Extortion trojan watches until crims find you doing something dodgy A newly-detected piece of malware dubbed "Delilah" has been fingered as probably the first such code created with the intention of extorting victims into stealing insider data. The "Delilah" malware was found on exclusive crime forums by Israeli intelligence outfit Diskin Advanced Technologies, who say the trojan relies on a …
I heard about this nasty vile piece of software ages ago, I even spent a short time looking at it in action.
You must have seen all the phoney over-hyped propaganda.....
You may have seen it under the pseudonym "Windows 10"
...extorting you to lift the toilet seat etc...
An application of freeze-spray shortly before she enters or dusting with various powdered peppers, careful placement of sharp objects etc soon encourage them to check for themselves rather than relying on you to do such a simple job..
That or the leave..
Either way, problem solved :)
See icon for why..
<dnrfc - El Reg, can we have a flying rolling pin or frying pan (cast iron of course) icon?>
This is actually pretty clever.. and scary!
Can't say I'm surprised though. Some poor sod who has been looking at porn will have an email send to their entire family with all the sites they visited alongside their picture because they didn't supply the data the crooks wanted. Or they get banged up for 10 years for stealing corporate/gov secrets.
Surely the Anti-Virus and Firewall should have halted this extort-bot in its tracks? Take extreme caution reading the below code as it could hack your brain, like what happened to those people in Threshold :)

No. They're saying its buggy. It hasn't yet morphed to a cross between Facebook and Pokemon go.
You need to worry when Occulus becomes untethered.
Anon, cause we all, will need to be.
Ever realize how many criminal cases, divorces, and embarrassments could be avoided if computers were sold already containing porn of all types, along with internet history reflecting such sites and emails containing porn? Then you could raise the very valid defense that all that junk already existed, unknown to you, when you purchased the device.
Come to think of it, a virus that serruptiously planted illegal porn on computers could torpedo a great many criminal cases, especially if it infected the legal system.
