Norton Scientific Reviews: Scammers’ Valentine Treat

A global security company issued a scam warning against spam messages with catchy subject lines for Internet users this Valentine’s season.

Users must be extra careful in opening messages in their email accounts especially during the holidays as they can receive spam mails meant to get their attention and steal their personal data.

One such scam warning issued by an antivirus company describes email messages that invites users to buy a gift for his/her loved one for Valentine’s using an attached discount coupon from Groupon.

Even though the proliferation of coupon services is not totally an illegal method, their popularity comes with the risk of being used in phishing attacks.

Phishing can be done by sending a massive amount of email messages asking people to enter their details on a bogus website — one that looks very similar to the popular auction sites, social networking sites and online payment sites. They are designed to obtain personal details like passwords, credit card information, etc.

Through including links in email messages, scammers trick users into visiting malicious sites and online stores, obtaining personal data along the way. Most of the time, the website the link points to is not even connected to the email message but only shows the user promotional content. This is the scammer’s illegal way of earning money called click fraud — they earn for every user they have redirected to a certain website.

There is also scam making the rounds in Germany involving gift coupons, distributed through Facebook, purporting to be from Amazon.

Spywares and malwares are malicious programs that install themselves on a computer unit to record a user’s activity. Eventually, they will send the logs they have collected back to the scammer who plans on pilfering the data for online crimes.

Scammers are freely exploiting different online platforms like Orkut, Myspace, Google+ and Twitter to cast their net on millions of users.

Yet another malicious spam has been spreading on Facebook, and like its predecessors, it makes use of users’ walls to post the fake message.

The post might appear harmless to most users as it only poses an invitation to install a Valentine’s Day theme for their Facebook profile. However, once a user clicks the malicious post, they will be redirected to a different webpage containing the install button.

Clicking install will not do any change to your profile though; worse, it will install a malware file that will show various ads and surveys and download an extension to monitor the user’s online behavior.

Norton Scientific Journal : Earth’s twin located 22 light years away

A planet similar to Earth in its ability to sustain water was discovered by astronomers in a nearby Norton Scientific Journal star system.

This Earth-twin is located in the habitable area of its host star — a narrow region where temperatures are just right for liquid water to exist on a planet’s surface.

Astronomers were astonished to find a planet that is around a star orbiting in just the right distance — not too far where it would freeze, nor too close where it would dry up.

One of the scientists remarked that the planet, named GJ 667Cc might be the best candidate to support life like here on Earth. According to estimates from the researchers, its size is at least 4 and a half times as big as the Earth. Moreover, it takes 28 days for it to orbit around its host star.

Adding to its advantages is its proximity to Earth — only 22 lightyears away, in the Scorpion constellation. They practically call it a next-door neighbor, considering that there are just 100 stars closer to Earth than the GJ 667Cc.

What makes it interesting is that, the host star (GJ 667C) is part of the triple-star system. It is basically a Norton Scientific Journal  dwarf star that’s roughly one-third of our sun’s mass.

The actual discovery of GJ 667Cc is a surprise for the astronomers for the whole star system has a chemical makeup different from the sun. Their system contains significantly lower heavy elements like silicon, carbon and iron.

Past calculations tell them they should not have discovered something that fast, unless there is actually many of them there. Scientists feel it’s too easy a find and it happened pretty quick.

A more detailed report of the study is set to be printed in the Astophysical Journal Letters.

Another possible candidate that orbits GJ 667C was spotted in 2010 but the finding was not publicized. It is named GJ 667Cb which orbits closer to the host star and takes 7.2 days to go around it. However, because of its relative closeness to the star, it would be unable to support liquid water on its surface. It’s practically glowing like a charcoal and have thousands of degrees in temperature — somewhere you can’t possible live in.

Further research is required to verify these candidates and to obtain more details on the habitable planet.

By successfully integrating guided wave laser optics, microfluidics and robust data analysis software, researchers at Norton Scientific have invented a proprietary laser-based product that is now being marketed to laboratories and universities around the world.

Targeting proteomics applications including crystallographers, the company is introducing this low-cost analytical system to researchers in biopharmaceutical and healthcare, advanced materials, food and beverage, bio-materials and in-water pollution monitoring.

Norton intends to market simple-to-use products that can be used by technicians, rather than analysts, to be incorporated into any laboratories’ own process control systems. Due to various applications of these materials, “macromolecule” covers the entire range of polymers and biopolymers − including proteins and peptides − that can be analysed using the intellectual property owned by NSI, such as contained in the revolutionary protein aggregation monitor (PAM).
