]]> Although hacking began as simple entertainment for a group of enthusiastic young people, much has changed since then. Today, all countries have, to a greater or lesser extent, a response or attack group of this type. The clearest examples would be the NSA and the CERT / CC (in which I had the luck to be able to work temporarily) of the United States. We are living what will be remembered as the beginning of digital wars, where soldiers use keyboards instead of automatic rifles.

]]> It is possible to access any content through a different network than the one we initially encountered. With a simple example, if we were initially in Spain, we could access a certain web page as if we were really in the USA. All this thanks to the VPNs (virtual private networks in the language of Shakespeare).

]]> There is a new trend in the world of malware, called cryptojacking. In many wars they used enemy prisoners to mine minerals, this would be similar to this case but transferred to the 21st century. It consists in using the equipment of the victims of the malware for mining  cryptocurrencies. In recent times, the ransomware has become one of the most common types of malware, but it seems that the cryptojacking is removing the post by leaps and bounds.

Many times, these are kept in the shadow and are triggered only when a certain situation occurs (something like an intelligent wick). This type of malware is called “logic bomb”.

]]> When someone finds out that your computer is infected, a question automatically pops up in your mind, how has this happened? First you think about the recent files downloaded / installed, then in the visited pages, and if no answer appears in the preceding cases, you end up desisting and cursing the situation. Although I would not dare to say that the third possible option that I will explain is the most common, it is certainly one.
