Researchers state that, traveling is highly beneficial for your physical, mental and emotional health as well. So pack your bags and break off your normal routine because here are some wonderful benefits of traveling:
Traveling can actually keep you healthier. When you travel, you exposed yourself to a different environment which creates stronger antibodies and helps boosts your immune system significantly. Moreover, studies found that people who travel at least twice a year show a lower risk of suffering from a heart attack than those who do not take an annual vacation. Traveling can relieve your stress. Although encountering delays or losing baggage in a foreign airport can sure boost someone’s anxiety, it has been scientifically proven that travel can lower stress levels, increase your happiness and decrease your depression. And these benefits tend to last for weeks after the trip has ended. It is best to opt for a chauffeur service once your flight landed to avoid the stress of worrying how to reach your onward destinations.

Traveling can enhance a person’s creativity. Studies say that traveling in a foreign place can also make you more creative. Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School who studies the relation between creativity and international travel stated that foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility, depth and integration of thought, the ability to make deep connections between different forms. The new language, tastes, sensations, sounds, smells and environment sparks different synapses in the brain that causes the mind to revitalize and get more creative. Traveling can boost happiness and satisfaction Traveling is an ideal source of happiness for each and every one of us. In a study, the boost in excitement and happiness comes from simple acts of planning the vacation, packing your outfits and planning your itinerary.

GALVESTON, Texas - If shiplap, chandeliers, and original hardwood floors are your real-estate jam, then an upcoming event could have you switching off HGTV and taking a trip to Galveston.
The Galveston Historical Foundation is holding its 43rd annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour on May 6, 7, 13 and 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are $30 for non-members before May 1, and $35 after and are available online at www.galvestonhistory.org. Members of Galveston Historical Foundation can purchase specially priced $25 tickets. Take a sneak peek into some of the historic homes that will be open for tours: “The annual homes tour highlights the island’s architecture crossing decades of construction and design as well as houses both large and small. Galveston offers a unique collection of late 19th and early 20th century houses that will intrigue visitors and captivate historic house buffs,” said Dwayne Jones, Galveston Historical Foundation’s executive director. 2017 HOMES ON TOUR 1868 Charles and Susan Hurley House - 1328 Ball Homes Tour Cover House Charles Hurley, commission merchant and former mayor of Galveston, owned this two-story Southern townhouse with Greek Revival features. Hurley and his family occupied the property until the late 1880s. Heavily damaged during the 1900 Storm, the house was rebuilt with an addition in 1910. c1880 Alley House - 811 Broadway Galveston Historical Foundation relocated this vernacular two-room alley house from the 1100 block of Market Street to its current location in 2009. The side-gabled wood frame building represents a typical alley house prevalent in Galveston since the 1840s. Saved from demolition by relocation, the city of Galveston designated the building a historic landmark in 2010. 1904 Thomas and Maggie Bollinger House - 1601 Post Office Grocery merchant Thomas Bollinger and his wife, Maggie, were the first residents of this two-story Victorian house. The couple rented the house for several years and then purchased the property in 1907. The building’s most prominent feature is a wrap-around double gallery porch that addresses its corner lot in Galveston’s historic East End neighborhood. 1905 James and Emma Davis House - 1915 Sealy James Jefferson Davis, former vice president and general manager of the Galveston Wharves, commissioned Galveston architect George B. Stowe to design this two-story house with Colonial Revival influences for use as his family residence. Born and raised in Galveston, Stowe had one of the largest architectural offices in the state and was highly regarded as a leader in his profession. 1899 William and Ella Dugey House - 3007 Avenue P William Dugey commissioned this two-story side-hall Victorian townhouse that was completed in 1899 just before the 1900 storm. After substantial damage from the storm, he rebuilt it in 1901 and occupied it for a number of years. The large two-over-two windows on the principal facade open to a double gallery porch that faces north. Dugey was a cotton screwman who worked on the wharves compressing bales of cotton onto ocean-going vessels. 