TRUMP WAS RIGHT – Intel Confirms ISIS Hid Among Refugee Hordes Flooding Europe
TRUMP WAS RIGHT – Intel Confirms ISIS Hid Among Refugee Hordes Flooding Europe
Breaking News August 16, 2016
Donald Trump has said all along that islamic refugees could be a trojan horse for ISIS – now he has been proven right with the latest incident in Germany.
The Federalist Reports
The Federalist Reports
In Germany last week, the vice president of Bavaria’s intelligence-gathering agency, Manfred Hauser, announced ISIS “hit squads” had entered Europe with the flood of migrants that came across the borders over the last year and a half. According to Hauser, there are hundreds of reports that these kinds of terrorist cells have infiltrated European countries, and “irrefutable evidence that there is an IS command structure in place” that will “likely” launch a coordinated attack on Germany.
It appears ISIS took advantage of Europe’s generosity by concealing its fighters in the mass of people desperately seeking a new home. If this comes as a surprise, you haven’t been paying attention.
When the migrant crisis began in 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was quick to inform all would-be refugees that Europe would take in anyone who crossed its borders. She famously said that anyone who could reach Germany would be welcome to stay. Merkel’s proclamation and the ensuing million-and-a-half migrants who came knocking on Europe’s door raised concerns that terrorists based in Syria and Iraq, or elsewhere, would blend in with the crush of refugees and wreak havoc in countries that ISIS considers apostate.
The Politically Correct Insisted This Wouldn’t Happen
National Review’s Ian Tuttle wrote in September 2015, “Given the sheer magnitude of the migration, it is a virtual certainty that terrorist organizations are taking advantage of the crisis to insinuate themselves into Europe.” Months later, after the Bataclan nightclub massacre in November, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who had erected a razor-wire fence on Hungary’s Serbian border, said migrants “present a security threat because we don’t know who they are. If you allow thousands or millions of unidentified persons into your house, the risk of…terrorism will significantly increase.” Frontex, which manages European Union borders, warned of this possibility in early 2015.
But these concerns met censure from European and American politicians and media elites for being xenophobic and bigoted against refugees. The Huffington Post listed terrorists embedded with refugees among their top five myths about the migrant crisis in September 2015. Another myth-buster at the Washington Post came to a similar conclusion in response to Tuttle: “Yes, in theory, terrorists could exploit the same porous borders exposed by human smugglers. But in practice, they are unlikely to use migration routes to infiltrate Europe — and checks are in place to catch them if they try.”
The Southern Poverty Law center reacted to the Paris attack with shock and horror that anyone would connect refugees to fears of Islamic terrorism, calling the mere mention of it Islamaphobic. Of course, no one was accusing refugees themselves of being terrorists. They were simply pointing out that it would be difficult to vet every migrant coming in, and therefore bad actors could easily slip in under the guise of being a refugee.
The deputy chairman of a parliamentary committee on immigration and security in Italy, Giorgio Brandolin, said last year, “Terror groups spend money on training militants; it makes no sense for them to send them over on death boats, risking them drowning on the way.” But Brandolin made the mistake of thinking that ISIS, which sends its men and women on suicide bombings, cares about putting its soldiers in harm’s way.
He further assumed he understood ISIS’ strategy. But the reality is that he, like many others, lacked the imagination to see what ISIS was capable of. They thought that because there was then no proof that terrorists were posing as refugees, it couldn’t have been happening and would never occur in the future. Of course, this is exactly what ISIS was doing.
Political Correctness Contributes to Mass Murder
Now, in the face of the recent attacks in Germany, Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière has proposed a number of new security measures, including expedited deportations for migrants who are denied asylum or pose a threat to public safety, and increased scrutiny for asylum applicants specifically targeted at detecting Islamist radicals. But will these measures be sufficient, or has Europe learned the lessons of its own folly too late?
What has happened with Europe’s migrant crisis is evidence of an ongoing pathology in the West, especially with regard to Islam. Anything perceived as offensive or xenophobic is off-limits for discussion, even if it affects national security. Looking clearly at issues of public safety, immigration, integration, and the threat of terrorist organizations takes second chair to keeping up the pretense of inclusivity that multiculturalism mandates. Political leaders and the media get to feel smugly compassionate and morally superior while accusing everyone of bigotry who express concern about mass immigration.
This pathology manifests itself when authorities and media insist an attacker doesn’t have any affiliation with Islamism or ISIS before much is known about the individual, often in face of contrary declarations from the attacker himself. This happened with Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan, the San Bernardino killers, the University of California-Merced student, the Orlando shooter, the so-called lone wolf attackers in France and Germany, and countless others.
Many world leaders and members of the media would rather swallow their own tongue than state the obvious. They’d much prefer to acknowledge a risk in retrospect than warn of an impending threat. But as I’ve argued before, Europe’s leaders, and our own, don’t have the luxury of being politically correct about national security. Their sworn duty is to look clearly at the world and spot the risks even if it makes them look cold, not to hold our hand and make us feel good about ourselves.
Yet Merkel remains defiant, repeating “We can still do this” in a speech delivered in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks in Germany, two of which were confirmed to be ISIS-related. She won’t back down. But Germany is quietly beginning to acknowledge the threats. So far this year, the country has let in far fewer refugees than in the same period last year, and increased deportations. Merkel’s rhetoric notwithstanding, her government sees the threat and acknowledges this new population is overwhelming their country. Merkel just won’t say so out loud because she wants to retain the role of compassionate leader.
So here we are. Exactly where so many said we’d be, facing unpredictable attacks by men who traveled to Europe pretending to be the most vulnerable people in the world. Instead they’re the most threatening, attacking indiscriminately and infusing fear into the continent.

