Apple Mac Computers are now targeted by ransomware and spyware.

Image
Mac users are being warned about new variants of malware that have been created specifically to target Apple computers. One is ransomware that encrypts data and demands payment before files are released. The other is spyware that watches what users do and scoops up valuable information. Experts said they represented a threat because their creators were letting anyone use them for free. The two programs were uncovered by the security firms Fortinet and AlienVault, which found a portal on the Tor "dark web" network that acted as a shopfront for both. In a blog, Fortinet said the site claimed that the creators behind it were professional software engineers with "extensive experience" of creating working code. Those wishing to use either of the programs had been urged to get in touch and provide details of how they wanted the malware to be set up. The malware's creators had said that payments made by ransomware victims would be split between themselves and their...

Intel’s Core i9 Extreme Edition CPU is an 18-core beast

Image
Intel unveiled its first 10-core consumer CPU, the company's move into the world of a "megatasking." It was a pricey chip, launching at around $1,700, but it satisfied users who needed to juggle several intensive tasks at once. Now, Intel is upping the ante with a new family of processors for enthusiasts, the Core X-series and it's anchored by the company's first 18-core CPU, the i9-7980XE. Priced at $1,999, the 7980X E is clearly not a chip you'll see in an average desktop. Instead, it's more of a statement from Intel. It beats out AMD's 16-core Threadripper CPU, which was slated to be that company's most powerful consumer processor for 2017. And it gives Intel yet another way to satisfy the demands of power-hungry users who might want to do things like play games in 4K while broadcasting them in HD over Twitch. And, as if its massive core count wasn't enough, the i9-7980XE is also the first Intel consumer chip that packs in over ...

Massive Ransomware Infection hits computers in 99 countries

Image
A massive cyber-attack using tools believed to have been stolen from the US National Security Agency (NSA) has struck organisations around the world. Cyber-security firm Avast said it had seen 75,000 cases of the ransomware - known as WannaCry and variants of that name - around the world. There are reports of infections in 99 countries, including Russia and China. Among the worst hit was the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Scotland. The BBC understands about 40 NHS organisations and some medical practices were hit, with operations and appointments cancelled.

#Malware #porn app would secretly take pictures of you and demand#ransom

Image
Security researchers are waving the red flag about a malicious 'ransomware' porn app called Adult Player that is plaguing Android phones of careless, lustful users. American security company Zscaler found that the app would secretly take pictures of the user with the front-facing camera and then use those pictures to blackmail them and ask for a $500 ransom be paid via PayPal. Before putting the blame  on Android first, though, do keep in mind that Adult Player is not available on Google's official Play Store - you have to actually download an APK file and sideload it, deliberately telling the system to switch off all defenses in order for this ransomware to work. Still, it's worth mentioning this latest malware to warn users that it is never a good idea to download untrusted and unknown apps from sources you know nothing about. And the fact that this is a pornographic app should only make you even more careful about having to deal with a virus on your phone....
