  Samsung's folding screen tech has been stolen and sold to China
Posted by: scolli23 - 11-30-2018 , 11:14 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

(CNN Business)Samsung's latest bendable screen technology has been stolen and sold to two Chinese companies, according to prosecutors in South Korea.
complete story here: here
The Suwon District Prosecutor's Office charged 11 people on Thursday with stealing tech secrets from Samsung (SSNLF), the office said in a statement.
The prosecutors allege that a Samsung supplier leaked blueprints of Samsung's "flexible OLED edge panel 3D lamination" to a company that it had set up. That company then sold the tech secrets to the Chinese firms for nearly $14 million, according to the prosecutors.
They did not name the people or companies involved in the theft.
Samsung Display, a subsidiary of the South Korean conglomerate, said in a statement Friday that it was "surprised and appalled at the results of the investigation by prosecutors."
The findings come at a time of intensifying competition for new tech among rivals.

Prosecutors said Samsung invested six years and some 150 billion won ($130 million) to develop the bendable screen.
As demand for high-end smartphones begins to wane in key markets, companies have been searching for the next big thing to convince consumers to upgrade their devices.
Samsung's bendable screen had been hyped as a potential game changer. The company teased the tech at a conference earlier this month, showing images of a new folding smartphone.
Samsung is the world's largest smartphone maker, accounting for about 20% of global market share last quarter, according to research firm Canalys.

  Marriott: Data breach may affect 500M hotel guests
Posted by: mrtrout - 11-30-2018 , 11:04 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2018/11/...543579031/         Marriott: Data breach may affect 500M hotel guests      U.S. NEWS  UPDATED NOV. 30, 2018 AT 8:14 AM
Marriott: Data breach may affect 500M hotel guests
By Nicholas Sakelaris     Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Marriott said Friday a data breach detected weeks ago may have exposed the personal information of about 500 million guests at several hotel brands, including the W and Sheraton.

The world's largest hotel chain said it learned in September there had been unauthorized access to the Starwood guest reservation system. Marriott said it hired cybersecurity experts and eventually learned that data had been copied and stolen.

For about 327 million guests, the stolen information included a combination of names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, passport numbers, dates of birth and travel plans, the company said in a statement.

For other guests, hackers attempted to take credit card numbers and expiration dates, though it's unclear if they were successful. Some customers had only mailing addresses and email addresses stolen.  Marriott said it found its reservation database has been compromised since 2014 and unauthorized access could affect bookings made as recently as Sept. 10.

"We deeply regret this incident happened," Marriott President and CEO Arne Sorenson said. "We fell short of what our guests deserve and what we expect of ourselves. We are doing everything we can to support our guests and using lessons learned to be better moving forward."

Starwood systems will be phased out as Marriott makes security enhancements, Sorenson added.  "Today, Marriott is reaffirming our commitment to our guests around the world. We are working hard to ensure our guests have answers to questions about their personal information, with a dedicated website and call center."

Marriott, which bought Starwood hotels in 2016, said it's established a website and call center for guests concerned about the breach.    Oh no Eek Faint Fart Poop Shock 3 Shock 2

  VoodooShield Pro 4.68
Posted by: Mohammad.Poorya - 11-30-2018 , 09:03 AM - Forum: Giveaway of the day - Replies (4)

VoodooShield Pro 4.68

VoodooShield is the only user-friendly toggling computer lock that automatically locks your computer when it is at risk. VoodooShield’s core technology is known as Application Whitelisting, so instead of trying to block all of the “bad stuff”, we simply only allow the “good stuff”.
VoodooShield also includes a Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence decision engine and a multi-engine antivirus scanner with 65+ engines. VoodooShield might block a few items for the first couple of days, but it learns very quickly, so it will be as quiet as a church mouse after a few days and will simply lock your computer when you are browsing the web or checking email. VoodooShield is designed to complement your existing security software and is compatible with all of the well-known security products.
HOW VOODOOSHIELD WORKS
VOODOOSHIELD WILL TOGGLE BETWEEN ON AND OFF, DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU ARE AT RISK OR NOT
OFF Mode (Unlocked): Your computer is unlocked, and VoodooShield is learning which programs to allow so it will not block them once VoodooShield locks your computer. You can also change to this mode if you need to install or allow additional software. Your computer is NOT protected in this mode.
ON Mode (Locked): Your computer is locked and you are protected. When VoodooShield automatically toggles to ON Mode, it takes a snapshot of the currently running software, and automatically allows everything in this snapshot. VoodooShield also automatically allows currently installed software and specific critical Windows system files. Any software that was not allowed when VoodooShield was OFF is blocked.
NB: 1-year license.

