That's exactly how we deal with it when a user is stupid enough to click where they shouldn't. backups really help. also gives IT a chance to have a clear out of some old junk and keep it only in archives.

In each case the user rights of the offender were the limits of the infection. We did change the rights of the users and imposed stricter program execution policies to prevent further hassle. Also some user training helped them spot what they were about click on.

these minor attacks really helps our systems to evolve a little and not one bitcoin was ever paid.

with a widespread problem in india, they must have had either a very flat rights for the users or poor policies in genral. it should be a wakeup call for them

Nah, it's just under educated, power hungry people having a stab at being relevent in a digital age they don't understand and have only ever had it explained to them in terms of ultra-polarized, thin on detail rhetoric.

You can't teach a moron anything. Stop trying.

Becoming? lol.. that ship has sailed.

Too damn right! It's a shithole that is only getting worse. Lived in lovely france for 9 years and came back to the UK to find a hostile, unfriendly, big brother watching you, tax the shit out of the them, country. All the good things of the past are gone and the future is looking more and more bleek. Back to France soon me thinks. This is one rat that is going to swim for it!

You seemed to overlook the stats about 29 countries (742.5 million people) with only around 1200 gun deaths a year.. That's around double the population, with 10.18million km2 of land mass and Vs USA with 9.8million km2. But read it anyway you like. Looks like the largest problem is the population having mass access to guns, with only a 3 war torn countries suffering more gun deaths than the land of the free. Though to be fair that does mean the American people are free to kill each other and that's quite constitutional. True there are some small plus points to owning a gun but the stats point to it being of more danger to the gun owner than anyone else. Saftey first.

Gun ownership was widely legal once in Europe, but then they woke up and mostly banned them. Something the pro-gun Americans seem not to have learned from Europe yet.

From a purley humanist stance, it's sad to see so many people die, let alone in a country not at war on it's own soil. Many Americans would agree and a growing number are in favour of gun control, so there is hope yet. It's a shame that the population are more danger to it's self than any attacker could be

With so many great things to give the world, the gun culture is a stark opposite and a proven menace. The country could go from world leader in many areas, to flagship roll model for the entire planet if the shameful self culling nature could be curbed. It just doesn't make sense which ever way people try to rationalise it.

Also, not french or living there.Yeehaa, peace out. (not American style "peace" though, we don't need that much blood spilt)

11000+ gun related deaths a year in the states, in France there is well under 100 a year (this year will be a blip in the stats) due to gun control. By the time they have 11000 people dead from guns the states will have lost 1.2 million people to guns. Yeah guns make it safer, yeehaa!

The reason a gun free zone didn't work is because it was a tiny island of about 100x100 yards and surrounded by an entire nation of gun weilding people who fail to see that killing machines are not a very good way to keep people safe. There are only 3 other countries in the world with more gun deaths than the states, 3! Afghanistan, Iraq and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 2014 the USA had almost 10x the gun deaths of the entire of Europe, including Iceland.

The argument that guns make you safer, is of course just not true. The motivation for repeating the myth "Guns make you safer" is unclear, but at least anyone with a rational mind can see it's at least not the case.

The only thing the imac brought to the world was the mass overuse of the blue LED and the 'trend' for housing devices in coloured translucent plastic. Any self respecting mac user from back in the day shunned the imac as the pile of crap it was and stuck with their much more geek friendly towers. The only place the imac really caught on was in public use applications due to it's all in one design and for tech unsavvy punters who wanted a computer and were suckered in my the bright blue light and colourful plastic. It was Apple's single most craptastic creation ever and should be struck from the records in shame. Take off the rose tinted glasses and put down the weed.

This may well be true and the NSA might be ending spying on it's own populus, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they have just subcontracted the work out to a foreign company (that the NSA probably own or setup) to do the work for them from outside the borders. Just like they are doing with the internet metadata.

