The earliest computer viruses were pretty tame for example very earliest virus "Creeper" which just displayed the message " I'M A CREEPER : CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" were innocuous experiments in computing. Before starting with 7 Most destructive viruses in all time History . I would like to talk about very first Computer Viruses of Mac and Pc's


I think if you are a computer geek you might have some idea about Elk Cloner and Brain. When we talk about 90's, mostly viral viruses are floppy disk based and were carried from computer to computer by human hands.

Do you know how exactly did the first virus spread around the globe? And who invented it ? Well it depends on for which platform we are talking about, it can be Mac or PC . The first Apple virus was a teenager's prank.

Elk cloner : He took two weeks to write this "residue", in assembly language. The program is called as Elk Cloner. It was a boot sector virus, when an uninfected disk was inserted into an infected computer. The computer creates a clone of Elk cloner into Floppy disk which makes. The virus caused subtle errors until 50th time you inserted the disk into a computer. In this virus instead of game starting following poem came on the screen.



" Elk Cloner : The program with a personality
It will get on all your chips Yes, it's Cloner! It will stick to you like glue It will modify RAM too Send in the Cloner!"'

Brain : The first widespread virus for an IBM PC operating system was called as Brain. Like Elk Cloner, it was also boot sector virus. Pakistani brothers Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi develop Brain in 1986. At that time both brothers have not heard about Elk Cloner. Alvi brothers said they developed the Brain virus to punish and track piracy of their medical software for the IBM PC. Like Elk Cloner, it was harmless annoying, and it didn’t destroy any data, moreover the infected boot sector displays following message:


“Welcome to the Dungeon (c) 1986 Basit & Amjad (pvt) Ltd. BRAIN COMPUTER SERVICES 730 NIZAB BLOCK ALLAMA IQBAL TOWN LAHORE-PAKISTAN PHONE :430791,443248,280530. Beware of this VIRUS.... Contact us for vaccination............ $#@%$@!!”

This is all about the very first viruses developed for Mac and PC. Today spreading virus around the globe has become a very easy task. Today getting a computer virus in your PC can be very harmful, it can lead to a complete disaster. Today in this article we have listed 7 most famous and malicious computer viruses that had caused severe damage to real life structure and were very harmful, It accounted billions of dollars to world's economy sector.

1. ILOVEYOU

Image Source : Supinfo


Don't go on the name because ILOVEYOU is considered one of the most virulent computer virus ever created and after reading this paragraph even you will accept this fact with no doubt. Reonel Ramones and Onel de Guzman were two Filipino programmers who created this virus.

The virus managed to wreck havoc on computer systems all over entire globe. It has caused damages totaling estimate of $10 billion. ILOVEYOU infected over 10% of the world's internet connected computers. The impact of this virus forced government to to shutdown mailing system to prevent them from getting infected.

Working :

It used social engineering to get people to click on the attachment in this case, a love confession.
The attachment was actually a script that poses as a TXT file, due to Windows at the time hiding the actual extension of the file.
On clicking it will send itself to everyone in the user’s mailing list and proceed to overwrite files with itself, making the computer unbootable.


Fact : The two were never charged, as there were no laws about malware. This led to the enactment of the E-Commerce Law to address the problem.

2. Melissa :

image4903490x


It was named after an exotic dancer from florida, David L. Smith, He created this virus in 1999. It was posted up on alt.sex Usenet group as an infected Word document. This document claimed to be a list of password for pornographic sites. Many people become so curious in knowing password and they clicked on it and downloaded it on their hard disk. On opening it does following things :

Virus will mail itself to the top 50 people in the user’s email address book
This has caused an increase of email traffic.
It led to Disrupting the email services of governments and corporations.
Sometimes It also corrupts documents by inserting a Simpsons reference into them.


Smith was caught when they traced the Word document. The file was uploaded from stolen AOL account, this resulted in arrest of David. The virus reportedly caused $80 million in damages.

Fact : He helped FBI in capturing other virus creators, famous among them the creator of the Anna Kournikova virus. His cooperation saved him and he served only 20 months and paid a fine of $5000 of his 10 year sentence.


3. Code Red

It was discovered in 2001 by two eEye Digital Security employees.
It is interesting to know this virus was name Code red because at the time of discovery the pair were drinking Code Red Mountain Dew.
Working :

The worm targeted computers with Microsoft IIS web server installed, exploiting a buffer overflow problem in the system.
It leaves very little trace on the hard disk as it is able to run entirely on memory, with a size of 3,569 bytes.
Once infected, it will proceed to make a hundred copies of itself.
Due to a bug in the programming, it will duplicate even more and ends up eating a lot of the systems resources.

