Since Friday evening RAMSOMWRE has also spread in India. Till now this virus has affected more than 50,000 computers in about 75 countries.

·        In India Andhra Pradesh over 100 computers are affected by this virus attack & that is on AP police. 

  • ·        In India, a section of computers at Andhra Pradesh’s police departments were hacked. Computers in 18 police units in Chittoor, Krishna, Guntur, Visakhatpatnam and Srikakulam districts were affected.
  • · Confirming the attack, Gulshan Rai, Director General of the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), said: "We held an assessment meeting today and have found that 102 systems of Andhra Police have been infected with ransomware, particularly those using the Windows operating system."
  • ·     This malware going by the name of WanaCry thought emails and prevent users from accessing their own information unless paid said the amount.

·  “Once inside the system, the attackers install a rootkit, which enables them to download the software to encrypt the data. The malware encrypts the files. A request for $600 in Bitcoin is displayed along with the wallet and the ransom demand increases over time,” Altaf Halde, Managing Director Kaspersky Lab (South Asia), told IANS.
  • ·        The seeds of the massive cyber-attack were sown by a mysterious hacking group “Shadow Brokers” in April when it leaked a hacking tool called “Eternal Blue” developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA).

8 Steps to read Psychometric Chart , Psychometric Conversion Chart & related important terms.

Psychometrics (H ygrometry)- ·          It is the study of the properties of mixtures of air and water vapour. ·          It’s a determination of physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures . ·          Atmospheric air is a mixture of many gases plus water vapour and a number of pollutants. Composition of standard air are listed below- Constituent Molecular Weight Molecular fraction Oxygen 32.000 0.2095 Nitrogen 28.016 0.7809 Argon 39.944 0.0093 Carbon dioxide 44.010 0.0003 ·                 The amount of water vapour and pollutants vary from place to place. The concentration of water vapour and pollutants decrease with altitude, and above an altitude of about 10 km...

Specific Heat, Heat Capacity, First Law of Thermodynamics & Internal Energy Explained in Details.

Click on  http://fastrackengine.com/specific-heat-heat-capacity-thermodynamics-internal-energy/  for more details. First Law of thermodynamics- The   first law of   thermodynamics   is a version of the law of   conservation of energy (The  total   energy   of an   isolated system   is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but neither can it be created nor it can be destroyed.) The change in an internal energy in the system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. (Change in Internal Energy) Δ U = (Heat added TO the system) Q – (Work done BY the system) W . To understand specific heat in details first we should understand about Internal Energy and how to measure it. The first law makes use of concepts like Internal Energy, Heat and System Work. Internal Energy- ( Δ U) ·        Internal energy is the molecular activity...
