What is ransomware?

Ransomware is malware attacker 

May 12th 2017 saw the biggest ever cyber attack in Internet history (yes, bigger than the Dyn DDoS).  A ransomware named WannaCry stormed through the web, with the damage epicenter being in Europe.
WannaCry leveraged a vulnerability in Windows OS, first discovered by the NSA, and then publicly revealed to the world by the Shadow Brokers.
In the first few hours, 200,000 machines were infected. Big organizations such as Renault or the NHS were struck and crippled by the attack.
Ransomware has been a growing trend for the past two years, and this is just a culmination, a grand reveal to the wider world of just how big of a threat it is. But we’ve been writing about this for a while now.
Some time ago, a delivery guy walked into our office. While we signed for the package, he realized that we work in cyber security and asked:
My entire music collection from the past 11 years got encrypted by ransomware.

IDENTITY-BASED PROXY-ORIENTED DATA UPLOADING AND REMOTE DATA INTEGRITY CHECKING IN PUBLIC CLOUD report

IDENTITY-BASED PROXY-ORIENTED DATA UPLOADING AND REMOTE DATA INTEGRITY CHECKING IN PUBLIC CLOUD ABSTRACT More and more clients would like to store their data to PCS (public cloud servers) along with the rapid development of cloud computing. New security problems have to be solved in order to help more clients process their data in public cloud. When the client is restricted to access PCS, he will delegate its proxy to process his data and upload them. On the other hand, remote data integrity checking is also an important security problem in public cloud storage. It makes the clients check whether their outsourced data is kept intact without downloading the whole data. From the security problems, we propose a novel proxy-oriented data uploading and remote data integrity checking model in identity-based public key cryptography: IDPUIC (identity-based proxy-oriented data uploading and remote data integrity checking in public cloud). We give the formal definition, system model and se...

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT Authentication based on passwords is used largely in applications for computer security and privacy. However, human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as”the weakest link” in the authentication chain. Rather than arbitrary alphanumeric strings, users tend to choose passwords either short or meaningful for easy memorization. With web applications and mobile apps piling up, people can access these applications anytime and anywhere with various devices. This evolution brings great convenience but also increases the probability of exposing passwords to shoulder surfing attacks. Attackers can observe directly or use external recording devices to collect users’ credentials. To overcome this problem, we proposed a novel authentication system PassMatrix, based on graphical passwords to resist shoulder surfing attacks. With a one-time valid login indicator and ...
