Depending on the pirate websites you have visited, you may have noticed that some of them redirect you to ads or content related to malware. It is not usually the norm, but usually some usually open content that the antivirus identifies as dangerous and happens to block. Now, an EU study has wanted to shed light to quantify how many websites do this. The industry often uses the argument that pirated web pages are full of viruses and malware to keep users away from them. For this reason, the Intellectual Property Office of the European Union (EUIPO) has worked to select a series of po[CENSORED]r websites to download pirated content, which were easily accessible and po[CENSORED]r in the selected countries. Ten countries of the 28 members were randomly selected, since it was not possible to make a study covering the 28. Among those 10 is not Spain. They chose 20 titles, among which included five movies, series, music and games for their po[CENSORED]rity, which were searched among the most po[CENSORED]r websites to see how many malware or potentially unwanted programs jumped. In total, they analyzed 1,054 pages in a first round in the summer of 2017, and 1,057 in the second, collecting the malware automatically and manually. Ad blockers were not used, and all the links and suspicious buttons were clicked, which can greatly bias the results. Between 7 and 8% of the websites were classified as "malicious" The authors also analyzed the websites on VirusTotal to see if those websites had been related to viruses and malware in the past. The figure of results was between 7 and 8% in those cases, which is not very high. In the process they collected thousands of files, and detailed how websites used techniques to steal users' personal data, with tools that claimed to block ads, offer real programs, licenses, or provide access to illegal content. Afterwards, they proceeded to order the files in various categories. The former divided them into four: benign, potentially undesirable programs, malware, and malware / PUP. They were also divided into other categories, such as fake installers, streaming software and useful software. Finally, they divided the malware found in Trojan, adware, backdoor and agent. After analyzing all the data, the researchers did not find any particularly harmful software, such as ransomware or botnets, but most were Trojans, which included adware or backdoors. However, some did have malware that downloaded more harmful files, such as keyloggers, software for altering content on the network, or rootkits. In short, the conclusion of the study is that "currently, websites suspected of copyright infringement and illegal streaming services are not considered as sources where malware or other unwanted software predominates. However, in the future they may represent a greater risk. " To avoid the possible risks of visiting these types of websites, it is advisable to have a good antivirus that blocks the download of any of these files. In the case of Android, you should not install any APK downloaded from outside the Play Store, and if done, you must review all permissions to the millimeter.

It is not surprising that Intel is going to expand its catalog of eighth generation processors, named Coffee Lake, with new intermediate models, and this is demonstrated again with a new filtering through the online database of SiSoft Sandra , which has revealed the existence of the new Intel Core i5 8500 (without K). In fact, it was quite rare that Intel had released the Core i5 8600K, Core i7 8700 and Core i7 8700K models and the 8500 series had been left in the inkwell (especially when the Core i5 8400 is also on the street), if we stick to the releases of the previous generations of the manufacturer; but better late than never, and the company's most economical hexa-core model should already be on the verge of being launched, in line with the fact that its first benchmarks have appeared in SiSoft's online database Sandra Intel Core i5 8500, technical characteristics The new processor that will now complete the family of Intel's Coffee Lake processors comes with six physical cores and six process threads (as usual in Core i5 processors, it lacks Hyperthreading) running at a nominal speed of 3 Ghz, although it is true that in the publication in the database of Sandra does not appear what is its Turbo speed. Since the previous model, the Core i5 8400 has a turbo speed of 4 Ghz, we can expect however that this model works at 4.2 Ghz or even 4.3 Ghz, although this is a mere assumption. The processor has 9 MB of shared L3 cache and a TDP of only 65 watts, so given its power and its consumption we will be facing one of the most efficient processors of the eighth generation of Intel processors. In terms of performance, according to the results that have been published we have obtained 139.63 GOPS in the arithmetic test, with 317.88 Mpix / s in the multimedia test and 7.49 GB / s in the cryptography test, which puts it in the same category -according to performance- than the Ryzen 5 1600 of AMD. Of course, you know that this is as usual a publication in the SiSoft Sandra database, which means that there are already samples swarming around but there is still no official announcement from the company about its launch, as well as its price. Given that the previous model, the Core i5 8400, costs $ 189 and the next model, the Core i5 8600K costs $ 259, we would have to think that this new model will have a price between the two, probably located around $ 219.