  Major storm batters Atlantic Canada with snow and strong winds

Major storm batters Atlantic Canada with snow and strong winds
Environment Canada says between 20 and 30 cm of snow is expected
Elizabeth Fraser · CBC News · Posted: Nov 29, 2018 5:48 AM AT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago
A massive winter storm making its way through Atlantic Canada has forced school closures and flight cancellations, halted ferry services and left hundreds of thousands of customers without power on Thursday morning.

Environment Canada has issued weather warnings in New Brunswick, P.E.I., Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

NEWStorm Centre: Get the latest closures, outages and travel details
The weather agency said winds could gust to 110 km/h in mainland Newfoundland and Labrador, where snowfall amounts were forecast to reach 25 centimetres in the central portion of the province.


Strong winds and heavy snow have been pounding areas like Moncton, New Brunswick on Thursday. (CBC)

Northern Nova Scotia was expected to get upwards of 20 centimetres of snow, with winds gusting up to 80 km/h before conditions were expected to improve Friday.

Environment Canada said the northern coast of P.E.I. could see pounding waves and surf, possibly causing flooding, while eastern New Brunswick could get up to 15 centimetres of snow and blustery winds up to 80 km/h. 

Over 300,000 without power

Several school closures have been reported in the Moncton, N.B., area on Thursday morning. (Shane Magee/CBC)
More than 300,000 customers are without power across the Maritimes. Nearly 250,000 of those customers are in Nova Scotia.

Tiffany Chase, a spokesperson for Nova Scotia Power, said the problem affecting much of the mainland originated in Cape Breton, where heavy snow and tree branches on power lines caused an interruption in the transmission system near Port Hawkesbury.

Meanwhile, close to 39,000 customers were without power in New Brunswick. Most of those customers live in the Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe areas.

Marc Belliveau, a spokesperson for NB Power, said crews were being deployed Thursday morning. The utility also brought in five contractor crews in Miramichi and 10 contractor crews in Moncton.

NB Power likely blew its storm damage budget — and it's not even winter 
NB Power blames backyard power poles for extended blackouts
"The biggest issue that is causing outages is high winds — gusting to 80 [km/h] — which is causing tree contact with lines," he said. 

In P.E.I. outages peaked at 51,000 customers for Maritime Electric, and all 7,000 Summerside Electric customers were also out.

Drive with caution

Schools across Atlantic Canada were closed or had delayed openings, and ferry service between Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia was cancelled until the winds could die down. The Confederation Bridge between P.E.I. and New Brunswick had restricted travel.

Isabelle LeBlanc, director of communications for the City of Moncton, said streets remained slippery and covered with snow.

We have to be aware of the driving conditions and adjust our speeds and driving style to accommodate that.
- Al Giberson , general manager for MRDC
LeBlanc said salt crews have been out since shortly after midnight and snow removal equipment is clearing city streets.

But she still advised motorists to drive with caution while out on the roads.

"For now everything is business as usual for the City of Moncton."

Codiac Transpo will be out on the roads, but buses could be pulled off if winds start to pick up and reduce visibility.

"Our main concern right now is the wind and the wind is supposed to pick up," she said.

"So we're going to keep a close eye on that."

Reduced visibility

Al Giberson, general manager for MRDC, the company that maintains the Trans-Canada Highway between Moncton and Fredericton, said there was slush, and snow was blowing and drifting toward the Moncton area of the highway.

"There's going to be some reduced visibility in the eastern section of the Trans-Canada Highway this morning," he said.

The weather doesn't look too bad. So why is the power out?

  Kryptel Enterprise Edition Review and Giveaway (5 Lifetime Licenses with Upgrades)
Posted by: tarekma7 - 11-29-2018 , 12:06 AM - Forum: Expired Giveaways - Replies (40)

[Image: TMR8BTU.png]

The internet is not a safe place and the number of threats is growing. There are many new types that can compromise and steal your important data. Backdoor is a hidden feature that allows accessing user’s data without user consent. So, the security and protection of your data becomes very important. This will need powerful encryption with the ability to recover your data again at any time.  Encryption  means convertion of the source data to an unreadable form. This requires a key (password) that will be combined with the original data to produce the encrypted ciphertext. 

Kryptel is a program for secure file storage. It provides single-click encryption, encrypted backups, batch processing and more. It provides reliable protection of your data with well-known and proven encryption algorithms: AES, Serpent, Twofish, Blowfish, and Triple-DES. The program uses secret key encryption.  Kryptel is used by individuals, small user groups, or large user groups within the same organization.

Features:

Simple and Easy
Just right-click a file or a folder and select ‘Encrypt’ – or drag it to the Kryptel desktop icon.

Reliable Encryption
Kryptel implements the latest NIST-approved Advanced Encryption Standard; several more well-reputed ciphers are also available for advanced users.

Encrypted Backups:
Encrypted backups is another nice Kryptel feature for safe data storage. Thanks to strong encryption, Kryptel backup files can be stored anywhere – burned to a DVD, moved to network storage, or even sent to an online Web storage. No matter how many files your backup includes, you need just one click to create it, encrypt it, and send it to a Web drive.

Better Passwords:
A tiny typing error in the encryption password may lead to hours of frustrating guessing game. The Kryptel’s state-of-art password window simplifies password entering and makes typing errors less likely to happen.  Kryptel software package includes secure Password Manager, which keeps user's passwords and keys in secure storage and serves them over encrypted communication channel.

Failure Resistant
Kryptel makes every possible effort to ensure that your important data are safe. Even if the computer crashes in the middle of encryption step, no data will be lost. To make encryption even more reliable, Kryptel performs a verification step after every operation to guarantee that the just created encrypted container can be successfully decrypted.

And if the container gets corrupted due to a hard drive failure, Kryptel Data Recovery gives you a good chance to get your data back.

Easy To Automate
Everything that you can do with your mouse, you can do using the command-line interface. Kryptel fully supports batch mode encryption and server-side processing.

Take It Along
Kryptel supports portable installation and can be run from a flash stick or a USB hard drive. You don't need your desktop PC to access your encrypted files.

Fits Every Demand
Available in three editions: Free, Standard, and Enterprise.

Unlimited file size
While Kryptel does not limit file size, operating system limitations may apply. For instance, FAT32-formatted drives cannot hold files larger than 4Gb.

Additional ciphers and Kryptelite
Kryptelite does not allow cipher selection and always uses AES/ZIP for encryption. However it includes all the additional ciphers from the advanced product editions, and so can decrypt files created by the commercial editions.

Kryptel is available in three editions covering a wide range of user requirements

Free Edition (Kryptelite) is excellent choice for those users who use encryption only occasionally. While it lacks bells and whistles of the more advanced editions, it still does the job perfectly and provides the same highest level of security.

Standard Edition includes all the major features you'd expect from top-notch encryption software. Besides basic encryption/decryption operations, this edition can do encrypted backups and script-driven encryption jobs. Kryptel Standard includes powerful Kryptel Browser for inspecting and modifying encrypted containers, and can be run from a USB drive.

Enterprise Edition offers you many features which make it the best choice for you. In addition to the Standard Edition's features, you will enjoy the following:

If security and reliability is a priority, Enterprise Edition is what you need.
Kryptel Enterprise offers command-line interface for automated processing 
Can work in FIPS 140-2 -compliant encryption mode. 
In case of a hardware failure its Data Recovery feature will help you minimize damage by recovering data from the corrupted container.
Native 64-bit processing
Utilizes multi-core processors to speed up encryption

Seamless content migration:

This means that any content that you’ve saved to the default locations, from the last three versions of PaintShop Pro is easily at your fingertips.

