The threats facing Android and macOS differ, but the bottom line is the same: They’re vulnerable and users need to be aware of how easy it is to become infected. Android controls nearly 90% of the mobile market, and Macs continue to be popular (though they’re still a sliver of the overall desktop OS market share). It may not even be correct to call Android and macOS the “other” platforms anymore. Security incident response: Critical steps for cyberattack recovery (TechRepublic Premium)
The 10 best antivirus products you should consider for your businessĨ enterprise password managers and the companies that will love them
As Apple’s market share has increased malware that targets its products has skyrocketed, and the same has been true for Android devices. It’s a long-held belief that Macs aren’t vulnerable to malware, and unfortunately for the overconfident that’s anything but true. In contrast with the known threats faced by Windows computers, Malwarebytes says Android and macOS are more vulnerable than many people think. Peak performance is the metric by which top performance is gauged in supercomputing.Malwarebytes released a report today on the malware threat faced by what it calls the “other” platforms: Android and macOS. Crusher is essentially a miniature version of Frontier, the country's first exascale supercomputer expected to come online in the second half of 2022, which means an already late system (Frontier was supposed to appear in 2021) is even later than expected (appearing after the expected ISC 2022 incarnation of the Top 500 list).įrontier is a much-hyped system that is expected to provide at least 1.5 exaflops of theoretical peak performance, with some sources claiming two exaflops based on unpublished conference material. The US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory said on Monday that four well-established research projects are using the test system. And the tiny testbed, named "Crusher" is already faster than previous top US supercomputers. The United States has opened up a small but powerful test system for researchers to get a taste of what is expected to become the country's fastest supercomputer and one of the world's fastest.
While Intel is pushing the envelope for frequency with the Core i9-12900KS by using the best silicon from its fabs, AMD is relying on 3D die-stacking technology to significantly expand the cache in its processor family, to 100MB of L2 and 元, for a performance boost. This means Intel's premium gaming processor will arrive two weeks earlier than AMD's latest top offering, the eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which has been heralded as the "ultimate gaming processor" by its designer. Intel said the component will be available from retailers and system builders starting April 5. Intel announced on Monday it will expand its 12th-generation line of PC-grade microprocessors with the "special edition" 16-core chip, which the US giant said is the "world's fastest desktop processor," due to its 5.5GHz max turbo frequency. The CPU horse race continues between Intel and AMD, this time with the impending availability of Intel's Core i9-12900KS, which is said to be able to hit 5.5GHz on two cores. MalwareBytes subsequently concluded that LavaBird was not to blame but was the victim of a social-engineering attack through which a malicious third-party takes over a popular app. After that in a week, we transferred an application to buyer Google Play account – it was the 7th of December.” “The buyer was given access to the Google Play console of this application and he updated it himself.
“The update that we published from our account was made by the buyer to verify the key and password from the application,” the company said.
® Updated to addĪfter this story was filed, LavaBird wrote to us to say the company had sold Barcode Scanner to a third-party, and the malicious code was added by the buyer while the app was still associated with LavaBird’s Google Play account. The outfit also identified 51 other apps that exhibited the same adware behavior. In June last year, security biz TrendMicro reported finding two adware-laden barcode reading apps in Google Play, with 2m downloads between them. Switching up barcode scanning apps appears to be popular. He said he's not sure how many people actually installed the update, and added that Google Play Protect has not removed the app from Android devices. Collier, via a spokesperson for Malwarebytes, said the antivirus biz could not confirm when Google removed the app but it was after he posted about it on the Malwarebytes forum on December 24, 2020.