The European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom blamed each other on Wednesday for blocking the negotiation of 'Brexit' on issues such as the Noirian border and the future commercial relationship, urging each other to change their positions when the discussions face their final stage. "The Brexit negotiations entered the decisive phase," said European Council President Donald Tusk, for whom London has to "rework" its plans on issues such as "the Irish question or the economic cooperation framework." Tusk made this call before a dinner of European leaders in Salzburg (Austria), where the hot potatoes of recent months - divorce negotiations and immigration policy - return to the table of leaders after the summer break. The wake-up call is not trivial. Both issues remain the main issues of discord on both sides of the English Channel, when the UK exit from the block, at the end of March, inexorably approaches. The response of the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, who plans to request flexibility from her partners in the complex question of Ireland during the dinner according to a source from her office, did not wait. For the Downing Street tenant, if you want to conclude the negotiation successfully, "just as the United Kingdom has modified its position, the EU will also have to modify its own," May told reporters upon his arrival at the dinner. Neither party thus gives its arm to twist. Both London and Brussels seek to avoid the reintroduction of a classic border between the British province of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, to safeguard in turn the peace agreement of Good Friday of 1998, but still did not find a valid solution for both. . Brussels advocates keeping Northern Ireland in the customs union and the European single market, in the absence of a better solution. This proposal known as "backstop" ("safety net") is included in the provisional agreement in December, but London now answers it. His criticism is that this would compromise the territorial integrity of his country, by creating a de facto border between the province of Noir and the rest of the country. The European negotiator for the 'Brexit', Michel Barnier, showed the favorable day to "improve" the EU proposal. Meanwhile, time runs. The leaders wanted a final agreement at the summit of October 18 in Brussels to give time for approval by the European Parliament and the British Parliament, but, faced with the pitfalls, they now propose to convene an extraordinary summit in mid-November. Undated for Gibraltar The Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, said on Wednesday that the European Commission does not have a deadline to make a decision on the in-depth investigation against the corporate tax regime of Gibraltar and has denied that the delay of the same is related with the Brexit negotiations. "I have a calendar and it is quite busy, but unfortunately one of the things that do not appear is a fixed deadline that marks when each case must be finished," the Danish Commissioner said at a press conference. Vestager explained that there have been "enough steps back and forth" for "enough information about the case". "It is progressing and is not related to any issue of Brexit", has settled. Brussels opened in October 2013 an investigation against the regime of Gibraltar Corporation Tax introduced in 2010 in the face of "serious doubts" that it could infringe the Community rules on public aid. The community executive opened this file following a complaint from Spain and found that the fiscal regime of the Rock could grant undue advantages to offshore companies that do not have a presence in Gibraltar. Almost two years later, in July 2015, Brussels extended the file to include in the investigation a practice introduced by the fiscal regime of Peñón --the anticipatory tax decisions-- that allows companies to obtain in advance the confirmation of whether certain income will be taxed or not. Meeting The birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was chosen by European leaders to try to agree on their visions on the divisive issue of common migration policy, whose meeting point at the moment is a commitment to the protection of borders, but with nuances. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said in an interview with the Standard newspaper on Wednesday that countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece are "a bit skeptical" about Brussels' proposal to deploy a common border guard on its borders, for reasons of "sovereignty" » The Austrian leader, who holds the pro tempore presidency of the EU, also understood a certain interest of these countries in the forefront of the arrival of migrants for allowing them to continue their journey to northern Europe without registering them, as European rules require. "We must convince them," Kurz said, on the proposal that seeks to control the arrival of migrants to the block in free fall - from the little more than one million in 2015 to about 90,000 since the beginning of the year - and that the leaders will have to debate on Thursday during a meeting in Salzburg. Despite the drastic reduction, the summer has been marked by a pulse between countries - with Italian Interior Minister, the far right Matteo Salvini, at the head - on the issue of the reception of migrants, which led Tusk to demand that countries stop "blaming each other". The proposals of the common position agreed after a marathon summit in Brussels in June, such as the creation of "controlled centers" in Europe to distinguish between asylum seekers and economic migrants to return to their countries, have not progressed much since then. With regard to the "disembarkation platforms" outside the EU of migrants rescued in the Mediterranean Sea, no African country has been willing to accept them for the time being. "Honestly, I do not expect much," said the Italian interior minister. For a European source, "nothing concrete is expected in Salzburg", beyond a "debate".

Barnaby Skeggs, expert of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), has explained the security problems generated by the existence of a hidden file called WaitList.dat. This file is only present in the Windows compilations installed on touch computers in which the handwriting recognition function has been activated. This changes by formatted normal text what we write with the finger or with a pointer. This functionality was introduced with Windows 8 and is still present in Windows 10. This implies that the WaitList.dat file can be in a computer for years without the user suspecting it. As we have said, this function recognizes and suggests corrections on the handwritten text. According to the security researcher, this file is created as soon as we start using the function. From there, the text of any document or email that we send is indexed in the Windows Search Indexer service stored in WaitList.dat. In addition, we not only talk about file names or metadata, but about the written text itself. Texts of documents or emails that were even deleted were found on the computer used for the tests. And not only that, Barnaby Skeggs explains that this file could be used to recover text from deleted files because they are still indexed in WaitList.dat. This already wrote in 2016 about this file, but it has been now when the issue has gone viral something else. This is due to the possibility of using this file to search passwords and other private data on the computer. In addition, an attacker would only have to steal WaitList.dat instead of scanning the entire PC located at: ? \ Users \% User% \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ InputPersonalization \ TextHarvester \ WaitList.dat At the moment, he has not contacted Microsoft because he thinks it is not a security breach. Users who do not want to be exposed should not activate this function on their touch screen computers.

