These days, the most popular name in the camera industry is of Cannon along with Nikon. These two famous camera manufacturers are leading the market of professional photography by providing the best DSLR Cameras to professional photographers. A part from Nikon and Cannon, the other companies that are striving to compete the low-end market is Sony, Olympus, Samsung, and few other companies are competing with each other to live in the market.

    These days, the necessity to have a good camera has increased, if we compare to the past trend of having a camera.

This is the first time ever in the history of camera industry that got a cellular 3G/4G network to share images with others, as well as Android Jelly Bean Software that usually works on Phones.

     However, when it comes to OS, whether it is iOS or Android, the first question that roams in a persons mind before purchasing the product is, “Can it be Jailbreaked/Rooted?”

    The users of iOS are sure than Android users that their iDevice would be Jailbroken in certain time of span and they are heavily reluctant on the Jailbreak Dev Team for the Jailbreak. On the other side, the Android users are not sure about the Rooting to be arrived or not for any OS that comes in future. However, in this era of advance moving technology, they now don’t need to worry because folks over XDA Developers have taken care of all the Rooting stuff when it comes to Android.

  • Fake iTunes Invoices and IRS Warnings are Leading Windows Malware

    Fake iTunes Invoices and IRS Warnings are Leading Windows Malware

    As the Black Friday is passing by and people are buying items in bulk, on the same hand, Cyber Criminals are faking the iTunes invoice with the help of IRS to inject Malware into a Windows PC. The main aim of the Cyber Criminals is to steal a healthy amount of money from the person who is infected with the malware that they are trying to inject in the Windows PC. This Malware injection trick is said to be the oldest trick with amazing flaws and drawbacks from the Cyber Criminal’s side.

    The main aim of this malware injection is to inject a Trojan on a PC running Windows by sending the user a fake iTunes invoice with the amount of $699.99. The amount which might not be way too surprising today because the Cyber Weekend is in full swing and you may think that you have spent on iTunes this much amount. The fact is that it is a Malware instead of the real iTunes invoice.

    fake_itunes_invoice_black_hole_apple

    How Does the Malware is Injected in Windows?

    The story of this fake iTunes invoice starts from an E-Mail that might be waiting your glance in your inbox with the name of iTunes invoice for a $699.99 Post Card that you bought today or sometime back in preceding months. After seeing the heavy amount of $699.99, first you will say WTF and then you will open the mail for sure to see about the fake iTunes invoice that you got from the Cyber Criminal. After you have opened the E-Mail, you will click on the links provided to you by that Cyber Criminal in the so-called iTunes invoice of $699.99 post card invoice. You can see the fake iTunes invoice pictured above by sophos.

    As you can see the invoice looks similar to an Apple’s iTunes Invoice of a product purchase, but this iTunes Invoice is very different from the original one.

    How to Identify Fake iTunes Invoice?

    To identify this sort of fake iTunes invoice is not a hard task. As you can see the Billed to part of the invoice, it is not properly coded. It states (%Email%) that Means the E-Mail isn’t inserted in the invoice to whom the invoice has been mailed.

    Then the view/download links in the invoice ends in download.jpg.exe that is an executable file and most probably the main file that is filled with Malware.

    The two other options of “Cancel” and “Not Your Order” ends up in Check.php that seems to be affiliated with this .exe file to see if the Malware is infected or not in the PC by Cyber Criminal.

    The story doesn’t ends here. When you click on other links, you will be redirected to a custom made page on which you will get an IRS warning that you are using a supported browser, even if you are using an updated version of the browser.

    fake_itunes_invoice_apple_trojan

    Once this page is displayed, it will download the exploit with the name of update.exe on your PC and it will execute the file to infect your computer with Zeus/ZBot Trojan.

    How to Stay Safe from This Malware Attack?

    To stay safe from this Malware is way easy than opening the Malware file and getting shocked to see the bill of $699.99 that was never spent by you.

    All you need to do is just see for the sender of the E-Mail, install latest updates of your Anti-Virus, and don’t open E-Mails from the sender that you don’t know. Most of the time, E-Mails we get are infected in many different ways and we are not aware of the infection that is included in those E-Mails.

    In order to stay safe from those E-Mails, all you need to do is see for the “TO” area of the E-Mail in which the recipient E-Mail is inserted “that is you.”

    A quick heads up on this “TO” thing is as follows:

    itunes_fake_invoice_black_hole

    As you can see in the above image that the sender of the E-Mail is legit and the “TO” section is empty. The E-Mail was sent from Gmail to an unknown person, “that was me.” Therefore, this E-Mail was junk and might be full of Spam. However, the main point is that you must see the “TO” section always to distinguish between the Spam E-Mail and the real E-Mail. Even if the “TO” section points towards your E-Mail and you are not aware of the sender, then don’t open the E-Mail or download anything from the E-Mail. This will risk all your personal data.

  • iTunes 11 Releasing in Few Days, Apple Says Artists to Get Ready

    iTunes 11 Releasing in Few Days, Apple Says Artists to Get Ready

    Previously delayed iTunes 11 by Apple will be releasing in few days. Apple has asked the Artists to get ready with their picture and arts work for iTunes 11 because the tech giant will be releasing the revamped version of iTunes 11 in few days. This revamped version of iTunes 11 has topped the story line in past beating the record of the iPhone 5 leaks. Before the iPhone 5 could make a public appearance, it was highly expected that Apple is planning to release this revamped version of iTunes 11 along side the iPhone 5 on September 12. Few minutes before the release of the iPhone 5, the name and version of the iTunes 11 was leaked by Apple’s own website.

    Even after being leaked on its own official website, we didn’t saw any iTunes 11 version with the iPhone 5 on its launch day. Instead of iTunes 11, Apple released iTunes 10.7 version ahead of the iTunes 11 launch. However, after having the iTunes 10.7 release, Apple announced in October 2012 that it has held back the iTunes 11 for late November release because they wanted to get it right.

    As we have landed in the last week of November 2012, the reports have started to emerge that Apple has planned to released the iTunes 11 version in few days and have asked the Artists to submit pictures and galleries for the upcoming iTunes 11 version.

    itunes11_releasing_date_apple

    The above E-Mail was sent to a German Music Distribution Service, Feiyr stating to submit pictures and galleries directly with Feiyr, so a user can directly view the images in the upcoming iTunes 11.

    As for now, we know that iTunes 11 is around the corner and this new version of iTunes 11 will bring tons of new features with completely redesigned UI and much more. However, we don’t know about the exact date of the iTunes 11 releases. We expect the release to be made somewhere on Friday or Monday. Stay tuned with us to know about the iTunes 11 Release. We will notify you about the release of iTunes 11, as soon as it arrives for Download.