It leaves a message behind on affected web pages, “Hacked By Chinese!”, which has become a meme itself. A patch was later released and it was estimate that it caused $2 billion in lost productivity.


Fact : Total of 1-2 million servers were affected, which is amazing when you consider there were 6 million IIS servers at the time.



4. Sasser
98_20_the-netsky-and-sasser-worms-25-years-of-viruses

In year 2004 Windows has got its first worm. It was created by a computer Science student Sven Jaschan, who is also known for creating Netsky worm. It was an annoying worm as it slows down and crashes the computer, while making it hard to reset without cutting the power. The effect of this virus were incredibly disruptive, It has affected million of computers.



Working :

The worm took advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS),
which controls the security policy of local accounts causing crashes to the computer.
It will also use the system resources to propagate itself to other machines through the Internet and infect others automatically.



Fact : The damage was estimated to have cost $18 billion. Jaschen was tried as a minor and received a 21 month suspended sentence.



5. Zeus

In this article, I will be explain most of the things you'll need to know to be a hacker and what's it really all

about. But before I proceed, this article is for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY, whatever you do with it after this, you are

on your own.

A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations

automatically. The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of other computers and here is where we come.



Hacking is identifying weakness or finding vulnerables in computer/smart systems networks and exploiting this found

weakness to gain access to the system. The name of the people who do this is called Hackers.

Types of hackers
A hacker is any skilled computer expert that is capable of breaking into any computer systems and networks using bugs

and exploits.
Hackers are classified based on their intent.
1) White hat Hackers (Ethical Hacker)
2) Black hat Hackers (Crakers)
3) Grey hat Hackers (Ethical/Crackers)
4) Hacktivist
5) Phreakers

WHEN HACKING BECOMES A CRIME:- CYBER CRIME
Cybercrime is a Offence that is committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to

intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or

indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as Internet (Chat rooms, emails, notice boards and groups)

and mobile phones (SMS/MMS)" cc: wikipedia

Common types of Cyber crimes
Computer Fraud:
1)Altering in an unauthorized way
2)Altering, destroying and stealing of datas
examples includes including bank fraud, carding, identity theft, extortion, and theft of classified information.

Cyber terrorism:
Cyberterrorism in general is an act of terrorism committed through the use of cyberspace or computer resources
examples are hacking of information servers during a political election

Cyberextortion:
Cyberextortion occurs when a website, e-mail server, or computer system is subjected to or threatened with repeated

denial of service or other attacks by malicious hackers. These hackers demand money in return for promising to stop

the attacks and to offer "protection".

And here is where the reliever comes in; Ethical Hacking

What is ethical hacking?

Ethical hacking is identifying weakness in computer systems and/or computer networks and coming with counter measures

that protect the weaknesses. Ethical hackers must abide by the following rules.

Get written permission from the owner of the computer system and/or computer network before hacking.
Protect the privacy of the organization been hacked.
Transparently report all the identified weaknesses in the computer system to the organization.
Inform hardware and software vendors of the identified weaknesses.

Legality of ethical hacking

Ethical hacking is legal if the hacker abides by the rules stipulated in the above section on the definition of

ethical hacking. The International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) provides a certification program

that tests individual’s skills. Those who pass the examination are awarded with certificates. The certificates are

supposed to be renewed after some time.
Summary

Hacking is identifying and exploiting weaknesses in computer systems and/or computer networks.
Cybercrime is committing crime with the aid of computers and information technology infrastructure.
Ethical hacking is about improving the security of computer systems and/or computer networks.
Ethical hacking is legal.


Terminologies and Meaning
Bug: A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an

incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made in

either a program's source code or its design, or in components and operating systems used by such programs.

Exploit: is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or a sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug or

vulnerability in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior to occur on computer software, hardware, or

something electronic (usually computerized).

Human can now figure what is likely to happen next based on a image; with little or no effort.

A team of researchers are working on an artificial intelligence that can predict what will happen in the immediate future based on an image. An Al that animate a still image to what is likely to happen in the Future. The algorithm can also produce video on what is likely to happen in next scene.


HOW IT WORKS

Previous systems developed to create predictive videos have worked on a frame-by-frame basis, while MIT's system generates all 32 frames simultaneously.

The frame-by-frame method creates a larger margin of error, say the researchers.

Once the algorithm was able to generate videos, the researchers refined it using a deep-learning method called called 'adversarial learning'.

This involves using two neural networks compete against each other.

In this case, one generating videos, and one determining the difference between the real and the generated videos.

The idea was for the video-generating network to eventually be able to fool the other network into thinking that new videos are real. read more @ teazhacks..com

but it seeks we would be starting this year with a tremendous news of a Controversial Lagos miracle pastor Pastor Ofuche Ukoha, popularly known as Dr. Sign Fireman, has been arrested by Lagos police over alleged ritual murder of a 12 year old girl.

"Sign Fireman has been implicated in a ritual murder scandal involving a boy in his church who strangled a 12 year old girl while trying to obtain feces from her for ritual purposes.

The disclosure of Pastor Fireman's involvement in the scandal was made by an eighteen year old boy paraded by the police in Lagos. The teenage suspect stated during the parade that he was sent on the ritual mission by Pastor Fireman.

He said he had always dreamt of becoming rich and had approached the pastor personally, after years of attending the church without his own financial miracle happening, Mr. Fireman reportedly told him the way to get his Sign for finance was to get the feces of a virgin girl. The suspect said Pastor Fireman promised him a reward of N100,000 for the assignment.

The suspect narrated how he sought and killed the 12 year old girl simply named "Bose", the daughter of poor lady on his street.

Apart from the 120 different nationals of Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid descent, who live and work at The Synagogue Church of all Nations, thousands also throng this wonder on earth every week to behold the man in The Synagogue, Prophet T.B Joshua.
It is from these nationals that the four “wise men”, namely, Wiseman Harry from Greece, Wiseman Racine Bousso from Senegal, Wiseman Christopher Orji from Nigeria and Wiseman Daniel Emelandu, also from Nigeria, emerged as subordinates, but equally anointed men of God to Prophet Joshua.

prophet-tb-joshua

This move is seen worldwide as one of the biggest achievements of the church apart from the miracles which even the Wisemen perform. And till date, the church remains a spectacle in Nigeria.
In one of its releases, under the gangling former DG, Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, Otunba Segun Runsewe, stated that over 60,000 people from all over the world come to The Synagogue every year on scheduled visits. Every week, guests from all over the world come in groups and batches for some sort of pilgrimage at The Synagogue. Sandra Du Plissés, from South Africa, told our correspondent that whenever she wants to feel heaven, she comes to Synagogue in Nigeria. Her opinion, you may say, but there are several others like her who we encountered at The Synagogue. Visiting The Synagogue is not a bed of roses; it starts by the intending “pilgrim” sending an e-mail to the church for approval. Some get approved while others don’t. On approval, the visitor pays up front for his food, accommodation. At the supermarket and the bookstore at The Synagogue, the Dollar is a legal tender. Airport bus shuttle, intra city transportation, visits to the Prayer Mountain and the church, seminars and workshops are part of the excursion. Talking about the Prayer Mountain, it is a resort completely tucked away from the church at Agodo Egbe. It is a swampy area which has now been dredged and is navigable. While clearing the place, the animals in the bush and the fish in the water were left to live normally in their natural habitat. So, the tourists who come to this place feed the monkeys in the forest, roll on the white sand at the waterfront and generally feel the touch of nature while seeking spiritual answers to their numerous questions. At any point in time, it is not uncommon to see a squatting Thai, an American, South Africans, Koreans and some other Europeans and South Americans strolling up and down the superlative edifice known as The Synagogue Church of All Nations.

The Federal Government has released the 2012 National HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey-Plus which indicates that Nigeria now has HIV prevalence rate of 3.4 per cent.

The annual survey, which was conducted to monitor the HIV/AIDS epidemic among the country’s population, also monitors other sexual and reproductive health indicators.

Rivers State is leading other states of the country with a prevalence rate of 15.2 per cent.

The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. Sani Bala, at the national dissemination of the findings of the survey in Abuja on Thursday, said the results from the survey was a reflection of the efforts by the Federal Government in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the country.


The survey indicated that, “Compared with the 3.6 per cent in 2007, about 3.4 per cent of Nigerians are currently living with HIV/AIDS, with 3.2 per cent in urban and 3.6 per cent in the rural areas; 2.9 per cent among young people aged 15-19 years.”

