Ransomware targeting Mac users was recently discovered on torrent sites

Image
A piece of ransomware targeting the Mac has been making the rounds on torrent sites. The ransomware disguises itself as an app installer for Little Snitch. The software itself isn't especially sophisticated but macOS users, as a general rule of safety, should refrain from downloading pirated software. Mac malware doesn't come along all that often, but when it does it tends to make headlines. The most recent instance of malware targeting Mac users is a piece of ransomware that comes disguised as an installer for the Little Snitch app. The installer link is currently making the rounds on torrent sites and was first noticed on a Russian forum, according to a report from Malwarebytes Labs . It's worth noting that the ransomware in question doesn't appear to be particularly sophisticated compared to some other malware strains we've seen spring up in recent years. Continue reading...

Image
You’ve likely heard the phrase Internet of Things, or IoT, at some point if you have been following any tech news in the last several years.

Simply put, the IoT refers to the connection of devices (other than typical fare such as computers and smartphones) to the Internet. Cars, refrigerators, juicers, wine racks, heart monitors, ovens, watches, and more are all candidates for connection. A new report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, called   IoT 101: The Essential Guide to the Internet of Things , outlines the basics of the IoT and what this next wave of technology means to the everyday individual. The report dives into key IoT terms, predictions and trends for the IoT in the next five years, the industries that the IoT will affect the most, and the biggest challenges facing the IoT.

Goldman Sachs economist just said the most obvious thing ever about face masks

Image
Goldman Sachs' chief economist has said that a national face mask mandate could not only benefit public health, it could even go so far as to save the economy. He made the claim in a note to clients Monday, arguing for a national requirement that everyone wear face masks in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. This comes as President Trump has voiced skepticism about face masks, while former Vice President Joe Biden has said he would sign an order requiring them. With health experts now issuing dire warnings about the trajectory of the coronavirus pandemic over the coming weeks and months, economists are now weighing in with recommendations for what they think ordinary people can do to bend upward slope of cases in the US. Are you ready for this? It's a really simple recommendation, and most of you are probably already doing this anyway -- it's just the holdouts amongst you who are presenting such a worrisome exception right now: Wear. Your. Face. Mask. “We find

Microsoft will ban Forza players who add the confederate flag to their digital cars

Image
If you play Forza Horizon or Forza Motorsport , you have some freedom to personalize cars in the game, even adding your own custom designs. One popular example: players have used the feature to recreate the General Lee , the 1969 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard , in almost every single Forza game since at least 2007 . But the General Lee famously includes the controversial confederate flag on its back — and Microsoft has just announced it will ban players who use that symbol (among others) in the game. In a statement posted on Twitter last Friday, Microsoft updated its enforcement guidelines to have a zero-tolerance policy for any player using the confederate flag or other symbols that represent “ notorious iconography ,” including Nazi imagery and the rising sun, which can be a symbol of Japanese imperialism . Microsoft will not automatically ban players that create designs with these controversial images; instead, the original designer will need to be reported by submitti

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ will return to HBO for season 11

Image
HBO renewed Curb Your Enthusiasm for its eleventh season on Tuesday. Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted on HBO in 2000, and has run for 100 episodes. The show technically ended after the season eight finale, but David revived it with a ninth season six years later. Unsurprisingly, HBO didn't say anything about the release date for season eleven. Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted on HBO nearly 20 years ago, and it might be another 20 years before it ends, as the network has renewed Larry David's long-running, loosely-scripted sitcom for an eleventh season. Much like Seinfeld before it, Curb Your Enthusiasm has never been defined by plot, but over the years, David has tied a bow on a season in such a way that it could easily serve as a series finale. And yet he keeps coming back for more, as do his co-stars. Season ten, which began airing in January 2020, brought back Susie Essman, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, J.B. Smoove, and Ted Danson, along with plenty of cameo

New report details which U.S. carrier has the best 5G network

Image
With the iPhone 12 release a few months away, the market is about to be flooded with new 5G smartphones. A new report from Opensignal lays out which U.S. carrier delivers the fastest 5G speeds. Verizon came out on top in terms of raw speed, but limited availability makes T-Mobile's 5G network a better choice. 5G smartphones have been available for a few months, but they haven't exactly flooded the market just yet. This, of course, isn't all that surprising given that the first 5G smartphones arrived when 5G coverage was still spotty. Over the past few months, however, carriers across the board have done a solid job of boosting coverage across the country. And with Apple's iPhone 12 -- which will be the first iPhone to boast support for 5G -- the number of 5G-capable devices is poised to skyrocket come October. In light of that, a new report from Opensignal finds that Verizon provides the faster 5G speeds than any other U.S. carrier. In fact, 5G speeds on Verizo

11 critical questions about the coronavirus that remain unanswered, 6 months after the first cases were reported

Image
Experts continue to study the coronavirus as the number of people it infects and kills rises each day . Scientists are increasingly certain the coronavirus came from bats but aren't sure exactly how it hopped over to humans. Researchers also don't yet know why the virus doesn't cause symptoms in most children or how long people with antibodies might be immune. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . In the realm of medicine, what you don't know can indeed kill you. Six months have passed since China reported the first coronavirus cases to the World Health Organization. But evn now, what experts are still trying to understand sometimes seems to outweigh what they can say for certain. That is little surprise to any infectious-disease researcher: Highly contagious diseases can move through communities much more quickly than the methodical pace of science can produce vital answers. What we do know is that the coronavirus seems to have emerged in