The people we most need to fear are the ones making laws to suit them selves, that let them fund sceret projects for everything from nuclear war to hacking the phone calls of a 7-11 manager because he has a beard and prays to the east.

Since when have facts got in the way of an American corp getting what it wants in the courts? The entire country's legal system is based on stringing out arguments to define tiny bits of language in the text and twist the whole thing untill up is down, black is white and the proponent with the biggest wallet wins the law suit. Facts have nothing to do with it.

the 1984 bit is true! the law they currently use to thinly vale some sort of legallity was written in 1984. I also felt that if any kind of attack happened then they would jump on that band wagon to rush this through the house asap with no time for any real informotive feedback or proper protest from the public or other parties. Another total loss of libertie all in the name of keeping us safe.. year right. police have been caught using the terror powers for trivial stuff and internal investigatings aginst staff, so who knows what they will do with this new range of powers. not to mention the cost of storing all that data will be passed onto the people being spied on. Time to get end to end vpn up and running before the bill passes. That or move back to France where they are far less evil to their own people.

Lets not also forget that this is not the full detail of the bill and Ms May said that there will be other power added to it after it has passed. Meaning this is the thin end of a large wedge into personal libertie. Having to have encryption that they can crack means sub 2048 key strengeth. basicly if they want encryption that is possible to crack then every motherlover on the internet is going to crack everything. Online banking, online shopping of any kind, secure websites for work, vpns and even you phone encryption will all be illegal as they can't crack any encryption that works. so if we all only use 256bit keys then anyone with a calculator and some time could crack anything they wanted. It's technically unworkable, any business with any sense would leave the UK and run for cover as it would just a hack-fest-free-for-all, in the name of security from the government, an entitie well known for not knowing what security is or even understanding the basics of how it works, let alone digital security. If this passes I'll quit my job and move to another country. Can't wait for IS to hack every bank in the UK for funding, see if that wipes the smile off Theresa May's face. She doesn't have a clue.

"Can we please elect someone who can actually fix things?" 44 times of asking, so far is appears not. Looking at the next crowd of world haters lining up for the job, the future doesn't look bright.

Knowing the streets of London, there are lots of kurbs, sunken manhole covers, uneven paving slabs and just hundreds of road crossings. This thing better have some clever way of keeping moving over quite rough ground without getting stuck. Meanwhile if it's carrying anything worth delivering then someone will try to have it away. Also most Londoners don't live on the ground floor, how does it get the attention of the target person to come and meet it in the street? The project will probably fail and the police will hijack it and use them as camera drones. Maybe even parking enforment.

The US is already the worst thing to happen to planet earth! Most poluting country on earth by a long way, most weapons built and then sold on to feed wars around the world all in the name of making a dollar. Ruined the internet for everyone and not just with the more recent NSA stuff, but with things like the digital melenium act etc. Setting up private islands and using them as non trial/conviction detention centers for it's own goals. millitary drones, starting more wars than any terrorist group ever and justfying these combats anyway it likes by lying to the public and the world. Then leaving before the was is over, declaring the war is won (when it's still ongoing and not won by either side) just to save face and few dollars.

How can a country that uses millitary grade equipment in it's police departments to be used aginst it's own people, be judged as anything other than pure evil? I doubt that the people on the street are as bad as the governments that have brought about all this global missery but the ever growing list of haters don't care.

Then to find and talk about weather judges are just lap dogs or puppets to the larger super secret evil powers that be, of course they are. The US has been found to lie about anything and everything it has been caught doing ever and even the things it wriggled out of. it's even had presidents impeached and one who just wormed his way out of it. Bush is a war criminal and walks around a free man, some whistle blowers are locked away and will unlikely ever see the light of day again.

Let there be no doubt, the US has already caused millions on deaths around the world with it's action in the last 60+ years. With attempts from gouvernments for extra spying powers being the current wave of change, do you think they are going to change in a direction that is best for anyone but the few people that hold power?

you speak as if this is a future about to happen, wake up and smell the coffee, it's long since started.
