Malware Embedded in CCleaner Tool Puts Millions at Risk

News
Malicious code has been discovered in two versions of Piniform's CCleaner housekeeping utility, the company disclosed on Monday. Piniform is owned by Avast, whose security products are used by more than 400 million people. The malware infecting CCleaner could give hackers control over the devices of more than 2 million users. CCleaner is designed to rid computers and mobile phones of junk, such as unwanted applications and advertising cookies. Two versions of the program were modified illegally before they were released to the public, Piniform said. However, the threat has been neutralized, according to Piniform Vice President Paul Yung, who explained that the rogue server the hackers used to control the code is down, and other servers no longer are in the attackers' control. All users who downloaded the infected version…

This coming Saturday, developers from all over London will come together to participate in “Can you hack it?” – a hackathon hosted by Avanade and sponsored by Xamarin, a company involved in mobile cross-platform technology (iOS, Windows 8 and Android). Supported by tech firms, this collaborative challenge will provide London’s technology talent with an opportunity to work together on mobile application development projects.

About one month ago on April 1 it was about 9 p.m. on a Friday night, and I was already fast asleep. I have a perfectly reasonable explanation for why sleeping so early. I participated in my first hackathon! So let's rewind to about 30 hours ago and look at all the ups and downs of this 26 hour event. 1. Must be something in the atmosphere March 31 - 3:00pm. Click here to see a quick walk-around of Lehigh's first Hackathon.

RESEARCH HACKATHON

RESEARCH HACKATHON

X-Culture is collecting huge amounts of data. We are tracking over 2,000 variables: longitudinal, multi-level, multi-source, multi-method. Just about anything related to international teams and virtual collaboration – we measure it. We have dozens of papers in development based on the data, but there are definitely many more good publications hidden in our database. Additionally, I have been collecting datasets as part of the “mega-analysis” study and have now amassed over 100 original datasets related to measurement of culture and cross-cultural team dynamics. This project is now morphing into the WikiDemix.org data sharing platform. It is expected that this crowdsourcing approach will allow us to create a huge depository of data related to various International Business topics and beyond. The problem is that even though over 480 IB professors have participated in…
