Warm - cold! Snow - Rain! Blink, and the weather will change on
you, if you're living in New England. Yup, it's been a strange
winter so far. But, other than a few chilly shudders, you won't
hear me complaining! As of this date a year ago, we had about 95
inches of snow on the ground. This year, as of today, the snow
cover is very patchy. I haven't even fired up my snow thrower yet
this winter! More snow and rain pedicted for this weekend, but
temps in the 50's are also on the way. I'll live with it!
Speaking of "living with it," I'm not sure all of you [subscribers]
have been receiving A-ONE in your mailboxes lately. I haven't, but
I just thought it might be a glitch on my end. But, a couple of
others mentioned similar problems; and, I noticed a note on usenet
mentioning that, among other site, the A-ONE site was "missing."
So, I'm looking into the possibility that there may be may be a
problem with our site which would result in failed e-mails via
our domain. Meanwhile, I hope that you've found recent issues via
our other outlets.
Following U.S. presidential politics? What a 3-ring circus out
there! Personally, I'm really tired of the politics-as-usual
and I've lost a lot of trust in our national government. It's
really time for a major shake-up or change, but I don't know if
this country is ready for it. While I don't know if I'd vote for
a Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders, I have to admit that I like a
lot of what they have to say. And it's true, there's some that
makes me want to cringe! But, there's even more going on from
the "mainstream" group of politicians that also makes me cringe
even more! It's going to be a very interesting election year!
Sorry for a smaller-than-usual issue this week. I was considering
delaying this issue a week due to the amount of articles, but I
decided that I didn't want to get into a habit of missing issues
too often. We were "short" but bearable this week. Hopefully
the news will pick up again quickly.
Until next time...

FireBee Update News
By Fred Horvat
As stated in past submissions I was having problems with the
FireBee not always booting properly or doing other strange things
while booting. A small number of FireBee owners started having
this issue after we upgraded our BaS (BasicSystem) Firmware. The
solution is to reflash the BaS to the original CodeWarrior
Version located here:
http://firebee.org/~firebee/pictures/files/BaS-20120613.zip.
Well I finally did get around to reflashing the FireBee with the
original BaS Firmware. Since then the FireBee has booted up fine
the couple of times that I have used it since reflashing the
firmware. Someone contacted me on http://atari-forum.com/ about
a newer BaS upgrade but for now since the FireBee appears to be
working properly I am going to leave it as is.

Coleco Chameleon Prototype Shown at Closed to Public New York Toy Fair
The RETRO Video Game Systems team has been on a roller coaster
ride since the very first announcement of their intent to launch
a console. Formerly known as the RETRO Video Game System, now
after acquiring a license to use the name ìColecoî they have
renamed it the Coleco Chameleon. Earlier today, at the New York
Toy Fair the RVGS Inc founder/mouthpiece/PR/marketing executive,
Mike Kennedy, showed a little bit of gameplay for the Coleco
Chameleon in a heavily edited video. Some interesting things are
shown and now available for analyzation by the public.
What is shown in the video is hardwired into the prototype Super
Nintendo controllers. According to their Facebook page, the
controllers they will be using as the ìofficialî Coleco Chameleon
controllers contain many ìoptions (Analog sticks) [which] arenít
working with these games at this time.î This is understandable
as this is a prototype and not the final hardware. I do think
it is poignant to point out that the ìofficialî controllers do
include all of the buttons that the SNES controller does so it
is glaring that those are not being used here.
As many on AtariAge/comments on the Chameleon video on FB have
pointed out there is no power going to the LED on the console.
Considering this is a prototype that is probably to be expected.
According to RETRO Video Game Systems Inc comments regarding this
issue, the console powers on when plugged in- obviously this will
change before the unit is put into production.
For anyone interested in that cartridge, it has ìColeco Chameleon
Prototype 1î printed on a white sticker.
So, has this made you a believer in the Coleco Chameleon? Will
you be getting one? It is rumored that these wonít be hitting
Kickstarter backers till sometime in 2017 (with a Kickstarter
starting in less than two weeks). Is that a damper? It would
give developers proper time to get games ready (games donít just
click together and work).
Coleco Chameleon To Package Custom USB Controllers With
ColecoVision and Intellivision Compilation Carts
The Coleco Chameleon will apparently be releasing ColecoVision
and Intellivision compilation carts with custom USB controllers.
This answers a question that many have had about the future of
this platform. Supporting ColecoVision and Intellivision games
has been repeatedly mentioned by the management team of the
Chameleon. Apparently, early on only compilation carts for
ColecoVision and Intellivision games will be made available.
The inclusion of custom USB controllers for each console will
alleviate concerns of fans as to how multi button games will be
played on the Coleco Chameleon.
Mike Kennedy, founder of RETRO Video Game Systems Inc who are
launching the Coleco Chameleon, stated that in the future they
may release adapters. Mention of the adapters was centered on
the ColecoVision and Intellivision games of yesteryear. In an
interview with me here at Retro Gaming Magazine, Mike Kennedy
and his, then, team were confident in releasing adapters for
many different platforms. There was no mention of these other
adapters in the short interview done with SEO Toy Review on
Youtube.
Presumably the controllers for ColecoVision and Intellivision
will be made available separately. This is ideal if there is to
be more than one compilation release for each of these classic
consoles. This does raise the problem of having two skews for
stores to stock- one with the custom controller and one without
it (for those that own a previous compilation).
Also there is no word on whether only one controller will be
included or if each compilation release will feature two
controllers (for the many two player games on each console).
Considering the controller that RETRO Video Game Systems plans on
including with the Coleco Chameleon I wonder if they will offer
compilations for other platforms with USB controllers too? From
the NES to the Genesis, button layouts are usually unique to each
console. The pack-in controller is only ideal for Playstation
and Super Nintendo gaming. Consoles such as the Turbo Grafx-16,
Sega Genesis, NES, Atari 2600, etc (all mentioned as seeing
potential support previously) have unique button layouts that
simply donít ìfitî the pack-in controller.
The Coleco Chameleon is currently on display at the New York Toy
Fair, as covered here on RGM.

A-ONE's Headline News
The Latest in Computer Technology News

Twitterís Account Suspensions Are Surprisingly Effective Against ISIS
Plagued with complaints from lawmakers and officials that itís
too soft on Islamic State terrorists and their online
supporters, Twitter has stepped up the pace and breadth of
account suspensions during the past year. And according to new
research, its campaign to curb the groupís propaganda reach seems
to be working.
According to J.M. Berger and Heather Perez, Twitterís routine
pruning of Islamic State-associated accounts has kept the size of
the Islamic Stateís propaganda network small, and has
particularly damaged the reach and influence of the largest and
most prominent accounts.
The researchersí findings, published Thursday by the George
Washington Universityís Program on Extremism, temper a general
sense of panic among government officials, sparked by the
impression that the Islamic State is ìwinningî a propaganda war
against the Western world.
Top lawmakers have lamented the effectiveness of the groupís
grassroots-like Twitter apparatus, and have launched shaky
attempts to counter it. In doing so, they have painted a picture
of a well-oiled propaganda machine that floods Twitter, Facebook,
and Telegram with pro-jihadi messages that inspire Westerners to
either travel to Iraq and Syria, or commit acts of terrorism at
home.
Indeed, Islamic State-affiliated accounts have spread violent
images, propaganda videos, and calls to action online. But their
influence is waning.
Berger and Perez determined that thereís usually an average of
only 1,000 easily discoverable English-speaking terrorist accounts
at a time, and that the average Islamic State supporter has only
300 to 400 followers. And those accounts appear to be stuck in an
echo chamber: They generally only interact with other supporters,
rather than spreading their message to new followers.
The researchers monitored a list of ISIS supportersí
accountsómaintained by hand by a particularly active supporter ó
for a period of nearly four months in 2015, making note of account
suspensions and new additions to the list.
At times, Twitter suspended the list membersí accounts at a high
pace, sometimes even suspending a user multiple times in one day.
But most of the time, only about 2 percent of the list was
suspended every day.
Berger has long railed against the ìwhack-a-moleî thesis of
Twitter takedowns ó the idea that suspending an online account is
a waste of time because new accounts will quickly sprout up to
take the place of a deleted one. To test that theory, he and Perez
tracked four users as they were repeatedly suspended by Twitter
and reemerged every time with a different name.
ìWe found suspensions typically had a very significant
detrimental effect on these repeat offenders, shrinking both the
size of their networks and the pace of their activity,î the
researchers wrote. ìReturning accounts rarely reached their
previous heights, even when the pressure of suspension was
removed.î
Twitter has further accelerated the pace of its account removals
in the months after the researchersí study period. Just a few
weeks ago, the company announced that it has taken down 125,000
terrorist-related accounts since mid-2015. The company also said
that staffing increases had led to quicker takedowns.
But a few lawmakers have repeatedly pushed for legislation that
would require social-media companies like Twitter and Facebook to
do more. A bill from Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein, the
chairman and vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
would require the platforms to report terrorist activity on their
networks to law enforcement. But concerns about freedom-of-speech
violations and the potential loss of valuable intelligence from
terrorists on Twitter has led opponents in and out of the Senate
to speak out against the proposal.
If Twitter can show that its own increasingly aggressive
campaigns to stomp out propaganda are working, perhaps it can
dodge a legislative interventionóone that would burden
social-media companies with heavy reporting duties and bring
another platform under government surveillance.
California Hospital Makes Rare Admission of Hack, Ransom Payment
While it was not the first hacked organization to acquiesce to
attackers' demands, the California hospital that paid $17,000 in
ransom to hackers to regain control of its computer system was
unusual in one notable way: It went public with the news.
Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center relented to the demands,
President Allen Stefanek said, because he believed it was the
"quickest and most efficient way" to free the Los Angeles
hospital's network, which was paralyzed for about 10 days.
That announcement sparked fears Thursday among hospitals and
security experts that it would embolden hackers to launch more
"ransomware" attacks and calls in California for tougher laws.
ìItís no different than if they took all the patients and held
them in one room at gunpoint,î said California State Senator
Robert Hertzberg, who on Thursday introduced legislation to make
a ransomware attack equivalent to extortion and punishable by up
to four years in prison.
Usually embarrassment and a desire to discourage hackers keep
attacked companies quiet. Hollywood Presbyterian did not say why
it made the disclosure, but its hand may have been forced by
spreading rumors a week after the hack. Stefanek confirmed the
cyber attack after at least one doctor appeared to have told local
media.
In addition, he disputed media reports the 434-bed hospital had
faced a ransom demand of $3.4 million, far more than the amount
paid in the hard-to-trace cyber-currency bitcoin.
In a ransomware attack, hackers infect PCs with malicious software
that encrypts valuable files so they are inaccessible, then offer
to unlock the data only if the victim pays a ransom.
The hack at Hollywood Presbyterian forced doctors to use pen and
paper in an age of computerization. News reports said its fax
lines were jammed because normal e-mail communication was
unavailable, and some emergency patients had to be diverted to
other hospitals.
Investigators said administrators were so alarmed that they may
have paid ransom first and called police later.
Medical facilities in the area plan to consult cyber security
experts on how to protect themselves, the Hospital Association of
Southern California said. ìHospitals are certainly now aware of
ransomware more than they ever were before, and this has become a
very real threat,î said spokeswoman Jennifer Bayer.
Some experts said ransomware encryption can be so hard to crack
that victims feel they have little choice but to pay if they want
their systems back. The hackers' success could also prompt other
hospitals to make quick payments to avoid the disruption and bad
publicity Hollywood Presbyterian faced.
ìOur number one fear is that this now pretty much opens the door
for other people to pay," said Bob Shaker, a manager at cyber
security firm Symantec Corp.
He knew of at least 20 other attacks on healthcare facilities in
the past year and hundreds more in other industries that had been
kept secret.
Some of those put patients at risk and affected infusion pumps
that deliver chemotherapy drugs, risking patient overdoses, he
said.
Because hackers hide their identities and demand payment in
bitcoin, authorities may have to work harder to find them than
if they used old-fashioned methods.
But cyber-crime experts say that they can still be traced.
"The public nature of the network does give law enforcement an
angle to help defeat them," said Jonathan Levin, co-founder of
Chainalysis, a New York company working with bitcoin users. "But
itís a game of cat and mouse."
Ransomware is big business for cyber criminals and security
professionals. Although ransoms typically are less than the
hospital paid, $200 to $10,000, victims of a ransomware known as
CryptoWall reported losses over $18 million from April 2014 to
June 2015, the FBI said.
Ransomware attacks climbed sharply in 2014, when Symantec
observed some 8.8 million cases, more than double the previous
year. IBM said that last year more than half of all customer
calls reporting cyber attacks involved ransomware.
How Just Opening An MS Word Doc Can Hijack Every File On Your System
If you receive a mail masquerading as a company's invoice and
containing a Microsoft Word file, think twice before clicking
on it.
Doing so could cripple your system and could lead to a
catastrophic destruction.
Hackers are believed to be carrying out social engineering
hoaxes by adopting eye-catching subjects in the spam emails and
compromised websites to lure the victims into installing a
deadly ransomware, dubbed "Locky," into their systems.
So if you find .locky extension files on your network shares,
Congratulations! You are infected and left with just two solutions:
Rebuild your PC from scratch or Pay the ransom.
Locky ransomware is spreading at the rate of 4000 new infections
per hour, which means approximately 100,000 new infections per
day.
It is hard to digest the fact that, in this 2016, even a single
MS Word document could compromise your system by enabling
'Macros.'
This is where the point to appreciate hacker's sheer brilliance
of tactics.
Locky ransomware is being distributed via Microsoft 365 or
Outlook in the form of an Invoice email attachment (Word File
that embeds vicious macro functions).
The concept of macros dates back to 1990s. You must be familiar
with this message: "Warning: This document contains macros."
Now macros are back, as cyber criminals discover a new way to
get internet users to open Microsoft Office documents, especially
Word files that allow macros to run automatically.
Once a user opens a malicious Word document, the doc file gets
downloaded to its system. However, danger comes in when the user
opens the file and found the content scrambled and a popup that
states "enable macros".
Here comes the bad part:
Once the victim enables the macro (malicious), he/she would
download an executable from a remote server and run it.
This executable is nothing but the Locky Ransomware that,
when started, will begin to encrypt all the files on your
computer as well as network.
Locky ransomware affects nearly all file formats and encrypts all
the files and replace the filename with .locky extension.
Once encrypted, the ransomware malware displays a message that
instructs infected victims to download TOR and visit the
attacker's website for further instructions and payments.
Locky ransomware asks victims to pay between 0.5 and 2 Bitcoins
($208 to $800) in order to get the decryption key.
One of the interesting note on Locky is that it is being
translated into many languages, which heighten its attack beyond
English boundaries to maximize the digital casualties.
The new ransomware also has the capability to encrypt your
network-based backup files. So it's time for you to keep you
sensitive and important files in a third party storage as a
backup plan in order to evade future-ransomware infections.
A researcher named Kevin Beaumont along with Larry Abrahms of
BleepingComputer initially discovered the existence of Locky
encrypted virus.
To check the impact of Locky, Kevin successfully intercepted the
Locky traffic yesterday and realized that the cryptovirus is
spreading out rapidly in the wild.
"I estimate by the end of the day well over 100,000 new
endpoints will be infected with Locky, making this a genuine
major cybersecurity incident ó 3 days in, approximately a
quarter of Million PCs will be infected," Kevin said in a blog
post.
What That Scary New Red Gmail Unlocked Symbol Means
In recent days, some Gmail users have been wondering and worrying
about new emails popping up in their inboxes with a new unlocked
icon.
Have no fear. As we mentioned on Tuesday, this is just Googleís
way of telling you that an email youíve received isnít as secure
as it should be.
Emails that have not been authenticated by TLS encryption
(transport layer security) will show this red unlocked icon, but
that doesnít necessarily mean that the sender is an evil spammer
sneaking into your inbox.
What TLS encryption does is protect the security of email messages
as they travel from sender to recipient. That encryption makes
sure that the senderís email remains private, preventing third
parties from taking a peek at the message or tampering with it as
it makes its way to its final destination.
So if you see this icon, and the message has anything to do with
sensitive information (finances, passwords, etc.), you should be
concerned and take steps to contact the sender about the insecure
email. But outside of emails containing sensitive information,
that scary lock icon may just be an indication that the email
could be compromised or that sender isnít taking its security as
seriously as they should be.
Again, if you see the red unlocked icon, donít immediately reach
for the Send to Spam button, just take special note of that
particular message. No need to panic, just keep your guard up.
Gmailify Offers The 'Best of Gmail' Without A Gmail Address
Get "all the bells and whistles" of Gmail without ditching your
current email address.
Attached to a certain email address that doesn't end in
@gmail.com, but want Gmail features like spam protection and
better inbox organization? Now you can have it all.
Google on Wednesday introduced a new tool called Gmailify, which
lets you link an existing Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail, or Yahoo!
Mail account to Gmail so you get "all the bells and whistles" of
Google's email service without ditching your current address.
Those perks include Google's advanced spam detection and blocking,
a tabbed inbox that organizes your mail into groups, and Google
Now cards that call out things like travel and hotel reservations
based on your mail.
If you're already accessing your third-party email from the Gmail
Android app, you'll just need to enable the "Gmailify" feature and
you're good to go. If you don't already have a Gmail account,
you'll need to first set one up to try this out; head over to
Google's Support page for more detailed instructions.
Once you get it set up, when you sign in to the linked Gmail
address you'll see your messages from the other provider in your
mailbox, and you'll be able to read, reply, and organize your
external mail just like you do in Gmail.
"Of course, you're always in control ó so if you ever change your
mind, you can unlink your account(s) at any time, and continue to
access them through the Gmail app without using Gmailify," Google
Software Engineer Michael K‰ser wrote in a blog post. "We're
really excited to bring the best of Gmail to more people, and
we're planning to add other email providers to Gmailify in the
future."
Google first rolled out its tabbed Gmail inbox in 2013. The
feature groups your mail into categories that you can pick, like
Social, Promotions, and Updates alongside Primary, which is
reserved for your most important messages.
95% of Americans Share Passwords With Friends and Family Members
Online security has been one of the hottest topics on the planet
for the past several years. Between Edward Snowden, the Sony hack,
the Target hack and Hillary Clintonís private email server, you
would think that Americans would be on top of their own personal
security when it comes to online accounts that contain sensitive
information.
Unfortunately, youíd be mistaken.
According to the results a recent survey from the developers
behind password management app LastPass, 95% of Americans share
between one and six passwords with friends or family members.
This is in spite of the fact that 73% of them admit that they are
taking a risk by doing so.
You might think that youíre not one of the millions sharing
passwords, but if youíve ever given anyone your Wi-Fi password or
allowed someone to log in to your Netflix or HBO account, youíre
a member of this massive group.
ìNearly all aspects of our lives have some online component and
when you bring password sharing into the mix, all of that
sensitive information is instantly compromised,î said LastPass
Vice President Joe Siegrist.
Although letting a trusted friend jump on your Wi-Fi network might
not be all that risky, another statistic from the survey is far
more worrisome. Security experts will tell you that repeating
passwords is one of the biggest mistakes you can make, but 59% of
the 1,053 people surveyed said they reuse passwords on multiple
sites.
If your Netflix password happens to be the same as your bank
account password, an innocuous decision to share with a careless
friend could suddenly leave you thousands of dollars in the hole.
So, for the last time: use a password manager.
Microsoft Testing New Outlook.com Premium Email Service
Microsoft is piloting a new version of its Outlook.com email,
known as Outlook.com Premium.
Outlook.com Premium seems to be different from the current
ad-free Outlook.com service that Microsoft currently sells for
$19.95 per year. Ad-free Outlook.com, the successor to Hotmail
Plus, removes graphical ads; no need to log in to keep an account
active; and free technical support.
Microsoft isn't talking about when and whether the company plans
to roll out Outlook.com Premium or how much (if anything) it will
cost to subscribe.
But one of the features to which Outlook.com Premium testers have
access is the ability to set up new custom domain accounts.
Microsoft began winding down custom domain support in Outlook.com
in 2014. While existing Outlook.com custom-domain holders were
able to retain existing custom email addresses, Microsoft stopped
accepting new registrations for the service and no longer allowed
those with custom email addresses to add or remove addresses.
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that the company is piloting
Outlook.com Premium and evaluating the return of a modified
custom domain service.
"Outlook.com Premium is not an existing offering, it is an
experiment that we are piloting. We're always investigating new
features based on the wants and needs of our users, and we have
nothing more to share at this time," the spokesperson told me
after I asked about this Web page, brought to my attention by a
reader.
On the custom domain front, the spokesperson said:
"We are evaluating interest in custom domains for
Outlook.com. At this time, we are testing with a limited number
of users in the United States and will evaluate the experience
over time. The previous program required the user to manage the
process of purchasing a domain. We are evaluating the appeal of
custom domains but with Microsoft managing the processes of
procuring the domain."
In other Outlook.com news this week, Microsoft removed the
"preview" tag from its updated Outlook.com experience, but still
has yet to roll out the updated service to many.
Microsoft officials said in May 2015 that they'd be updating
Outlook.com with new features that would make it look and feel
more like "real" Outlook. The plan was to bring Outlook and
Outlook.com closer together so that users feel like there are
fewer differences between these two different email products that
are both called "Outlook." The move was similar to what the
company is doing in terms of bringing together Skype and Skype
for Business (Lync), and OneDrive and OneDrive for Business.
Users of Microsoft's Outlook.com email service can now make and
receive Skype calls directly from their inbox.
In August 2015, Microsoft expanded the very limited number of
users who had received the new Outlook.com preview. As of Febraury
2016, Microsoft is continuing to roll out the updated service
worldwide. Microsoft officials said this week that they are
rolling out the new experience "to millions of users each week."
Brand-new Outlook.com users get the new version of Outlook.com
upon sign up in North America and in the coming weeks in other
parts of the world. Existing Outlook.com users: Microsoft still
is saying we'll get the updated version of the service "soon."
Existing Outlook.com users don't need to do anything; settings
and data will be automatically transferred. Users' Outlook.com
email addresses will remain the same.
I asked Microsoft if existing Outlook.com users can opt out or
are able to get a heads-up before they are transferred. I believe
the answer on both of these is no, but I still have yet to hear
back.
As Microsoft officials said last May, the updated Outlook.com is
"powered by Office 365," which means it will share some of the
same platform-level components - though not actually use Exchange
on the back-end like Outlook does.
The new Outlook.com also will include not just features announced
in May 2015, but also add-ins announced late last year, such as
suggested contacts and automatic flight notifications. Add-ins
for Uber, PayPal, Evernote, Wunderlist and other apps are also
going to be part of the new experience, as announced last August.