916 Hans and Marguerite Guldmann House - 1715 35th Street Dallas architectural firm C. D. Hill & Company designed a 5,500-square-foot brick house for businessman and former Danish Consul, Hans Guldmann. Sitting on more than one acre, the two-story residence features both Mission and Craftsman design elements including a tile roof, wide over-hanging eaves revealing exposed rafter tails, and a double gallery supported by square columns. 1925 Joseph and Helen Swiff House - 1602 25th Street Russian immigrant Joseph Swiff commissioned Czechoslovakian architect Rudolph Mudrak to design this Mission style house in 1925. The one-story hollow tile and brick building with a stucco finish contains ten rooms and nineteen closets, four of which were cedar lined. Swiff operated J. Swiff & Co., a cotton, bagging, and lumber business in Galveston. He maintained ownership of the property until 1970. 1926 Harry and Harriet Wetmore House - 1606 25th Street Galveston harbor pilot Capt. Harry Wetmore contracted with Johnson Brothers Construction Company to erect a red-brick, two-story Colonial Revival house during the summer of 1926. The property is noted by a prominent front entry supported by slender columns and a side elevation portecochere leading to a rear two-story garage and servant’s quarters. Wetmore came to Galveston in 1913 as a captain for the Morgan Steamship Lines. He and his family maintained ownership of the property until 1965. 1915 Henry Hildebrand House - 3624 Avenue R 1/2 Rehabilitation in Progress, 1st Weekend Only Henry Hildebrand purchased a two-story kit house from the Aladdin House Company in 1915. The property’s original insurance record noted that “The Fairmont” house pattern arrived in Galveston by train “ready to nail together.” Donated to Galveston Historical Foundation in 2015 - and featured during the 2016 Historic Homes Tour, the recently completed rehabilitation of the house is supported through GHF’s Revolving Fund. The fund is a neighborhood revitalization initiative focused on rehabilitating vacant, endangered, and underutilized historic buildings in Galveston. 1920 City National Bank Building - 2219 Market Rehabilitation in Progress, 2nd Weekend Only Chicago architects Weary & Alford designed a two-story neoclassical stone building to house William L. Moody Jr.’s City National Bank. Renamed Moody National Bank in 1953, banking operations we’re conducted from the building until 1962. From 1976 until 2008, the building was used as a museum. It is currently being rehabilitated for use as a private event venue. Eastern, Inova, and alternative insurance. A history of security and stability.
The concept of alternative insurance, commonly known as “captives,” has been around as long as insurance itself.1 The idea dates back to the 1600s when ship owners sat down at Lloyd’s Coffee House in London to discuss common sense solutions to protecting their vessels and cargo from financial loss. The rest is “Lloyd’s of London” history. The modern day “captive” was born in 1958 by insurance innovator Fred Reiss, when he formed a “self-insurance” company to insulate his first client from the insecurities and instabilities of traditional insurance. As a wholly owned subsidiary located in Bermuda, this insurance company was literally a “captive” of the parent. In recent decades, captives’ inherent security and stability have garnered widespread global acceptance and popularity. More than 90% of Fortune 500 companies have one or more captives. The ever-evolving sophistication of captives makes them attractive solutions for organizations of all types and sizes in search of an alternative to traditional insurance. Eastern and Inova. True leadership in alternative insurance. Inova's leadership in alternative insurance began in March 1998 when Cayman-based Eastern Re Ltd. became the first Segregated Portfolio Company (SPC) authorized by the Cayman Island Monetary Authority (CIMA). An SPC is a single legal entity comprised of individual “protected cells” that protect each insured organization’s assets and liabilities within a secure, stable environment. Inova’s Eastern Re was the first SPC to be assigned a financial strength rating by A.M. Best Company. On August 13, 2014, A.M. Best Company reaffirmed Eastern Re’s A (Excellent) financial strength rating. Inova's strength is reinforced by Eastern’s solid partnerships with globally respected industry leaders, including Lloyd’s of London (insurer/reinsurer), Global Captive Management Ltd. (insurance manager), Ernst & Young LLP (actuary/auditor), and Deustche Bank (SPC investment manager). As of December 31, 2014, Inova includes 20 active programs totaling in excess of $60M in direct written premium. 1 Shanique Hall, “Recent Developments in the Captive Insurance Industry,” Center for Insurance Policy Research (CIPR) Newsletter [January 2012], accessed February 7, 2014.

