Ericsson’s software is changing the face of Volvo vehicles – TELEPOLIS.PL

Ericsson gave more details about its plans to introduce the latest communication systems in autonomous vehicles. Due to the fact that autonomous driving is becoming increasingly popular solution, attention is given to irregular network coverage on highways, which stands in the way great achievements in the field of multimedia and performance.

At CES 2016 in Las Vegas, Ericsson and Volvo Cars announced a joint research program on the development of intelligent broadband solutions for data streaming, which makes both driver and passengers benefit from new solutions while driving autonomous vehicle Volvo. New technologies in the framework of the research program is planned to integrate with autonomous cars Volvo.
 

The connectivity features in cars autonomous announced by Ericsson use creative technologies to provide excellent experiences with the use of the media in such vehicles, especially on high-speed highways. This environment is particularly challenging because it is assumed that the capacity and management of data will support a large amount of mobile data when driving at high speed. While coverage is strong in static locations, it is very inconsistent on the highways and in the car, you can only use a limited amount of data.
 

The research program Ericsson and Volvo Cars will be presented with the latest autonomous car Volvo at the Mobile World Congress in 2016.

The number of mobile malware tripled in … – PCLab.pl

You are in the section Press Releases. Posted here materials have been developed by companies unrelated
with the editorial PCLab.pl or Group Onet.pl SA. Editorial PCLab.pl is not responsible for the content of this publication.

the amount of malware targeting mobile users has more than tripled in 2015. compared to 2014. the most serious threat was ransomware, malicious software being able to obtain unlimited rights on an infected machine and programs that steal data, including financial malware. These are the main results of the annual report, Kaspersky Lab devoted to the evolution of mobile threats.

Landscape mobile threats in 2015 in numbers

• Kaspersky Lab has detected 884 774 new mobile malware, which represents a threefold increase compared to 2014. (295 539).
• the number of new mobile banking Trojans fell 7 030 (16 586 in 2014.).
• 94 344 users have been attacked by mobile ransomware, which is a five-fold increase compared to 2014. (18 478).

There is a growing amount of software ransomware

2015 was a year software ransomware, which encrypts the data or lock the device, and requests payment of a ransom in exchange for the restoration of access. In the case of mobile software ransomware ransom ranged from 12 to 100 dollars.

The number of users of mobile products Kaspersky Lab attacked by ransomware increased from 1.1% to 3.8% between 2014 and 2015. The attacks were recorded in 156 countries, the most affected was Russia, Germany and Kazakhstan. The malware named Trojan-Ransom.AndroidOS.Small and its modification, Trojan-Ransom.AndroidOS.Small.o, were the most active in Russia and Kazakhstan. Small.o was the most widespread of all mobile ransomware programs detected by Kaspersky Lab last year.

The number of modification applications ransomware has increased 3.5 times, which proves that fraudsters see more benefit in making money on users through blackmail. In 2016. Is expected to increase the complexity of this type of malware and its modifications, and the target of attacks will be more countries.

malware with root access – another threatening trend

Almost half of the 20 most popular Trojans in 2015. were malicious programs displaying intrusive advertising on mobile devices. The most widespread in the last year were Trojans Fadeb, Leech, Rootnik, Gorpro and Ztorg. Fraudsters using every available method to spread the Trojans, including harmful banners, fake games, and even legitimate programs available in the official app stores. In some cases, they are positioned as legitimate software pre-installed by the manufacturer.

Some of these malicious applications can gain access to the administrator level. Such rights give attackers virtually unlimited ability to modify information stored on the victim smartphone or tablet. If the installation is successful, the malware will be nearly indestructible and will be able to survive even restore factory settings. Mobile malware with the ability to access administrator-level known since around 2011., And last year was extremely popular among cybercriminals. This trend is likely to continue in 2016 and in the near future.

Watch out for your money – Mobile threats Banking

Banking Trojans are becoming increasingly complex despite the decline in the number of their modification. Mode of action of these malicious applications has not changed: the penetration into the system / device malware “imposes” fake legitimate applications online payment or banks. But the scale of the use of this malware has increased significantly in 2015. Today, cyber criminals can attack several dozens of customers of banks located in different countries using only one type of malware. Previously they used the malicious applications that could only attack one or two financial services organizations in just a few countries. An example of a malicious application which could attack different targets is a Trojan Acecard, which is equipped with tools for attacks on users of dozens of banks and websites.

