Thats the 'novel method' anti-virus DOES trip on crypto-mining, but if you tell the user they can be a make-money-fast crypto-bro they will turn off the AV to run the miner.

The wording in the article is VERY BAD.

It should have read....

"To evade detection, the creators behind StripedFly settled on a novel method, by playing on the user's greed and ignorance of cryptocurrency, they hid the malware's full capabilities inside a mining module, thus ensuring the user would whitelist the infected application on their antivirus systems."

I wonder if the filters will work both ways, so the user can block 'statements'...

Based on previous articles, this is frighteningly important.

That is one of the most obvious examples of the problem.. the moment you are forced to look at something.

Most of today's 3D movies, you actually forget that it is 3D until something jumps out of the screen at you and screams "HEY LOOK! I'M IN 3D!!"

Which instantly breaks any immersion..

Until they find a way to adjust with depth of field on the fly, as the viewer shifts their focus around the viewport, it will always look unreal and gimmicky.

Clearly you meant the Gews. The ones who crucified Gesus.

Darkness down that path lay... darkness and much scritchies.

... social media site found to contain subdivided groups of people with similar interests, sharing opinions within their own echo chambers.

You guys really need to work on your trolling level...

The only thing that stopped me from using WinAmp was my move to Linux. I'd still be using XMMS if I could...

So they didnt really 'decide' to tank it. It was just AOL being AOL. Pity AOL didnt buy Facebook back in the day....

No, they removed it because they didnt take the time to test its security, and blamed it on the time spent dealing with a hardware insecurity issue.

Lets blame CPU hardware bugs, which we cannot do anything about, for our inability to secure our own software.

..as long as the 'victim' gets to decide what it is.
