How to overcome Attention Required! One more step. Please complete the security check error

July 24, 2016 by computerera


 Attention Required!

While browsing different sites on internet people frequently facing one big issue. While we are expecting the web page, one warning message displaying on the screen like this:

Attention Required! One more step. Please complete the security check to access www.abc.com”

People are becoming panic after reading this. They are suspecting that there may be a viral infection or something else happened in their system. To some degree that is true. Here are the exact reasons for the warning message.

Nowadays DDoS attacks on the websites are rising. Therefore every site is focusing more on the site’s security. CDN (Content Delivery Network) providers like CloudFlare are offering DDoS protection services to the websites. If the website we are visiting implemented this mechanism, more likely we may come across the above warning.

But not always this happens. If the CloudFlare CDN service identifies our IP address as the suspected one, then it asks us to complete the Captcha Verification to prevent the DDoS attacks.

Because of various reasons, our public IP may become suspectable. There might be a malware infection on our computer which uses our computer like botnet to make DDoS attacks on various sites unknowingly. If that is the case, your public IP will be marked as dangerous IP on the internet. It indirectly leads to the above security checks while browsing the internet.

First of all, check your computer with any powerful antivirus software for malware infections and clean unnecessary junk files. In few cases using the alternative browser help us to overcome the issue temporarily.

Sometimes there might be a problem with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) like Airtel, BSNL, Act Fiber you are using. If everything is clean on your computer, you have to ask your ISP to check if the IP or subnet mask is blacklisted. As an Act Fiber customer living in Hyderabad and maintaining my computer in perfect condition, I never faced the issue. So by correcting the above reasons, you can also get rid of the problem.

govt it report

More than 8000 Indian websites hacked the first three months of 2016 according to the details Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad furnished to the Parliament today.

Below are the statistics mentioned in his written reply to the Lok Sabha.

Total cyber crimes including fishing malicious code, website intrusion, denial of serive, scanning, etc. occurred in the last four years.

2013 – 41,319 incidents
2014 – 44,679 incidents
2015 – 49,455 cases
2016 (till March) – 14,363 incidents

And statistics for the Indian website hacking incidents are below for the last four years.

2013 – 28,481 websites hacked
2014 – 32,323 sites hacked
2015 – 27,205 sites hacked
2016 (till March) – 8,056 sites hacked.

And the minister has also provided the statistics for the spam emails reported to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). Below are the details:

2013 – 54,677 spam emails
2014 – 85,659 spam emails
2015 – 61,628 spam emails
2016 (till March) – 13,851 spam emails.

Here you can read his statement.

“The National Cyber Security Policy is released for public use and implementation by relevant stakeholders. The objective of the policy is to create a framework for comprehensive, collaborative and collective response to deal with the issue of cyber security at all levels within the country,” he said.

Here in India, the vast majority of the cyber crimes will not be reported to any Govt. Agency. Myself, I don’t know where to report on cyber attacks, so we have to consider above statistics as the formality Govt., providing to the general public.

Govt. Should bring full awareness of cyber security and other precautions across the India, people using technology without having sufficient security knowledge. Govt. has to focus on that. Otherwise, unreported cyber crimes will increase at a faster pace.
