DNSChanger: Google fight against the malware

Google is taking steps to inform users of the presence of DNSChanger on their machine.

Mid-February, we inform you of available group Lexsi of a test to verify if the machine is not infected with DNSChanger, malware that threatens to deprive hundreds of thousands of Internet users Web. A threat that many organizations take very seriously, as the FBI.

Today, it is the turn of Google to engage against DNSChanger. Indeed, the online search giant will integrate into its site a device for identifying infected machines, and display a warning message for positive test to DNSChanger above search results. The idea being of course to inform users that they take the necessary steps before the closing of the FBI DNSChanger servers. That the approach to remove DNSChanger on his computer is very simple.

As a reminder, after the inquiry of the DNSChanger virus makers which, by changing the DNS of users, oriented them towards advertising sites, the FBI has set up its own healthy servers to preserve access to Internet of infected persons. But the FBI will cut these servers on July 9, and even infected Internet users may find themselves without access to the Web. Late April, 350 000 computers were still infected by the FBI.

Pot of Earth against iron ROUND 2 Pot

Bethesda Softworks, Publisher of role-playing PC, threat of prosecution the Swedish creator of MINECRAFT, Notch.

Notch, now responsible of a true development studio (Mojang), must confront the threats of the American publisher Bethesda Softworks (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion but Fallout 3 and New Vegas) concerning the name of the new project of Mojang, Scrolls, which, according to the American giant, is an improper use of a name. The Swedish studio argue in his defence, that no set specifically named Scrolls exists to this day and has proposed to add a subtitle to avoid confusion between the two series to counsel for the Publisher, proposal remaining letter-dead to date. End of ROUND 1.

Start of ROUND 2. Notch, visibly irritated by the attitude of Bethesda, has recently tried to find a new friendly solution; It has indeed proposed to settle the conflict through a competition team-deathmatch in Quake III Arena (SPF next to which it is unthinkable to be passed if you like the kind in 1999 and which is also, incidentally property of ID Software, Bethesda property, himself property of ZeniMax Media Inc. etc etc...). Whereas the previous reactions of the American camp, there is very little likely that he received a reply positive, or even that counsel for the American giant taste to joke. However, ridiculous claims of Bethesda (and attitude "Taunt Inside" of Notch) never fail to address the heart of the players on the other hand than his own, on the eve of the imminent Rage and Skyrim. Bethesda has still not updated officially expressed on the subject.

26,000 South Koreans complain against Apple

26 691 South Koreans, all holders of an iPhone, have filed a complaint in partnership this week against Apple for infringement of privacy. The complaint comes from the possibility, for the iPhone, to record the movements of the user via the GPS chip that is integrated.

"We filed a complaint in partnership claiming compensation to Apple and its South Korean subsidiary because of the emotional damage caused by the illegal positioning of Apple iPhone," explained the firm who is charge of the case. Each of the complainants claimed 1 million won (about 648 euros) in compensation.

It may be surprising to see this matter just now in Korea South, the homeland of the manufacturer (and competitor Apple) Samsung, while the two marks are in legal battle in Europe.This is explained mainly by the fact thata lawyer, Kim Hyung-suk, already engaged in a case of this type against Apple, comes just to win his trial against the American giant and won compensation of one million won.The rest, the South Korean telecommunications regulator had already indicated a few weeks ago that he would seek a fine of three million won (about 1950 euros) on the same case.
