MICROSafeX Launches Kickstarter Campaign for World’s First ‘Unhackable’ Computer

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- MICROSafeX announces a newly patented "unhackable" security technology / computer platform and it's working to raise money through a Kickstarter campaign set to launch on June 25, 2019 (US Patent No.: 10,061,923 B1).

Pritam Nath, founder of MICROSafeX, has been issued a hardware utility patent for an Internet-connected computer that cannot be hacked in any way whatsoever.

Nath has an engineering degree in electronic hardware from UCLA and more than 35 years of experience in systems architecture, large integrated software systems and some hardware in various computers, Internet, operating systems, BIOS, device drivers, embedded systems, and more. He has designed and built a fully functioning personal computer.

"This new hardware design is very different from all other computers on the market today," Nath says.

The company is working to raise funds for what it's calling, "the world's first unhackable computer."

"Computer hacking is a huge problem and this new technology solves problems ranging from viruses and malware to computer hijacking," Nath explains.

Hacking incidents and cyber security threats continue to make media headlines and only serve to illustrate the severity of the problem. MICROSafeX's new "unhackable computer" hopes to reduce and perhaps even eliminate these issues.

Criminals will no longer be able to steal valuable and confidential information from individuals, banks, corporations, hospitals, political organizations, government agencies and more.

While there are a few software security companies that offer software-only based solutions for virus and malware removal, they do not prevent cyber-attacks. MICROSafeX's hardware technology does.

The MICROSafeX-patented, hardware-based prevention system will not allow any virus or malware into the computer. The computer prototype is estimated to be available within 12 months and will retail for $1,250.

EaseUS Conducts a Survey for Data and Information Security

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 28, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Recent reports have revealed that data or information security is a higher risk at the end of every year. EaseUS, an international leader in data backup and recovery utilities, has conducted an in-depth survey on data security for a healthy IT environment and made effective precaution suggestions to avoid information frauds and privacy leaks.

According to the long-term inquiry, it has disclosed that 82 percent have struggled with data security challenges for various reasons such as due to pranks, virus attacks, hacking, malicious spyware or malware, and important information and privacy disclosures. The most obvious occurrence is the sophisticated email scam due to important personal information leaking. On the basis of feedback, even some EaseUS users claimed that they also were spared a narrow escape from email fraud attempts. The recent investigation shows that criminals have gathered user email information in illegal manner or from unlawful avenues including irregular proxy servers, and then sent scam emails to users by the name of EaseUS or Apple App Store with a mimic of MyCommerce payment platform for a purchase request of cheap product copy. Many receivers of the trick are a little bit sloppy without verification of all the details and falls into the scammer's trap.

"Once I received an email for a payment of EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation sent by App Store. I'm not aware of the false branding information and unsuspectingly click on the given link to download the product. Later I realized that this email was perhaps a scam when automatic payment was completed which sent to my mailbox. I received no confirmation message or any other email after I downloaded the unreal application on my PC," an EaseUS customer named Micheal reported.

In such cases, it's an evident unauthorized activity; namely a fraud based on distinct signs in the email content. Hackers often send emails from fake Web sites that mimic reputable brands by adding or changing a few characters in the email address. Based on the information users offered, EaseUS Software, privacy-ready security tech, has detected a forged IP address which can viciously capture numerous information and alerted users of potential risks.

Information security and privacy are of paramount importance in today's information explosion world. EaseUS routinely shares useful advice for the public to take a multi-pronged approach to data or information security. The most effective way to guard against vulnerable data leak or loss is to reinforce the analyzing capacity and discretion; for example, careful analysis of email fraud which contains some common features such as fake email addresses, URLs, unbranded copy, typo, malicious attachments, emotional and uncharacteristic messaging.

Next, adequately monitor for unauthorized activity so that it becomes the usual practice for problem-tracking. Security products are maturing as vendors address how to better mesh security measures with user-friendly functionality. Also configuring proxy properly is to simply record system information instead of user login information as data privacy standards. What's more, the most effective way is appealing to laws for help. Legal team's opinion regarding user privacy rights can also help maintain a high level of security.

EaseUS provides professional IT solutions for home, education and SMB users, service providers in data recovery, backup, system optimization and partition manager on both Windows and Mac platforms.
