<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After targeting ISIS Twitter handles, Anonymous hackers are now using a new weapon to target the online presence of Islamic State.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It should be noted that the Twitter campaign of Anonymous has backfired a little bit. Twitter has told that Anonymous-submitted lists have proved to be “wildly inaccurate.” Now the Anonymous hackers have decided to move on to more “serious” things.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Anonymous hackers have announced a new campaign of offensive hacking. In a Tweet, the @OpParisOfficial has tweeted:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If failed after trying to hack the ISIS website, the hackers are advised to flood the website with the Rick Astley’s song Never Gonna Give You Up (Also called “Rickrolling”).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As we mentioned earlier, Anonymous is being targetted for directing its attacks to non-ISIS Twitter websites. As a result, it seems that Anonymous is looking to make a move in the domain of their expertise i.e. hacking websites and DDoS attacks. The @OpParisOfficial has also tweeted that Anonymous has been able to shut down more than 11,000 ISIS Twitter accounts.</span></div>

Here’s Why Google Showed Narendra Modi’s Picture As First Indian PM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><img alt="image-result-google-blunder-narendra-modi-first-prime-minister-reason-why-" height="393" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image-result-google-blunder-narendra-modi-first-prime-minister-reason-why-.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b style="font-weight: bold;">SP's: </b><b> </b>If you Google “India’s first prime minister”, you’ll be getting the result with a picture of the current prime minister Narendra Modi. Know why this is happening.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Do you remember the time when Google was showing Indian Prime Minister’s picture in top 10 criminal’s list? Well, Google has done another blunder and once again it’s related to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If I ask our Indian readers about their first prime minister, I’ll get the answer Jawaharlal Nehru unanimously. But, Google thinks somewhat different.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Maybe the internet is too much crowded with the “Har ghar Modi, ghar ghar Modi” slogans and Google is confusing him as the first prime minister of India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you Google “India’s first prime minister”, you’ll be getting the following result with a picture of the current prime minister Narendra Modi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, I thought that this could be due to some website’s erroneous metadata, so I sniffed the web page’s source code and I found that the image shown was being served from the Wikipedia page of the List of Prime Minister’s of India. At the very top of this Wikipedia page, there’s an image of PM Modi, which is being served at the first prime minister result page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="image-result-google-blunder-narendra-modi-first-prime-minister-reason-why" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image-result-google-blunder-narendra-modi-first-prime-minister-reason-why.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Digging deeper, I found that the alternative text for image (one of the many ways Google recognises and serves images) is set as “Image result for India’s first prime minister.” Being an image hosted on Wikipedia, this result was prioritised and is being shown on the result page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope that Google (and Wikipedia) corrects this mistake soon and avoid serving such confusions in future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Update: It’s being reported that some users are now getting the result without PM Modi’s image.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Here’s How Hackers Can Control Your Entire Digital Life in Minutes

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><img alt="you-are-not-safe-hack" height="373" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/you-are-not-safe-hack.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Continuing our “steps to effective security” series, we are here with a true story that tells about the basic security precautions we forget to take and risk our digital lives. Read this article and stay informed.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the previous articles, I described the ways to protect yourself from hackers and how to detect if you’re hacked. Continuing my steps to effective security series, I’m here to tell you a true story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Very often, people using less technology in their lives, assume that they are not as prone to cyber threats as compared to the people using smart devices at home, storing every gram of their data in the cloud, and managing a circus of social networking accounts. People think that if they’are not active online, there’s no chance of being targeted by a hacker and facing some hacking attack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To break this notion, recently The <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/hackers-prove-they-can-pwn-the-lives-of-those-not-hyperconnected/?_r=0" target="_blank">New York Times</a> conducted an experiment that involved Mrs. Walsh, a grandmother of six, who volunteered to allow two hackers to try and hack her home. And wait for it- she doesn’t consider herself to be a very digital person. So, she’s kind of invincible, right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mrs. Patty Walsh tells that her home isn’t equipped with the so-called army of the modern day “smart-devices.” However, she has a Facebook page, but she doesn’t like posting personal things about herself. She mentions, “I don’t post things about myself and don’t really understand why other people do.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, that single Facebook account was enough for the hackers to uncover her entire digital life. Even though it was comparatively locked and here privacy settings were intact, the hackers found her Facebook account days before visiting her house.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The hackers noticed that Mrs. Walsh had liked a page maintained by Change.org and thus they got their first passage into her life. In just 10 minutes, they created a fake email from Change.org and fooled her into signing a fake petition via e-mail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The link in the e-mail led Mrs. Walsh to a malicious page, where she was asked to enter her mail, address, and password. Well, to save her from some actual harm, the hackers used a service called Phish5 that doesn’t store the passwords and just tests the phishing cons in the wild.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Most of the times we commit the blunder of using te same password again and again at multiple places to avoid confusion. But, this could prove fatal just in case any one of those accounts is compromised. Same was the case with Mrs. Walsh and she later confessed the fact that she was using the same password across all her accounts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="welcome-hackers-security-1" height="426" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/welcome-hackers-security-1.