One thing remains constant, however – cybercriminals almost always use ransomware to extort money from their victims. It’s a big profit generating scheme, after all, and why mess with a tried and tested formula? Lock files then demand payment, rinse and repeat, it’s as simple as that. But once in a while, we encounter a rare strain of ransomware that defies all logic and common sense. In a weird twist, this newly discovered ransomware doesn’t ask for money at all....

Then, of course, there was the issue of Internet Explorer itself, which was a terrible product housing a never-ending collection of insecure code and bugs that caused countless issues. This was all exacerbated when Netscape fell off the face of the planet and was replaced by Firefox. At first, the new open-source browser looked as though it would send IE packing. It was a solid entry in the browser space and people loved it....

But like a classic B movie, Nokia is back from the dead. ll, kind of. Earlier this year Microsoft sold the Nokia bring rights to Finl-based HMD Global, the first fruits of that labor are due to appear in the first half of 2017. And like the Nokia N1—an id mini clone with hwriting-based search—they will run Android.

Motorola today dropped a 50-second teaser video where it hints at some of the new products it will be unveiling at IFA 2016. The company indicates that it plans on launching a “new chapter in tablets” to new Moto Mods at IFA later this month.
