In recent weeks, the system Android became the target of a new virus, which drew attention for its quickness in installing itself on cell phones. Thus, known as a new version of XLoader, it came to light after spreading via text messages (SMS) and fake apps (malicious APKs). His operation takes place secretly to steal data and intercept two-step authentication codes.

For those who don’t know yet, criminals send text messages (SMS) and indicate a necessary update of the Google Chrome. However, users who accept the recommendation end up installing malware, which works secretly, as it asks for some authorizations such as acting in the background. This way, the owner of the cell phone Android doesn’t even notice the movement.

It is worth noting that the virus only needs to be installed. Once this happens, the user will not be able to prevent personal data from being stolen. As the crime progressed rapidly, the cybersecurity company, McAfeeidentified the group Roaming Mantis responsible for this new threat. Warned about the coup, the Google acted quickly and started creating updates that promise to prevent the action.

Since recent years, the AI (Artificial intelligence) has been dominating the world and showing increasingly surprising capabilities. Thus, the developer Jason Rohrer drew attention with a somewhat unusual creation. He developed a platform that allowed anyone to develop their own chatbot (a system with artificial intelligence that simulates human conversations).

However, the creation of human conversations was up to each user of the platform. Like this, Joshuaa 33-year-old writer, used the AI and made it Jessica, his fiancée who died in 2012 due to liver disease, responded via chatbot. Given this, several admirers of the project created by Jason Rohrer they began to recreate and ‘talk to the dead’ through artificial intelligence.