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Later, when the hackers visited her home, she greeted them warmly. On a heart-shaped chalkboard, “Welcome Hackers” was written on the front door. Inside the house, Reed Loden, the 27-year-old director of security of HackerOne, a San Francisco security start-up, and Michiel Prins, the 25-year-old co-founder of HackerOne, were welcomed with sandwiches, iced tea and deviled eggs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mrs. Walsh was surprised to see that the hackers didn’t fit the images she had in her mind and they even ended their sentences with “thank you, ma’am.” She said, “They’re very polite.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They had earlier compromised her online life by just a fishing mail attack and now it was the turn of her home. The hackers soon found a way to open her garage door using  a brute force attack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They also found ways to intercept her TV using its I.P. address and were able to control the television remotely. Doing something that Mrs. Walsh didn’t approve, hackers bought a three-hour package of a set of adult cable channels. Mrs. Walsh said, “What’s so wrong about getting into my TV. I can see how that would be a little shocking to guests.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now it was the turn of her PC and by compromising her router, hackers were able to control the internet. They also accessed Mrs. Walsh’s and her daughter’s mail accounts as the browser was set to auto-fill the passwords. Hackers used their access to send her daughter a mail: “Reminder: Change my password.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They also gained access to her PayPal accounts, here Social Security number, her insurance information, here air miles account and they even accessed her power of attorney forms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After scanning her PC, the hackers found about 20 malicious spyware programs, including a Bitcoin miner. The other programs were DefaultTab, FunWebProducts, SearchProtect, SlimCleaner and Supreme Savings, that being were used to spy on her browsing and serve annoying ads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Later, the hackers sat down for a debriefing with Mrs. Walsh, where they outlined the critical points and asked her to change all the passwords and use a password manager. She was also advised to use the two-step authentication and told how to beware of the phishing attacks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She was also advised to switch on the automatic updates on her phone and PC to keep them updated with latest security fixes. Later, she invited both of them to the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mrs. Walsh committed some mistakes that are very common, but it’s very easy to avoid them. Well, this isn’t a story that seems very strange or surprising. This can happen to everybody, including you</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I’ll be telling you the benefits and limitations of each tool and which kind of methods these tools employ to break the security of PDF files.:</span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. PDFCrack:</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">PDFCrack is my favorite PDF password remover software. It’s a password recovery tool that recovers the forgotten password and helps you to access the hidden content.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It recovers both the user and owner passwords from the password protected files. For those who don’t know, user passwords just restrict the opening of documents and owner passwords put restrictions like printing, changing, copying, comments etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This PDF password remover software works fine with PDF files up to version 1.6 protected with 128-bit RC4 encryption. The PDFCrack software deploys brute-force attack to recover the password.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">PDF Password Remover is a simple tool that removes the PDF owner passwords and works with a simple interface.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The PDF Password Remover software works with PDF files up to version 1.7 level 8 files protected with 128-bit RC4 encryption. This tool is easy to use but it doesn’t work with the PDF files with a user password and higher levels of encryption.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This PDF password remover software is a basic Windows program designed to unlock a file protected with encryption.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Actually it’s a PDF password recovery tool as it discovers the actual owner password and you can use a brute-force or a dictionary password attack method.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Windows 95 was the first operating system for many people and it changed the people’s perception of personal computing. Back then, the OS ran of chunky desktop PCs and people were loving the newly introduced Start Menu. Same kind of love was received by Windows XP and it still powers millions of PCs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, the Start Menu is once again back with Windows 10 and people are loving this addition.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>he maker of USB Killer is here with the USB Killer version 2.0 – a more advanced version of the computer frying USB drive. The Killer USB v2.0 is more refined as it now dumps the -220V directly onto the USB signal wires.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Earlier this year, I told you about the a proof-of-concept computer-burning USB Killer drive, which was designed by a Russian researcher known as the “Dark Purple” in the online world. He, along with his colleagues from his workplace, created a USB drive that could destroy a laptop in no time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, Deep Purple has decided to develop the USB Killer Version 2.0 – a new version of his computer-frying USB Killer pen drive. As you would expect, USB Killer version 2.0 is more powerful than its predecessor and is capable of doing a lot more damage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The researcher used a small board, a DC/DC converter, a FET, and a few caps to create the first USB Killer pen drive. When that USB Killer was plugged into the PC, the converted charged the caps to -110V and then dumped that voltage into the USB signal wires. This process was repeated till the computer or the port fried.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The USB Killer Version 2.0 is more refined as it now dumps the -220V directly onto the USB signal wires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The main feature of the new version of the device is increased twice, “output” voltage, it is now 220 (strictly speaking, minus 220). Also in the new version the efforts were aimed at making the device even more compact, as in the first version had slightly modifying the body, so that everything fits,” describes Dark Purple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the video below, Dark Purple shows how he destroyed his new Thinkpad X60 while testing the USB Killer 2.0.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After frying the laptop, Deep Purple wrote, “Do not worry about the laptop, the new motherboard is on the way – and the laptop will live again.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that it’s not a brand new concept and USB drive are used as a valid weapon to compromise the system in air-gapped network.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
