elected a Black president with a Muslim middle name to give a powerful message to the world.

Nations that have systems based on racial and religious supremacies should know that they are heading for isolation and destruction if they continue with their racist policies.

Here we see a country that has gone out of control and acting weirdly in the Indian Ocean. Beaches of Sri Lanka are stained with the blood of thousands men, women and children who were slaughtered by the cruel rulers of this country. There is no more media freedom. Local and foreign journalists are intimidated, prisoned and killed. Arrogant leaders of this country are confronting individuals, organisations and even nations that are opposing the killings.

Average Joe has the tools to send a message to Sri Lanka who are deliberately failing from the duties to protect its people.

Joe is conscious of the environment. He makes sure that papers, cloths and empty bottles end up in recycling bins. He is very concerned about the people living in the poorest countries on this earth. He buys fair trade tea and coffee that are produced in countries that need our help.

Joe takes his family for holidays at least once a year. As a matter of conscience, Joe will not be holidaying on the blood stained beaches of Sri Lanka where thousands of innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered by Bombs and shells. Joe will not be buying garments that are made in Sri Lanka, a country that has locked up three hundred thousands Tamils including babies, pregnant women and disabled in barbed wired concentration camps

People of Vanni, who once lived prosperously, are now left to wander like vagabonds with skin and bones in the death camps of Sri Lanka. Family ties are broken, their dignity is destroyed, and thousands of children are psychologically tormented. Many thousands have already become mental.



Money goes into the hands of Sri Lanka is used to wound and kill innocent Civilians. It is time to say "No"

Fourteen hundreds dying in the death camps of Sri Lanka in a week is a clear proof that Sri Lanka is still mass murdering Tamils. These people are not terrorists but men, women and children who also have dreams and have every right on this earth to live with dignity. They were not born to die of starvation, torture and deliberate medical negligence in the hands foolish and arrogant rulers.


Sri Lanka should know that they can’t do business with the world while slaughtering the civilians. No country prospers with the blood of the innocents. Agents of the Sri Lanlan regime who live overseas are still justifying the killings of Tamils. They should learn to show respect the follow humans because they themselves enjoy equal rights in foreign countries.

People of this world, no matter what their religion, race, colour and culture are, they all have the freedom to live without the fear of intimidation, torture rape and murder.

Time has for the international community say No to “Sri Lankan package Holidays”, No to “Sri Lankan Airlines”, No to “Sri Lankan Cricket”, No to “Ceylon Tea”, No to “Garment made in Sri Lanka” and No to “Any organisation that has commercial interests in Sri Lanka” until the killings stop and Sri Lanka come with clean hands.

We give money for Cancer Research, Save the Children, Christian Aid, Tear Fund and many other leading charities because we very well know that our money is used to protect, build and heal lives

What goes in the hands of Sri Lanka is not used to build lives but to destroy lives therefore, it is rational, ethical and sensible to stop supporting a country that is continuing with its genocide agenda with arrogance.


Sri Lanka is already facing isolation and there will be serious consequences if the leaders of this country continue to orchestrate abductions, torture, rape and killings in order to suppress the voice of the oppressed.

Destroying individuals, families and communities will eventually lead to the destruction of the whole Nation of Sri Lanka by its own masters.

உங்கள் கிரடிகார்டுகளைcredit நவீன இணையத்திருடர்களிடமிருந்த்து

உழைத்து சம்பாதித்த பணத்தை பாதுகாப்பாக வைத்துக் கொள்ள வங்கிகளில் சேமிக்கிறோம், கிரெடிட் கார்ட் அல்லது டெபிட் கார்ட் எனப்படும் பிளாஸ்டிக் பணத்தை ATM களிலும், கடைகளிலும், online shopping எனப்படும் இண்டெர்நெட் கடைகளிலும், பயணச்சீட்டு முன்பதிவு மற்றும் பல்வேறு இடங்களிலு(debit card)ம் பயன்படுத்துகிறோம்.



கிரெடிட் கார்ட் மற்றும் டெபிட் கார்ட் பயன்பாடு பெருகிக் கொண்டே வருகிறது. ஒரு வருடத்தில் 41% பயன்பாடு உயர்ந்திருக்கிறது. கிரெடிட் கார்டு, டெபிட் கார்டுகளை குறி வைத்து நடக்கும் குற்றங்களும்தான்.



இத்தகைய திருடர்களின் நோக்கம் பிறர் கணக்கிலிருக்கும் பணத்தை கார்டுகளின் மூலம் திருடுவது, வங்கிக் கணக்கிலிருந்து online ல் கொள்ளை அடிப்பது. சமகாலத் தமிழில் சொன்னால் 'அடுத்தவன் அக்கவுண்டில் ஆட்டைய போடுறது'.



ம்ம்…. எப்படி நடக்குது?

பொதுவாக தனிப்பட்ட நபரின் வங்கி சம்பந்தப்பட்ட தகவல்கள் கசிவதால் இதுபோன்ற குற்றங்கள் நடக்கிறது. எத்தனையோ வழிகளில் உங்கள் தகவல்களை 'சுட' திருடர்கள் காத்திருக்கிறார்கள்.



கார்டுகளில் ஒரு பக்கம் உங்கள் (கணக்கு வைத்திருப்பவர்) பெயர், வங்கியின் பெயர், முக்கியமான 16 இலக்க கார்டு எண் போன்றவை பொறிக்கப் பெற்றிருக்கும். மற்றொரு பக்கம் கருப்பு நிற மின் காந்த பட்டையில் மின்னணு கருவியால் படிக்கக்கூடிய தகவல்கள் அடங்கியிருக்கும். மேலும், CVV எனப்படும் Card Verification Value, கார்டின் பயன்பாடு முடிவடையும் தேதி இவையெல்லாம் பொரிக்கப் பெற்றிருக்கும். இத்தகைய தகவல்கள் கசிவதால் தான் குற்றங்கள் நடக்கின்றன.



சரி….. இதுல எத்தனை வகைதான் இருக்குது?

இந்த மாதிரி குற்றங்கள் இரண்டு வகை, முதல் வகை offline திருட்டு. அடுத்தது online திருட்டு.



Ok. அதப்பத்தி தெளிவா சொல்லுங்க.

உங்கள் கார்டு (atm/debit/credit) திருடப்பட்டு, உங்களைப் பற்றிய, உங்கள் அக்கவுண்ட் பற்றிய விவரங்களுடன் நடைபெறுவது offline குற்றம் அல்லது திருட்டு. உங்கள் பர்சை பிக்பாக்கெட் அடித்தோ, உங்கள் emailல் நுழைந்தோ, உங்கள் வீடு மற்றும் அலுவலக குப்பையிலிருந்தோ அல்லது வேறு எந்த வழியிலோ திருடர்கள் உங்கள் விவரங்களை பெறுவார்கள். இப்படி நடக்கிறது offline குற்றம்.

அதாவது உங்கள் கார்டும், அது சம்பந்தப்பட்ட தகவல்களும் இல்லாமல் offline திருட்டு நடக்காது.

இது பரவயில்லை, அடுத்து பயங்கர கொள்ளையை online குற்றத்தில் பாருங்கள்.



ஸ்… ஸபா……. இப்பவே.. கண்ண கட்டுதே…….



Online குற்றம் தான் திருடனுக்கு சுலபமான வழி, ஜாலியாக internetல் இருந்தே உங்கள் பணத்தை எந்த நேரத்திலும் கொள்ளை அடிக்கலாம்.



