This really spooked me out, I check my hotmail and there was this folder created named sonrie.net and I ain't the one that created it. :cry: The folder was empty so I went to the site and I don't know what to make of it. Anyone else have this folder mysteriously appear in their accounts or am I the only one. :no: I've took a screenshot for all to see. Now I have to change/mix up all my passwords again :angry:

Nope... checked my hotmail and their it was. I check my mail a lot everyday. It wasn't their and hour or two ago and suddenly it comes outta nowhere. All I was doing was watching a DVD on my computer. If I access hotmail through anything else than a browser it's Outlook Express.

why does your screenshot show "sonrie.net" all over the place? the titlebar, on the right side of the window? i don't know anything that can do that to a site without modifying the code... :ermm:

i did notice that you have a window open called "sonrie.net - 3 simples..." what's that?

I was checking my email, just before I was about to sign out, I saw the folder on the bottom of the list, so I clicked on it and it was empty. So I opended another browser typed the address and that why it says "sonrie.net - 3 simples..." Didn't know what the hell it was so took a screenshot.

If you believe your hotmail account has been compromised...

- Change password (done).

- Run antivirus/anti-trojan software.

- Check for keylogging programs or adware that may have been installed onto your computer.

- Check with family members/friends who may have accessed your account or computer.

To prevent this in the future...

Only thing I can think of is that if you log into a public place, log out, clear cookies, etc.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
    • Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