Conveniently enhance photos from the Crop toolbar:

The Crop tool is one of the most popular tools in PaintShop Pro, so in addition to speed improvements, you can now access image enhancement options from the floating Crop toolbar. Apply One Step Photo Fix or one of six Instant Effects (based on our most popular effects). You can also apply a Depth of Field effect to focus on one area of the image and add a gentle blur to other areas.

Customize your user interface text size:

With higher screen resolutions, it’s nice to know that you can adjust the size of the user interface text to ensure that screen text is readable in a wide variety of situations. Choose User Interface menu > Text Size, and choose Small or Large. Note that Large text might overlap if used on non-high resolution monitors.

Enjoy a Simplified User Experience:

We’re committed to removing the obstacles that stand between you and your best photo yet, so we simplified PaintShop Pro to offer the best possible editing experience. Now it is easier to jump in and start editing with:

ENHANCED! Crop Toolbar: The power of Crop has been extended to include most-used photo enhancement features, including Instant Effects, One-Step Photo Fix, and Depth of Field. See it in action!

ENHANCED! UI Customization: Increase the text size of the main UI for better visibility. Choose Small or Large text from the User Interface menu to tailor the editing environment for the way you want to work.

Immerse yourself in PaintShop Pro 2019 to experience an entirely new level of creative innovation thanks to the exciting addition of:

NEW! AI-Powered Pic-to-Painting: Transform your photos into artwork by applying one of several artinspired looks in the new Pic-to-Painting plugin.

NEW! 360° Camera Support: PaintShop Pro 2019 lets you edit photos captured with a 360° camera. You can correct and adjust 360° photos before you upload them to a site that supports 360° viewing. For example, you can remove a tripod from a 360° photo or straighten it. You can also use PaintShop Pro’s powerful Adjust and Effects menu filters to correct some issues common to 360° images—brightness and overall tone issues, white balance, purple fringe, and sharpness. 360° photos can also be a great starting point for creative images. If you convert your 360° photo to standard image, you can apply fun Planet Effects or create a panorama-style image.

 Robert Tomaszewski  Nov 28, 2018        Hello all,

The holiday season is fast approaching, meaning you are likely to celebrate with family and friends. While gathered around a festive dinner, you might want to be up to speed with the latest news and biggest Netflix hits.

Opera 57 arrives today and includes a smarter news recommendation engine for your start page. The new version of the Opera browser makes it easier for you to stay informed on the latest news and enthralled by the latest Netflix series. Also, like and dislike buttons are on every news article for you to click on, helping Opera’s AI recommendation engine to deliver more interesting news to your start page.

Add on the usual bug fixes and UI touch-ups, and you have the best Opera browser to date. Read more about it below, and happy browsing!



Smarter news
We are happy to let you know that we have made the news section smarter. Thanks to an improved, AI-driven news-selection algorithm, you will now get personalized news recommendations on the start page.



To see the news articles on your start page, scroll down below your Speed Dial folders. You will receive recommended articles by agreeing to the terms presented at the bottom-right part of the screen. You can then select which news topics you would like to see. Click the cogwheel button to the right of the topics to choose different languages as news sources. Multiple languages can be selected to make your start page an international news hub.

You can also nudge the AI mechanism to offer more or less of certain news topics on your start page. Each article has like and dislike buttons, and hovering your mouse over any article will show the buttons. If you like the article and click the appropriate button, Opera will suggest similar articles in the future. That way, you will get a more personalized news experience in the future according to your likes and dislikes.

Netflix recommendations
Many of us face the daily issue of which series to watch next, and the urgency to find something new to enjoy is heightened during the holidays.

Opera 57 makes it easier for you to find your new favorite Netflix series or film in a special section in the news on the start page. When you find something to begin binge-watching, click the recommendation to have it queued up and ready to play on your Netflix account.



