Evolving technologies are making it easier for people with malicious intent to manipulate the vulnerabilities of Internet infrastructure. The explosive use of Smartphone’s and tablets in 2012 kept cybercriminals busy. And security experts warn of more to come in 2013. Better Business Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington is alerting consumers and businesses of expected cyber-threats in 2013: Cloud-Based Botnets: Cloud computing allows businesses to quickly add or subtract computing power, creating the potential for massive virtual networks to simultaneously send thousands of spam emails. A growing concern is that cloud computing resources will be purchased using credit card information obtained from phishing schemes. Search History Poisoning: Hackers attempt to bump illegitimate websites to the top of search engine results, and now, try to manipulate individuals’ search histories— according to the Emerging Cyber Threats Report 2013 from Georgia Tech. Compromised search histories can follow users from computer to computer, perpetuating the inaccurate results and increasing the likelihood of visiting malicious websites. Mobile Wallet Vulnerabilities: Near field communication, or NFC—a technology which allows two devices to exchange data when in the proximity of each other—is being considered by many Smartphone manufacturers, retailers and airlines. With this technology, near field scanners may attempt to capture stored credit card information from passersby’s. Malicious Mobile Apps: The Internet Crime Complaint Center recently issued an alert on malware in Android applications. As the market for mobile applications expands, it is likely that this problem will increase. Counterfeit QR Codes: A Quick Response Code is a two-dimensional scannable barcode that directs Smartphone users to websites or downloadable content. Counterfeit QR Codes—often adhered over legitimate codes and unknowingly scanned—can download malware or lead to unsecure websites. Intercepting text messages. There is Android malware that eavesdrops on incoming text messages and forwards them to other numbers or servers. The potential exists for attacks like these to target Internet banking services that send mobile transaction authentication numbers via [text]. Hacktivism. This is a movement that got its start in 2008 when the group Anonymous hacked the Church of Scientology's website. Since then, Anonymous and other political activists have used digital tools to make political or social points. Expect more of that.

We all know about the usual things that can poison a child such as vitamins with iron, most medications, household cleaners, antifreeze and many other substances, but what about the plants around your house and yard? Many of us don’t Inhalant abuse is the deliberate inhalation or sniffing of common products found in homes with the purpose of getting high. Inhalants are easily accessible, legal, everyday products that when intentionally misused, can be deadly. Inhalant abuse is a lesser recognized form of substance abuse, but it is no less dangerous. Although other abused drugs can be inhaled, the term inhalants is reserved for the wide variety of substances—including solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrites—that are rarely, taken via any other route of administration. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that one in five American teens have used inhalants to get high. think about the plants in our yard being a poison, but children across the country continue to be poisoned by plants every Inhalant Products There are more than 1,400 products which are potentially dangerous when inhaled, here are some examples: year. Below is a list of plants that the Oregon Poison Center deems “Very Toxic”. They recommend that you check with Volatile solvents—liquids that vaporize at room temperature the Poison Center if you have a suspicion that a plant has been ingested, or if the circumstances are unclear.

Take a stroll around your yard and look to see what plants you have. Keep that in the back of your mind if kids or pets are near them and take proper precautions to avoid an accidental poisoning. Did You Know? Last year the Oregon Poison Center Basic Tips to Prevent Poisonings: received over 60,000 calls about poisons. 73 percent of these calls were about unintentional poisonings at home. Over 44 percent of all poisonings happen to children under the age of 5 years. Older adults are more likely than others to die from poisonings. Our goal is to provide poison prevention information that you can use to help you and your family stay poison safe. Buy products with child-resistant caps. But beware child-resistant caps are not CHILDPROOF. Once your child learns how to open them, these caps will not keep your child safe. Always tightly close caps after each use. Keep medicine and cleaners out of sight in cabinets with childresistant latches. Be careful when using medicines and cleaners. If the phone or doorbell rings, close the cap before you answer it. Children can eat poisons in seconds. Do not put poison in empty food bottles - someone might eat it! Clean up after working around the house, car and garden. Properly dispose of leftover cleaners, sprays, and kerosene right away. Old medicines often stop working, but they can still poison children. Throw out expired medications. Your local pharmacist can help you with this task. Buy products that have a bittering agent. Poisons with a bittering agent will taste so bad that children often stop eating them For more information on poison control visit: http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/outreach/oregon-poison-center/ or free and confidential poison assistance to callers on a poison hotline 1 800 222-1222. Spray paints, hair or deodorant sprays, fabric protector sprays, aerosol computer cleaning products, and vegetable oil sprays Gases—found in household or commercial products and used as medical anesthetics Butane lighters and propane tanks, whipped cream aerosols or dispensers (whippets), Medical anesthetics (ether, chloroform, halothane, and nitrous oxide) Nitrites—used primarily as sexual enhancers Organic nitrites are volatiles that include cyclohexyl, butyl, and amyl nitrites, commonly known as “poppers” Inhalant Damage If sufficient amounts are inhaled, nearly all solvents and gases produce a loss of sensation, and even unconsciousness. Irreversible effects can be hearing loss, limb spasms, central nervous system or brain damage, or bone marrow damage. Sniffing high concentrations of inhalants may result in Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome, death from heart failure or suffocation (inhalants displace oxygen in the lungs). Tips for Talking (6-11 year olds) Discuss what poisons are, and what effects they have on a healthy body. Play a game, “is it safe to smell or touch?” Find pictures of various household products and other items in a book or magazine and ask your child, “is it safe to smell or touch, and why?” Discuss the purpose of common household and commercial products. Explain that when misused, certain fumes or gases may harm the body, act as a poison; and can make the child sick. Educate your child about the dangers, but don’t mention specific substances unless your child brings them up. While many youngsters know kids are sniffing some substances, they may not know the full range of products that can be abused. Inhalant Statistics In the United States: Over 2.6 million children, aged 12 – 17, use inhalants each year to get high 1 in 4 students intentionally abused a common household product to get high by the time they reach the eighth grade Inhalants tend to be the drug that is tried first by children “Sniffing” and “huffing” can begin at age 10 or younger 59% of children are aware of friends huffing by the age of 12 Inhalants are the fourth most-abused substance after alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana (12-18 year olds) Ask if he or she knows about inhalant abuse or is aware of other kids abusing products Encourage your child to come to you if he or she has any questions about Inhalants Tell your child that the consequences of inhalant abuse are as dangerous as those from abusing alcohol or using illegal drugs Educate your child about the dangers, but don’t mention specific substances unless your child brings them up.
