A mother in Texas is on trial after she punished her two-year-old daughter by gluing her hands to a wall. Prosecutors say Elizabeth Escalano severely beat her daughter over potty-training. When she arrived at the hospital, the child’s brain was swollen. Her body was bruised from head to toe, which included bite marks on her skin. And then, police say her mother glued her hands to a wall. A doctor testified -- with tears in her eyes -- that the abuse fits the criteria for torture. The mother is 25, and has 4 other children. They have been placed with Child Protective Services. Escalano faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted. [13WHAM]
Warning: Skype users attacked by ‘lol is this your new profile pic?’ ransomware and click fraud
Cybercriminals are once again targeting Skype users, although this time they are using ransomware and click fraud on their victims. For the uninitiated, ransomware is malware which restricts access to the computer it infects (either by encryption or locking the system and spamming with prompts), demanding a ransom paid for the restriction to be removed. Click fraud meanwhile is a type of scam that occurs when someone or a program imitates a legitimate user by clicking on an ad for the purpose of generating revenue for another party. [The Next Web]
