Another new malware, that is targeting Whatsapp, Facebook Messengers.That how target's your device.

Last time i have been informed you about a android malware called "Eventbot" Which is Mostly targeting Android devices to steal Banking information from android users. if it like this, 2nd malware discovered in two days called, "WolfRat" that attack Smartphones to steal Facebook, whatsapp, chat-messages, Call reacordings and more Sensitive data.

Securing your devices from hackers been quite difficult these days, hackers are finding new ways to attack our devices and steal data.



The researchers said

The Malware is pushed via phishing/smishing links to the target devices, Researchers found that the command-and-control (C2) server domain is located in Thailand.

The chat details, WhatsApp records, messengers and SMSs of the world carry some sensitive information and people choose to forget these when communications occur on their phone. We see WolfRAT specifically targeting a highly popular encrypted chat app in Asia, Line, which suggests that even a careful user with some awareness around end-to-end encryption chats would still be at the mercy of WolfRAT and it’s prying eyes.



How does WolfRAT affect Android Smartphones?

After phishing/smishing the malware on the targeted device, WolfRAT poses as legitimate services, such as Google Play apps or Flash updates, by using their icons and package names.

These are normally functional packages, with no user interaction needed. For instance, the malware uses a package name (“com.google.services”) to pretend to be a Google Play application.



The Malware once updates/flashes apps with its changes it enables a screen-recording feature. The screen recording is started when the RAT determines that WhatsApp is running.

So be careful while installing the new Application in your Smartphones. Do Not click on any suspicious links, Shared by someone. Do not install applications from third-party sites.

They will be subject to regulatory sanctions if they do not meet the deadline – by June 2019. The Bleeping Computer obtained a copy of the notification sent by the RBI. Banks will have to implement some security measures before replacing Windows XP with another newer system. In the first phase, which lasts until August 2018, banks should implement password in the BIOS of ATMs; disable USB ports; apply the latest security patches, and limit the access time of administrators. In the second phase, which runs until March 2019, institutions will have to take steps to prevent card cloning and will apply whitelisting to release critical access only to certain users. Last year, 70% of ATMs in India were still running Windows XP. The RBI warned banks about security risks as early as 2014 when the system lost support from the tech giant Micro

WHAT IS KERNAL(OPERATING SYSTEM IN SYSTEMS) AND DIFFERENT KIND OF KERNALS AND ITS FUNCTIONS. -BY SUNILKUMAR CHOUDARI A kernel is the core component of an operating system. Using interprocess communication and system calls, it acts as a bridge between applications and the data processing performed at the hardware level. When an operating system is loaded into memory, the kernel loads first and remains in memory until the operating system is shut down again. The kernel is responsible for low-level tasks such as disk management, task management and memory management. A computer kernel interfaces between the three major computer hardware components, providing services between the application/user interface and the CPU, memory and other hardware I/O devices. The kernel provides and manages computer resources, allowing other programs to run and use these resources. The kernel also sets up memory address space for applications, loads files with application code into mem