What is PUP detection criteria: one example is here
Why Malwarebytes recognizes PC Pitstop as Potentially Unwanted
Posted December 22, 2016 by Marcin Kleczynski
At Malwarebytes, we take awesome pride in the way that we're securing clients – not simply from malware – but rather from a developing and troubling danger known as PUPs, or Potentially Unwanted Programs. We as of late fortified our PUP identification criteria because of PUP sellers turning out to be more forceful while in the meantime utilizing more cleaned terrify strategies to push clients into obtaining their items. One organization that we began examining was PC Pitstop. With straightforwardness being critical to us at Malwarebytes, the plan of this blog is to make the certainties open.
PC Pitstop makes a few items including PC Matic, PC Magnum, Optimize, Driver Alert, and Disk MD. Starting at half a month back, we identify these items as PUP.Optional: the initial segment speaking to a Potentially Unwanted Program and the second your optionality, which means we trust it is undesirable by the dominant part of clients but then we need it to be certain that it is your circumspection as a client to expel it.
PC Pitstop set off a few of our PUP criteria, which I've included beneath.
Guaranteeing that registry cleaning is important
A few projects offer to clean or change your PC's registry. In fundamental terms, your Windows registry contains data and settings for projects and equipment introduced on clients working frameworks.
As indicated by Microsoft, registry cleaners are a bit much. Actually, Microsoft itself does not prescribe the utilization of registry cleaners. Items that utilization registry cleaning and advancement as a component to drive deals are viewed as Potentially Unwanted by Malwarebytes.
PC Pitstop's Optimize and PC Matic items utilizes registry cleaning as one of its primary components. They will indicate registry issues, even on a fresh out of the box new PC. It states there are fourteen registry records which "may bring about shameful operation of a few applications." Based on guidelines from Microsoft, we trust this to be a forceful strategy to drive deals.

picture2
Figure 2: PC Matic registry cleaning suggestions.
Asserting that transitory documents are risky
Another of our PUP identification criteria is hailing transitory documents made by the working framework or Internet program as high hazard issues or critical fixes for a non-insightful client. Transitory documents are typical curios of the working framework and program and are not the slightest bit signs of an issue with the PC or an issue that is earnest. These discoveries are typically joined by a red speck or hazard slider.
PC Pitsop's PC Matic indicates impermanent records as earnest issues to the client, even on a shiny new PC.
examine comes about

Guaranteeing that treats are risky
Program treats are a necessary piece of how programs function. For instance, when you purchase something on the web, the shopping basket is probably determined by program treats. Hailing program treats as an issue that requires prompt consideration is a forceful strategy utilized by numerous Potentially Unwanted Programs.
No working trial
Amid examination of PC Pitstop items, we were incited ordinarily (in the wake of showing the previously mentioned issues!) to purchase the product. There is no working trial and the cost of the item was up to $150. High costs without the capacity to trial the product add to our criteria around Potentially Unwanted Programs.
Noiseless evacuation of fundamental applications
A standout amongst the most stunning practices of PC Matic was the incite to expel important applications, for example, Google Chrome's updater, Java's updater, and the sky is the limit from there. Expelling these segments really puts the machine at hazard as both said are fixing basic vulnerabilities.

Figure 7: PC Matic debilitating the Google Update administrations, leaving the machine possibly powerless and outdated.
Noiselessly handicapping the Windows Defragmentation Service
As appeared above in figure 2, PC Matic distinguishes plate discontinuity on a fresh out of the box new PC and prompts the client to buy the item. We have found that amid establishment of PC Matic, one of the primary activities it performs is noiselessly impairing the Windows Defragmentation Service. The issue is that Windows Defragmentation Service is no longer only a defragmenter is to a greater extent a week by week low-level cleanup of the hard drive for things the working framework hurls around. Microsoft exceptionally proposes allowing this to sit unbothered for Windows 8 or more. Indeed, Microsoft says that halting this administration can accomplish more mischief than great.
Once the inherent Windows Defragmentation Service is crippled, PC Matic advances its "SSD Optimization" include that demonstrates the Scheduled Defragmentation benefit as impaired.

Figure 9: PC Matic's "SSD Optimization" comprises of impairing the Microsoft defragment benefit which Microsoft prompts against.
Quietly performing other possibly hazardous activities
There are different changes made to the machine running PC Matic fixes that could be possibly perilous, for example, noiselessly including an authoritative client.

High hazard security vulnerabilities
On top of the greater part of the practices recorded above, Malwarebytes has found a progression of basic vulnerabilities in PC Pitstop's items that can permit any assailant to take control of your machine. We exhort all PC Pitstop clients to quickly uninstall all PC Pitstop items from their PCs until the defenselessness is settled. We have sent points of interest of the vulnerabilities found to PC Pitstop so they can address them promptly.
We utilize our best judgment and a rundown of criteria we've seen mishandled in the past to figure out if programming ought to be hailed as Potentially Unwanted for our clients. No organization and no product is immaculate, Malwarebytes included. We trust PC Pitstop makes a move to remediate the issues recorded above, and soon thereafter we will quickly quit hailing their items for potential expulsion. We are lowered that our clients confide in us to keep them safe and we will forcefully guard our position against the identification of PC Pitstop's items until that time.
Refresh:
We are eager to report that Malwarebytes is no longer recognizing PC Pitstop's item, PC Matic, as possibly undesirable programming. PC Pitstop has not just quit utilizing alarm strategies against potential clients, they have gone the extent that expelling registry cleaning from their item as a matter of course.
