Sicherheits-Experten sprechen oft von Exploits als größter Gefahr – doch viele Anwender wissen nicht, was Exploits eigentlich sind und warum diese so gefährlich
In ihren Anfangszeiten sperrten Erpresser-Programme den Desktop. Dann begannen sie Dateien zu verschlüsseln. Bald darauf fingen die Blockier-Programme an,
Es geht um den Fall, bei dem ein Mitarbeiter Schadsoftware auf seinem Arbeitsrechner installiert hat, was zur fristlosen Kündigung des Arbeitnehmers führte.
Selbst das Fraunhofer-Institut ist betroffen: Die neue Ransomware Locky infiziert in großem Stil Rechner weltweit. Der Trojaner verfügt sogar über eine deutsche Sprachversion.
In diesem Video ein kleiner Blick auf den neuesten Verschlüsselungstrojaner Locky. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung: http://www.patreon.com/sempervideo?ty=...

NEW MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS Chikungunya is a mosquito-transmitted virus that has the potential to become a nasty disease in the U.S. It is already near us—it has been spreading recently in the Caribbean and Central and South America. Since 2006 there have been an average of 28 annual reported cases of the disease in the U.S., but all the cases were travelers who caught the disease outside the country and returned home infected—until recently. In July in Florida, we had the first record of a person being sick from Chikungunya who had not traveled outside the country. No one knows how quickly the disease may spread here. Chikungunya is rarely fatal, but it typically results in fever, joint pain and muscle aches. The symptoms typically go away after a week, but in some cases the joint pain is severe and can go on much longer. There is no vaccine and no specific treatment for the infection. This disease is another important reason to reduce your exposure to mosquitoes. This can be done t

On December 1, 1981, the AIDS virus is officially recognized as a disease. Aids is a disease of the human immune system caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The complete origin of HIV are not really known to researchers on this day. Clear is however, that the human immunodeficiency virus is very similar to the Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a retrovirus that is able to infect over 40 species of African primates. It is assumed, that this virus exists for more than 32.000 years, which was measured at the African island Bioko and the African mainland....
Hi there, I'm running Sophos Anti-Virus in Mac OS 10.6.6 It has detected a threat (Mal/Phish-A) which seems to be on my Time Machine drive. I tried to clean up the threat but I get: Cleanup of the threat was not successful. You must clean

Der Iran hat am Samstag erstmals eine Cyberattacke auf seine Industrieanlagen durch den mysteriösen Computerschädling „Stuxnet“ bestätigt. Das Computervirus scheint speziell gegen die iranische Industrie und Energieversorgung gerichtet zu sein. Aber auch andere Länder sind betroffen. Stuxnet braucht industrielle Steuerungssysteme der Firma Siemens und Windows-Rechner, um sich entfalten zu können. Diese Struktur findet sich vor allem im Iran. Experten schätzen, 60 Prozent der Stuxnet-Attacken seien im Iran zu verzeichnen. Das Virus ist aber auch bereits in den USA, Großbritannien, Indonesien und Indien aufgetaucht.
The NY Times writes about Henry S. Heine, a former Army microbiologist who worked for years with Bruce E. Ivins, whom the FBI has blamed for the anthrax letter attacks that killed five people in 2001. Heine told a 16-member National Academy of Sciences panel reviewing the FBI's scientific work on the investigation that he believes it is impossible that the deadly spores could have been produced undetected in Ivins's laboratory, as the FBI asserts. Heine told the panel that producing the quantity of spores in the letters would have taken at least a year of intensive work using the equipment at the army lab, an effort that would not have escaped colleagues' notice. Lab technicians who worked closely with Ivins have told Heine they saw no such work. Heine adds that, in addition, the biological containment measures where Ivins worked were inadequate to prevent the spores from floating out of the laboratory into animal cages and offices. 'You'd have had dead animals or dead people.' Asked why he is speaking out now, almost two years after Ivins's suicide, Heine says that Army officials had prohibited comment on the case, silencing him until he left the government laboratory. Although Heine does not dispute that there was a genetic link between the spores in the letters and the anthrax in Ivins's flask, Heine says samples from the flask were widely shared. 'Whoever did this is still running around out there. I truly believe that.'

Summary
Worm:Win32/Conficker.B is a worm that infects other computers across a network by exploiting a vulnerability in the Windows Server service (SVCHOST.EXE). If the vulnerability is successfully exploited, it could allow remote code execution when file sharing is enabled. It may also spread via removable drives and weak administrator passwords. It disables several important system services and security products.
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today launched BadVista.org, a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users' security and privacy rights.
