A Linux botnet has grown so powerful that it can generate crippling distributed denial-of-service attacks at over 150 Gbps, many times greater than a typical company's infrastructure can withstand. The malware behind the botnet is known as The credentials are used to log into the vulnerable systems and execute shell commands that download and install the malicious program.

Remember when just making a phone call from 35,000 feet was amazing? Well, as of today, you can stream Netflix in the air as well—and it's free. Virgin America became the first airline to offer Netflix via Wi-Fi, launching the service on Virgin America Flight 1 from San Francisco to Washington D.C. There's no real catch, content-wise; Virgin will allow you to stream the entire Netflix catalog to connected phones and tablets using its in-air Wi-Fi service. And that's what makes the magic happen. Earlier this month, Virgin struck a deal with ViaSat, to bring its Ka-band satellite service to its new fleet of A320 aircraft. That satellite technology boasts a whopping 140 Gbits per second per plane -- enough to stream Netflix to the aircraft and more. ViaSat promises that its new service will deliver Internet speeds that are typically 8 to 10 times faster than any other inflight WiFi system.

It was the most promising MMORPG of 2014. Then it was the most disappointing MMORPG of 2014. And now it’s (maybe) the most promising MMORPG of 2015? I’m talking about Here’s how it works: “We place no restrictions on any of the game’s content. Every zone, every dungeon, every raid, every battleground... they’re all available. All players will be able to create characters of every race, class, and path, and choose any tradeskills they like. Characters can achieve level 50 and path level 30, just as they can under the current system. There are some initial restrictions on services and social functions—which can be unlocked through the Cosmic Rewards system.”

The built-in Mail app for Windows 10 isn’t the most full-featured email client you can find, but it’s a nice, light alternative to a web client. One thing you may be wondering, however, is why you aren’t seeing pop-up Action Center notifications when you receive new emails. Easy! You have to turn them on first. But let me warn you: once you turn on notifications you’ll get notified for The Windows 10 Settings app.
Windows users who rely on TrueCrypt to encrypt their hard drives have a serious security problem: a researcher has discovered two critical flaws in the program. TrueCrypt may have been abandoned by its original developers, but it remains one of the few encryption options for Windows. That keeps researchers interested in finding holes in the program and its spin-offs. James Forshaw, a member of Google’s Project Zero team that regularly finds vulnerabilities in widely used software, has recently discovered two vulnerabilities in the driver that TrueCrypt installs on Windows systems. The flaws, which were apparently missed in an earlier independent audit of the TrueCrypt source code, could allow attackers to obtain elevated privileges on a system if they have access to a limited user account.

As his servant, it’s your job to accompany him. Haul his bags, handle the travel arrangements, fend off unwanted attention, and above all This is the wondersome world of
If you’ve been hankering for Logitech’s G910 Orion Spark keyboard but don’t want to lose two-thirds of your desk to the hulking behemoth, oh hey, there’s a new option. Next month Logitech’s releasing the new G410 Atlas Spectrum, either a tenkeyless variant of its RGB-enabled Orion Spark The Atlas Spectrum doesn’t just lop off the G910’s numpad—it also ditches the macro keys and media controls, resulting in a much smaller footprint than its predecessor. The scalloped keycaps are also gone, which is a blessing for anyone who hopes to use the keyboard for both gaming and typing.
An autonomous driving mode that will take some of the strain off of drivers during long trips should arrive in Tesla cars in the next few weeks. Earlier this year, CEO Elon Musk promised the feature as part of a "summer" update, and while Tesla will miss that deadline by a couple of weeks, it is about to roll it out. The company has been testing the software for several months on long drives, including from its Silicon Valley headquarters to Seattle. It keeps the car safely in lane and adjusts its speed to allow for other vehicles, akin to an autopilot for the car.
Amazon.com is using independent contractors for its Flex delivery program to ferry packages to customers, adopting a staffing method that has already attracted controversy and lawsuits.
