Hi nibbler. It was on about them but they had a guest expert on the live news, Crypto locker has been about for a few years, and its not breakable, gozues is a varient of another more modern one. gozues checks its attack servers acsess every week or so, so unless they have been really lucky, it will be operational again soon, a 15k bot net a a serious attack tool...

people from the dark side tend to try take control of bot nets and and use them to crack passwords or encryption, funny people from the dark side try take controll and add them to online shared computational resources.

Why are people worrying about bot nets, i would be more worried about what the people who used to build these things are up to now.

received this from the systems administer.

Good Morning

Over the last couple of days it has been reported by various agencies that we are potentially under threat from 2 new and particularly nasty Malware/Virus products.

The link below offers more information and I would appreciate it if you can take a moment to read the article from the National Crime Agency Website.

http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.u...omputer-attack


Whilst our network is protected from email attack and we all have local Sophos Anti-Virus nobody is ever 100% protected and having seen the damage the “Cryptolocker” virus can do we must all be vigilant as to what we access on Company equipment particularly personal email. Therefore, if you receive ANY EMAIL that looks dubious, offers security updates, or contains attachments that look suspicious EVEN if they are from senders that you know, DO NOT OPEN THEM and let me take a look first. As previously detailed this is particularly prevalent on ant personal email you may access through your company system as this email is NOT scanned by our MailDefender product.

I have been assured by Sophos that providing the local install of your Sophos Anti-Virus is up to date this will provide protection, to check if you are upto date look in the bottom right corner of your screen for the Sophos Icon and make sure there is NOT a red and white cross over it (this indicates it needs updating) if it does again give me a call. (your Sophos Icon will either be a solid blue shield or a blue shield with an “S” in the middle).

Best Regards

May make sense to Tools and co, all Greek to me

Re: Post up and share your examples of spam phishing emails messages #scamaware

Glad you are not dead FP!
Had an annoying telepest recently.
Either witheld or apparent Manchester code.
Something about quilifying for a free boiler.
Computerised call that starts before end of message.
Tps say nothing they can do as it is a spoof number snd all BT want to do is try and sell me a phone that blocks such calls.
Been very persistant at least every day round about the same time, ignore it when I am in.
