Now you know how they steal your password. http://www.kfdi.com/news/national/tilting-your-phone-can-give-away-pin-password-to-hackers-study-warns (And maybe how the FBI hacked into that iPhone) |

open source = open malware http://www.zdnet.com/article/can-google-win-its-battle-with-android-malware/ Both iOS and Android devices are targeted by hackers, but data suggests there is more Android malware in circulation than for iOS; a recent report by F-Secure goes so far as to say 99 percent of all malware that targets mobile devices is designed for Android. Where are all those eyeballs ML? I know. They are the eyeballs writing the malware! |

How does one contact the Marketing division of Linux?Where are all those eyeballs ... They are the eyeballs writing the malware! Good trolling there but wrong response. Linux provides the infrastructure. Marketing 'requirements' can abuse anything provided... The Linux kernel may be secure by design but is open to abuse when controlled by any rouge master... As is scarily sold now by various corporates for short term profit... Hopefully there will be enough strength of a backlash from Linux users to avoid Linux becoming poisoned in the ways that certain other OSes have so badly lowered users' hopes and expectations. Do we have a new age of slavery? This time to intrusive intrusion of online-privacy and Marketing driven victimization?... IT is what we allow it to be...

The Linux kernel may be secure by design but is open to abuse when controlled by any rouge master. The Linux kernel is not secure by design. Hence the name Open Source. Once, (oh must be more than 20 years ago), I bought a CD recorder. It didn't work when using Linux. What to do. Yes. Checking the code and corrected the error. After recompiling it worked flawless! Just one example how easy it is to tamper Open Source products. https://github.com/torvalds/linux |

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39901382 In the last 24 hours, about 40 companies in Sweden have suffered from the major IT attack according data from the MalwareTech data security blog. On Monday there is a risk that the virus will spread even more. And that's only in Sweden! One of the companies, Sandvik AB is a customer of mine. |

Who knows? Anyway. Apparently the web adress used was not registered. A UK security researcher has told the BBC how he "accidentally" halted the spread of ransomware affecting hundreds of organisations, including the UK's NHS. WannaCry update http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39907049 We can rule out Latvia:) |

Just for the heck of it, thought I'd peek and see what O'S crunchers are using, but https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/client_types.php is BROKEN! No idea how many down for the ransom. |

Too much reliance on technology or too much interest in profit only? Both. And don't upgrade a system that is supposed to work 24/7 the day before a holiday! Who's project manager to BA's IT system? |
