Very sad story nicely written and amazing to see the tributes left at the bus stop.  All we need now is for the *******s who did to be caught.

Virustotal: Scan firmware for signs of manipulation

Google's popular online virus scanning service Virustotal received an update recently that enables users of the service to scan firmware just like other files.

The most recent addition to Virustotal is support for firmware scans which enables users of the service to upload firmware images, dumped or downloaded, to the service to find out whether they are (likely) legitimate or have been manipulated.

While most malware infects systems on the software-side of things, firmware malware is especially problematic as it is not easy to detect nor to clean.

Since firmware is stored on the device itself, formatting hard drives or even replacing them has no effect on the infected state of a computer.

Virustotal's new firmware scanning option is a welcome step in the right direction. While that is the case, it will remain a specialized service for now due to the difficulty of extracting firmware from devices and interpreting the results.

More info on the virustotal blog. Looks interesting, but complicated.

Illegal football streams are 'dangerous', study says
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35434765

Probably not a great surprise, sites where you can download illegal content tend to be 'dangerous'. Some of the comments are interesting, although mostly about the cost of watching it on Sky / overpaid footballers.

Anyone like the movie Groundhog Day? It's on tomorrow, Sky 308 @ 06:40 but don't worry if you miss it, it's on again at 08:30, but don't worry if you miss it, it's on again at 10:20, but don't worry if you miss it, it's on again at 12:10, but don't worry if you miss it, it's ...

O.K., you get the idea, it's repeated every 1:50 for 24 hours Groundhog Day: Sky is showing a 24-hour marathon of the movie to celebrate - be sure to scroll down to get the full picture