onlineல் திருட்டு 3 முறைகளில் நடக்கிறது



1. Phishing: திருடர்களால் உங்கள் வங்கி மற்றும் கார்டு தகவல்களுக்காக ‘தூண்டில்’ போடப்படுவது. முதலில் திருடன் உங்கள் email முகவரியைப் பெறுவான். பிறகு உங்களுக்கு உங்கள் வங்கியிலிருந்து வருவதைப் போல ஒரு mail வரும், நம்பத்தகுந்தவை போலவே இருக்கும் (இந்த mail வேறு (எந்த) மாதிரியாகவும் இருக்கலாம்). அந்த mailல் link ஒன்று தரப்பட்டிருக்கும். இதுதான் தூண்டில். அதில் நீங்கள் click செய்தால், உங்களை ஒரு log-in பக்கத்திற்கு கொண்டு செல்லும். உங்கள் வங்கியின் தளத்தைப் போலவே வடிவமைக்கப் பட்டிருக்கும். அதில் உங்கள் log-in name மற்றும் கடவுச்சொல் (password) கொடுத்து விட்டால் உங்கள் அக்கௌன்ட் (ஊ.… ஊ….) தடுமாறிவிடு(ழு)ம், balance இருக்காது.



2. Skimming: திருடர்கள் உங்கள் கார்டைப் போலவே ஒரு கார்டை தயாரிப்பார்கள். ஒரு cd யிலிருந்து மற்றொரு cd யில் தகவல்களை பதிவது போல். இதற்காகவே skimmer என்ற கருவி உள்ளது. உங்கள் கார்டை அதில் swipe செய்தால் (தேய்த்தால்) போதும். மற்றொரு வெற்று (blank) கார்டில் பிரதி எடுத்து உங்கள் அக்கௌன்டில் பணத்தை காலி செய்வார்கள். உங்கள் கார்டு க்ரெடிட் கார்டாக இருந்துவிட்டால் அதன் credit limit வரை காலி செய்து விடுவார்கள். பிறகு திருடனின் கடனை நீங்கள் தான் அடைக்க வேண்டும்.

பொருட்கள் வாங்கிவிட்டு நீங்கள் கார்டு மூலமாக பணம் செலுத்தும்போது உங்கள் பார்வையிலிருந்து மறைத்து skimmerல் தேய்ப்பார்கள். Skimming ஹோட்ட்ல்களிலும் பெட்ரோல் பங்க்களிலும் நடைபெறலாம்.



3. Application குற்றம்: திருடன் ஒரு வங்கிக் கணக்கை உங்கள் பெயரில் ஆரம்பிப்பான். அதற்கு தேவையான அனைத்து ஆவணங்களையும் (ரசீதுகள், வங்கி கணக்குகள் மற்றும் பல ) திருடி கிரெடிட் கார்டு பெற்று செலவு செய்தால் நீங்கள்தான் வங்கிக்கு திருப்பிச் செலுத்தவேண்டும்.

உக்காந்து யோசிப்பாங்களோ…..

இதுல இருந்து எப்படி escape ஆகிறது?

Alert ஆ இருக்கணும்.