Razer announced at CES 2018 its new Razer HyperFlux technology, with which it aims to revolutionize the way in which wireless peripherals are recharged. To do this, it launches its new Mamba mouse and the Firefly mouse pad that incorporate this new technology, allowing a technically infinite duration of the mouse battery without having to connect the cable. The phrase before has a trick, and is that the mouse actually has no battery, something that allows the weight of the device has been reduced considerably making the movements are more agile, especially when it has no cable. So how did Razer get the mouse to work without wires and without a battery? The Razer HyperFlux technology The secret is that the Mamba mouse works in tandem with the Firefly mousepad, which creates a magnetic field on its entire surface that allows the mouse to work to the maximum of its possibilities, as it is constantly transferring the energy it needs to function. In addition, the Mamba HyperFlux comes equipped with the technology of adaptive frequency (AFT) that we saw in the Lancehead, and that allows to be always connected with the powerful wireless signal that ensures a minimum latency with the computer. The new Razer Firefly HyperFlux mat is the next evolution of the previous Firefly, the first on the market to incorporate lighting. It now has a double-sided surface (a hard textured micro surface and a softer fabric surface) and RGB lighting, of course - and the same as the mouse - with Chroma technology configurable from the brand's Synapse software. In addition, and just now that Corsair has also launched its new Qi-loaded wireless peripherals, Razer boasts that its technology is not only a pioneer, it leaves the competition far behind. This is what Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and current CEO of the company, has said in his statements: "While other companies have tried to create a wireless recharge technology for mice today, they have not been able to develop a mouse that does not need a battery. HyperFlux technology changes the rules of the game in the field of wireless mice, since Gamers no longer need to rely on a cable and an internal battery. This is the true wireless freedom, with a wireless mouse that weighs the same or less than mice with normal cable. " Razer HyperFlux, price and availability Of course, the Mamba HyperFlux and the Firefly HyperFlux come in a pack, since they are designed to work together. They will be available through the online store of Razer and the other associated distributors from the month of March at a price of 279.99 euros. Nothing cheap, really, we'll see if it's worth it, but from now on we've confirmed that we've asked the manufacturer to send us a unit so we can tell you, as always, first-hand.

It is one of the first conclusions that are known after the summit between the Asian presidents. The leaders of the two Koreas signed a joint statement on Tuesday reflecting the results of their summit held in Pyongyang and which promises to have an important weight for the future of the denuclearization dialogue between the North Korean regime and Washington, such as the announcement of the closure of the base of the missile tests by the northern regime, as corroborated by the president of the South, Moon Jae-in. In addition, the North Korean leader announced that he would visit Seoul. His counterpart from South Korea confirmed the intention of this new meeting to take place this year. "The North agreed to permanently close the Tongchang-ri missile engine testing site and the missile launch facility in the presence of experts from the affected countries," President Moon said. The offer of the leader of North Korea also goes hand in hand if the United States takes "corresponding measures" with what was agreed by both countries recently in Singapore. In addition, Kim has already committed to completely dismantling Sohae's projectile launching base (northwest) as a new sign of his regime's commitment to dismantle its nuclear program. In addition to this document, whose content is not known in full, so far, the defense holders of the two countries, still technically at war, also signed an agreement to reduce military tension in border areas, according to a report in Seoul. spokesman for the South Korean presidential office. In turn, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, and the southern president, Moon Jae-in, will appear hours before to explain the content of these documents. These agreements come after both leaders held a second meeting on Tuesday in the North Korean capital. In this meeting, which began at the Paekhwawon residence (where the South Korean delegation is staying) only the two leaders participated, as confirmed by Moon's office. The day before they both held their first meeting of this summit, but in that case they were accompanied by their respective intelligence chiefs, in addition to the Deputy Director of Propaganda and Agitation and sister of the North Korean leader, Kim Yo-jong, and the head of the Security Office South Korean National, Chung Eui-yong. Moon's three-day trip to Pyongyang is expected to help minimize the differences between North Korea and the United States. UU after both countries signed a declaration in Singapore in June, in which they pledged to work for denuclearization in exchange for Washington guaranteeing the survival of the North Korean regime.
