Texas attorney Jason L. Van Dyke recently filed a lawsuit against nude-photo-sharing site Pink Meth and included the Tor Project among its defendants. Pink Meth is an "involuntary pornography" site, the suit charges, enabling users to post nude photos for the purposes of getting revenge on those pictured. It's accessible only to users who have downloaded Tor's anonymity-minded software. The plaintiff named in the case is allegedly a victim of Pink Meth's service who was caused mental anguish and loss of earning capacity as a result.

Device owners need to overwrite their files to make them irretrievable, Avast said, touting one of the applications it offers. "RAM-based memory still uses the same file system as hard drives, and ... PC files do not really get deleted either," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO at KnowBe4.

The increase in infected computers has come hand-in-hand with a jump in the appearance of malware samples, said Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs, the research arm of Panda Security, one of the sponsors of the APWG report.
