Interesting notes about randsomwere , infects document files but its an actual exe , thus still with win10 you should not be allowed to exe run doc files
Also it sounds like all document files should not have admin access at all
Also it sounds like windows needs to patch to disable killing task manager and by user choice DISABLE AES-256 functionally on the PC and WARN users when taskman is killed/closed OR and make it extra layer of entering a password to STOP TASKMAN
Anyone else feel that more and more users are going to migrate to Linux because of Windows 10 and sick of windows and migrate to elementary os from macosx this year
I'd think that if a large enough group of people migrate to Linux then douchecanoe hackers will follow suit.
I know Linux typically gets its programs and whatnot from repositories rather than just off the internet, but what stops the aforementioned people from messing with repositories? It's open source so it will get caught eventually, but what about the people that download it before it's caught? Something like that just happened to Mint less than a year ago, and Mint is the most popular Linux distro right now.
Having macros enabled in documents should be prohibited by law, it's still prolly the most likely vector to access your machine Fun story tho, macro malware was kinda fixed over a decade a go by microsoft 'disabling macros by default'... ikr. Just today people get the popup to 'enable content' , click it and boom macros on and system compromised.
