Man In The Middle attack illustration Yesterday we discovered Lenovo is pre-installing adware on notebooks that uses a “man-in-the-middle” attack to break secure connections on affected laptops to get access to sensitive data and inject advertising. To make things worse, Lenovo installed a weak certificate into the system in a way that means affected users cannot trust any secure connections.

Received a new computer from Lenovo? Until 1st March, we are offering a 50% discount for a remote malware removal on affected Lenovo systems as listed below. That’s only $29.50 for malware removal. Alternatively for a free vulnerability check visit https://filippo.io/Badfish/.

Unfortunately corporate spying like this is the tip 0f the iceberg as we discovered from the Snowden leaks that all Windows and Mac computers have backdoors for government spies which then allow criminals in.

The complete solution is to take back control of your hardware and software. Today we have the Novena and in the not to distant future, Purism Librem 15 laptop.
