Romanian man kills himself and his son because of a computer virus

  • 2 min
We are sad to learn that a 36 year old man in Romania killed himself and his son because of a common computer virus. The type of virus is malware, or a cryptovirus categorized as ransomware that typically locks a computer system and uses a message that claims the computer owner or user violated the law and must pay a hefty fine or face a deprivation of liberty for viewing prohibited. In this case child pornography was the reason. In other cases the virus may claim that the user also violated the law by using copyrighted content or spreading malware.

Facebook is down for many due to DNS error

  • 1 min
The popular social media website Facebook.com is down due to a DNS error. Many have reported across the world that they can not access the 2nd most popular website in the world, next to Google.com. I personally noticed images missing prior to eventually failing to access the Facebook website altogether. When attempting to access Facebook.com Google Chrome read: The server at www.facebook.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
