The Great Dictator 1940. ............................................................................................................................................ I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to  rule or conquer anyone.  I should like to help everyone if possible. We all want to help one another -- human beings  are like that. We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.  We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone  and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped  us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in:  machinery that...

He said they have also engaged an independent ICT forensic security expert to establish the cause of the mishap. “Their find...

  WordPress sites are being hacked to display fraudulent Cloudflare DDoS protection pages that lead to the delivery of malware such as NetSupport RAT and Raccoon Stealer. "A recent surge in JavaScript injections targeting WordPress sites has resulted in fake DDoS prevent prompts which lead victims to download remote access trojan malware," Sucuri's Ben Martin  said  in a write-up published last week. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection pages are essential browser verification checks designed to deter bot-driven unwanted and malicious traffic from eating up bandwidth and taking down websites. The new attack vector involves hijacking WordPress sites to display fake DDoS protection pop-ups that, when clicked, ultimately lead to the download of a malicious ISO file ("security_install.iso") to the victim's systems. This is achieved by injecting three lines of code into a JavaScript file ("jquery.min.js"), or alternatively into the active the...
