Town Line Ridge, SLWA, 15 Dec, 2018
I had an awesome opportunity today to join a few of my friends from the Adirondack Wilderness Explorers (https://groups.place/Adirondack-Wilderness-Explorers) on a short hike. Our destination today was Town Line Ridge in the Silver Lake Wilderness Area. If time and conditions allowed, we also planned to check out the nearby falls on the Vly Creek.
Arriving at 9:00, I met my three fellow Wilderness Explorers (& one dog) in the Hernandez Rd. parking lot in the Town of Wells. After a quick greeting and hearty handshakes all around, we slipped on the microspikes and headed up the well packed path and into the Silver Lake Wilderness Area.
After a little bit or searching, our stalwart leader and trip organizer, found a suitable crossing of Vly Creek.
Once across the creek, we headed up over the low shoulder of Rooney Hill and intersected a tributary creek. We followed the small creek upstream until the appropriate place to begin our final ascent up the slopes Town Line Ridge.
The snow conditions we getting a little soft as we climbed through the hardwoods. Since we were close to the summit, most of us kept our spikes on for the final push.
Soon enough, we were at the top of this modest 1568' hill. Town Line Ridge is so named as it is bisected by the Hope-Wells town line. According to our fearless leader, the open summit is a result of the 1903 forest fires. The views are 180° from south-west-north.
Wallace, Three-Ponds and Vly Mts. stand out across the amphitheatre like setting.
Looking NW, Devorse Mt. fills the foreground with the large peaks of Dugway, Swart and Hamilton Mts. stretching to the north.
After a light snack and some map study, we suited up and headed down through soft snow.
The snowshoes came on after we crossed the small tributary that separates Town Line Ridge from Rooney Hill.
A quick traverse of the middle slopes of Rooney Hill brought us directly to Vly Creek falls. The beautiful waterfalls were mostly frozen, but still spectacular.
In the summer, this is one of the greenest places I have ever seen in the Adirondacks (http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.p...ly+creek+falls). The leaves, mosses and ferns are absolutely spectacular. Now, it was great to see this familiar place coated in white. The spikes came back on as I descended into the gorge to enjoy the beauty.
After satisfying our Explorers curiosity, we recrossed Vly Creek and walked the short distance back to the parking area. All told, we hoofed a little under 4 miles through some beautiful woods. It was great to get back out with my AWE friends and share some great memories in the Wilderness.

Remote access nightmare: amount of malware that is new backdoors increases more than 40% in 2018
Out of all the new malicious files detected in 2018, the amount that turned out to be backdoors rose by 44%, while the volume of ransomware increased by 43%. One in three (30.01%) computers encountered at least one online malicious threat in 2018. Taken together, these results show that malware, and backdoors and ransomware in particular remains significant risk for computer users.
In 2018, ransomware (Trojan-Ransom) and backdoor detections comprised 3.5% and 3.7% of all new malicious files collected in the first ten months of the year. This represents a rise of 43% for ransomware (from 2,198,130 in 2017 to 3,133,513 in 2018) and 44% in backdoors (2,272,341 in 2017 to 3,263,681 in 2018).
Share of new malicious file detections by behavior in 2018
Overall, Kaspersky Lab’s detection technologies handled 346,000 new malicious files every day in the first ten months of the year. The number and range of new malicious files detected on a daily basis is a good indicator of the interests of cybercriminals involved in the creation and distribution of malware. In 2011, our technologies detected 70,000 new files a day, and by 2017, the number had risen five-fold to 360,000.
“2018 saw a slight relief in daily detections. On the one hand, this could indicate criminals’ interest in reusing old malware that has proven efficient. On the other hand, the spikes in the number of backdoor and Trojan-Ransom detections show us that malicious actors are in constant search for new ways to compromise victims’ devices and make money out of them. The enduring interest in ransomware and its continued development is a warning to stay vigilant – both against existing, known cyberthreats and new, as yet unknown ones. This is why we continue to improve our detection and protection systems on a daily basis, making sure our customers are secure,” says Vyacheslav Zakorzhevsky, Head of Anti-Malware Research at Kaspersky Lab.
Other annual threat statistic highlights of 2018 include the following:
• Kaspersky Lab solutions repelled 1,876,998,691 attacks launched from online resources located all over the world.
• Kaspersky Lab’s web antivirus solution detected 21,643,946 unique malicious objects.
• 30.01% of user computers encountered an online malware attack at least once over the year.
In order to stay protected, Kaspersky Lab recommends the following:
• Pay close attention to, and don’t open any suspicious files or attachments received from unknown sources.
• Do not download and install applications from untrusted sources.
• Do not click on any links received from unknown sources and suspicious online advertisements.
• Create strong passwords and don’t forget to change them regularly.
• Always install updates. Some of them may contain critical security issues fixes.
• Ignore messages asking to disable security systems for Office software or antivirus software.
• Use a robust security solution appropriate to your system type and devices like Kaspersky Internet Security or Kaspersky Security Cloud.

