Texas is a state that suffers many ransomware attacks. The Texas Military Department suffered last year. Another attack in Texas, this time, the hackers got into the state Department of Transportation’s network.
The British low-cost airline has suffered as it turns out in one of the biggest hacker attacks on airlines in Europe. As a result of the attack, email addresses, personal data for more than 9 million passengers, and credit card data were stolen.

The researchers confirm that the recently discovered ‘Ramsay’ cyber-espionage campaign can infect computers to steal confidential documents such as Word, PDF, and ZIP from networks with air gaps. Through a hidden folder, they can easily filter them out.
Hackers from the “PentaGuard” group have built malware like the remote access Trojan, ransomware. Fortunately, their wicked desires were quickly thwarted. Romanian law enforcement arrested cyber criminals who planned ransomware attacks.

In today’s era, cybersecurity is essential to us. However, half a century ago, Internet 3security was not in the range. The most important thing was for the new package-based scheme to work. Protection in a harmonious team was not needed; at that time, no one had access to the network. Currently, the ubiquitous access to the Internet has caused a massive increase in the number of cyberattacks. In retrospect, it can be seen that ignoring security was a huge drawback.
The machine for solving systems of linear algebraic equations was recognized as the first working prototype of a specialized computer created by John Atanasoff. Inventive and unique solutions have been developed in the device. Storing numbers for use in machine calculations was a massive problem at the time. Atanasoff used capacitors to store the electric charge for his project, which was able to represent numbers in the form of logical zeros and ones. The capacitors were mounted on rotary bakelite cylinders with metal strips on the outer surface. Each cylinder could store thirty binary numbers that were read from metal belts at cylinder rotation.
In the world of computers, some terms are sometimes used in a surprising way, such as the expression “Personal Computer”. For example, the IBM 610 Auto-Point computer (from 1957) was described as “the first IBM personal computer” because it was designed to be operated by only one operator, but this machine was not based on the concept of program memory and it cost $ 55,000! Other candidates are LINC computers from MIT (1963), Datapoint 2200 from CTC (1971), Kenbak-1 (1971) and Xerox Alto (1973), but all of these machines were either incredibly expensive, relatively useless, or were only experimental designs .
