It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s An Email Vapor Trail??

Posted on August 14, 2012 by Lina Maini

Sometimes you just want to read an article, redeem a coupon or spy on the opposition. (Hey, we’re clean… and creative.)

The gmail jig is up.  As soon as I see a gmail address from an unknown sender, pending the content, I will either junk it or run back the sender info to identify its real originator.

What to do, what to do?

Luckily, prescient program developers (aka legal hackers) have filled in this gap and we now have reliable temporary anonymous email generator sites from which to dispatch our hidden sender messages.

Below are our favorite disposable email provider sites:

Guerrilla Mail

Disposable Temporary E-Mail Address:  Lasts for 60 minutes, either use a domain given to you or create your own.

Hide My Ass - (Ok, our first test run was out of curiosity.  With a name like that…)

“When websites or persons you do not necessarily trust ask for your email address, give them one of our anonymous email addresses and hide your true email address and online identity.” – can last anywhere from 24 hours to 12 months (year) - “Hide behind one of our email address aliases and never have to reveal your real email address.” - “Need to register on a shady website? Stop spam emails from entering your real email inbox.”

SendAnonymousEmail 

“Every day over 60,000 free anonymous emails are sent from our servers, making us the world’s largest and most trusted anonymous email service” – It is a one time use email (obviously can be used multiple times using different anonymous emails)

Anonymize responsibly.

(Visit our pic originator’s site: www.sjbn.co for great info on everything techno related as it applies to domain searches, email identifiers, tagging…

Additional disposable and anonymous email information in the below articles.)

As always, stay safe.

What Happens In Your Office, Stays In Your Office: Wi-Fi Security

Posted on October 2, 2007 by Lina Maini

Recently, BNI operatives met with a longstanding Midtown Manhattan client to discuss the firm’s expansion to a wireless office. We’ve observed this trend among many law firms and have, and continue, to monitor our clients’ Wi-Fi security needs.

Below are several quick tips that will hopefully address some of the initial concerns of going wireless:

1. Encrypt. If you are a small firm and doing this yourself, we suggest any of the CNET 3 stars+ rated programs at http://www.download.com/. If you are having someone else doing it: confirm that they have the ability to fully encrypt and that the management aspect is easily and quickly converted to your staff.

2. Select your IP address. Default IP address ranges are typically 192.168.x.x. Make sure your unique address is in the 10. or 172. ranges.

3. Add more firewall cover. Tie your wireless into something harder to punch a hole through like a domain controller with hardware firewall. That will be in front of your public facing IP address.

4. Restrict connections. Easily written but as you would not give just anyone your office keys; install a gatekeeper and keep tabs.

The above tips are probably overkill for a home connection, but a lawyer’s office can be a goldmine for those seeking early retirement through others’ efforts.

Good luck, and as always,

Stay safe,

Lina
