[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

However, cybersecurity researchers at Kaspersky said a version of the app contains malicious code that sends ads. The malware may have sent abusive ads and stolen user credentials. Kaspersky researchers said CamScanner has been a legitimate app but the malicious code belongs to a third party that offers in-app ads.

It is unknown if the version of CamScanner for iPhone has been affected. CamScanner said the new version of the app released with the malicious code was already removed. If you have automatic updates enabled, as many people have, there is a chance you will have a version of CamScanner with malware. Better for you to delete and download when the next version is launched and tested by researchers.

Users can also use an antivirus application to see if malicious applications have been downloaded and installed. There has been a significant increase recently in the detection of malware that has infected apps in the Google Play Store.

Researchers found a fundamental problem with Bluetooth security

A new Bluetooth device security warning has been issued following the discovery of a critical problem that researchers see as a serious threat to users’ security and privacy.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Through this security problem, an attacker can interfere with the process of encrypting network connections thus stealing the encryption keys and accessing traffic data between the targeted devices.

The team was surprised by finding of such a fundamental problem that has been present for 20 years.

All Bluetooth models from 1.0 to 5.1 are affected by this security problem. It was discovered by CISPA researchers and published in coordination with companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Cisco and Amazon.

All chips made by Intel, Broadcom, Apple and Qualcomm are vulnerable to KNOB attacks. Imagine beyond Bluetooth headsets and speakers, all those printers or data exchanges between devices or between your phone and your car.

Temporary internet interruptions are expected in the next 48 hours

If in the next 48 hours you begin to experience a drop in network, do not worry because it is planned.In a report by RT (via NDTV), the Corporate Name and Specific Numbers Corporation (ICANN) has announced that they will perform maintenance work and change the cryptographic key that helps protect the Internet’s DNS.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

According to ICANN, this maintenance work is needed especially at this time, where we are seeing an increase in cyber attacks. In a statement made by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), it seems that not everyone will be necessarily affected by this issue and will depend on your ISP.

The CRA says, “To further clarify, some Internet users may be affected if network operators or Internet service providers (ISPs) are not prepared for this change. However, this impact can be avoided by enabling proper system security enhancements. ”

“We can assume that most ISPs have already been prepared for this, but if you experience network disruption for certain internet sites or when you make online transactions, do not worry because everything will end in 48 the next few hours. “
