  • Security experts have urged Android users to delete five apps from their phones immediately over fears they are infected with malware.

    Samsung Galaxy phones are particularly at risk from the nasty bug called Anatsa, which is a banking trojan.

    It is capable of performing actions on a victim’s phone without them knowing, including taking money from their bank account.

    The apps, which had been available on the Google Play Store, are:

    • Phone Cleaner – File Explorer
    • PDF Viewer – File Explorer
    • PDF Reader – Viewer & Editor
    • Phone Cleaner: File Explorer
    • PDF Reader: File Manager

    @Muhammad-Abdan-Farooqui Welcome! i’m currently using (and recommend) Bitdefender. For my sins, I’m using Windows, but need this for teams and Office365 integration (otherwise I’d always choose Linux). Have you looked at the Bitdefender product for MAC? https://www.bitdefender.com/en-gb/consumer/antivirus-for-mac

    @phenomlab said in Ex GCHQ employee risk to national security: I can’t believe also that security is so lax that someone without adequate clearance can waltz into a restricted area and take what they want. Yeah I can’t believe that either. It is crazy

    @DownPW yeah, I seem to spend a large amount of my time trying to educate people that there’s no silver bullet when it comes to security.

    @phenomlab yep but I use it since several month and I haven’t see any bugs or crash In any case, I only use him anymore Tabby offers tabs and a panel system, but also themes, plugins and color palettes to allow you to push the experience to the limit. It can support different shells in the same window, offers completion, has an encrypted container for your passwords, SSH keys and other secrets, and can handle different connection profiles. Each tab is persistent (you can restore them if you close one by mistake) and has a notification system, which will let you know if, for example, a process is finished while you are tapping in another tab. It’s really a great terminal that will easily replace cmd.exe for Windowsians or your usual terminal. And it can even work in a portable version for those who like to carry their tools on a USB key. –> To test it, you can download it, but there is also a web version. Handy for getting an idea. https://app.tabby.sh