Fraud detection is a never-ending learning process for experts and e-commerce merchants. The moment we figure out a fraudster’s attack pattern, we can slow down his fraud attempts ─ until he realizes his approach no longer works. Then he tries something different and often more complex, and the detection-and-prevention cycle turns again. In addition to stopping millions of different fraud patterns in 2016, ClearSale collected and studied those patterns to understand how they’ll evolve. Based on that knowledge, the ClearSale fraud analytics team expects to see more of these types of emerging and growing fraud in 2017.
Some types of ecommerce fraud recur year after year. First, let’s talk about the old standbys. Certain types of e-commerce fraud may always be with us. They’re usually simple patterns that are easy to detect with the right tools. For example, some criminals launch multiple fraud attempts from a geographic area associated with a fraud victim's name, IP address or post office box. Reoccurring usernames, like a series of random first names finishing with the same numbers ([email protected],[email protected]) are also strong indicators of fraud. Harder-to-detect but perennially popular fraud patterns exploit websites’ blind spots. For example, if a merchant’s checkout process doesn’t require a CVV validation number for card purchases, fraudsters will eventually find it and flock to it with a list of stolen card numbers for which they don’t have CVV codes. In 2017, watch for these types of online retail fraud. Most fraud is much more complex than those basic types. Based on our analysis of 2016 trends, we expect more of these newer fraud patterns in the year ahead: Even more fraudulent bot transactions. Over the past year, there’s been a dramatic rise in fraudsters’ use of tools that randomly generate credit card numbers. They test those, along with randomly generated CVVs, at under protected merchant sites to find effective card-number-and-CVV combinations. They can also test randomly generated CVVs against known valid credit card numbers they’ve purchased on the dark web. As soon as they find card and CVV matches that work, these criminals can commit fraud at speed, using bots to place multiple orders at once. Fraudsters also use bots to place many orders in sequence with computer-generated e-mail addresses. Sometimes they use the same random e-mail address for several orders with different credit cards. A decade ago, automated fraud at this scale and velocity was impossible to achieve; today it’s business as usual. Online fraudsters exploit in-store pickup. Omnichannel retailers and customers like the convenience of online ordering with in-store pickup, but it’s convenient for fraudsters, too. That’s because fraud screenings of online orders rely on checking information like the customer’s shipping address. If that address doesn’t need to be correct for customers to get their merchandise, a thief can enter information that doesn’t match the card, complete the order, and pick up the merchandise before the fraud is discovered. There are simple ways retailers can modify the pick-up process to make it more secure without discouraging real customers, but not all retailers are using them yet. Same-day shipping helps fraudsters beat the clock. Eighty percent of shoppers want same-day shipping from retailers, and fraudsters want it, too. Faster shipping means more successful fraud, because — as with in-store pickup — criminals can get their hands on the merchandise before their fraud is detected. Once a fraudster finds same-day shipping success with a particular retailer, he can target them repeatedly until they tighten their screening to block him. The post-EMV online fraud wave hasn’t crested yet. Like every other country that’s switched to EMV (chip) cards for in-store purchases, the US has seen a dramatic rise in online fraud as criminals move from point-of-sale fraud to easier targets. Experts warned about this expected rise since well before the EMV liability shift in October 2015, and fraud attacks have increased as predicted. However, as of this writing, only 29% of US retailers accept chip cards at their point-of-sale terminals. As more retailers convert their POS terminals in 2017 to comply with card company rules, expect even more fraud in the online space. In the end, there will always be countermeasures retailers can use against fraud patterns, no matter how new or old those patterns are. The most successful online retailers in 2017 will deploy countermeasures that reduce traditional online fraud and new fraud trends without turning away good customers. The Internet facilitates rapid data-sharing and increased communication between individuals, firms and government entities. This generates significant risks but, for most of the 2000s, Japan did not take commensurate countermeasures. The complacent attitude toward information technology security has persisted in Japan too long due to a combination of ignorance, wishful thinking and the belief that cybersecurity is only a cost, rather than a prudent investment.