Taraba State ranked second with a prevalence rate of 10.5 per cent, followed by Kaduna State with 9.2 per cent; Nasarawa state, 8.1 per cent and the Federal Capital Territory with 7.5 per cent.

Ekiti State, however, has the lowest prevalence rate of 0.2 per cent; Zamfara State, 0.4 per cent; Bauchi State, 0.6 per cent; and Ogun State, 0.6 per cent.

The Rivers State government however expressed doubts over the statistics

Speaking to journalists, the Technical Assistant to the Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nyemenim Michael said, “Rivers state has had a prevalence rate of 3.1per cent but today, we are seeing a prevalence rate of 15.2 per cent. We are terribly worried and alarmed by these figures. This is because, to the best of our knowledge, these figures do not reflect the true health position. Not from our hospital services, not from activities we have in our outreach programmes.”

Meanwhile, the Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance Survey has said the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate among the rank and file of the Nigeria Police is now below the national average.

The IBBS showed that the rate dropped to 2.6 per cent in 2010, compared to 3.5 per cent in 2007.

The National Coordinator, Police Action Committee on AIDS, Dr. Grace Okudo, a Commissioner of Police, disclosed this in interview with journalists on Friday in Abuja.

She said, “We are proud to tell you that the efforts by the Nigeria Police Force to keep its rank and file free from HIV/AIDS are yielding fruits. The HIV prevalence in the Nigeria Police was 3.5 per cent in 2007. But because of our consistent efforts, it reduced to 2.6 per cent in the 2010, which is far below the national average.”

PUNCH

In a recent interview with Nonye Ben-Nwankwo of the Punch, Kora award winner and Ex Project Fame winner, Chidinma Ekile, sheds more light on the sex tape controversy and how it actually made her more popular;
You eventually came into the spotlight and it opened doors to controversies and scandals…


I have been in the news lately. My manager told me that I am a balloon on top of lots of needles. People want me to drop on those needles and get deflated. He told me to be careful. The first time was when my nude picture went viral. I actually went for a photo shoot for my friend. I wore a tube dress. Some mischief makers actually cropped off the lower part of the picture and posted it on the Internet. It was as if I was nude. I wasn’t happy at all. I had that picture. I had to post the real picture on the net and people now got convinced the nude picture wasn’t original. I thought that was the end, I didn’t know a bigger scandal was coming…
You mean the sex video?
Oh yes. I woke up one morning and I was greeted on the internet with ‘Chidinma and sex tape’. I was worried primarily because of my mother. I didn’t let her see the video but I had to show her the photos. I didn’t want to go out that day. I couldn’t go out. But my mum felt otherwise. She told me to ignore the mischief makers. I almost took some actions but I thought against it. I met Sound Sultan on a set. He told me, ‘Babe, you are now a star. I welcome you officially into the industry.’ I trended for three days. Even people who didn’t know me got to know me. My fan base grew. And then, I was happy because more than 90 per cent of the public didn’t believe I was the one in that video. There were people who didn’t need to see the video to believe I couldn’t have done such thing. I am just grateful to everyone who didn’t believe the story. My twitter account was hacked and the people created another account. They kept releasing nasty pictures and they were even responding to the tweets as if I was the one doing it. I was just watching and laughing. It put me in the spotlight. I used it for good.
But such scandal shouldn’t be good for your career…
Ever since I started, I have been scared of scandals. I didn’t want to have any. But I realised that I cannot run away from it. It is just normal. It is not everybody who is happy seeing me rise. Some people are trying to do something to stop me. But sex tape is not enough to stop me. They should bring up something else. The sex tape just took me to another level in my career. It moved me up. This is no more ‘little’ Chidinma. It didn’t bring me down in any way. I am still doing a lot of things

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja has been temporarily closed by officials of the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority, NAMA, following the breakdown of a Saudi Arabian Boeing 747 cargo plane on the runway of the airport last night. The airport authorities say the plane, which veered after landing at the airport, has to be fixed before it can be evacuated from the runway.

This closure has adversely affected all flights that are Abuja bound as well as those that were billed to travel to other parts of the country. Many Abuja bound passengers are now stranded. Pic above shows passengers stranded at the airport in Abuja this morning.

