I have read an article in Metro news paper today broadcasting a shocker about Monster energy drinks. It has been reported a death toll of 5 as a result of drinking Monster Engery drinks and leading that into disorders or heart failures. It has further reported there are similar death incidents with Red Bull energy drinks as well. Both of these companies are giants in the industry and they are so popular that these shocking news are automatically ignored by their beloved consumers.
As I read through the article which is believed to be from a nation wide trustworthy source, most of those unfortunate incidents have been occured as a result of high caffeine percentage within these drinks (said by the family and related people of who died). The recent case has arisen the need of awareness of these products and further investigations are under way.
This Prevention is better, than cure, or death..
BBC reported that SKYPE has been used by hackers to spread Windows PCs through a worm. If the user clicks on an instant message saying "lol is this your new profile pic?" this would download a trojan horse containing the worm inside it. This can result in a user logout and locked from the machine. Hacker could use this situation for demanding money from the victim to release the computer. Further more the worm will send more "lol" messages to the contact list of the user and in most cases this will probably be opened by the recipient thinking an actual message from the user. That will also result in automatic downloading of the trojan horse file.