It doesn’t get any more embarrassing than the discovery that the Wi-Fi network at the lodging for reporters covering the G-7 Ise-Shima summit was tampered with and can infect users’ computers with a virus that has been traced back to Russia. Government officials maintain, however, that strict cyber-terrorism measures have been implemented at the summit venues to prevent any such problems. Well, that’s their story and they’re sticking to it. The theft of data from police departments in recent years has exposed thousands of people’s personal information and many years of investigation data. These breaches highlight that authorities can’t even safeguard their own information, raising questions about their ability to enforce cybersecurity and spreading awareness of the threat. There have also been breaches affecting politicians, the Diet’s servers and various ministries and agencies, not to mention the theft of data from major firms such as Benesse Corp. and websites such as Ashley Madison, a social networking service for adulterers. Despite so many instances of hacking worldwide, authorities in Japan have not responded effectively. In May 2015 the Japan Pension Service was targeted, exposing the personal data of more than 1.2 million people. This came after the Diet passed legislation in 2014 designed to beef up cybersecurity, granting a sweeping mandate to the Cabinet’s National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity. It is supposed to strengthen international cooperation on cybersecurity and also overcome the notorious stovepipe mentality of Japan’s agencies and ministries by coordinating and unifying their efforts — not an easy task in the turf-conscious world of the bureaucracy. These various attacks demonstrate Japan’s cyber-vulnerabilities at all levels: from private citizens to the military and corporations to the government. Online attacks cost relatively little and are fast, difficult to detect or to pin on the responsible party. Moreover, they can be devastating — such as the attack on Iran’s nuclear power plants and enrichment facilities by the malicious Stuxnet worm. The covert GhostNet cyberattack, discovered in 2009 and thought to have originated in mainland China, took control of more than 1,000 computers belonging to diplomats, military attaches, politicians and their assistants, as well as journalists. In addition to stealing data, it allowed for covert surveillance using the microphones and video cameras in targets’ computers. Past attacks highlight Japan’s cybersecurity weaknesses. Back in 2005, the computers of approximately 400,000 to 500,000 broadband users were infected with bots, which can inflict crippling distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Japan could be subject to unimaginable chaos if transportation systems like railways or air traffic control were attacked. Cyberterrorism against nuclear plants, dams and other important infrastructure represent potential nightmares. In 2007, classified data on the Aegis weapons system, including targeting information, was exposed on a peer-to-peer network when a Maritime Self-Defense Force officer shared pornography files that the classified information was buried within. Subsequently, in 2011, Chinese hackers gained access to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., Japan’s largest defense contractor, compromising classified submarine, missile, fighter jet and nuclear power plant data.

