This was the most famous ransomware of 2017 and believe it or not it brought (i hope so) a security revolution within companies. It all started when ShadowBrokers released various exploits (in use by NSA) in April and then later in May these exploits were leveraged by the attackers to launch WannaCry ransomware.

The message was clear. Samsung had figured out bendable displays and was ready to be at the forefront of the smartphone’s future. But then, it all evaporated.

The images show a handset that features a design language that is similar to that of the 2013 and the 2014 Moto X, but with some tweaks....

As reported by the American specialist TechCrunch, the APK (Android Application Packages) of Instagram reveal certain files and icons that respond to features not yet released, although it is expected that they will be available soon. As you can see, these icons would respond to the functions of voice calls and video calls within the application, specifically, within the section of direct messages. At the moment the company, which cannot deny this information since it is a verifiable fact, remains completely silent, so it is impossible to know the release date of this function....

The question of course is: do those additions warrant those massive price tags? The first example that a lot of people will pull out is that of the iPhone.

And if Apple was able to pull it off, why cannot Samsung?...