Netflix recommendations will be switched on in selected countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czechia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We are in the process of adding more countries to this list.

Opera 57 also features a new styling of the settings page, which has now become more compact.

We have also improved the page-opening mechanism to avoid flashbang impressions.
And, last but not least, you can now close pinned tabs without having to unpin them first.

We hope you enjoy your new browser. Let us know what you think!

Not just for specialists but for everyone!
Even beginners will have no difficulty using Ashampoo UnInstaller 8. With the redesigned user interface, every function is just one click away and complex procedures become self-explanatory. Enjoy hassle-free program removals without leftovers! Find out what's really going on your PC during installations and rid yourself of unwanted clutter. It's the perfect choice for beginners and pros alike!

The four phases of perfect uninstalls
Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 combines four different techniques to eliminate installations down to the last byte. Log files created by UnInstaller 8 during installations are the most reliable approach since every file and Registry modification is recorded. Uninstall scripts provided by each program are also used. If a dedicated profile is available, it will also be processed. Finally, a deep system scan is run following the uninstall procedure to detect and eliminate any leftover files and Registry modifications!

Program profiles for clean uninstalls even without logs
Until now, completely removing unlogged installations was difficult with both files and Registry keys often being left behind. Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 features installation profiles for many popular applications for complete removal even without dedicated logs. This is especially useful for complex setup routines and, in tandem with our Deep Clean technology, guarantees perfectly clean uninstalls down to the last byte!

A guard for always-on protection
Ashampoo UnInstaller 8's installation guard constantly monitors your PC while being incredibly lightweight on system resources. But even if you remove applications through Windows' default means, UnInstaller will perform deep system scans to make sure nothing gets left behind. In most cases, UnInstaller will even detect the beginning and end of installations automatically so you won't have to do a thing!

You asked for it, you got it: secure and permanent file deletion
Numerous UnInstaller users have asked for a hassle-free module to permanently and irretrievably delete sensitive files. File Wiper does exactly that and with military-grade precision! By overwriting existing files multiple times, even special tools can no longer recover your sensitive data and your privacy stays intact!

A step beyond file deletion - shredding!
Many files that are removed during uninstalling contain sensitive information like user profiles, payment methods or passwords and should be permanently deleted. Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 includes military-grade file wiping technology to protect your privacy. This ensures sensitive data is irrevocably deleted and no longer accessible even for special tools!

Unmatched ease of use
While other uninstallers have you slog through various submenus and dialogs, Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 makes everything easily accessible. Simply drag a desktop shortcut on UnInstaller's program icon to start uninstalling or browse through program categories or review recently uninstalled applications with a single click on the start page!

DETALIST 

For a clean and fast PC without unwanted programs, toolbars, plugins or Windows apps!
Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 improves on the strengths of its predecessor! New profile-based uninstalls help completely eliminate unlogged or convoluted installations and system-default uninstall procedures have been augmented with automatic deep scans. The new drag and drop feature allows for instant uninstalling of applications while the integrated file wiping technology permanently deletes sensitive data. All cleaners have been updated and support for Opera has finally been added! Discover a more vibrant user interface with more useful details and speedier work flows and rid yourself of unwanted programs once and for all!

Uninstall without leftovers
Windows only deletes what default installations mark as deletable - and that is very little! Leftover files, Registry entries or invalid links frequently remain after default uninstallations. These frequently cause errors or system slowdowns. Thanks to sophisticated search and cleaning mechanisms, Ashampoo UnInstaller 7 locates and eliminates leftovers down to the last byte!

Faster and safer web browsing
Unsafe, unwanted and malicious plugins are present in millions of browsers. Though disguised as nagging toolbars or seemingly helpful add-ons, Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 finds them all! Track down extensions that manage to stay hidden from your browser, review them easily with the help of built-in ratings and get rid of them if need be.

Take full control of your Windows apps
Every Windows installation comes with various default apps that are often hidden and not easily removable. Retake control of your Windows with Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 and get rid of those unwanted applications!

