To promote professional networking amongst the alumni of Asian School of Cyber Laws, we have created the Asian School of Cyber Laws group on LinkedIn.com.

This group is for alumni of Asian School of Cyber Laws.

LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world, representing 170 industries and 200 countries. You can find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals that you need to work with to accomplish your goals.  Your professional network of trusted contacts gives you an advantage in your career, and is one of your most valuable assets. LinkedIn exists to help you make better use of your professional network and help the people you trust in return.

If you already have an account on LinkedIn.com:

1. Sign in to your LinkedIn.com account.

2. After signing into your LinkedIn account, click here to join the Asian School of Cyber Laws group on LinkedIn.com.

If you do not have an account on LinkedIn.com:

1. Visit www.linkedin.com/home and register yourself for free.

2. After that sign into your LinkedIn.com account and then click here to Asian School of Cyber Laws group on LinkedIn.com.

Go on then. Let’s get Linked.

With the tremendous increase in the use of online banking, online share trading and ecommerce, there has been a corresponding growth in the incidents of phishing being used to carry out financial frauds.

Phishing involves fraudulently acquiring sensitive information (e.g. passwords, credit card details etc) by masquerading as a trusted entity.

The usual scenario is that the victim receives an email that appears to have been sent from his bank. The email urges the victim to click on the link in the email. When the victim does so, he is taken to “a secure page on the bank’s website”. The victim believes the web page to be authentic and he enters his username, password and other information. In reality, the website is a fake and the victim’s information is stolen and misused.

Phishing – a practical case study is a first of its kind case study in the world and has been released by Asian School of Cyber Laws. It explains the above scenario in detail along with two fully functional websites:

After the resounding success of the Online Introductory course in Cyber Law, we’ve now launched the Free Online Introductory course in Intellectual Property Rights (OICIPR).

On joining the course (which takes only an online registration) you’d get to know the basic concepts of Intellectual Property Rights.

You get course material in the form of a PDF file. You can take your exam online. But the best is yet to come.

The greatest part is that despite being a free course, completion entitles you to a certificate from us!

To get yourself on our rolls, just go to http://www.asianlaws.org/free/index.htm and register there. And if you are the calculating type and are asking yourself “What’s the catch”, we say “None”.

Once you’ve successfully completed the exam, just send us a stamped self-addressed envelope and we’ll send you the certificate.

So, let’s review. Free course in IPR, online course material, certification provided. Are you still only thinking about joining?

We’ve been a family for a long time. We finally felt that the time was right for us to become a community. So we’ve launched the ASCL Community.

The ASCL community features a wide range of resources and useful information.

You can get the latest events at ASCL from the ASCL Calendar. We’re also giving you a chance to sign up to receive all the latest information about our events via email.

Our forum on Cyber Crime & You is a one stop info-zone on how cyber crimes affect you and how to deal with them.

You can also enrol for the immensely popular Free Online Introductory course in Cyber Law.

In addition, we’ve got the ASCL Student of the Month and Alumnus of the Month nominations going on. There is the ASCL Online Poll where you can come and give your opinion on significant issues.

We’ve got Hacking Challenges, the ASCL Online Library and tips for enhancing your child’s safety online.

Of course, we’ve got links to all our associate websites too.

So, to get the latest @ ASCL join the ASCL Community.
