Intel® Security released its McAfee Labs Threats Report: May 2015, which comprises revelations on the rapid proliferation of new ransomware, HDD and SSD firmware attacks by the Equation Group computer espionage group, and a major enhance in malware targeting Adobe Flash multimedia software.
In the first quarter of 2015, McAfee Labs registered a 165 percent enhance in new ransomware driven largely by the new, hard-to-detect CTB-Locker ransomware family, a new ransomware family called Teslacrypt, and the emergence of new versions of CryptoWall, TorrentLocker and BandarChor. McAfee Labs attributes CTB-Locker’s success to clever techniques for evading security software, higher-quality phishing emails, and an “associate” program that offers accomplices a percentage of ransom payments in return for flooding cyberspace with CTB-Locker phishing messages.
The first quarter also saw new Adobe Flash malware samples enhance by 317 percent - researchers attribute the rise to several factors: the popularity of Adobe Flash as a technology; user delay in applying accessible Adobe Flash patches; new methods to exploit product vulnerabilities; a steep enhance in the number of mobile devices that can play Adobe Flash files (.swf); and the difficulty of detecting some Adobe Flash exploits. Researchers are seeing a continued shift in focus among exploit kit developers, from Java archive and Microsoft Silverlight vulnerabilities to Adobe Flash vulnerabilities.

Medtronic, declared the launch of the Fortrex(TM) over-the-wire (OTW) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter. The Fortrex PTA balloon catheter utilizes a high pressure balloon to break up the blockages and open the vessels to assist maintain arteriovenous (AV) access in the peripheral vascular system.
“Being able to maintain AV access for patients receiving hemodialysis for renal disease and kidney failure is critical as it is a patient`s lifeline,” said Dr. Brian L. Dunfee, interventional radiologist, Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, Fla. “In the past, other high pressure balloons could lose their shape, making it challenging to focus the pressure on the lesion that was blocking the AV access. The Fortrex PTA balloon`s rated burst pressure provides me with a predictable and efficient solution to crack the short, fibrous lesions to restore AV access.”
The Fortrex PTA balloon can be used to maintain AV access in patients receiving hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease or end stage renal failure. In some cases, patients receiving hemodialysis will develop plaque blockages at the dialysis site, which can limit access. The Fortrex balloon`s material and design permit shape retention at rated burst pressure, ensuring focused pressure on the lesion for controlled, targeted and predictable treatment.
Additionally, the balloon has been engineered with a low tip entry profile and robust, flexible shaft to enable tight tracking to the wire and successful navigation in tortuous vessels. The balloon material and wall thickness enables reliable balloon rewrap and reinsertion. This, combined with its rapid deflation time, improves efficiency of the procedure.
Medtronic plc, a healthcare solutions company, provides medical technologies, services, and solutions worldwide. It operates through three segments: Cardiac and Vascular Group, Restorative Therapies Group, and Diabetes Group.
