Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Good deed ransomware virus 03.06.2022

CloudSEK cybersecurity experts spoke about the GoodWill hacker group, which distributes a ransomware virus, but in order to decrypt the data, it requires the victim not to pay a ransom, but to do good deeds. For example, donate blankets to the homeless, feed starving children with fast food, or pay for treatment for the poor, capture all this on photos and videos, and then post them on social networks.

According to experts, the ransomware operators work from India - this is indicated by their emails and IP addresses assigned to Mumbai, to which the virus accesses. In addition, in one of the lines of code, an entry was found in "Hinglish" - a mixture of Hindi and English. The malware is written in the .NET framework, compressed with the UPX executable file packer, and data on infected Windows machines is encrypted using the AES algorithm.

After infecting the victim’s PC, the GoodWill virus encrypts files of various formats on it and offers to do three good deeds to decrypt them: donate clothes or blankets to the “needy on the road”, take five poor children to a fast food establishment, and also visit the nearest hospital and pay for treatment to a person who who are unable to do so on their own.

The first two actions must be documented on social networks using the photo frame offered by the hackers, and the last one should be taken with the object of help and sent along with the audio recording of the conversation with this person to the operators of the ransomware virus. After completing these three good deeds, you need to write and post on the social network an article on the topic "How you became a kind person, being a victim of the GoodWill ransomware virus." After that, the hackers allegedly send a tool to decrypt the data.

Experts have discovered a connection between GoodWill and a sample of experimental malware HiddenTear, which was developed and placed on GitHub by a certain Turkish programmer for security reasons. CloudSEK reported that 91 of GoodWill's 1246 lines of code match the HiddenTear sample.