* நீங்கள் கிரெடிட் கார்ட் அல்லது டெபிட் கார்டுக்கு விண்ணப்பிக்கும் போது தேவைப்படும் ஆவணங்களை நகல்களாக கொடுக்கவும். மேலும் அந்த நகல்களில் உங்கள் கையொப்பம், தேதி, எதற்காக அளித்தது என்றும் எழுதி விண்ணப்பிக்கலாம்.
* உங்கள் வங்கி மற்றும் கிரெடிட் கார்டு கணக்குகளை வாரத்திற்கு ஒரு முறையேனும் பணப்பரிமாற்ற ரசீதுகளுடன் சரிபார்த்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள். Internet banking வசதி இருந்தால் பணப்பரிமாற்ற்ங்களை பார்த்துக்கொள்வது எளிது.
* சந்தேகிக்கும் படி ஏதேனும் உங்கள் கணக்கில் நடந்திருந்தால் உடனடியாக வங்கியை தொடர்பு கொள்ளுங்கள். தவறான பரிமாற்றம் இருந்தால் புகார் அளிக்க தாமதம் வேண்டாம். இது பாதிப்புகளை குறைக்கவும், தவறை கண்டுபிடிக்கவும் உதவும்.
* அனைத்து பழைய வங்கி ரசீதுகள், உங்கள் பெயர் மற்றும் முகவரி உள்ள ரசீதுகளை அப்புறப்படுத்துமுன் கிழித்துவிடுங்கள். இது Application குற்றம் நடக்காமல் தவிர்க்கும்.
* எளிதாக யூகிக்க முடியாத password ஐ பயன்படுத்தவும். பெயர், பிறந்த தேதி, வண்டி எண் இதுபோன்றவற்றை password ல் பயன்படுத்த வேண்டாம்.
* ஒரே passwordஐ தொடர்ந்து பயன்படுத்த வேண்டாம். மாற்றிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.
* கார்டின் பின்புறமுள்ள CVV எண்ணை மனதில் பதிய வைத்துக்கொண்டு அழித்து விடவும்.
* உங்கள் பரிமாற்றம் குறித்த SMS மற்றும் email alert களுக்கு வங்கியில் பதிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள்.
* கடைகளில் கார்டு மூலமாக பணம் செலுத்தும்போது, கார்டை உங்கள் பார்வையிலிருந்து மறைக்காமல் பார்த்துக்கொள்ளவும்.
* websiteல் பணப்பரிமாற்றம் செய்யும் போது அந்த websiteன் நம்பகத்தன்மைக்கு VISA அல்லது Master card secure code உள்ளதா என்று கவனிக்கவும்.
* ATMல் பணம் எடுக்கும்போது வேறு யாரையும் உள்ளே விட வேண்டாம்.
* உங்கள் கார்டை வேறு யாரிடமும் கொடுக்க வேண்டாம்.
* PIN எண்ணை எழுதி வைக்க வேண்டாம். எழுதினாலும், கார்டுடன் வைக்க வேண்டாம்.
* கார்டு தொலைந்து போனால், உடனடியாக வங்கியில் தெரிவித்து கார்டை முடக்கி (block) விடவும்.





திருடர்கள் இன்னும் பல்வேறு புது வழிகளில் திருட முயற்சி செய்வார்கள். நாம் மிகவும் கவனமாக இருக்க வேண்டும். நவீன பாதுகாப்பு வழிமுறைகளை தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும்.






உங்கள் கருத்துக்கள் மற்றும் இந்த கட்டுரையில் விட்டுப்போன அல்லது புதிய தகவல்களை தெரிவிக்கவும்.

உங்கள் கணணி வைரசு பிடித்துள்ளது என கவலைப்படுகிரிர்களா?

What to Do If Your Computer Is Infected

Sometimes even an experienced user will not realise that a computer is infected with a virus. This is because viruses can hide among regular files, or camoflage themselves as standard files. This section contains a detailed discussion of the symptoms of virus infection, how to recover data after a virus attack and how to prevent data from being corrupted by malware.
Symptoms of infection

There are a number of symptoms which indicate that your computer has been infected. If you notice "strange things" happening to your computer, namely:

* unexpected messages or images are suddenly displayed
* unusual sounds or music played at random
* your CD-ROM drive mysteriously opens and closes
* programs suddenly start on your computer
* you receive notification from your firewall that some applications have attempted to connect to the Internet, although you did not initiate this, then it is very likely that your computer has been infected by a virus

Additionally, there are some typical symptoms which indicate that your computer has been infected via email:

* your friends mention that they have received messages from your address which you know you did not send
* your mailbox contains a lot of messages without a sender's e-mail address or message header

These problems, however, may not be caused by viruses. For example, infected messages that are supposedly coming from your address can actually be sent from a different computer.

