Iran is said to take a decision to completely disconnect the worldwide web from the country in favor of its own “clean” alternative.

Some of the media reports claim that the current plan is that the country will institute a nationwide intranet which will be isolated from the regular web, and, of course, strictly regulated by the Iran authorities. This wasn’t the first time such reports hit the web: the plan was reported before, because it was said to be first proposed last year and aimed at the great unwashed.

However, according to the plan, elite users will keep access to the regular Internet. Among those users would

Security experts from NQ Mobile have recently detected new Android malware which is controlled through SMS messages. The malware, dubbed TigerBot, is able to record calls and surrounding noise.

TigerBot was detected while circulating in the wild through non-official Android channels.

The malware in question is meant to steal personal data from those hapless Mac users who have been doing nothing to protect their system except for twiddling their thumbs. Indeed, plenty of people are satisfied with the impenetrable fortress of security that Apple’s computers are, for some reason, perceived to be. Flashback Trojan worms its way onto OS X devices and demands administrator passwords. In case a user hands it over, the virus will install itself into the computer and comb for personal information.

Dr. Web, one of the major Russian antivirus companies, first reported that over 550,000 Mac machines
