Are you all ready to have your computers infected to **** with the next 'Millennium Bug'. I think this lot are thieves rather than militants. I obviously have no ****ing idea what it's all about :
basically it is peer to peer virus mutation of and older virus. it uses infected computers to infect other computers and controls each without user realizing so its kind of like torrent streaming i guess. if you can't track back to originator you can't stop the stream as 100s to 1000s of computers all have a piece of puzzle. you still get the virus the same old way by opening emials that are phishing in short what seems to occur is the thing gets in and sees if its worth milking you ... ie take your money over time thus letting you run OR it decides you are good for a hit and it disables your computer and holds you to ransom
yes. its basically a means to get bank details out of computers thats hard to track than the older way of directly harvesting yourself
Scaremongering of the highest order, some of the biggest scares were fake viruses. More interesting is the software they are asking you to download and use. We are under attack constantly if we do the wrong things. Everyone knows the basic rules of avoiding problems, except if you are actually targeted, but that's uncommon unless there is a good reason to target you specifically. 1 Don't open dodgy email attachments 2 Don't go to dodgy websites 3 Don't install dodgy torrent software 4 Keep your **** patched 5 Keep your **** patched!
I think it is funny. The Chinese, UK's GHCQ USA's NSA and a few other countries too with the means to have been recording the phone calls of entire countries and collecting data indiscriminately on everyone and indulging in industrial and economic espionage as well as the latter two waging cyber warfare with China currently, and this gets headlines? Glenn Greenwald is about to release a list of individual NSA targets, am dying to read that list It's just funny, the internet is flooded with intelligence agencies software hacking people all over the world, we are already under attack, James Rien of the Washington Post reported on this in 2004, he's now facing life in jail over espionage charges for publishing leaked classified information, the fact it was proof of illegal activity is neither here nor there apparently. Trust nothing to your PC security, if you want it private do not have it on a PC connected to the internet
in short governments have a much better way of taking moeny.. its called taxes... people know all about those but these schemes are more scary as its possible to lose it all
No the crims like your cash, the gov ain't gonna steal it, as you say, they already are, well the banks, with fake inflation and the gov with taxes. You have to consider what is at stake with mass collection of everything you do, google probably knows you better than your wife, not you, as in the search engine user in general Here are the issues with 0 privacy no personal security and total surveillance and the risks. Political opposition, as proved in hte US fed gov using the IRS to target political opponents. Political dissent can be snuffed out, the internet is the place it is organised these days and with anti protest laws, now you are virtually as well as physically shoved into a 1st amendment zone as it were, you can protest here in this little box we have set up for you and surrounded with SWATpolice and dogs. People might say. "Oh I have nothing to hide." or "I am ding nothing wrong" Here's the caveat. YOU do not get to decide if you ARE doing something wrong. The intelligence people do, and we do not know where the bar is set and it constantly moves depending on their whims. They are out of control. All of this information is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands and we do not even know anything about who's hands this information is. in years from now, I could be arrested for some of the threads I create I mean I know some are **** but I don't deserve indefinite detention without charge.
