"The missile reached an altitude higher than 1,000 kilometers during its flight, raising the possibility that it was launched at a steep "lofted" trajectory. Deliberately firing the missile at such an angle could allow North Korea to test its capabilities without it landing closer to Japan," the agency reported. According to South Korean military sources, quoted by Kyodo, the ballistic missile covered about 700 kilometers before splashing down in the Sea of Japan. More:
The reported launch comes amid rising tensions in the region and a US military buildup in response to the North Korean nuclear and ballistic threat. In an attempt to deter Pyongyang from more nuclear and missile tests, the US has sent a group of American warships, led by an aircraft carrier, to the region while conducting war games with their regional allies.
China and Russia have condemned North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests, but both countries insist on resuming the stalled six-party talks initiative to solve Pyongyang’s nuclear issue.
The US meanwhile, has been threatening the North Korea with additional sanctions. On Friday, Pyongyang appealed to the United Nations to reconsider implementing any new measures, accusing Washington of “openly threatening member nations” to implement economic pressure on North Korea.
The launch is the first since a new liberal president took office in South Korea on Wednesday saying dialogue as well as pressure must be used to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula and stop the North's weapons pursuit.
President Moon Jae-in has called an emergency National Security Council meeting in response to the launch, the presidential Blue House said.
Tensions flare as North Korea test-fires ballistic missile into Sea of Japan
North Korea has test-fired a ballistic missile, Seoul's military said today, in an apparent test of South Korea's new president who backs engagement with Pyongyang.
The missile was launched from a site near the north-western city of Kusong about 5.30am local time (7am AEST) and flew about 700km, according to the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff.
An “accidental hero” has halted the global spread of the WannaCry ransomware, reportedly by spending a few dollars on registering a domain name hidden in the malware.
The ransomware has wreaked havoc on organizations including FedEx and Telefonica, as well as the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), where operations were cancelled, x-rays, test results and patient records became unavailable and phones did not work.

Security researchers with Kaspersky Lab have recorded more than 45,000 attacks in 74 countries, including the UK, Russia, Ukraine, India, China, Italy, and Egypt. In Spain, major companies including telecommunications firm Telefónica were infected.
By Friday evening, the ransomware had spread to the United States and South America, though Europe and Russia remained the hardest hit, according to security researchers Malware Hunter Team. The Russian interior ministry says about 1,000 computers have been affected.

More than 45,000 attacks of the WannaCry ransomware have been recorded in 74 countries around the world, according to reports.
Other threats reported include hackers who have not come forward to claim responsibility or otherwise been identified, likely made it a "worm," or self spreading malware, by exploiting a piece of NSA code known as "Eternal Blue"

Hacking tools developed by NSA believed to be behind cyber attack on up to 99 countries
Researchers with security software maker Avast say they had observed 57,000 infections in 99 countries with Russia, Ukraine and Taiwan the top targets.
According to an April analysis by researchers from IBM Security, Necurs is made up of about 6 million infected computers and is capable of sending batches of millions of emails at a time. It is also indirectly responsible for a large percentage of the world's cybercrime because it's the main distribution channel for some of the worst banking Trojan and ransomware programs.
Safe to say that since Jaff is being distributed by Necurs, it will hit a lot of mailboxes.
The emails observed so far attempt to mimic the automated emails sent by printers: The subject line is simply one of the words Copy, Document, Scan, File or PDF, followed by a random number.
The attachment is a PDF file called nm.pdf that has a Word document embedded into it. This second document has malicious macros attached and contains instructions for users to allow the code to execute.
Users should always be suspicious of unsolicited documents sent to them by email and should never allow the execution of active content inside documents unless they can verify their source. The best protection against ransomware is having a good backup routine in place that makes copies to an external storage device that's not always connected to the computer.
On 11th May I spotted unexpected email with senders address ray.gifford38@hfhf.ca in subject line, copy_024049, the email contained PDF attachment. Of course I deleted the unopened off my mail providers server. Was able to as i have a program that displays unopened all in coming mail...MailWasher program.
Please be aware its not just companies that are being attacked, be careful...
World wide ransom computer attacks, if your unaware watch out about the extent of the attacks, be careful, update your anti-virus, extra careful if downloading...
your welcome Cassowary bird is quite dangerous isn't it? I've never seen on in the flesh though i spent time in Cains and Port Douglas never saw any Cassowary..
