Import data, not malware
Today we've released a cornerstone of the NCSC's security architecture practice - our pattern for safely importing data. This pattern is one we've been recommending in our consultancy work for many years, but it's being published on the web for the first time today. We hope you find it useful. The pattern incorporates some of the techniques we describe in our security architecture design principles.
New ransomware holds your data hostage unless you play “PUBG”
You’ll likely have heard of the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, also known as “PUBG.” It’s one of those uber popular online battle games where up to 100 people can parachute down on a random island, find weapons, and then fight each other until there’s only one player left standing. Millions of people love this game, but recently, people started to notice something weird… A group called the Malware Hunter Team noticed players of PUBG started reporting strange issues with their computers.
Feeling watched? How hackers can use your webcam to spy on you
Do you often feel like somebody’s watching? You might want to trust that instinct, especially if you have a computer at home or work. Malware and virus technology allows a hacker to view you right through the camera on your computer. This is called a RAT, standing for “Remote Access Trojans.” Malware on infected devices can record everything from keystrokes to files that you save onto your hard drive, and even record video from your webcam.
Don't be a victim of data-wiping with these tips
If there’s anything more devastating than ransomware, it’s a data wiping attack. Ransomware, at the very least, gives you a way to realistically recover your files; once a data wiping attack hits, all the files in your system are deleted permanently, and recovery efforts are significantly harder, if not impossible. To protect yourself, you may want to consider downloading an anonymous VPN, among other safety precautions.
Protect yourself against password attacks with a VPN
Many of your online activities involve personal accounts, from social media to online banking to e-commerce. These accounts accommodate information that you might not want other people to be able to access, which is why you use passwords. You know how important passwords are. They help protect your information from being accessed by anyone other than you or another authorized user. They help keep your accounts safe, especially from those who wish to use them without your consent for personal gain.
The August Trojan and how you can protect yourself
A new malware strain that can steal credentials and other sensitive information from victims without them knowing about it is currently making the rounds online. Dubbed the August Trojan, this malicious code can a steal a victim’s files and access their credentials, among others. Proofpoint made the discovery in December 2016 after observing multiple, highly personalized campaigns from threat actor TA530, with customer service and managerial staff as major targets.
A new malvertising campaign targeting routers
A new malware strain has been recently identified by Kaspersky Lab researchers as a Trojan that spreads itself via downloads in Android devices. Dubbed Switcher, the said Trojan uses Android devices to infect routers that the infected device is connected to. The Switcher Trojan conducts breaches against routers by employing aggressive password guessing attacks that target the admin web interface of the router being attacked.
How To Protect Your Device From Becoming Part Of A Botnet
Botnets are among the biggest online threats for enterprises. Because of the various ways a user’s computer or device can be turned into a part of a botnet, as well as the growing Internet connectivity among even the most commonly used items such as home appliances, it’s easier for hackers to expand their army of zombie computers to conduct increasingly powerful online attacks. Protect yourself and help stop other devices from becoming part of a botnet by downloading a malware security VPN.
Avoid these Five Malware Strains on Google Play
The Google Play Store is the primary source of apps for Android users, which is why Alphabet, its parent company, is doing everything it can to keep it free from malware. But even with the sophisticated and multi-layered scanning and verification process employed by Google Play, a few malware strains still manage to get into the store, putting a lot of Android users at risk.
