Britain's National Crime Agency has taken the unusual step of posting an "urgent alert" for UK netizens - claiming they have "two weeks" to protect against an impending surge of botnet activity, by way of the GoZeuS and Cryptolocker malware.

Through Get Safe Online - the official British web safety group - the organization warned in conjunction with American authorities that this upcoming onslaught is part of "one of the largest industry and law enforcement collaborations attempted to date".

It's thought that pretty much everyone running any kind of Windows OS is at risk. According to the NCA, GoZeuS - AKA Gameover ZeuS - has already pocketed hundreds of millions the world over. What's next is a massive worldwide lockdown using CryptoLocker as ransomware. In fact, according to a recent study, as many as 40 percent of those hit by the ransomware pay the fee.

Computex 2014: When we were on our factory tour of In Win, they showed us the incredible new S-Frame chassis. The S-Frame chassis is built-in painstaking detail, so don't expect many of them to be in the wild - with just 500 units being constructed in the first batch.

After those 500 have been made, we'll have to wait and see if In Win make anymore, and if they do, there'll only be 50 made per month. At $799, they're not for everyone, but there are definitely going to be people lining up to be one of those first 500, that's for sure. It definitely is a thing of beauty, so take a look at the photos and video we have on In Win's new S-Frame chassis.

Computex 2014: Today Crucial announced the new MX100, a direct replacement for the M500 series and with the world's first 16nm flash.

We were able to test the 512GB and 256GB models before leaving for Taipei but didn't get the content ready. We'll publish full reports in a few days when things slow down at the show. Till then, let's look at the press release and some teaser benchmark results.

Key features of the new Crucial MX100 SSD include:

Major websites such as Reddit, Imgur and DuckDuckGo are to take part in the June 5 "Reset The Net" anti-NSA spying online campaign.

They have pledged their support for the day, backed by household-name nonprofits like Amnesty International and Greenpeace, and look like they will promote the effort by offering a splash screen and a push notification that sends users towards a mobile privacy pack. Website owners are being encouraged to begin folding encryption such as SSL, HSTS and PFS into their websites, with a view to making collecting user data more difficult.

The underlying message of the campaign, as described on the official website, is not to "ask for your privacy" but to "take it back".

Computex 2014: WD demonstrated their newest drive utilizing a new interconnect today at Computex. The new drive is built upon the same philosophy as the WB Black2 (reviewed here by Tyler Bernath) but boasts a much faster interface. The new SATA Express connection allows storage devices to communicate over the PCIe bus, and the WD implementation leverages the AHCI command set to assure broad compatibility.

The benefit off SATA Express? Massive speed of course. Here we can see the new drive pulling down 695 MB/s in a sequential test. This is much faster than the limitation of the SATA 2 bus, which tops out around 550 MB/s. The new drive, much like the Black 2, has a 128GB SSD in tandem with a larger 4TB HDD.

Here we can see the new drive from WD, which actually has both an SSD and an HDD. We also see the new connector that provides the bridge between the motherboard PCIe slots and the connector on the drive.

Another year, another WWDC, and Apple has gone ahead and announced a fairly extensive update, iOS 8, that's packed with features - some more standout than others.

Most strikingly is the thorough integration between OS X Yosemite. Your Mac and your iPhone are now complementary devices capable of auto-syncing, whether that is in receiving SMS or sending pages between one another.

In fact, integration seems to be something of a theme. Safari is now extension-enabled, meaning better browser integration among social apps, for example.

Gamers on the Xbox 360 that have Xbox Live Gold membership can get a cool free game this month. The game is called Dark Souls and it will be available to download until June 15. When June 16 rolls around, Xbox 360 gamers will be able to get Charlie Murder and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition for free.

Dark Souls is a game that will have players fighting the undead with each enemy becoming more and more difficult to kill. Last month it was revealed that Xbox One gamers would also be getting some free games in the Games with Gold program.

Xbox One gamers will get Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood and Halo: Spartan Assault. Exactly when those two games will be available for Xbox One gamers to download is unknown.

Since the Disney Corporation's purchase of Marvel back in 2009, they've certainly reinvigorated the brand that was close to bankruptcy and pleased fans with some fantastic big screen adventures including The Avengers. Whilst they weren't able to claw back some of the feature film rights which were sold years before, including that of Spider-Man to Sony Pictures and X-Men and Fantastic Four to Twentieth Century Fox, according to a rumour posted at Bleeding Cool, it looks like Disney might start flexing their muscle in ways that won't please fans.

Whilst it's fair to say that the 2005 adaptation of Fantastic Four wasn't adored by the fan base,it did print some solid cash, making it no surprise that Fox would seek to reboot the property. Disney can't scuttle their plans because Fox own the film rights in perpetuity, but they can do something much heinous to rain on their parade and that's cancel the comic book, ensuring no tie-in can come to market.

Whilst the various Fantastic Four comic properties don't sell in huge numbers comparative to other Marvel properties, the Jack Kirby/Stan Lee property has been around in some way, shape or form for over fifty years. Whilst Disney have not yet confirmed or deny the story, falling back on "no comment", they would do well to exercise caution with Fox - they might get a taste of their own medicine when it comes to negotiating rights to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope which they own the distribution rights to in perpetuity.

Computex 2014 - GIGABYTE has come out swinging at Computex this year, unveiling its new super powerful, but also very light 13-inch gaming notebook, the AORUS X3.

GIGABYTE has crammed in quite an array of technology into its AORUS X3 notebook - with it coming in two models, the X3 which is a 13.3-inch model, and the slightly bigger X3 Plus which comes in at 13.9 inches. The X3's 13.3-inch display has a resolution of 2560x1440, but you can opt the X3 Plus with either the 2560x1440 panel, or go one better with the QHD+ 3200x1800 display.

When it comes to pushing those pixels in games, you need a serious GPU, right? Well, GIGABYTE has used the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M with 6GB of RAM, something that should ensure you keep those FPS numbers up high. There's two 512GB Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) M.2 SSDs in RAID 0 for your storage needs, while 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM will keep everything running smooth.

Two of the lawyers from the law firm that Apple used in its patent fight against Samsung, and an executive from Intel, have released a paper that shows just how much we're paying in smartphone royalty fees - a figure that won't see you smiling.

In a report titled "The Smartphone Royalty Stack: Surveying Royalty Demands for the Components Within Modern Smartphones," we now have a dollar amount when it comes to patent royalty fees on the average smartphone. The average smartphone is priced at $400, with patent royalties costing a huge $120 of that $400 - or more than 30%.

Considering the build of materials, or BoM, is usually less than that - smartphone owners are paying more in patent royalties, than the physical hardware that makes up the smartphone. The paper was written by WilmerHale intellectual property litigators Joe Mueller and Tim Syrett, who were joined by Intel's Vice President and Associate General Counsel Ann Armstrong, who all used public information to calculate the patent royalty costs.
