PRIVACY !! Why should I care ?

What is Privacy ?

Privacy is an individuals state of isolation, a space where he/she can limit, control and restrict, how his/her personal data is being collected, used and shared. 

Every Individual has something private,something he wants to keep secret from others and its no crime. Privacy is just another fundamental human right, just like right to speech, right to live, right to express etc. Its all about respecting individual who desires to keep something private.
"Without Privacy there's no point being an Individual"_ Jonathan Franzen. 
Imagine of a situation when we are under surveillance, we'll observe dramatic changes in our regular behavior. We will limit socializing with peoples around. In fact we will create a boundary around our self with whom we want to talk & meet. Even we will be censoring our ideas and talks. Invasion of privacy can have serious emotional and psychological consequences. Privacy is necessary to think and express ourselves freely. It's key to freedom of our thoughts.
We can't have freedom of thought's, speech and expression without privacy. Privacy lets us criticize people, corporates and governments. Privacy is the key to everything.

The more someone knows about us, concerns about our personal information. The more power and control they will have over our lives and if the data goes into some wrong hands, it can cause a great harm.
"Arguing that you don't care about right to privacy because you don't have anything to hide is no different than saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say"__Edward Snowden

SATANA RANSOMWARE

Image
SATANA Trojan encrypts files and corrupts windows Master Boot Record (MBR) thus blocking the Windows boot process. SATANA behaves quite similarly like the notorious PetyaRansomware . Image Source To encrypt PC files, PETYA relies on the help of a tagalong Trojan called Mischa, while SATANA manages tasks on its own. Once the ransomware start running it disappears, and hides under a different name in the %TEMP% folder. Then after it will always prompt the user to download a malicious file until they click yes. Once the action starts, the malicious code will be written to the beginning of disk. After it installs and runs its malicious code, SATANA then waits for the computer to reboot. But the system won’t start instead it will show a screen with the ransom note, like most ransomware.

CRYPTOVIROLOGY

Cryptovirology is a field that studies and researches about various ways by which cryptography application can be used to design malicious software's. It investigates how modern cryptographic paradigms and tools can be used to strengthen, improve and develop new malicious software's for malware attacks. Cryptovirology is a forward engineering discipline that is primarily used for attacking rather defending. This field emerged with an observation that a public-key cryptography can be used to break the symmetry between what an antivirus analyst sees regarding a malware and what attacker observes. Antivirus analyst observes a public key contained in the malware whereas an attacker sees the public key contained in the malware as well as its corresponding private key outside the malware. This public key allows the malware to perform trapdoor function on victim's computer that attacker can only undo.
