Free Upgrade to Quick Heal v16.00, Sony Hack, and Other IT Security News

We closed the month of November with some pretty significant developments in the IT Security world and Quick Heal itself. WhatsApp deployed a strong encryption technology, and we got to hear about Android L. At Quick Heal, we released the new and improved 16.00 series with Safe Banking as its highlight feature. Let’s read up on the IT security news of this week.

Close to 40 GB of Data Hacked and Leaked from Sony Pictures Entertainment’s (SPE)
The start of the holiday turned nightmarish for SPE who was hit by a cyberattack that leaked 40 GB of data including personal information, salaries and home addresses for employees and freelancers who worked for the organization. One of the many information that got leaked was, the chairman of Sony Pictures make $12 million a year. Such and many information which should have kept under tight wraps are now leaked and public. And to add as a frosting to this entire fiasco, reportedly, Sony kept thousands of passwords in a folder named “Password”. More of this news here.

Threatening Emails for Sony Employees by Hackers
It seems that a group of hackers, who call themselves as GOP, sent emails to Sony employees. The email warned the employees that their family will be in danger. Sony has confirmed the incident, and stated that it is working with law enforcement. The group of hackers who were involved in this, is the same group who took the responsibility of the hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Read more on this here.

      Hi Mayank,

      Thank you for using Quick Heal Internet Security.

      The Vulnerability Scanner works in the background. It is initiated automatically as soon as you run a Full System Scan on your system.
      The PC2Mobile Scan is a feature that comes only with Quick Heal Total Security. But, you can download our Free Mobile Security product from Google Play to secure your Android phone, if you have one. Click the below link to download:
