Cheeky.... if you have an Android Smart TV.

New Android ransomware targets smart TVs | ExtremeTechQuote:
It seems like you can’t go more than a few days lately without hearing about another ransomware attack. Sometimes it’s just regular folks getting hit by the scammers, but it can also be hospitals, universities, and businesses. Now, a new version of the Frantic Locker (or FLocker) Android ransomware has started popping up that goes after more than your phone or tablet. The new FLocker can lock down your TV until you pay up. And no, it doesn’t care that Game of Thrones is on.
FLocker has existed for a while now — it’s actually very well-maintained by ransomware standards. The developer is constantly updating the package and adding support for new Android system changes. In a new version of the malware, the owners added support for Android-powered smart TVs.
Weirdly, FLocker won’t work on Android devices that are in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Armenia, or Belarus. The first thing it does when reaching a new system (you have to install it somehow) is check its location. If it’s not in one of those countries, it attempts to install a command and control system on the smartphone or TV. Android has more security measures than your average Windows PC, believe it or not. In order to take control of your system, it needs administrator access. This is where the Android ransomware diverges from PC ransomware.
FLocker-paymentYou can’t just encrypt important system data on an Android device without root access, which most devices don’t have. Thus, FLocker tries to get the user to grant administrator access, which allows it to control the screen and prevents it from being uninstalled. It starts by asking nicely, then gets serious with a fake system update warning. When it has admin, FLocker locks the screen to a fake law enforcement notice. As a fine for some unclear criminal activity, the owner of the TV or phone is asked to pay $200. Is the strangest twist yet, this fine must be paid via iTunes gift cards.
Because we’re not dealing with an encrypted volume, it is possible to fix the FLocker ransomware yourself. You’ll need a computer with the Android developer tools running. Using an ADB command, you can kill the malware process that’s locking the screen, then go into the settings and revoke its administrator access. That’s not an overly technical process, but you need to already have ADB debugging enabled on your device. If that’s not possible, you’ll have to factory reset. That may or may not even be an option on your TV, so Trend Micro suggest contacting the manufacturer.
Just dropped Chrome today. Am much happier with Firefox which can do everything that Chrome can and much more. The straw that broke the camel's back came in the last 2 days when Chrome started logging me out of all active web sites on the browser, including Google which I really need for my email. Every since I've been searching and implementing solutions I found surfing. Then I went over to Firefox and it was still logging me into gmail on opening the browser, which is my home page. And it remembered every login/password for all my sensitive, and most commonly used accounts, even though I don't remember logging on to Firefox except to copy and paste my repo to repos and comments. So it must have some kind of sync-up with Chrome or Google about password changes , if not, new accounts. But I'll soon find out about that as I imported all my favorites from Chrome, for the second time, apparently, as Firefox neatly put today's import folder next to the older one. So I'll check out the date stamps and size of both of them, if I have to delete one or the other due to duplicates.Quote:

Accept my apology. I should of thought of that as Tails runs off a USB drive. It does come embedded with Tor and it will accept other browsers except Chrome. :rofl:
Harry, see if you can check that out. :)
again, in this day and age, who is stupid enough to use a password manager
and after they complain that users are not savvy enough in terms of good security practices,
harry, a corporate IT guy, being the first offender,
priceless :rofl:
that's rich from someone claiming to run an IT department in a Fortune 500 company and then proceed to put the whole enterprise infrastructure at risk by letting users save all their passwords with a password manager,Quote:

Harry, you are a fucking joke, always been, but that takes the prize !!!
yes - I use one and do not allow browsers to save passwords - this is the only way to safeguard your login informationQuote:

I don't know if this has been brought up before but firefox has dropped Google's search engine as its default in favor of Yahoo. I was worried until I found out the reason: a better contract. Also, you can still choose Google as your search engine.
None of them are allowed to freeze out the competition, or else they'd be in trouble with regulators.Quote:

now tell us how again about your password manager, and how much you need it because your 2 brain cells can't work out a password strategy
I much prefer the options provided by Google, like an image search and images from a regular search which allow you to choose a gif.Quote:
