Wav Files Can Be Used To Hide Malware And Cryptocurrency Miners

The infectious WAV files appear innocuous until you play it. Security researchers discovered that the these either produced a normal music piece with no quality issues, or just generated white noise. When you do play them, though, the embedded code installs a Monero miner in some instances, or opens up a PC to remote attacks in others.

Waze Tests Lane Guidance During Navigation

Israeli site Geektime reports that Waze is finally testing lane guidance in the region. It works quite similarly to the feature found in Google Maps.

Whatsapp Imposes New Limit On Message Forwarding Now Maxed Out At Five

Previously, it was possible to forward a message to up to 20 individuals or groups which was already much lower than the original limit of 250.

5 Actors Who Would Be Perfect As Wolverine In The Mcu

That being said, we just don’t think he would fit the bill for Wolverine. The character has a world-wearied, grizzled ferocity about him that few can truly capture. The actor playing Logan has to be able to reflect that in both physique and performance, so with all due respect Egerton, you’re a tad green for the role. With that in mind, we do in fact have a number of candidates we think should definitely be considered for the role of Wolverine in the MCU....
