I've been getting a lot of junk phone calls lately and on October 1st, was
pushed past my limit. I went out to register my phone numbers with the "DO NOT
CALL" registry and received the message posted above. I laughed. I can't decide
if the message above is more funny or more sad. See, the Do Not Call Registry is
just a database. Once it is programmed it should pretty much run itself. It will
need someone to maintain the server occasionally, but I don't understand how
they think they will save more than a few dollars a day by shutting down this
database. So anyway… funny? Or sad? You decide.
On
to things that are definitely not funny: I'm a fan of Cyberheist
News and they have shared the latest computer malware. It is called FBI:
"Beta Bot". This particular malware can turn off your antivirus and steal your
user name and password when you log into your banking institutions, e-commerce
sites, online payment platforms and social networks.
Beta Bot is a commercial malware, which means it was made by cyber criminals to
sell to cyber criminals with the specific purpose of stealing your personal
information. It is of high quality and difficult to get rid of. So consider
yourself warned.
