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.

#Microsoft Confirms Massive #Windows10 #Upgrade Changes.

Image
Microsoft has just revealed arguably its biggest Windows 10 upgrade so far and the irony is it is all about making things smaller… Speaking on the official Windows blog, Windows program manager Bill Karagounis explained that Windows 10 is going to get much smarter about how it downloads updates: “We are announcing the next generation of our delivery technologies incorporated into our latest Insider builds called the Unified Update Platform (UUP). One of the biggest community and customer benefits of UUP is the reduction you’ll see in download size on PCs.” UUP uses differential download technology meaning it will download “only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build”. This is a big deal. UUP will become the universal system used by all versions of Windows 10 – including on smartphones and tablets – and it should mean users not only save valuable bandwidth but also waste less time as devices focus purely on inst

How to stay safe by preventing #hackers and improve online #security?

Nowadays, companies continue to invest heavily into securing their websites from cyber-attacks and also to improve online security. You should note that online hackers from various parts of the world have continued to launch numerous cyber-attacks and fetch confidential information. These are becoming a lot more detailed and comprehensive. Hence, they are able to penetrate most firewalls and online security protocols. Online gambling websites such as Casino.com , Aliexpress.com and ebay.com have been constantly targeted by cybercriminals. These websites have extremely large databases that store plenty of customer information which includes personal and financial records. The above websites have secured their servers and data with the latest online security protocols. This makes it extremely difficult for hackers to breach their firewalls. According to security experts, the Ashley Madison cyber-attack in 2015 was a classic example of how much devastation cybercrim
