@dev_lak Welcome Bro

The world’s first trillion dollar company and one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world are gearing up to roll out a new credit card: Apple and Goldman Sachs are reportedly getting ready to launch their joint credit card as early as the spring.

Apple and Goldman’s branded credit card is expected to come with a rewards program and some iPhone financial tracking features enabled through Apple Pay, according to the Wall Street Journal which reported the news. Both companies are relatively new to consumer fintech — Goldman launched a consumer lending business called Marcus in late 2016, the same year Apple’s began quietly building up Apple Pay. Neither is a huge player yet.
Apple’s main source of income, iPhone sales have also begun to stagnate, and Goldman — whose banking clients have traditionally been governments and corporations — has long been trying to diversify its lending services to a wider consumer base. It’s a match made in heaven: Tech-savvy iPhone owners are ideal lending candidates for Marcus’s consumer loans, and Goldman Sachs is reportedly spending some $200 million to set up the payments infrastructure.

"This is a mainstream play for prime consumers or about half or more of the American adult population,” Brian Karimzad, a founder of the personal finance site MagnifyMoney tells Inverse. “Goldman has been trying to get more mainstream folks on to a yet-to-be-created investment management platform and the rewards here are a way to start building a relationship."

It’s also in line with Apple’s new subscription service strategy. A large portion of the company’s hardware isn’t pulling in the same money it used to, so it’s turning to subscription services to make up for it. The company is expected to launch an entertainment-streaming service, a premium news service, and potentially a gaming platform. An Apple-branded credit card could be another step in the plan, plus it’s offered similar products and services before.

Apple Pay takes a 0.15 percent transaction cut from the bank every time someone decides to pay with their iPhone. It also offers rewards through the Barclaycard Visa credit card, which Karimzad has called out as having some potentially predatory interest conditions. The new Goldman card seems a likely improvement, but Arielle O’Shea, a personal finance expert at NerdWallet, says the upcoming card could run into stiff competition in a crowded market, especially from the biggest bank in America.

“JPMorgan Chase has put a lot of work into luring millennial customers with its Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve travel cards,” she tells Inverse. “Given that millennials tend to most value experiences and travel, they may continue to be attracted to travel rewards cards despite Apple’s powerful brand.”

Apple Credit Card Perks

Unlike the Barclaycard, the new Apple credit card could offer 2 percent cash back on most purchases and possibly even more on Apple hardware and services, according to the WSJ. That’s more generous than the Barclay’s, which offers 3x points on Apple purchases, 2x points on restaurants, and no annual fee (while cash-back is more boring than paying for vacations using rewards, they also tend to pay off more quickly at lower levels of spending). But it also looks like Apple will try to make Apple Pay’s technology one of the main lures.

The report cites anonymous Apple engineers who are working on accompanying card features, and they described what sounds a lot like Apple Watch fitness trackers, for your money. They’ve considered using the “fitness rings” visuals from the smartwatch that fill up when users achieve their daily workout goals. Apple’s Wallet app could become like a financial health app that encourages users to pay off their credit card early and track their rewards.

Apple Credit Card: How to Get One

Apple and Goldman are still fine tuning this idea, but the WSJ reported that employees will begin testing it in the coming weeks and begin issuing it this Spring. It’s still too early to say how difficult the card will be to qualify for but, if the 2 percent cash back figure is to be believed, that would put it among the higher-end cards like the Citi Double Cash, which generally requires a score of 700 or higher, according to WalletHub.

@kusalrathna patta mchan .. keep it up

If your computer has been infected with PyLocky Ransomware and you are searching for a free ransomware decryption tool to unlock or decrypt your files—your search might end here.
Security researcher Mike Bautista at Cisco's Talos cyber intelligence unit have released a free decryption tool that makes it possible for victims infected with the PyLocky ransomware to unlock their encrypted files for free without paying any ransom.
The decryption tool works for everyone, but it has a huge limitation—to successfully recover your files, you must have captured the initial network traffic (PCAP file) between the PyLocky ransomware and its command-and-control (C2) server, which generally nobody purposely does.
This is because the outbound connection—when the ransomware communicates with its C2 server and submit decryption key related information—contains a string that includes both Initialization Vector (IV) and a password, which the ransomware generates randomly to encrypt the files.

"If the initial C2 traffic has not been captured, our decryption tool will not be able to recover files on an infected machine. This is because the initial callout is used by the malware to send the C2 servers information that it uses in the encryption process," the researcher explain.

First spotted by researchers at Trend Micro in July last year, PyLocky ransomware found spreading through spam emails, like most malware campaigns, designed to trick victims into running the malicious PyLocky payload.

To avoid detection by sandbox security software, the PyLocky ransomware sleeps for 999.999 seconds—or just over 11 and a half days—if the affected system's total visible memory size is less than 4GB. The file encryption process only executes if it is greater than or equal to 4GB.
Written in python and packaged with PyInstaller, PyLocky ransomware first converts each file into the base64 format and then uses randomly generated Initialization Vector (IV) and password to encrypt all the files on an infected computer.
Once a computer is encrypted, PyLocky displays a ransom note claiming to be a variant of the well-known Locky ransomware and demands a ransom in cryptocurrency to "restore" the files.
The note also claims to double the ransom every 96 hours if they don't pay to scare victims into paying up the ransom sooner rather than later.
PyLocky primarily targeted businesses in Europe, particularly in France, though the ransom notes were written in English, French, Korean, and Italian, which suggested that it may also have targeted Korean- and Italian-speaking users.
You can download the PyLocky ransomware decryption tool from GitHub for free and run it on your infected Windows computer.
Though ransomware may not be as high profile as the Locky, WannaCry, NotPetya, and LeakerLocker widespread 2017 ransomware attacks, both individuals and enterprises are strongly recommended to follow below-mentioned prevention measures to protect themselves.
Beware of Phishing emails: Always be suspicious of uninvited documents sent over an email and never click on links inside those documents unless verifying the source.
Backup Regularly: To always have a tight grip on all your important files and documents, keep a good backup routine in place that makes their copies to an external storage device that is not always connected to your PC.
Keep your Antivirus software and system up-to-date: Always keep your antivirus software and systems updated to protect against latest threats.
