It seems to be becoming a more and more popular theory that cryptocurrency could be the answer to all of the difficulties in the online casino world. This would mean that the slow deposit methods, waiting three to five working days to receive any of your winnings, and having limits placed on how much you are allowed to deposit to play your favourite game online could all […]

The Euro has been a disaster since its birth in 1999. Its monetary pathologies led to youth unemployment rates of 50-60% in Greece, Spain and the Italian Mezzogiorno. It gave a trillion-dollar windfall to German exporters at the expense of the hapless Club Med and amplified Berlin’s diktat over the lands once occupied by the Third Reich.

|By Matein Khalid| Jamie Dimon, the unanointed king of Wall Street and chief executive of New York banking colossus J.P. Morgan did not mince his words. He called Bitcoin “a fraud”, a speculative bubble comparable to the Dutch tulip mania of the seventeenth century and declared he would fire any trader at his bank trading in the cryptocurrency “in a second” for “stupidity”. This has only reinforced the […]

Adylkuzz is believed to have infected more computers than WannaCry, using the same vulnerabilities Another large-scale, stealthy cyberattack is underway on a scale that could dwarf last week’s assault on computers worldwide, a global cybersecurity firm told AFP on Wednesday.

We all know — or, well, we should all know — how to block malware attacks. You don’t install unknown applications. You don’t open dodgy email attachments. And you don’t download files from strange websites. But then, there’s WannaCrypt, aka WannaCry. It starts by infecting you the old-fashioned way, but once it makes it on your network, it uses an out-of-date version of Windows’ Server Message Block […]
