| Posted: 07 Jul 2012 12:26 AM PDT Has entered the five years since the DNSChanger virus infecting computers all over the world. This virus attacks the DNS server that connects you when browsing the Internet. This long-term attacks will restore the world in the era of darkness with no internet connection. So far, efforts to protect your computer in order to connect has been done. However, this effort will end on July 9, 2012. As a result, the world will face "doomsday" cyberspace. Your computer can not connect to the internet. Imagine life back into the past. Can not find the answers in the Google search engine. A world without Facebook and Twitter connectivity. You also will not be able to chat or exchange text messages. Back again sent a letter, not e-mail. All returned to the state of the world without an Internet connection. Office work will pile up. Many are wont to do online communications abruptly stopped. Your computer is only able to type only. That is a "doomsday" cyberspace. Is this a virus attack to kill the internet? DNSChanger virus attacks the DNS server. Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet service that can do the conversion from numerical to the Internet domain name that is easy to remember. Numerical domain address will be converted into text by a server-based DNS. For example, when you type http://www.viva.co.id, address domain DNS server 123 456 789 will be transferred into a regular VIVAnews page you open. You will see the domain address in text form (viva.co.id) that you typed earlier. Without DNS, and DNS server operated by internet service provider, your computer will not be able to open the site to send e-mail. More precisely, can not connect to the Internet. DNSChanger virus is a type of Trojan horse malware with different variants. The virus was developed into a variant known as TDSS, Alureon, TidServ, and TDL4. This malware also has another name RSPlug, Puper, and Jahlav. Computers that are infected will experience a change in the DNS settings. When surfing the internet, you will be directed through a server that aims to evil. This transfer process will show you false advertising. You will be redirected from the official site that you want to go to malicious sites created by criminals DNSChanger virus. DNSChanger virus change the Domain Name System without your permission. DNS is the internet is like a phone book that has a navigation map. DNS as our URL linking to an Internet Protocol (IP). DNSChanger divert search results and URLs that you type. You are invited to the site that is designed to display ads that invite you into a dangerous site. The site is intended to take the shadow of your login information. For example, when the infected user looking for Apple iTunes, even bringing them into the browser-store www.idownload-music.com. This site pretends to sell Apple software. In addition to redirect the browser to a fake address, it also prevents malware infected computers to download security updates and antivirus systems. This prevents the antivirus program to detect malware and stop it. When the user tries to access the software updates, a message pop up that says the site is currently unavailable. Illustration Computer Virus Criminals Online Ads Criminals designed malicious websites DNSChanger virus is going to steal your personal information. They also take advantage of your visit to a fake site to reap the benefits of advertising. Since the discovery in 2007, this online fraudsters have raked in profits of up to U.S. $ 14 million. U.S. law enforcement, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been investigated by Operation Ghost Click. The criminals behind this virus, six hackers (hackers) Estonia and one from Russia, Eastern Europe successfully arrested on 8 November 2011. They operate under the auspices of Rove Digital fictional company. This fraud scheme began in 2007. Vladimir Tsastsin, Gerassimenko East, Dmitri Jegorow, Valeri Aleksejev, Anton Ivanov and Konstantin Poltev of Estonia and Russia's Andrey Taame accused of using some of the company's name to commit fraud. Based on court documents quoted by Wired, they make false advertising agency in the conduct of his crimes. This false advertising agency contacted online advertisers are willing to pay a commission for the suspect. Each user is pressing the company's advertising will be redirected to the site of the criminals. To optimize profits, defendant infect computers with malware DNSChanger order to ensure a user visits their online advertising partner sites. Malware is diverting DNS server settings on the victim's computer to a site that gives a commission to the defendant. Seven of these criminals be punished with 27 chapters online fraud and computer-related crime. Rescue Efforts In addition to catching criminals "brain" DNSChanger virus, the FBI also seized 100 servers used for operations "command and control" in carrying out the activity of a virus attack. But, do not put an end to terror arrest criminals in cyberspace. This malware has already spread widely infecting hundreds of thousands of computers. FBI along with the German Federal Office for Information Security aware of an infected computer can not use the browser to surf the internet. Address of the site who want to target users will not be able to display the site. Servers on duty shift was seized as evidence of a crime. They will not be able to surf in cyberspace. FBI must find a solution. FBI to get a court order to contract the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC). This private company will operate two servers to take care of internet surfing of infected computers. Both countries have set up a new server to redirect the infected computer to the correct address. The transfer is so you can still access the sites you really want to visit. ISC is also allowed to collect the IP addresses that use the server substitutes the FBI. This is so that the authorities could notify the owner of a computer or internet service providers that their machine is infected with viruses. DNS Changer FBI also established a Working Group (DCWG). This service is tasked to create a site that can guide you to detect, treat, and protect your PC from virus infection. Various antivirus program has also been prepared to address the virus was "bad" is. Hitman Pro, Kaspersky Labs, McAfee Stinger, Microsoft Windows Defender Offline, Microsoft Safety Scanner, Norton Power Eraser, Trend Micro Housecall, MacScan, and Avira have been deployed to cope with the proven infected computer. After the criminals are caught, the two governments agreed to continue operating the DNS server to March. When they find out there are about 450,000 active computers are infected by DNSChanger, both do a contract extension. Server protection you will remain in operation until Monday, July 9, 2012. Illustration of the server room Infection Continues Facebook and Google has delivered a warning about this DNSChanger case. Approximately 330,000 people still have the DNSChanger infected computer until the end of May 2012. According to Wired, there are 200,000 infected computers outside the U.S.. In fact, these infections continue to occur despite warnings are disseminated. From the data collected DCWG until June 11, 2012, most computers in the U.S. suffer from infection with the IP number as many as 69 517. From this list, Indonesia is not on the list of countries that suffered the greatest infection. Data is based on the name of the country code (ID) is not guarantee for sure your computer is safe. Map data showed Indonesia Shadowserver infection in the list of countries infected with the device. But, there are not too large. Exact figures are not explained in detail on pages DCWG. Video monitoring Shadowserver.org collected in January 2012 to March 2012, showed the greatest infection in Java. A small part of Sumatra also has points of infection. Google tried to suppress the number of victims infected with a special warning. "This warning is at the top of search results pages for a regular search, image search, news, and search," says Google security engineer, Damian Menscher to CNET. Approximately 58 of the large companies listed in Fortune magazine's Fortune 500 suffered virus infections. According to Internet Identity, two government agencies have at least one computer or router is still infected with DNSChanger. This virus attacks the most dominant operating system used computers, Windows. These systems are vulnerable to virus attacks. But, since the Mac has received a virus attack, no more to be safe at this time. Struggle Ended Temporarily disable the DNS server to be the last step Ghost Operation Click. Contractual protection for server computers infected with this virus ended on July 9, 2012. When the deadline arrives, your computer may not be able to establish a connection to the Internet. "The contract extension has not been requested," said FBI spokeswoman, Jenny Shearer as reported by the Huffington Post. When the FBI revoked a server connection, then it's over your internet connection. But, this only happens when your computer is still experiencing an infection. For that, before the internet suddenly you die, your computer first detection of DNSChanger infection. If you want to make sure your PC free from malware DNSChanger, you need to manually check the IP address of the DNS server contacted your PC when exploring the virtual world. Moreover, Indonesia does not have a specific site to check for infection control. Way of checking the computer in Indonesia will be more complicated than just opening the site as it can be done in the U.S. computer users. Follow these steps to set up PCWorld if you are using Windows 7: A. Open the Start menu button on the bottom left corner. 2. Go to the menu to launch applications Command Prompt or type cmd in the search field. After finding the Command field, press Enter. 3. Large text box will appear. Browse down until you find the line that reads "DNS Servers". 4. Copy a number that indicates the identity of your computer's DNS server access. If there is more than one row of numbers, it means your PC to access more than one DNS server. Follow these steps for Mac users: A. Open the Apple menu is usually located on the left corner of the screen. 2. Select System Preferences. 3. Tap the Network icon to open the Network Settings menu. 4. Go to the Advanced Settings. Copy a set of numbers listed on the DNS Server box. Once you get the IP address of the DNS server your computer is using, immediately headed to the site control checks of the FBI. You can write IP address in the column DNSChanger checks that the FBI made it. FBI software will tell if your computer uses DNS servers to access the internet is evil. If your computer is infected with DNSChanger, anti-rootkit you need to treat the infection. Step is difficult because the necessary healing process longer. Do not forget to back up important data first computer to avoid losing them. Format your hard drive and reinstall the computer's operating system. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 If you do not want to reformat the PC, simply use the supplied anti-rootkit free. You can choose to offer DCWG software, such as anti-rootkit from Kaspersky Labs. TDSSKiller of malware Kaspersky aims to destroy it. You also can detect and prevent DNSChanger infection. If the PC is infected with a computer connected to the network, you should check any other connected PC. Also check the router settings to ensure the network is not infected. DNSChanger is programmed to change the router's DNS settings automatically with your account name and password are commonly used by most modern routers. Copy the router's DNS server IP address of your computer network. Detection of infection through FBI sites such as the above steps. If the infected router, reset the router back to back like the original settings from the factory. This is to make sure all the network settings are safe from attack. After cleaning, you have to set up preventive measures. Similar threats can come back. Stay protected computer and your device from the dangers of the virus to counteract the upcoming attack. Make sure you install antivirus and security programs for the Windows, Mac, Android, IOS, and others. Always double-check the URL before entering data in the form of personal information online. Make sure you are in a secure Internet network from data theft. Once the malware can be overcome, you can calmly deal with the July 9, 2012. Your computer will escape from the threat of "doomsday" cyberspace.  |
