Programmers found solution for ransomware successfully

No need to pay for ransomware 
For those who’ve found their computers infected by the WannaCry ransomware, there’s a solution at hand. Thanks to a new decryption tool released by a French security research, you don’t need to pay $300 in Bitcoins to cyber criminals if your system has also been affected by WannaCry ransomware.
The cyberattack affected computer networks in over 150 countries including Britain, Spain, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan to name a few.  According to reports, it has infected over 300,000 computers in the world, and this is widely seen as the biggest cyberattack in the world.
He also found that it does not erase the prime numbers from memory before freeing the associated memory, and hence he was able to create a WannaCry ransomware decryption tool, named WannaKey, which basically tries to retrieve the two prime numbers used in the formula to generate encryption keys.
The WannaKey decryption tool is available for free and works on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008 operating systems. Unfortunately, the tool will only work on those affected computer that haven’t been rebooted after the attack or for computers with associated memory that hasn’t been allocated and erased by user or by some other process, added Guinet.
Reportedly, there is still one more way to unlock your computer without paying. As reported by the hacker news, there’s another tool called called “WanaKiwi” by a security researcher named Benjamin Delpy that can unlock WannaCry infected systems.
This tool is said have to developed on Guinet’s findings and is available to download from Github. The WanaKiwi tool works on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008 operating systems like the WannaKey, and can run using the command prompt.

Phones without Charging

A signed to a connected device giving Strong signals in almost any environment The released patent does not gives detailed idea about the operating frequency and technology which will be going to use. But predictions could be match that frequency. In simple words there is no any tension of charging mobile phone time to time in future because as we enter in home charging of devices automatically get starts and as we are leaving home we get sufficient charging for all day use without any efforts. This technology is awesome as it reduces all the efforts of human as it requires for charging the Mobile phone. But cons of this technology is it reduces the battery life. Due to continues charging battery life decreases and we should replace the battery. This will interesting to see how apple will develop this technology . Low infection risk – For embedded medical devices, transmission of power via a magnetic field passing through the skin avoids the infection risks associated with wi...
