Pharming - What is it?

Scammers re-routing you to their website to obtain personal/private information or financial data; their website may look quite like the original. The number of incidents is very limited to date, but it has been reported. Here are a two articles explaining Pharming - from eWeek and PCWorld.

We've elected to combat this threat by giving our members a tool to be confident in accessing the Unigasco website - our entire site is now fully secured with 128-bit SSL, certified by a site certificate issued by Equifax Secure Global eBusiness. This is the same security method used by MemberDirect internet access, and most reputable sites conducting secure transactions. You can verify this on each and every page by double-clicking on the 'lock' icon. You will also notice that our web page addresses now begin with "https://" - another indicator that you've landed at a secure site. This is one way you can be sure that every page is legitimate Unigasco's content.

This is also a good tip when you are doing business online - three things to look for:

• the "s" in "https://"
• the lock icon indicating the page is encrypted
• check the site certification by double-clicking on the lock to examine the SSL certificate

You can trust Unigasco to deliver the highest levels of trust and security to ensure members that our Web site is genuine, and that the information exchanged via Web browsers and other devices stays private and confidential.
