Newstweek is a device for manipulating news read by other people on wireless hotspots. Built into a small and innocuous wall plug, the Newstweek device appears part of the local infrastructure, allowing writers to remotely edit news read on wireless devices without the awareness of their users. 2011
Newstweek was developed by @Julian_Oliver and @Danja_Vasiliev ( membres du @The_Critical_Engineering_Working_Group )

[ Video + transcript of the talk I gave at the ‘Artistic Interventions in Finance’ panel during @MoneyLab : Economies of Dissent 2015 ]
"Today, I’m gonna talk about a project called //Kickended and the path that my research took from there. Made in 2014 , //Kickended is a Kickstarter clone that only includes campaigns nobody wanted to pledge for. Campaigns that raised exactly zero dollars.
[...]
Kickended itself is the result of a failure — if you want to call it like that — since I originally submitted the idea to Rhizome’s Net Art Microgrants competition. Kickended made it to the final round but, unfortunately, it didn’t go through."

Via Fake It Till You Make It
Scammers have taken an old browser scam and invigorated it using a clever and new tactic that takes advantage of your web browser's full-screen mode to show a fake Windows 10 desktop stating your computer is locked.
This type of scam is called a police browser locker. which pretends to be law enforcement locking your browser because due to illegal activity. These scams then state that if you pay a fine via a credit card, it will unlock your computer so you can use it again.
The "Reveton team" has diversified its locking activity. The advert is old (2014-02-18) but i decided to write about it today as I found a TDS using almost all features proposed by this affiliate including the android locker.
Plusieurs variantes différentes ont vu le jour, les procédures de désinfection sont différentes selon la variante.
Il y a actuellement deux grosses infections discincts :
Une famille qui bloque le PC entièrement (Reveton etc).
Une famille qui bloque simplement le navigateur WEB (Browlock), aucun virus n'est installé sur l'ordinateur, c'est simplement une page WEB qui bloque le navigateur. Il suffit de relancer le navigateur sans réouvrir la page.