| Posted: 07 Jul 2012 12:23 AM PDT After about 48 years is considered as a hypothesis, a group of scientists joined the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) managed to find a particle that is considered consistent with the Higgs boson particle. The new particles are found to ATLAS and CMS teams that have a mass of about 125-126 GeV (Gigaelectronic Volts, or unit of energy equivalent of billions of electron volts). Although these are preliminary findings acknowledge, but a spokesman for CMS, Joe Incandela, said the finding could have significant results. "This is definitely a new particle. We know this is probably the bosons, and this is the boson toughest ever encountered," said Incandela. But what exactly is the Higgs boson? Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle that fills the mass to matter. These particles are considered very important, because it is considered to complement and even enhance the big bang theory (big bang) in the process of formation of the universe. Based on the theory that, after the big bang, the universe is filled by a stretch of hot particles. Higgs boson is called a role to fill in or provide the mass for a number of elementary particles, and to form into matter. Based on the theory that triggered the British scientist Peter Higgs, there is a field (then called the Higgs field) that interacts with small particles, and continued to move up to form the atom or the smallest part of matter. Atom itself is made up of subatomic particles protons, electrons, and neutrons. Since the discovery of quarks particles which are subatomic particles forming in the 1960s, the presence of a particle that gives mass to elementary particles are increasingly feeling needed 'presence'. Fermilab laboratory in the United States for years to find the Higgs boson explains, without the Higgs boson, then the quarks will not be combined to form protons or neutrons. Then, the protons and neutrons would not be combined with electrons to form atoms. No atoms, then molecules and materials would not be formed. Analogy celebrities The discovery of the Higgs boson will be complete in the standard model of particle physics. In the standard model that describes the particles that make up the material, it is known there are two classes of elementary particles, namely fermions and bosons. Fermions consist of quarks and leptons. While bosons composed of elementary particles that have a number of styles, such as the electromagnetic force (photon), the core force strong (gluon), and a weak core forces (bosons W and Z). But what a way to fill the Higgs boson mass and the Higgs field interacts? Professor David Miller of University College London give a simple analogy. In a room there is a collection of crowd that is cool to talk. In this analogy, the room is the Higgs field that contains a set of particles. Then came a famous celebrity. Her presence instantly have an influence in the interaction in the room. Celebrities are then further packed crowd. In this analogy, each individual in the crowd act like Higgs boson, which gives the mass of a particle / celebrity. Analogy to explain the Higgs boson The stronger the interaction is performed, the huddled masses will be heavier celebrity. This means stronger interaction bosons, and these are later encouraged the establishment of a material. "God Particle"? Higgs boson is regarded as the missing puzzle pieces to explain the formation of matter. For his part, the Higgs boson was later dubbed the "God Particle". But the term itself originated from a book written by Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Leon M. Lederman, entitled The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question? In a book published in 1993, Fermilab researchers that purport to give the title "God particle" because it is the primary particle in the current understanding of physics. "It is crucial to understand the structure of matter, but so hard to find," said Lederman. "Besides," Lederman continued, "the publisher is not possible to give the title of this book 'Goddamn Particle,'" said the scientist who is known for this humorous. Even so, many scientists who do not like the term "God Particle". Therefore, the term is considered to downplay the role of the Higgs boson in the formation of matter. Peter Higgs who claims an atheist is even claimed to not like the term "God Particle". "Because of this term could be offensive to religious people," said Higgs. The results of the CERN research is still preliminary findings. The applicative and practical, it is not finding the Higgs boson can be applied, even up to several years. "Our next step (CERN) is to understand the natural particles and its importance in understanding the universe," said CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci. Some scientists think these findings are important, even comparable to the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. However, the findings are consistent with particle Higgs boson is expected to not only cease to do to complete the standard model in particle physics. Because a lot of unanswered questions in particle physics, including particle dark matter hypothesis or cause of gravity called gravitons. (Telegraph | Reuters | BBC | MSNBC | various sources)  |