“With the obtaining by mobile devices more and more functionality, cyber criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated attacks, with which attempt to steal users’ money. Last year was a year of banking Trojans and software ransomware. Applications for advertising (adware) have been widely used to infect devices using more sophisticated malicious programs. Therefore, to be safe, you should purchase a dependable mobile antivirus solution. Keep in mind that it is much easier to prevent risks than to fight the consequences of infection “- advises Roman Unuchek , Senior Malware Analyst, Kaspersky Lab’s.

“Mokes” – the new malware. – News 24

The world of cybercrime is growing rapidly and with strong accents. And so it happened this time.

The company” Kaspersky Lab “, specializing in issues of computer security, confirmed the discovery of a new
malware. “Mokes” is the type of “Trojan”. Identified application is a type of multi-platform software – confirmed are versions for both the family of operating systems “Windows” and variations of “Linux”. The main objective of the application is to collect information at wykorzystanu cameras, microphones and keyboards in infected computers. All the collected data – the Trojan sends servers cybercriminals. Additionally – it is equipped with the ability to perform “screenshots” and registrations of all characters on the keyboard, which characterizes it as the greater threat.

At the moment the identified hazard occurs in the form of “Backdoor.Win32.Mokes” and “Backdoor.Linux. Mokes. “
experts” Kaspersky Lab “prepare the necessary arrangements for their products in order to dispose of the application.

Finally! It seems that Microsoft is getting better patch … – Antyweb

Microsoft (I think) ends the era of “soon”

If you regularly me’re on Antywebie (if yes – thank you, if not – encourage), it is noticed that for some time, Microsoft receives from me a little nudges more than usual. It went mainly for Lumia 950 and XL, which, despite its positioning as a flagship product, did not show its full potential even in action. Winne everything was underdeveloped from the beginning of the software, which competed with new models – on the agenda were / are pendants, restarts, generally incredible things. The man who bought the equipment for a significant price, and received the dose of emotion from the smartphone may have difficulty understanding the intentions of the giant. Similarly with Surface’ami – hybrids for a lot of money at first denied the idea of ​​mobility by errors in energy management. These already straightened, holders of such equipment can obliterate hands and say to himself:

No. Now I really get what I paid for.

Said error in the new Surface’ach is by both Microsoft and Intel. Microsoft fundamentally aimed chose him Skylake’ów implementation of the latest members of the family of professional hybrid, and not Intel made a name for himself with writing the appropriate drivers for Windows 10. the result was incorrect power management by Surface’y, sleep which is a kind of lottery, automatic wake up and problems with graphics. So true miracles on a stick – imprecise communication giant in the case of customers, long time to wait for the amendment meant that the Prime Minister Surface’ów turned out not to be “painless” .

Microsoft also took care about users the latest Lumii. What can you say about a new version?

After a long wait for any movement of the giant on the latest devices Lumia, we will see finally any updates. Just because it appeared, and so some very pleased, but it is worth mentioning that the upgrade should be the most important – that amendments. With the version for 10.0.10586.107 Lumii X50 can safely say in the direction of Redmond: “keep up.” And one would wish – a little faster. I am aware that the mobile business to Microsoft means to have less and less, but those who have decided, however, to spend money on these devices do not leave themselves.

Among the amendments implemented by Microsoft in the new version of software for Windows Mobile 10 mentions primarily the general improvement action handsets – this is a fact. the system runs noticeably faster, and although there are moments of reverie is (especially for applications written yet for Windows Phone 8.1 …), it is the better. although not perfect. Improvements to the quality Bluetooth connections do not have the opportunity to check because of the failure of the headphones, but as soon as I have the opportunity (and I will be soon), and check it. Microsoft Edge was not omitted and better deal with PDF files. Confirmed in larger file has no stability problem. It also seems to have disappeared mistake of appearing too long the search suggestions / pages when you type the address. Windows Hello allegedly consumes less energy and I could not yet confirm this. Outlook account do not report an error – it is also a plus.

As the m. In. Polish WPWorld, a lot can also change with the release of a new version of firmware for the new Lumia phones. The relevant update is supposed to appear this weekend, however, treat these reports with a grain of salt – not necessarily need to be checked. If, however, there are plans to release this patch, it will probably be necessary to supplement the above patches.

What’s next?

Customers expect mainly promised, frequent amendments. These are needed all the time – Windows Mobile now provides 10 large square building, but this is starting to look very pretty syntax. Prior to Microsoft, there is one very serious test associated with upgrading older devices to Windows 10 Mobile – we’ll see if the giant regained the lessons and he could do it as painlessly. Lumia 930 is waiting for the green light and as soon as the update (and this has to happen on February 29 – also treat less serious), it will be more or less clear whether the recent, unpleasant events were only an accident at work.