There is a range of secondary symptoms which indicate that your computer may be infected:

* your computer freezes frequently or encounters errors
* your computer slows down when programs are started
* the operating system is unable to load
* files and folders have been deleted or their content has changed
* your hard drive is accessed too often (the light on your main unit flashes rapidly)
* Microsoft Internet Explorer freezes or functions erratically e.g. you cannot close the application window

90% of the time the symptoms listed above indicate a hardware or software problem. Although such symptoms are unlikely to be caused by a virus, you should use your antivirus software to scan your computer fully.
What you should do if you notice symptoms of infection

If you notice that your computer is functioning erratically

1. Don't panic! This golden rule may prevent the loss of important data stored in your computer and help you avoid unnecessary stress.
2. Disconnect your computer from the Internet.
3. If your computer is connected to a Local Area Network, disconnect it.
4. If the computer cannot boot from the hard drive (error at startup), try to start the system in Safe Mode or from the Windows boot disk
5. Before taking any action, back up all critical data to an external drive (a floppy disk, CD, flash memory, etc.).
6. Install antivirus software if you do not have it installed.
7. Download the latest updates for your antivirus database. If possible, do not use the infected computer to download updates, but use a friend's computer, or a computer at your office, an Internet cafe, etc. This is important because if you are connected to the Internet, a virus can send important information to third parties or may try to send itself to all email addresses in your address book. You may also be able to obtain updates for your antivirus software on CD-ROM from the software vendors or authorized dealers.
8. Perform a full system scan.

If no viruses are found during a scan

If no viruses are found during the scan and the symptoms that alarmed you are classifed, you probably have no reason to worry. Check all hardware and software installed in your computer. Download Windows patches using Windows Update. Deinstall all unlicensed software from your computer and clean your hard drives of any junk files.
If viruses are found during a scan

A good antivirus solution will notify you if viruses are found during a scan, and offer several options for dealing with infected objects.

In the vast majority of cases, personal computers are infected by worms, Trojan programs, or viruses. In most cases, lost data can be successfully recovered.

1. A good antivirus solution will provide the option to disinfect for infected objects, quarantine possibly infected objects and delete worms and Trojans. A report will provide the names of the malicious software discovered on your computer.
2. In some cases, you may need a special utility to recover data that have been corrupted. Visit your antivirus software vendor's site, and search for information about the virus, Trojan or worm which has infected your computer. Download any special utilities if these are available.
3. If your computer has been infected by viruses that exploit Microsoft Outlook Express vulnerabilities, you can fully clean your computer by disinfecting all infected objects, and then scanning and disinfecting the mail client's databases. This ensures that the malicious programs cannot be reactivated when messages which were infected prior to scanning are re-opened. You should also download and install security patches for Microsoft Outlook Express.
4. Unfortunately, some viruses cannot be removed from infected objects. Some of these viruses may corrupt information on your computer when infecting, and it may not be possible to restore this information. If a virus cannot be removed from a file, the file should be deleted.

If your computer has suffered a severe virus attack

Some viruses and Trojans can cause severe damage to your computer:

1. If you cannot boot from your hard drive (error at startup), try to boot from the Windows rescue disk. If the system can not recognize your hard drive, the virus has damaged the disk partition table. In this case, try to recover the partition table using scandisk, a standard Windows program. If this does not help, contact a computer data recovery service. Your computer vendor should be able to provide contact details for such services.

If you have a disk management utility installed, some of your logical drives may be unavailable when you boot from the rescue disk. In this case, you should disinfect all accessible drives, reboot from the system hard drive and disinfect the remaining logical drives.

2. Recover corrupted files and applications using backup copies after you have scanned the drive containing this data.

Diagnosing the problem using standard Windows tools

Although this is not recommended unless you are an experience user, you may wish to:

* check the integrity of the file system on your hard drive (using CHKDSK program) and repair file system errors. If there are a large number of errors, you must backup the most important files to removable storage media before fixing the errors
* scan your computer after booting from the Windows rescue disk
* use other standard Windows tools, for example, the scandisk utility

For more details on using these utilities, refer to the Windows Help topics.
If nothing helps

If the symptoms described above persist even after you have scanned your computer, and checked all installed hardware and software and your hard drive using Windows utilities, you should send a message with a full description of the problem to your antivirus vendor's technical support department.

Some antivirus software developers will analyse infected files submitted by users.
After you have eradicated the infection

Once you have eradicated the infection, scan all disks and removable storage media that may be infected by the virus.

Make sure that you have appropriately configured antivirus software installed on your computer.

Practice safe computing.

All of these measures will help prevent your computer getting infected in the future.
