Russian Hackers Attacked U.S. Airports Websites

Several U.S. airport websites were temporarily taken down due to the attack of pro-Russian hackers last Monday. According to Andrew Gobeil, spokesman for Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, on Monday morning, they noticed that the external website was down and quickly ordered their IT and security people to investigate the said attack. He also said that the attack did not impact the airport's operations.      The pro-Russian hacker group known as "Killnet" used a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack to take down the said websites temporarily. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is a malicious attempt where the attacker's goal is to disrupt the regular traffic of a server, service, or network. This was done by sending many requests to the target, which overloaded resources and made them unavailable.      According to some reports, the attack launched by the Killnet wasn't intended to steal information or compromise the internal system...

Facebook's dark mode interface disappeared from iOS users

Last few days, Facebook users tweeted complaints about the disappearance of dark mode support in Facebook for iOS after updating the app. According to the tweets, many users cannot find the in-app dark mode toggle available in the "Settings" menu of the Facebook app. This means that you can't manually turn on the dark mode even if you want to use the system-wide support.      According to 9to5Mac , experts who share daily news about Apple, this is not considered a major bug. Still, it can affect the visual consistency of users who prefer system-wide dark mode on their iPhone or iPad. The system-wide dark mode was released along with the iOS 13 in late June 2020. After the release, many users recognized the support and began to use it regularly.      In web design, maintaining visual consistency is essential. This helps the users be conscious and unconsciously attached to the brand itself. It also allows us to be familiar with the app itself. So, changes in ...

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was sued again by Riot Games for plagiarism

     Last May 9, 2022, Riot Games filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California concerning the developer of MLBB, the Moonton Games . This will be the second time the Riot Games will sue the Shanghai-based developer of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang for plagiarizing their game.      According to the report, Riot wants to sue the developers of Moonton Games again for copying some of the splash arts for champions and skins on their mobile version of League of Legends, the Wild Rift. In 2017, Riot Games sued the Moonton Games for being a copycat. But the case was dismissed by the Central District Court of California for an issue of jurisdiction. Because of that, Tencent, the parent company of Riot, decided to sue the CEO of Moonton Games for non-compete agreement violations in China and received $2.9 million as a settlement in 2018.      Many thought that it would be the end of MLBB being a copycat of League of ...

FREE ANTIVIRUS APPS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE VIRUS?

Are you one of those people who easily download and install free antivirus or cleaning apps in the PlayStore to boost your gaming experience, clean excess memory, and block prevent viruses? What if I told you that those you trusted so much are more dangerous than the actual virus itself? What would you feel? Disappointed? Well, absolutely yes! That's why it is very important to always remember that "trust should always be put in the right place" because we don't know who to trust anymore. Last Tuesday, the Cybernews research team studied the top forty (40) antivirus and cleaning apps on PlayStore. The ranking was based on the counts of downloads or installations on the said platform. But the results are very shocking. "Since these apps are closely related to security and privacy, we expected them to set the highest standard possible. However, this was not the case – as only two apps did not contain any trackers," the spokesperson for the Cybernews research...

Novarg: The Worst Computer Virus in the World!

In 2004, the Mydoom virus , also known as Novarg , induced around $38 billion in damage. This computer virus was spread by mass emailing. The Mydoom virus works by scraping email addresses from infected machines. Then it will send a copy of itself to other machines connected to the same network that the infected was using. This kind of virus also brought infected devices into a botnet. If you are interested in computer hacking, you might already know that botnets were used for a hacking technique called DDoS or distributed denial of services. According to the report, the main goal of the virus is to shut down the target server. This computer virus was designed to either infect the client in the network or compromise the server directly. After the incident, the Mydoom virus or " Novarg " was considered the worst computer virus in the world. During its fame, the Novarg virus was responsible for 25% of all the emails sent throughout the world. But today, it is shocking that it ...
