While the technical details are rather
complicated, the end result was that Apple
phones running that software were being used as
easy access spy bots, with hackers accessing the
camera, microphone, data streams and GPS.

Mr Robot: Mr Robot is one of the more popular
TV dramas on the circuit at the moment. I say
TV drama, but most people I know just stream it
on their laptops. It just so happens that the
show itself revolves around the exploits of the
titular character, a vigilante computer hacker.
So we have a show about a computer hacker
being streamed onto peoples computers. It only
makes sense then that some budding hacker in
our real world has created a Mr Robot themed
ransom ware which has been attacking
unsuspecting Pc users. Ransom ware is a type of
virus which encrypts files and folder on the
infected PC. Victims are then required to pay a
ransom to the hacker to receive the encryption
keys needed to unlock their files.
This particular ransom ware appears as an innocent PDF, but once unleashed it
changes the desktop background to an image of MR Robot as a warning, and
encrypts its selected file. Currently it is only encrypting a test folder, but it is
entirely possible that the creator will tweak the code to make it a lot more
malicious. In any case avoid opening unrecognized files. Can’t say I didn’t warn
you.
Headphones: It is common place now days to see
young people walking around with a pair of
headphones over their ears or around their
necks. With such large phone memories housing
all our favorite music there is no wonder why
headphones are so popular. Wireless
Headphones, however, are less popular but I can
personally attest to the fact that once you’ve
experienced the freedom of a pair of headphones
not limited by the reach of their cable, you’ll
never want to look back. Now, most of us are
aware that a good quality pair of headphones are
not so easy on the pocket, and changing from a
working wired pair to a wireless pair may seem
like an unnecessary cost. This is the reason that
a creative techie came up with a way to convert a
pair of headphones from wired to wireless. With
just a few hours and some borrowed tools anyone
can make the conversion. The full tutorial can be
