model question with solution class 12 English - 2079 - 2080
1. Read the text and do the activities that follow. [15]
Nowadays most people realise that it's risky to use
credit card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords
and government ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may
not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal
IDs and credit card numbers from innocent websurfers. This new kind of attack
is called "phishing."
Phishing sounds the same as the word "fishing"
and it implies that a thief is trying to lure people into giving away valuable
information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait in the form of great online
deals or services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false
websites to con people into revealing credit card numbers, account usernames,
and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card
companies. Successful phishers may convince as many as five percent of the
people they contact to respond and give away their personal financial
information.
Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking five
percent of the online population is huge! 2urrently, more than 350 million
people have access to the Internet, and seventy five percent of those Internet
users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that
phishers send more than three billion scam messages each year. Even by tricking
only five percent of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Since there is so much money to make through this kind of
scam, it has caught the interest of more than just small-time crooks. Recently,
police tracked down members of an organized phishing group in Eastern Europe,
who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group
created official-looking email messages requesting people to update their
personal information at an international bank's website. However, the link to
the bank in the message actually sent people to the phishers' fake website. To
make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had
connections to a major crime gang in Russia.
How can innocent people protect themselves? Above all,
they have to learn to recognise email that has been sent by a phisher. Always
be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information.
Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but fake, statements in their
emails so that people will reply right away. Also, messages from phishers will
not address recipients by name because they really don't know who the
recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other
companies you normally deal with will typically include your name.
