Cyber Crimes and How to protect yourself from them?

                                            

With increasing cyber crimes, terrorism has moved to another level. Do they really need ammunition to terrorize the world anymore when they have computers? They are Cyber-terrorist, or simply, hackers. On Friday, 12 May 2017, the world saw one of the biggest cyber attack, popularly known as WannaCry. This cyber attack also goes by the names WannaCrypt, WCry, WNCry. It infected more than 230 thousand computers in over 150 countries. Clearly, 2017 has not been the best year as far as security is concerned. Before WannaCry a Phishing scam targeted Gmail users. This worm caused a lot of trouble for many Gmail users even though it was a simple and old phishing technique. The reason behind this was its unbelievably sophisticated construction. Another malware called Judy is terrorizing Android users. It was found in over 41 apps on the Google play store. It has infected over 36.5 million users and counting.

What is WannaCry?

It is a Ransomware which basically means if your computer gets infected by it then all your files will get be encrypted until you pay ransom for it. The ransom payment is accepted only in Bitcoins ( a digital payment system invented by some unknown programmers who go by the name  Satoshi Nakamoto). It mostly targeted Windows Operating system, mainly Windows 7. In fact, Microsoft Windows was the most affected Operating system.

Worlds First Quantum Computer

What seemed to be nearly impossible for the past few decades just came into existence on May 3, 2017, at the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Studies of University of Science and Technology, China. The world's first Quantum computer was designed by physicist Pan Jianwei and his colleagues. Quantum Computers can even beat Supercomputers in some areas of computing. This Computer is said to be 24000 times faster than its fellow (Similar type of computers) computers.  Unlike its predecessor which involved single photon, its architecture involves five photon sampling. The Quantum computer so designed is set to perform some specific tasks only, it cannot perform any task. A lot of work still needs to be done to build a Universal Quantum computer which would be able to perform any task as our classical computers, and more, only faster. For those of you who are unaware of what a Quantum computer is and how it is different from a classical computer, keep reading.

About Us

Hello everyone, I am Girish Arora, a resident of Gurugram or rather, what people like to call it, Gurgaon. I am currently pursuing Bachelors of technology in Computer Science. I just love computers and anything related to technology and inventions.

If you love Computer science, New Technologies, Inventions, Computers, Intelligent Systems or any other things related to these then this is the right place you because I am going to share with you all the upcoming trends in the field of computer science. If you read my blog regularly, one thing I can guarantee you is that you won't be missing out on all the cool things you hear your colleagues talking about in the fields of computer science. However, this blog will not be just limited to Science and technology, anything which you and I both find interesting will be open for discussion here.

My target audience will be those professionals who are too busy working for their organization that they lose touch of what is trending in computer science. But they enjoy and appreciate to know about all the mind-boggling things happening in the world of computer science and information technology.

After reading my blog, you may agree or you may disagree. Well, any kind of feedback is most appreciated. Feel free to contact me at:
