New ‘Electronic lace’ pretends Google Chrome – ANSA.it

There is a new type of “Lace electronic” , in slang ‘ransomware’ , which is targeting the Italian internet pretending to be Chrome, the popular Google program for surfing the Internet. The malicious code that takes in “hostage” files on users’ computers, has been identified by the company Ese t.

According to the researchers of Eset in the first week of January Italian internet were the most affected in the world by the various types of ransomware Filecoder, with 6.35% of infections. The software, of course, pretends to be the files necessary to run the Chrome browser from Google.

Meanwhile, Google Chrome is the real in the last hours in the middle of a problem : because a sort of “bug” (contained in the Nvidia graphics cards and OS X operating system from Apple) online browsing incognito does not work as it should and reopens the last page you visited, a porn site in the case of Canadian student who brought to the fore the issue. To this has been renamed ‘porn-bug’ .

Over the weekend Evan Andersen, a student at the University of Toronto, visited a porn site with Chrome in private mode. Hours after he started playing with the game Diablo III, and when it reopened the browser we have seen before the last page you visited, the porn site, that it should have been canceled. The problem, as discovered by the student, but Chrome is not about video cards Nvidia: when you close Chrome these do not erase all the video memory.

Nvidia, however, the site writes Motherboard, he has laid the blame on Apple: the bug, says a spokesman, about the memory management in the OS X operating system, the Mac computers.
