Soccer World Cup related Websites Hacked
Anonymous promised cyber-attack on World Cup Sponsors. They kicked offline earlier this week include World Cup sponsor Hyundai and government state Mato Grosso.
"We had a busy last few days and there is more still to come," a hacker who calls himself Che Commodore and who claims to be a member of the Anonymous hacker collective told Reuters on Wednesday.
"Companies and institutions that work with a government that denies the basic rights of its people in order to promote a private, exclusive and corrupt sports event will be targeted"
"Cyberattacks have become a popular way of gaining notoriety and publicity, though it’s not clear what motivations were behind this attack but could well be the issues that have seen Brazilians protesting almost daily," Edward Parsons, senior manager in the cyber security at KPMG, said in an emailed statement to Mashable.
They are using DDos ( Distributed Denial of Service ) to destroy websites.
Hackers broke into the foreign ministry's email service, accessing dozens of classified documents including a list of foreign dignitaries planning to attend World Cup matches.

Be Careful from new Facebook virus you get from friends as a new video post
Today in 28 of May group of hackers uploaded a new virus in Facebook. You can get a new notification from your friends. Where your friend posted about a new video which he/she make for his/her friends, and tagged all his/her friends on that status. And given a link which shortened. After victim open a link he/she redirected to famous hidemyass proxy website and after that notified for download a file.

ProtonMail: New encrypted email service, which keep our information privately
As you know all famous internet organizations, i mean social networks, email services they are not secure for users. Because all your information is not private. They sell your information to spying organisations. Nowadays stay privately using social networks is not possible thing. But of course people don't want that their messages, emails have an access other people.
In response, a group of young developers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has launched a new email service which offers end-to-end encryption and securing communications that could put an end to government snooping and will keep away our personal data from prying eyes.
This is a encrypted service, called ProtonMail. It encrypts the data on the browser before it communicates with the server, therefore only encrypted data is stored in the email service servers. So, even if someone gains complete access to the server, it will find only the encrypted data.
The company is based in Switzerland, so it won't have to comply with American courts’ demands to provide users data. In worst case, if a Swiss court ordered to provide data, they can get only the heaps of encrypted data as ProtonMail doesn’t store the encryption keys.
The Team is working in Android and iOS apps, to make it able on your phone and tablets.
ProtonMail is currently free service.