it's actually classified files release that give us this information you clownish clown just cos the BBC keep it quiet doesn' t make it so. Cameron directly threatened the Guardian over this. Raided their offices, it is anything but a theory The location of secret British spy bases in Oman, tapping undersea cables in the Middle East, has up until now remained unpublished because of pressure from the government, according to a new article that reveals those details. British intelligence agency Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has three “above-top-secret” spy bases located in Oman, “where it taps in to various undersea cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian/Arabian Gulf,” Duncan Campbell reported for the Register, citing leaks by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The bases, codenamed “CIRCUIT” reportedly focus on Iraqi and Yemeni communications. NSA blowback: Top 8 political scandals sparked by Snowden leaks GCHQ spends tens of million pounds annually to employ two telecom companies, BT (codename “REMEDY” and Vodafone Cable (codename “GERONTIC”, to “run secret teams which install hidden connections which copy customers' data and messages to the spooks’ processing centres” and “install optical fibre taps or ‘probes’ into equipment belonging to other companies without their knowledge or consent.” GCHQ calls in engineers from BT whenever it wants to tap into a new international fiber optic cable, Campbell wrote. Currently GCHQ is believed to have access to more than 18 submarine cables coming into the GCHQ, including from transatlantic submarine cable Hibernia Atlantic, as well as three European connections. But the actual locations of their “access points” on the underwater, international cables are considered “Strap 3,” or three levels above Top Secret classification, while the names of the telecom companies are labeled one level lower, or “Strap 2.” According to Campbell, the British government threatened to move against the Guardian newspaper, one of the main publishers of Snowden leaks, after it posted “Strap 1” information on Project Tempora, which allows the UK spy agency to intercept and store for 30 days huge volumes of data, like emails, social network posts, phone calls and much more, culled from international fiber-optic cables. “The Guardian was forced to destroy hard drives of leaked information to prevent political embarrassment over extensive commercial arrangements with these and other telecommunications companies who have secretly agreed to tap their own and their customers’ or partners’ overseas cables for the intelligence agency GCHQ,” Campbell wrote in the article. “Intelligence chiefs also wished to conceal the identities of countries helping GCHQ and its US partner the NSA by sharing information or providing facilities.” Since the Guardian did not publish the information, the British government dropped its threat of injunctions against the paper, Campbell told Wired.co.uk. Last August, Campbell revealed in the Independent the UK operated a secret station in the Middle East that tapped into international fiber-optic cables, but that newspaper would not reveal the exact location. He said the information came from Snowden leaks, but Snowden denied any contact with the investigative reporter. “I have never spoken with, worked with, or provided any journalistic materials to the Independent. The journalists I have worked with have, at my request, been judicious and careful in ensuring that the only things disclosed are what the public should know but that does not place any person in danger,” Snowden wrote in a statement published in the Guardian in August. “It appears that the UK government is now seeking to create an appearance that the Guardian and Washington Post's disclosures are harmful, and they are doing so by intentionally leaking harmful information to The Independent and attributing it to others,” he continued. “The UK government should explain the reasoning behind this decision to disclose information that, were it released by a private citizen, they would argue is a criminal act." In the Register article, Campbell again cites the Snowden leaks. He refused to tell Business Insider how he got his information. “Journalists in the UK — just as in the US — do not reveal their sources, or respond to questions as to confidential sources. We protect them. That is our obligation and our duty," Campbell wrote in an email. When Wired.co.uk asked him if he had copies of the documents he quotes, he responded, "I won't answer that question -- given the conduct of the authorities." But he went on to say, "I was able to look at some of the material provided in Britain to the Guardian by Edward Snowden last year." He also pointed to the naming of one of the Omani locations involved in Circuit on Zone-Interdite, a website that finds covert bases around the world using photos from the public arena, as corroborating evidence. Campbell told Wired.co.uk there was no reason to keep the exact locations hidden from the public. "This is not something that affects national security," he said. "The information has been reported before, and the site as you can see is perfectly visible and it's one of many things the UK government and GCHQ sought to suppress from entering the debate." BT tapping undersea cables. Collection of entire networks data, and people are concerned about Zeus! If anything Zeus is a ploy to scare us into handing over our privacy.
Government intelligence agencies have direct access to telecommunication companies’ infrastructure which allows them to spy and record phone calls leaving no paper trail, the UK’s largest mobile phone company Vodafone has revealed. http://rt.com/news/164064-telcom-networks-surveillance-vodafone/ No paper trail, so individuals can just use this data for their own purposes, not actual official investigation ect. How are these any different from supposed Cyber attacks?
With Heartbleed sorted, Open SSL found vulnerable again, keep an eye on your accounts activities folks if you bank online ect. http://rt.com/usa/164020-openssl-mitm-exploit-bug/
up till this 2 of the last 6 posts are yours Besides, that last one by me was just passing on a bit of news that servers are not secure so keep an eye on what comes and goes that's all you unappreciative ****