The Police Command again has uncovered another baby-making factory in Egbu, near Owerri the State capital, arresting the proprietor, one Dr. James Ezuma who runs a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), and a clinic. 16 girls were rescued in the process. The girls were kept in two rooms in the building that houses his NGO, with no windows while repulsive odour oozed out from their rooms
The girls, aged 14-19 were encouraged to get pregnant and take home the sum of N100,000 at delivery, on the condition that they would abandon their babies who would be eventually used for purposes ranging from child trafficking to rituals.

The commissioner of Police has warned the general public to endeavour to keep an eye on their girls so that they would not fall prey to such miscreants like Dr. Ezuma, who does not mean well for the society.

One of the girls who spoke amidst tears said, her boyfriend rejected the pregnancy and was directed here by her aunt. She said though she was given N100,000 after delivery, on the promise that they would train her baby, but she never knew her baby would be sold to unknown persons even without her consent.

Also speaking, another victim, 18 year old Blessing A. who came from Lagos, told journalists that she became stranded when she got pregnant, but was directed to the place with the promise that her child would be taken care of.

The suspect while speaking to journalists insisted that he was not into child trafficking, and that the child was given out for adoption on the consent of the mother.

Other items recovered from the suspect include, a gun and 10 exotic cars of different models.

The Government of Switzerland has disclosed that it had returned to the Nigerian government about $700m looted by late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha.


Switzerland Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Hodel, made this known in Abuja recently at a press briefing ahead of a two-day seminar on Anti Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism.



The envoy asserted that the Swiss government was ready to reopen the case if Nigerian government presents concrete evidence of any other money still being held in any Swiss bank, noting that Switzerland had no interest in withholding illicit funds. He said his country had returned about $1.7bn to their countries of origin in the last 15 years.

“Switzerland and Nigeria agreed to request the World Bank to participate in the review of the use of funds, in the framework of a budget control process of various welfare projects,” he said.

He disclosed that his country was yet to receive any request for information on the November 4 Berne Declaration report: Swiss Traders Opaque Deals in Nigeria, which allegedly accused the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation of conniving with some Swiss-based oil firms of fraudulent deals, worth $6.8bn.

“I have no knowledge that we have been contacted by the authorities. In case they will start proceedings and they will need our help; of course, with international legal cooperation, we will help them if they approach us. But until now, they have not approached us,” he said.

She is adored by her millions of fans and has even earned the nickname Queen B.

But Beyonce failed to impress the man known as Egypt's Indiana Jones when she visited the country in 2009.

Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former head of antiquities, claims he banned the singer from visiting the Pyramids after her ‘stupid and rude’ behaviour.

The star visited Egypt back in 2009 as part of her I Am... Tour, where she toured the pyramids with Hawass.

But according to the Huffington Post, the controversial archaeologist bad-mouthed the star to local reporters back then, allegedly calling her a 'stupid person' who 'doesn't understand a thing'.

Now, in a new interview, Hawass, 66, claims the Love On Top singer arrived late for her tour of the ancient site.

'Most people I take on tours are very nice and we become friends. But this lady...,' the former minister of state antiquities told The Independent.

'She said she would come at 3pm but she came late. I said "You have to say I'm sorry I'm late". But she didn't open her mouth,' said Hawass, who is described as the 'gatekeeper' of the pyramids.

The last straw came when Beyonce's photographer allegedly almost hit Hawass.

'I brought a photographer and she also had a photographer and a guard. When my photographer started to shoot, he said "No, Stop! I am the one who says yes or no, not you!"
'I said: "In that case since you almost hit my photographer and you are not polite - out! I am not giving you the privilege of having you on my tour!" I said Beyoncé was stupid and I left.'

'This never happened,' said the rep. 'The last time she was in Egypt was on tour in 2009. Nothing like this happened. Lies and more lies.'
Hawass is a controversial figure who has been criticised for his love of the spotlight.

During the interview, he boasted about his fame.

'People attack me because I am famous. When I took President Obama to Giza, the camel driver recognised me and he asked "But who is the friend of Hawass?" When I gave a lecture at your Dome of the Millennium 1,700 came to hear me. Bill Clinton got 700.'


Hawass is currently under investigation from the US Justice Department for allegedly accepting a $200,000-a-year pay packet from National Geographic to allow the magazine access to the Pyramids and other sites.

He is also branching out into fashion.

According to Vanity Fair, he has launched a clothing line that focuses on khakis, leather jackets and denim shirts, with profits said to be going to the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Cairo.