Don’t let easy-going holiday shopping hinder your vigilance
The time of unrestrained shopping has already begun, thanks to Black Friday in November. This is swiftly followed by Christmas and New Year gift giving, and then the January sales. But it is worth remembering that cybercriminals targeting consumers’ banking credentials or online shopping accounts could hit the jackpot this holiday season. As shown by the Kaspersky Lab report “From festive fun to password panic: Managing money online this Christmas”, online shopping is one of the most popular activities on the internet, only surpassed by email. And while the majority of people (93%) are aware of financial cyberthreats, 32% have had our financial credentials fall into the wrong hands.
The convenience of online shopping may be very seductive, but some people are still concerned about how well protected their online payments are. Unfortunately, their concerns are well reasoned. Out of the 32% whose financial credentials were compromised, the survey revealed that a quarter (26%) of them had never got their money back. Factors that can potentially put people’s finances at risk include the difficulty in controlling payment credentials’ after they have been used on different e-commerce platforms and the variety of payment methods available.
Online shopping is like visiting a giant mall where people can buy items from dozens of different e-commerce platforms. It is no surprise that shoppers may struggle to keep all of their online payment information under control. More than half of people (54%) are most worried about their financial credentials being accessed by cybercriminals. However, a third (36%) of respondents have forgotten or not even tried to remember the websites and apps where they have shared their financial details.
As consumers try to ensure their payment credentials are easy to find and remember, one in five (20%) even prefer to store them on devices. This can make submitting credentials more convenient when people do their shopping online, so they do not have to worry about forgetting them. However, if the device is lost or stolen, a user is at risk of not only losing their personal data but also their money, because someone could access their bank account if they found the respective credentials in the smartphone’s notes.
The wide range of digital payment methods gives shoppers the freedom to choose their favorite way of buying goods or services. The most preferable method is still debit and credit cards, direct transfers from bank accounts and e-wallets, e.g. PayPal. However, other payment methods are growing in popularity. Frequent shopping allows people to collect points via loyalty programs and use them when revisiting a retailer to buy more. And thanks to smartphones and smartwatches, consumers don’t even need to carry around their wallet, physical money or even plastic cards. This has helped to raise the popularity of contactless device payments, such as PayPass and Apple Pay, with a third of shoppers (31%) using them regularly.
“The end of the year and the holiday season is a wonderful time when people are buying presents for their families and friends. But no one wants to have this time spoiled by losing money through unsafe transactions or online fraud,” comments XXX, Kaspersky Lab. “We should all be very attentive to our financial data and online payments, taking care to avoid putting our bank card credentials on untrusted web sites or making payments from unsecured devices.”
To make online shopping safe, Kaspersky Lab recommends using a cybersecurity solution that can protect online transactions and keep shopping accounts safe.
• Kaspersky Security Cloud is an example of how software can adaptively help to overcome the challenges people face in keeping their finances secure. The solution protects your credit card details by opening a secure browser whenever you buy online and by auto-filling securely your payment details.
• The Kaspersky Password manager, for instance, is designed to keep private lives safe – including financial details. It gives shoppers secure access to their passwords, PINs and key credentials, anywhere on any device – making payments both quick and safe.

Cotter Brook falls, WLWF, 13 Dec, 2018
Today, Tredhed and I did our annual "shakedown" hike at one of our favorite little trailheads in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest. After some light maintenance at the Hamilton County Mosquito Preserve, we hit the Georgia Brook trailhead on Rt.8 just outside of Wells.
Quickly putting on our snowshoes and cinching up our packs, we headed up the trail to sign in at the lightly used register. The blue disked trail climbed a hundred feet to a junction with the Georgia Brook trail and an abandoned snowmobile trail.
When we were last here, 363 days ago (http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.php?t=24945) , we turned left to follow the Georgia Brook trail. Today, we turned right to follow the abandoned snowmobile trail down the hill towards Georgia Brook.
The bridge that was here during my last visit in the spring of 2015 was long gone. Only the ice on Georgia Brook and the numerous tag alders greated us this day.
Fortunately, Tredhed was able to find a great ice bridge across the brook and we were soon on our way up a most beautiful trail.
Along the way, we noticed an unauthorized and unpermitted dwelling on state land :eek:
Having no cell service, we decided to call DEC later on this egregious infraction. :D
Soon enough, it was time to turn off the trail and explore the small, 6' waterfall on Cotter Brook.
While the falls were almost completely frozen, they made a good place to check our troubles and forget about the hectic holiday season for a few minutes.
All that was left to do was retrace our steps back to Rt. 8 and head on out. It was a great couple hours in the woods testing our snowshoes and reacquainting ourselves with the intricacies of crossing blowdown, turning around, backing up and generally not falling on our butts. To celebrate our success, we hoisted a pint of Fiddlehead IPA :boozing: at George Henry's in Warrensburg. Huzzah!