Message purporting to be from Facebook Security Management claims that your account will be disabled because other users have reported your actions. It instructs you to click a link to re-confirm your details or Facebook will remove your account. Brief Analysis: The message is not an official Facebook security warning. Instead, it is a phishing scam designed to steal your Facebook login details as well as your credit card numbers, your email account password, and other identifying information. It is just one in a long line of very similar scam messages. If you receive one of these messages, do not click on any links that it contains. Example: WARNING: Your account will be disabled! Our system has received the reports from the other users about the misuse of your account. Someone has reported your actions, which violations of our terms. Facebook does not allow: • Pretending to be someone else • Interfere with another comfort for the user • Having more than one Facebook • Share link or video content with pornographic videos If you are really user of this account, you’ll need to re-confirm your account. It’s easy, Click the link below to confirm your account: If you do not immediately confirm a grace period of 12 hours after you receive this message, so sorry we will remove of your account. Thanks, Miller Security Management Detailed Analysis: According to this warning message, which claims to be from “Miller” at “Security Management Facebook”, your Facebook account is set to be disabled. Supposedly, you have been misusing your account and someone has therefore reported your actions. The message then claims that you must click a link to re-confirm your account within 12 hours or Facebook will remove the offending account. The warning is distributed via Facebook’s internal messaging system. However, the message is certainly not from any official security manager at Facebook. And the claim that your account will be disabled if you do not confirm your information is a lie. If you are taken in by the ruse and click the link in the hope of saving your account, you will be taken to a fraudulent webpage that has been built to emulate the real Facebook website. The fake webpage asks you to “login” with your Facebook email address and password. Next, a second form will appear that asks you to provide your webmail address and password as well as your date of birth, country, phone number, and account security question: Finally, you will be redirected to the Facebook Newsroom website. At this point, you may believe that you have successfully confirmed your information and thereby avoided the threatened account removal. In reality, however, online criminals now have a good deal of your personal and financial information. They can use your information to hijack both your Facebook account and email account. Once they have gained entry to these accounts, they can use them to send out further scam and spam messages. They may send new versions of the above scam to your friends from your Facebook account via private messages. The criminals can also use your credit card to conduct fraudulent transactions. They may also manage to use all of the personal information they have collected to steal your identity. This criminal tactic is not new. In fact, this scam message is just one in a long line of very similar scams that have targeted Facebook users for several years. Be wary of any message that purports to be from Facebook and claims that your account will be disabled or suspended if you do not click a link to verify your account details. If Facebook needs you to address an account issue, you will most likely receive a notification from within Facebook itself when you login. If one of these scam messages comes your way, do not click any links that it contains. Always login to Facebook by entering the address into your browser’s address bar or via a trusted app. There's been an alarming number of phishing scams identified this year and these emails are getting more clever and realistic than ever.
The latest phishing email you need to keep an eye out for disguises itself as an iTunes email. Much like the Amazon phishing scam we showed you, this email claims that you have been overcharged for a download purchase, $25 for one song, which is usually $1.99 or less, or $45 for the Netflix app. The email will show you a very official-looking billing statement and will encourage you to click a link that says, "Cancel andx Manage Subscriptions." But, because you're a Komando.com reader, you'll notice the typo in the link and know that's red flag number one. Whatever you do, don't click that link. It could take you to a malicious site that can steal all of your valuable information, then it's game over. If you think you really might have been overcharged, check your bank statements first before clicking any links. Just being in the know about these emails is step one. There are other steps you can take to keep yourself safe from these phishing attempts. If you see an email like this in your inbox: - Be sure to exercise caution before you click on anything. Hover over any links and see where they direct before you click. If the links provided go to a website, don't click it. Navigate to the company's site yourself without the link. - Take some time and try to spot the typos. - If you're not sure that you can spot the signs, click here to take our phishing IQ test to see how many stand out to you. - Practice multi-level authentication, which means you have at least two forms of verification, such as a password and a security question before you log into any sensitive accounts. - Another thing is to have an internet security system. We recommend our sponsor Kaspersky Lab. Software from Kaspersky Lab can recognize and block ransomware. Even if it's a new version or unknown version of a ransomware, Kaspersky Lab can figure out that the program is doing something it shouldn't. Kaspersky Lab will stop it from running and will roll back any files that were encrypted to a previous non-encrypted version. Of course, Kaspersky Lab software also helps filter out and warn you about phishing scams, so your odds of downloading a ransomware virus are slim. Get this protection, and so much more, with Kaspersky Total Security. |
