Dangerous new "infection", above all, devices that are running OS S60 3rd OS. MSS Bomber, "climbing" on the mobile phone, the phone connects to the Internet and immediately begins to send messages Viruses on arbitrary numbers. The virus also possesses its own resources for protection - "Freeze" in the phone, he takes control some functions of the device in their hands, "thereby denying the user the possibility to remove the virus. To confront the threat has already released an updated version of antivirus solutions Mobile Anti-virus 3.2, which helps the Chinese to deal with the problem.

Kaspersky Lab said on patenting in the U.S. hardware anti-virus system to effectively deal with rootkits. As part of the new technology are encouraged to use hardware anti-virus - a device neutralizing the most common type of threats - malicious programs which reside on a hard drive or infect existing files on it. The patented anti-virus checks the data to be stored on the harddisk, identifies malware and blocks their entry. The device is placed between the storage device (hard or SSD-drive) and computing unit (CPU and memory), connecting to the system bus or integrated in the hard disk controller. When using hardware anti-virus blocks or allows writing data to disk, producing reports of threats and their actions to the user (the dialogue with the user is possible if the PC hardware tools for managing anti-virus). The device can operate separately or in conjunction with antivirus software. Due to the hardware rather than software implementation, the new technology regardless of the con...

"Plizzz, give the key to anti-virus, ceased litsuha"! Who among us has not seen the mountains of such requests in the network? Some may even remember their similar requests. But what's behind them? Personal financial crisis? The contradictory desire to feel secure, safe to use hacked antivirals? There is no single answer will not let nobody, but you can definitely say that this is a mass delusion, of whom we'll try to get out. Do you, dear friends, that to date the number of illegal users of licensed software security exceeds the number of legitimate? This is anecdotal evidence, because officially confirm it until that very few people can, and even those who could officially confirm it, usually for one reason or another do not do. What is the problem, do anti-virus software and firewalls in fact so expensive that many people can not afford their own legally? No, no, no, it does not it. Just a mass of people everywhere and in all prefer that the well-advertised, to wha...

"Plizzz give a key for antivirus, ceased litsuha"! Who among us has not seen the mountains of such requests in the network? Some may even remember their similar requests. But what is behind them? Personal financial crisis? Conflicting desire to feel secure using unsafe hacked antivir? Single answer will not bring anybody, but you can definitely argue that this is a mass delusion, of which we now try to get with you. Do you know, dear friends, that to date the number of illegal users of licensed software security outnumber legitimate? This is anecdotal evidence, because officially confirm it yet very few people capable of, and even those who could officially confirm it, usually for one reason or another do not do. What is the problem, do anti-virus and firewall redirector in fact so expensive that many people can not legally allow them yourself? Oh no, not, it is not the point. Just the mass of people everywhere and in all prefer that the well-advertised, what say, only in nar...

Image by Getty Images via Daylife For many people, the word «hacker» associated with the word «bank». This is not surprising, because for several decades, crackers, who like to «get» a lot of money to pay their tactical look at the banks. And this is understandable: that may give the greatest amount of money, if not an attack on a major bank? But break the servers that control the transactions and accounts - it ungrateful. That will attract too much attention, and increased attention increases the risk of being caught. It is therefore much more interesting for an attacker with a very different version - it is to gain access to the assets of the bank's clients. Everything is simple enough: less than the scale-breaking - more likely to remain at large - is inversely proportional to, in mathematical language. It is at this, I would like today. In this article I will explain the following points: the type of work, and malicious software that specializes in banks and other financial or...

Today I will speak again about security. Analytical articles of this type, I usually begin with quoting the definition given, for example, from Wikipedia or a similar source. This material will be presented to my subjective opinion. For all the years of work in the field of IT security, I formed a view on the regional situation as concerning only the RB, as well as global. Today I will try to show the real picture of things. To get started, I would like, once again, focus on the meaning of «security». Will use simple words and explain everything on the fingers, so to speak. The problem is that security itself is not an end product or result. Safety - is a continuous process, which reduces the risks to minimize or even remove some. There is no difference between security in the IT sector, or in any other. If we are talking about isolating the machine from the LAN or the Internet, it completely excludes the fact of breaking the network, while retaining the need to maintain data from dif...