System upgrade Macs makes them vulnerable to attack – Onet.pl

Several years ago, when there were still shops with applications and automatic software updates, computer users have to download them manually from manufacturers, or from external web sites being journalists for this type of upgrade.

Most companies have already switched to modern and much safer systems, however, Apple still holds up fairly archaic system Sparkle, which distributes software updates for Macs. The problem is that the tool is no longer safe and could pose a serious threat to users. He discovered it one of the specialists. Safety hiding under the pseudonym Radek.

Radek actually discovered until two gap. The first, to establish a connection between the server software manufacturer and the user’s computer, uses a simple combination of HTTP instead of HTTPS encrypted. As a result, a hacker could use the attack Man in the Middle, strapping on the road communication both devices.

Second vulnerability is related to the way in which Sparkle uses a WebView component WebKit. Hackers can thus perform potentially dangerous Javascript code, and if the server host allows you to edit certain XML files, hackers could get into any computer system upgrade.

the good news is that, fortunately, not all applications use the network Sparkle are susceptible to these vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, those who are vulnerable, however, we include the most popular software on the Mac, such as VLC, Adium, Coda and iTerm. Fortunately, the developers have patched vulnerabilities on their side, so we can hope that soon the threat is eliminated.

Modern software Enea – Glos Wielkopolski

The company Enea will use in their laboratories with the STARLIMS system. The agreement between Enea and companies Selvita and Ardigen, which are responsible for implementation of the system, has already been signed.

in Kozienice Power Plant and Power Plant Bialystok. The system will manage the area taking into account the laboratory sample workflow, electronic laboratory notebooks or document management.

– class LIMS systems in the areas of laboratory, also in the energy sector, they are standard on the western market. We are proud to be the first company in the energy sector in Poland decided on such a solution – says Maciej Majewski, Head of the Laboratory of Chemical Enea production.

And he adds: – The new system will shorten the duration of studies , improve data security and minimize the risk of errors by the extensive integration of the measurement apparatus and systems of internal customers.

the joys of signing the contract does not hide the company’s representatives Ardigen. – Implementation of the project for the ENEA Group is for our IT team an interesting challenge. Acting earlier by several years as a division in bioinformatics Selvicie and for several months in the colors Ardigen, we have completed dozens of these types of deployments, but it is the first for the energy industry. Given that no other of the Polish energy groups do not use such an advanced system like STARLIMS can freely say that the Group Enea is becoming a leader in professional management in the area of ​​laboratory – he says Sebastian sour, Executive Vice President Ardigen.

Russian hackers have manipulated the exchange rate – Puls Biznesu

According to experts, a year ago Russian-speaking hackers introduced a virus known as a Trojan Cork to system Energobanku of Kazan. They led to the execution of orders of foreign currency worth over $ 500 million after non-market rates. Within a few minutes they caused a change in the exchange rate of the ruble to the dollar by more than 15 percent. This provoked a reaction of the central bank of Russia, who ordered the investigation of potential market manipulation.

Group-IB, which explored the mechanism of the attack on behalf of Energobanku announced that the software used for running the test can get into your system through seemingly safe websites or files. What’s worse, Trojan Korkowa regularly updated, making it invisible to antivirus programs. As a result, it infected 250 thousand. computers around the world and over 100 financial institutions, argues Group-IB.

– This is the first documented attack using the virus and has the potential to make a major damage – said Dmitry wolves, the head of the cell recognition in the Group-IB. – When malware penetrate the local network is intelligent enough to infect computers that are not even connected to the Internet – he added.

The Moscow Stock Exchange announced that its system is not compromised during the incident in February 2015. In its investigation, the central bank said Russia is not manipulating the exchange rate. He stressed that the fluctuations could be due to trader error.

The increased volatility in the currency market lasted 14 minutes. The exchange rate of the ruble to the dollar fluctuated during this period between 55 and 66 rubles, which significantly differed from the dominant market rate.

Energobank claimed last year that suffered 244 million rubles ($ 3.2 million) losses on transactions ordered by the malware. But there is no evidence that hackers earned on these operations. Group-IB warned that he could be the only test against future attacks. The company also said that the same virus was used in August last year, during the attack on the Russian payment card scheme, which resulted in ATMs were stolen hundreds of millions of rubles.