Installation monitoring with in-depth cleaning
Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 creates logs that fully document program installations and guarantees program removal without leftovers. Nothing can hide from the installation monitor. Installations that weren't logged can still be efficiently removed thanks to a smart deletion mechanism. An in-depth cleaning algorithm ensures that no longer required files and entries that would otherwise remain on your system will be deleted without exception.

The sonar for your PC
Snapshots give you a powerful tool to understand even the most complex installation procedures. By comparing two snapshots (before and after states), the program can detect even minute changes to your machine. Whether you want to know which Registry entries were created or where data was copied, you'll find every information neatly arranged and clearly laid out in this application. Fans of previous versions will be happy to hear that you can also merge two snapshots to create a more complete installation log!

No more problems with nested installations
Modern software frequently relies on nested setups that install several programs in parallel and this is where many competing products fail. Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 will never fail you! Even the most complex of installations can be undone in a flash and step by step. You decide what stays and what goes!

Clean uninstallations without logs
Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 logs program installations and guarantees their removal without leftovers. Installations that weren't logged can still be efficiently removed thanks to a smart deletion mechanism. You can now get completely rid of old and no longer needed programs!

Here's the perfect way to uninstall programs, toolbars and plugins.

Ashampoo UnInstaller 8 combines four different techniques to eliminate installations down to the last byte. Log files created by UnInstaller 8 during installations are the most reliable approach since every file and Registry modification is recorded.

  Fileless Backdoored Trojan Spreads Using Worm Living in Removable Drives

The Trojan comes with key logging and DDoSing capabilities
Nov 27, 2018 20:53 GMT  ·  By Sergiu Gatlan  ·  Comment  · 
BLADABINDI RAT
A Windows worm propagating through removable drives has been observed by Trend Micro spreading the BLADABINDI Trojan with backdoor, DDoS and RAT capabilities.

The BLADABINDI Trojan has been used in multiple cyberespionage campaigns because of high adaptability which allows bad actors to tailor it for specific targets, seeing that it can be used as a backdoor, for performing DDoS attacks when using it as a botnet, and for exfiltrating user info using its keylogger module.

Trend Micro spotted a new malware campaign which supposedly uses a Windows worm strain the security company dubbed Worm.Win32.BLADABINDI.AA to install a fileless version of the BLADABINDI backdoor.

BLADABINDI uses the AutoIt scripting language to compile both its dropper script and the payload it drops on compromised machines while using UPX packing to obfuscate itself making detection a lot harder.

Once the Trojan reaches a new system, it will look for and delete Tr.exe binaries from the temp folder and installs its version of it, while also making sure it achieves persistence by copying itself into the Windows Startup folder and creating an AdobeMX registry entry which uses reflective loading to load the malware from memory.

This BLADABINDI variant uses multiple techniques to achieve persistence
Loading the malware from the system memory makes BLADABINDI a fileless malware allowing it to go undetected by anti-malware solutions that only scan the system drives.

"Since the executable is loaded directly from the registry to the memory of PowerShell, we were able to dump the specific address where the malicious executable is located," said Trend Micro in their analyis. "And we found out that it is .NET-compiled, which uses a commercial code protector software for obfuscation."

This BLADABINDI strain comes with multiple backdoor tools from keylogging and stealing credentials from web browsers to retrieving and executing files.

The fact that this BLADABINDI variant uses removable drives to spread itself makes it especially dangerous for enterprises and users who use such devices to share documents.

"Restrict and secure the use of removable media or USB functionality, or tools like PowerShell (particularly on systems with sensitive data), and proactively monitor the gateway, endpoints, networks, and servers for anomalous behaviors and indicators such as C&C communication and information theft," advises Trend Micro.

  Windows Defender Can Detect Accessibility Tool Backdoors
Posted by: tarekma7 - 11-27-2018 , 11:16 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:Windows Defender will now detect when accessibility programs such as sethc.exe or utilman.exe have been hijacked by an Image File Execution Options debugger so that they can be used as a backdoor. 

For those who are not familiar with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options Registry key, it allows a user to assign debuggers to a program so that they are automatically started when the program is launched. This makes it possible for developers to easily debug their programs when they executed.
