The government has issued an advisory regarding a virus and asked to be cautious. The name of this dangerous ransomware is Akira. This can prove to be very dangerous for users. They can also steal users' personal details and demand money from users. Users can be blackmailed in different ways if money is not given. Hackers can sell this data on the dark web.

CERT issued an advisory

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, a government agency, has recently issued an advisory asking people to be cautious of new viruses on the Internet. This virus first targets systems running on Windows and Linux systems.

These special tools are used for hacking

The advisory states that the ransomware group accesses the victim's computer data through a VPN service. Provides fast access to data especially where multilayer authentication is not enabled. Hackers can also use some special tools like Anydesk, WinRAR and PCHunter for hacking. With the help of these tools, complete access to the device is obtained, with the help of which hackers can access the device remotely.

How does this virus work?

First the virus deletes the Windows shadow volume from the infected device. This then encrypts some files with some extensions, including the Akira extension.

This way you can stay safe

To protect against the Akira virus, it is essential that users take care of basic hygiene. Also follow the protection protocol. Users also need to pay attention to offline backup. Users should update the operating system regularly.

These countries are now farming in space, watch the video

Image
Image Source: NASA New delhi date. 2 June 2023, Friday As the population increases in the country, the land for agriculture is getting less and less on earth. Recently, a report from the University of Colorado Boulder has come out, in which it has been said, how farms are rapidly being depleted around the world. Perhaps this is the reason why scientists from some of the world's major countries are turning to farming in space. There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of space and the atmosphere of Earth, but still there is cultivation. In fact, seeds sent into space remain in microgravity and are exposed to large amounts of cosmic rays, a process that greatly accelerates plant growth and transformation. This process is called space mutagenesis. Due to which the plant is ready to face any kind of situation. China is growing many crops China is growing a variety of crops in space.

Why is it necessary for a baby to cry at birth... This is the reason

Image
New delhi date. 26 March 2023, Sunday Do such a question also come in your mind that why a newborn baby cries as soon as it is born, why the baby does not smile. No one knows the true answer to this matter. To get the correct answer to this question, here we will tell you the reason by studying both science and scriptures. Reasons for crying after birth according to medical science According to medical science, when the baby is in the womb of the mother, it is enclosed in a packet and inside that packet there is a special liquid. The baby's lungs are formed but they are not functioning because at that time the baby does not need to breathe through the mouth or nose to survive, so this fluid fills the baby's lungs. When the baby is born, this fluid that keeps it alive in the womb can cause the baby to die. As soon as the baby is born, it is hung upside down by its legs, this causes the fluid in its lungs to come out and the baby starts to breathe. As the fluid comes out of ...

Fear of a terrible solar storm could damage the Internet on Earth

Image
Half the country was in darkness for nine hours when a grid failed during Canada's 1989 hurricane. New York: A solar storm is a coronal mass emanating from the sun. It is quite dangerous and harmful. Scientists have recently warned that such a terrible storm will come in the future. This can have a profound effect on the Internet. This means that the entire world's Internet may be shut down or blocked for several days. The study was conducted on the Internet by Sangeeta Abdu Jyoti, a researcher at the University of California. He presented his study to scientists at the Sigcom 2021 Data Communication Congress last week. According to the study of music, there will be less impact on the internet system at the local level. The reason is that it runs primarily on fiber optics. Fiber optics are not directly affected by geomagnetic currents. But it could also have an impact on Internet cable spread around the world.

Like Telegram, Instagram also added a broadcast channel

Image
If you've been active on Instagram for a long time and follow a lot of people, you'll have experienced that a lot of content posted by those people is out of your sight - even if you want to see it. Like Facebook, what we see on Instagram is largely determined by algorithms. Those social sites themselves decide what we like to see. As a result, what we really want to see remains out of our sight. On the other hand, no algorithm works in services like WhatsApp or Telegram. For example, if we join a group in WhatsApp, whatever is posted in it will reach us. Telegram has channel facility. In that too whatever the creator of that channel posts will reach us. It's a different matter that we ourselves don't see everything posted in a WhatsApp group or a particular Telegram channel, but it does reach us. It often happens in Facebook and Instagram that not all the things we are interested in seeing reach us. This is just as bad for us as it is for content creators. Even if th...
