सारी दुनिया जहां कोरोना संकट से जूझ रही है वहीं हैकर्स इस मौके का फायदा उठाने से भी बाज नहीं आ रहे। शुक्रवार को गूगल ने बताया कि उन्होंने पिछले हफ्ते लगभग 1.8 करोड़ मालवेयर और फिशिंग ईमेल को ढूंढा, जो कोविड19 के नाम पर यूजर्स को भेजे गए थे। इसके अतिरिक्त 24 करोड़ कोरोना से जुड़े स्पैम मैसेजेज की भी पहचान की गई है। इससे अंदाजा लगाया जा सकता है कि हैकर्स कितनी बड़ी तदाद में घर से काम कर रहे हैं लोगों और लॉकडाउन की वजह से घरों पर समय व्यतीत कर रहे लोगों को महामारी के नाम पर निशाना बना रहे हैं।

मशीन लर्निंग मॉडल से99%मालवेयर ब्लॉक कर रहा गूगल

गूगल ने कहा कि इसमें से 99 फीसदी स्पैम, फिशिंग और मालवेयर्स को कंपनी की मशीन लर्निंग मॉडल (जो इनकी पहचान कर इन्हें फिलटर करने में सक्षम है) द्वारा यूजर तक पहुंचने से रोक दिया गया है यानी ब्लॉक कर दिया गया है। इन्हें जवाब देने से यूजर्स को आर्थिक नुकसान भी उठाना पड़ सकता है। कई बार यह भी देखा गया है कि हैकर्स खुद को सरकारी संगठन जैसे वर्ल्ड हेल्थ ऑर्गनाइजेशन बताकर फ्रॉड करने के उद्देश्य से फेक और संवेदनशील ईमेल्स भेजते हैं। गूगल ने बताया कि इन पर क्लिक करने पर या इनका जवाब देने पर इंफेक्टेड डाउनलोडेबल फाइल यूजर के सिस्टम के बैकएंड में डाउनलोड हो जाती है, जो आपकी निजी जानकारियों में सेंध लगा सकती है।

जीमेल सिक्योरिटी के प्रोडक्ट मैनेजर नील कुमारन ने बताया कि इन ईमेल को ब्लॉक करने के अलावा हम डब्ल्यूएचओ के साथ मिलकर डोमेन बेस्ड मैसेज ऑथेंटिकेशन, रिपोर्टिंग और कंफोर्मेंशन (DMARC) पर काम कर रहें है और लोगों को सुरक्षित रहने के लिए सही ईमेल की पहचान करने की जानकारी भी दे रहे हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि DMARC हैकरों के लिए who.int डोमेन का इस्तेमाल करना मुश्किल कर देता है और उन्हें यूजर के इनबॉक्स में जाने से रोकता है।

सरकारी राहत कोष के नाम पर फंसा सकते हैं

गूगल ने बताया कि कई बार हैकर्स सरकारी राहत कोष और सरकारी संस्थानों की नकल करते हैं और छोटे व्यवसायियों को लुभाकर उन्हें नुकसान पहुंचाने की कोशिश करते हैं। कंपनी ने बताया कि कोरोना से जुड़े मालवेयर और फिशिंग को लोगों तक पहुंचने से रोकने के लिए विशेष तौर से इनकी निगरानी की जा रही है।

गूगल ने बताया कैसे बचें
इन सबसे बचने के लिए गूगल ने बताया कि यूजर को ऐसी फाइल को डाउनलोड करने से बचना चाहिए जिनके बारे में उन्हें जानकारी न हो। इसमें अटैच डॉक्यूमेंट देखने के लिए यूजर गूगल के बिल्ट-इन डॉक्यूमेंट प्रिव्यू का इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं।

उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि किसी भी यूआरएल पर क्लिक करने से पहले या उस पर अपना लॉगइन और पासवर्ड डालने से पहले उसकी सत्यता की पुष्टि जरूर कर लेना चाहिए, क्योंकि फेक यूआरएल हूबहू असली यूआरएल जैसे ही दिखते हैं इनमें या तो अतिरिक्त शब्द या शब्दों का हेरफेर होता है।

एपल नए फीचर पर काम कर रहा है, जिसमें मास्क पहने हुए भी फेस आईडी सपोर्ट करने वाले आईफोन को अनलॉक किया जा सकेगा। यह नया फीचर आईओएस 13.5 बीटा वर्जन में मिलेगा, जिसमें यूजर के चेहरे पर मास्क होने पर फेस आईडी फंक्शनैलिटी ऑटोमैटिक स्विच होकर पिनकोड में कन्वर्ट हो जाएगी, जिसके बाद पासवर्ड डालकर फोन अनलॉक किया जा सकेगा। कोरोना महामारी के दौरान यह फीचर काफी महत्वपूर्ण साबित होगा, क्योंकि कई जगहों पर मास्क पहनना अनिवार्य कर दिया गया है, ऐसे में फोन अनलॉक करने के लिए मास्क हटाने की जरूरत नहीं पड़ेगी।

मास्क देखकर खुद स्किप हो जाएगा फेस आईडी फीचर

• हालांकि, आईफोन X या उससे ऊपर के मॉडल्स में बाय डिफॉल्ट फेस आईडी ऑथेंटिकेशन मिलता है, जो ट्रू डेप्थ कैमरे के जरिए यूजर का फेशियल डेटा कलेक्ट करता है। हालांकि यूजर के पास स्क्रीन स्वाइप करके पासवर्ड डालने की सुविधा भी मिलती है।
• लेकिन लेटेस्ट आईओएस 13.5 बीटा वर्जन में कंपनी ने सिस्टम को इस तरह से डिजाइन किया है कि अगर फेसआईडी को यूजर के चेहरे पर मास्क या उससे मिलता-जुलता कोई ऑब्जेक्ट दिखता है, तो सीधे पासवर्ड एंट्री स्क्रीन खुल जाएगी। यूजर स्क्रीन स्वाइप करने की जरूरत नहीं पड़ेगी।

शुरुआत में कुछ ही यूजर को मिलेगा फीचर
शुरुआती तौर में टेस्टिंग के लिहाज से फीचर सिर्फ लेटेस्ट आईओएस 13.5 बीटा वर्जन के डेवलपर्स को ही मिलेगा। जल्द ही कंपनी इसे स्टेबल वर्जन यूजर्स के लिए भी जारी करेगी।

रॉबर्ट पीटरसन नाम के यूजर इस फीचर का स्क्रीनशॉट ट्वीटर पर शेयर किया है, जिसमें इस फीचर की झलक देखने को मिल रही है।
