Risk of ransomware attacks on major hospitals around the world facing corona


Ahmedabad. 13 April 2020 Monday

According to a news report, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has now been informed by its 194 member countries, including India, that cybercriminals are trying to launch ransomware attacks on major hospitals around the world fighting Covid-19.

You may remember that all three years ago, on May 12th, 2017, an outbreak of storms spread across the world - a 'ransomware' was being hit on computers all over Europe and Asia. The program, known as "WannaCry", has racked up more than two million computers in nearly 100 countries, and has named Wonacrya in the most comprehensive and dangerous cyberattack in history. Ransomware is a type of program that enters a computer and encrypts all of its data, meaning that the original owner of the data can no longer use it. Ransom is demanded to keep the data unchanged. England's National Health Service (NHS) hospitals, along with other computers around the world, were targeted by Wonnacray Ransomware.

According to the latest news, hackers have tried cyberattack at a UK research institute developing a vaccine for the World Health Organization (WHO) network and treating Covid-19. Last month, on March 1st, a hacking group activated a site with a fake system like WHO's email system. The purpose was to steal WHO employees' credentials - the username. The attack came to the attention of Cyber ​​Experts, so the attack failed.

The good news is that with the corona virus, medical institutions around the world have been under tremendous pressure and cybersecurity professionals have become active in protecting them when their cyberattacks have increased.

An Expert from an intelligence startup named ClearSky Cybersecurity Limited, operating in Tel Aviv, Israel, has created a team called 'CTI League'. CTI means Countering Threat Intelligence.

Big breakthrough for scientists: AI will recreate dreams and put them on paper

Image
Tokyo, dt. 11 March 2023 Saturday Scientists have achieved great success in scanning the brain with the help of AI. Now what our brain will see even in dreams, AI will recreate it and put it on paper. Researchers Shinji Nishimoto and Yu Takagi from Japan's Osaka University have converted brain activity into high-resolution images using AI. Previously, AI was used to create facial images. For the first time text to image generation stable diffusion AI algorithm has been used. Previously, AI algorithms used to decode brain scans depended only on data sets. What are the benefits? This allows people's dreams to be recorded. Learning about people with paralysis can help. This can provide insights into how animals and birds see and understand the world. Why is scanning done? When our brain sees an image, the temporal lobe records the information and the occipital lobe records the way of thinking. This information is recorded through a functional magnetic resonance imaging sca...

The possibility of life on a meteorite older than the solar system, an important element found

Image
New delhi date. 02 March 2023 Thursday A life-enhancing element has been found on Ryugu, a meteorite orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars. This meteorite is older than the solar system, meaning it has been around since before the solar system was formed. Japan's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft took a 5 gram soil sample from this asteroid in 2020. Then he returned to earth. When this soil was examined, life-enhancing elements were found within it. Apart from carbon, 15 different types of amino acids have been found in its soil. which is important for the origin of life. This element is not currently alive but it can give rise to life. So scientists are calling this amino acid prebiotic. Whether these life-giving elements have the ability to survive on meteorites has not been confirmed, but the presence of prebiotic elements has already determined that life can be managed even in a harsh environment. A bad environment means more solar waves, heat, ultraviolet irradiation along with inte...
