What is a Ransomware Attack?

ransomware

Ransomware has been around for almost as long as consumer use of the Internet. This type of malicious software can be deployed to attack businesses as well as individuals. In some cases, there is more than one reason behind the attack. In order to properly prepare yourself for a potential ransomware attack, it pays to understand a bit about the nature of this type of malware, what it can do, and how you can protect yourself from becoming a victim. Understanding the Nature of Ransomware Ransomware is an infection that either limits or completely blocks access to your operating system or the programs running on that system. The malware is designed to circumvent the protections that you have on the drive and essentially take over the system. It’s only after you comply with any demands issued by the originator that you are able to regain control of the system. What’s the Purpose of a Ransomware Attack? The most common purpose of any ransomware attack is to extort money from the victim. In exchange for remitting whatever sum the originator demands, you are supplied with a code or other resource supposed to remove the block and restore full access to your system…

Powerful open source SQLite manager for Raspberry Pi

SQLite is a lightweight but powerful database management tool. It occupies a little space on the device – a bit more than 500KB, but offers most of the features implemented on other SQL database tools. SQLite is a serverless engine, meaning that the whole database is stored in a single file, and all transactions are reads and write from the file. There are no initial server configurations required – all you need is to create a .db file and start writing queries. This is why SQLite is preferred on small devices like mobile phones, embedded devices, and Raspberry Pi. Previously, we have installed an SQLite into Raspberry Pi, created a database and table with only a few lines of script. We performed all the tasks from the command-line tool. Eventually, you will want to have full control of the database and see the whole picture. Therefore, you should also consider installing SQLite manager, which brings a graphical user interface to work with SQL databases. To run the SQLite manager, you will need to work from the Raspberry Pi desktop. You may want to connect a monitor or use a VNC client to access the Raspberry Pi desktop like me. VNC…

Not to mention, it allows you to have a presence on the world wide web, improving your credibility as a company. So, you decided to set up a computer network, but have you thought about what you need to do to protect it? To safeguard yourself against cybersecurity attacks and to keep your connection secure, you must adhere to the following steps. Monitor by installing a firewall A firewall is a software that people use to protect their private network security. It is precisely for this reason that it should be one of the first steps people take to safeguard their networks, which they must have turned private, to begin with. You don’t want unauthorized users to access your internet, right? That is why a firewall can act as a defense against this, as it can monitor and prevent security breaches at the same time.

What exactly is a Laboratory Information Management System?

Simply put, a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is software that allows the effective management of test results, and samples (and their associated data) to improve lab productivity. By adopting the use of a LIMS, your lab can integrate instruments, automate workflows, and manage samples and associated information. Plus, as well as producing reliable results more quickly, you can also track data from sequencing runs over time (and across experiments) to improve efficiency. This kind of software helps standardize tests, workflows, and procedures. At the same time, it allows the provision of accurate controls (such as test limits) of the process itself. You can also integrate instruments into the LIMS to automate the collection of test data. This eliminates the need to manually transfer results between the instrument and the LIMS solution, eliminating typographical errors. Entering numbers by hand typically results in a 1-3% error rate, and forces all results to be manually validated and approved, taking additional time and resources. The LIMS can be set up to ensure that only results from calibrated instruments may be recorded in the system and, via unique login, to check that the person, entering the results, is adequately trained in the operating procedures to…

How The Blockchain Will Impact UX and UI Design

Over time, the blockchain has become an integral part of the new and upcoming technologies. Every kind of industry is now looking at ways in which it can adopt blockchain as part of its future growth. The benefits that come with the infrastructure include speed, data transparency, increased functionality, and many others. Despite these advantages, the design of the infrastructure is still basic. The near future will thus see a lot of improvements in the infrastructure, particularly in the design realm. The blockchain will definitely have a huge impact on the platform that depends on it as it grows. Stakeholders in the industry who want to create their products with the blockchain in mind must think of ways in which they can change their designs in order to find consonance with the blockchain. Among the issues that designers will have to consider in terms of UI/UX design, the following are the most critical:
