  • PAY TV MARKET ENVIRONMENT and COMPETITION in Poland, Pay TV Services Are Offered by DTH Operators, Cable TV Operators and IPTV Providers
    PAY TV MARKET ENVIRONMENT AND COMPETITION In Poland, pay TV services are offered by DTH operators, cable TV operators and IPTV providers. By our estimates, at the end of 2012, Polish operators provided pay TV services to approximately 11 million subscribers. According to AC Nielsen’s data (Establishment Survey 2012), excluding households using more than one pay TV service, the pay TV market saturation in Poland was approximately 66% at the end of 2012. Cable TV was once the main form of access to pay TV services in Poland. Cable TV operators focus on customers in densely populated areas, where extensive infrastructure already exists or can be developed at a relatively low cost per subscriber. On the other hand, DTH operators are able to offer their services to customers in both urban areas, as well as less densely populated areas with non‐ existent or poorly developed cable TV infrastructure, without the need to increase costs. The IPTV market in Poland is growing relatively slowly, mainly due to technological constraints resulting from the lack of modern infrastructure of capacity sufficient to provide high‐quality and profitable services. 1 Based on own estimates and data published by the operators (annual reports of the TVN Group and the Telekomunikacja Polska Group for 2012). 2 Based on own estimates and data published by the Polish Chamber for Electronic Communication (PIKE). 3 Based on own estimates and data published by the operators (annual reports of the Telekomunikacja Polska Group and Netia S.A. for 2012).

  • Comodo Threat Intelligence
    Comodo Threat Intelligence Lab SPECIAL REPORT: AUGUST 2017 – IKARUSdilapidated Locky Part II: 2nd Wave of Ransomware Attacks Uses Your Scanner/Printer, Post Office Billing Inquiry THREAT RESEARCH LABS Locky Ransomware August 2017 Special Report Part II A second wave of new but related IKARUSdilapidated Locky ransomware attacks has occurred, building on the attacks discovered by the Comodo Threat Intelligence Lab (part of Comodo Threat Research Labs) earlier in the month of August 2017. This late August campaign also uses a botnet of “zombie computers” to coordinate a phishing attack which sends emails appearing to be from your organization’s scanner/printer (or other legitimate source) and ultimately encrypts the victims’ computers and demands a bitcoin ransom. SPECIAL REPORT 2 THREAT RESEARCH LABS The larger of the two attacks in this wave presents as a scanned image emailed to you from your organization’s scanner/printer. As many employees today scan original documents at the company scanner/printer and email them to themselves and others, this malware-laden email will look very innocent. The sophistication here includes even matching the scanner/printer model number to make it look more common as the Sharp MX2600N is one of the most popular models of business scanner/printers in the market. This second wave August 2017 phishing campaign carrying IKARUSdilapidated Locky ransomware is, in fact, two different campaigns launched 3 days apart. The first (featuring the subject “Scanned image from MX-2600N”) was discovered by the Lab to have commenced primarily over 17 hours on August 18th and the second (a French language email purportedly from the French post office featuring a subject including “FACTURE”) was executed over a 15-hour period on August 21st, 2017.
