how to solve error code 0x80070422

i‘m quite satisfied with how windows 10 works, but there is one thing that I‘ve noticed. I‘m not getting any Windows 10 update. Whenever I access Windows Updates and check for them, I receive an error code 0x80070422. Does anyone know why and what should I do? and if you do not know then do not worry because in this video i have shown you "how to solve error code 0x80070422 in windows 10"

it is also known as "windows update standalone installer error 0x80070422"

Error Code 0x80070422 is one of the Windows Update bugs, which hasn‘t been fixed by Microsoft from the summer of 2015. While people have started reporting this issue a couple of weeks after Windows 10 release, the latest post about this bug check has been created in December 2016. Typically, this problem appears either after the installation of cumulative updates or clean install of Windows 10. 0x80070422 error is provided on a notification, which appears when a PC owner attempt so check for updates via Windows Updates service. In some rare cases, people may encounter this error message while installing apps on Windows Store. The full message reads as follows:

"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070422)"

While initially, this error may seem like a minor Windows malfunction, in reality, all Windows Update errors should be treated as a serious problem. If Windows OS is missing updates, it may become vulnerable, lack of new features, start delivering new error pop-ups, freeze randomly, and so on. Therefore,  do not postpone Windows Update Error 0x80070422 fix and take needed actions immediately.

- What causes Error 0x80070422?:

This error "may" occur when the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is disabled.

In pre-XP Service Pack 2 installations this service is set to Automatic Start up type.

However..... when Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed, it appears that in some instances the service can be disabled and this can generate the Windows Update error code 0x80070422

- Microsoft have added this description to BITS:

Transfers files in the background using idle network bandwidth. If the service is stopped, features such as Windows Update, and MSN Explorer will be unable to automatically download programs and other information.

If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it may fail to transfer files if they do not have a fail safe mechanism to transfer files directly through IE in case BITS has been disabled.

Autocad 2018 interface introduced

AutoCAD 2018 has been released
I’ve been waiting impatiently for the release of AutoCAD 2018

Introduction of AutoCAD 2018:

   
CAD is an abbreviation for Computer-Aided Design. It is the process used to design and draft components    on your    computer. This process includes creating designs    and drawings of    the product or system. AutoCAD is a CAD    software package developed and marketed by Autodesk Inc. It can    be used    to create two-dimensional (2D) and    three-dimensional (3D) models of products. These models    can be transferred to other computer programs for further analysis and testing. In addition, you can convert    these computer models into numerical data. This    numerical data can be used in manufacturing equipment such as machining    centers, lathes, mills,    or rapid prototyping    machines to manufacture    the product.
   
AutoCAD    is one of the first CAD    software packages. It was introduced in    the year 1982. Since that time,    it has become the industry leader among    all CAD    products. It    is the most widely used    CAD software. The commands and concepts introduced by AutoCAD are utilized by other systems. As a student, learning AutoCAD provides you with    a greater advantage as compared    to any other CAD software.

If you are a new user of this software, then the time you spend    on learning this software will be a wise investment. If    you have used previous versions    of AutoCAD,    you will be able to learn the new enhancements. I welcome you to learn AutoCAD by watching autocad 2018 video tutorials to learn various commands and techniques.
   

AutoCAD    user interface:

When you open AutoCAD 2018, the AutoCAD 2018 initial screen will appear.

On the Initial    Screen, click Start Drawing to open a new drawing file. The drawing file consists of a graphics    window,    ribbon,    menu bar, toolbars, command line, and other screen components, depending on the workspace that you have selected.
   

Introduction Learning to use a AUTOCAD software is similar to learning a new language. It is necessary to begin with the basic alphabet and learn how to use it correctly and effectively through practice. This will require learning some new concepts and skills as well as learning a different vocabulary. Today, the majority of the Mechanical CAD systems are capable of creating three-dimensional solid models. Nonetheless, all CAD systems create designs using basic geometric entities and many of the constructions used in technical designs are based upon two-dimensional planar geometry. The method and number of operations that are required to accomplish the basic planar constructions are different from one system to another. 

In order to become effective and efficient in using a CAD system, we must learn to create geometric entities quickly and accurately

More Hacking Groups Found Exploiting SMB Flaw Weeks Before WannaCry

Since the Shadow Brokers released the zero-day software vulnerabilities and hacking tools – allegedly belonged to the NSA's elite hacking team Equation Group – several hacking groups and individual hackers have started using them in their own way.

The April's data dump was believed to be the most damaging release by the Shadow Brokers till the date, as it publicly leaked lots of Windows hacking tools, including dangerous Windows SMB exploit.

After the outbreak of WannaCry last week, security researchers have identified multiple different campaigns exploiting Windows SMB vulnerability (CVE-2017-0143), called Eternalblue, which has already compromised hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide.

I have been even confirmed by multiple sources in hacking and intelligence community that there are lots of groups and individuals who are actively exploiting Eternalblue for different motives.

Moreover, the Eternalblue SMB exploit (MS17-010) has now been ported to Metasploit, a penetration testing framework that enables researchers as well as hackers to exploit this vulnerability easily.

Cybersecurity startup Secdo, an incident response platform, has recently discovered two separate hacking campaigns using the same Eternalblue SMB exploit at least three weeks before the outbreak of WannaCry global ransomware attacks.

So, it would not be surprised to find more hacking groups, state-sponsored attackers, financially motivated organized criminal gangs and gray hat hackers exploiting Eternalblue to target large organizations and individuals.

The two newly discovered hacking campaigns, one traced back to Russia and another to China, are much more advanced than WannaCry, as sophisticated hackers are leveraging Eternalblue to install backdoors, Botnet malware and exfiltrate user credentials.

According to Secdo, these attacks might pose a much bigger risk than WannaCry, because even if companies block WannaCry and patch the SMB Windows flaw, "a backdoor may persist and compromised credentials may be used to regain access" to the affected systems.

Both campaigns are using a similar attack flow, wherein attackers initially infect the target machine with malware via different attack vectors, then uses Eternalblue to infect other devices in the same network and finally inject a stealthy thread inside legitimate applications, which is then used to achieve persistence by either deploying a backdoor or exfiltrating login credentials.

Russian Campaign: Credential-Theft Attacks 

 

 

Secdo discovered that attackers are injecting a malicious thread into the 'lsass.exe' process using Eternalblue.

Once infected, the thread began downloading multiple malicious modules and then access SQLite DLL to retrieve users' saved login credentials from Mozilla's FireFox browser.

The stolen credentials are then sent to the attacker's command-and-control server via the encrypted Tor network in order to hide the real location of the C&C server.

Once sent, a ransomware variant of CRY128, which is a member of the infamous Crypton ransomware family, starts running in the memory and encrypts all the documents on the affected system.

According to Secdo, "at least 5 of the most popular Next Gen AV vendors and Anti-Malware vendors were running on the endpoints and were unable to detect and stop this attack. This is most likely due to the thread only nature of the attack."

This attack has been traced back to late April, that's three weeks prior to the WannaCry outbreak. The attack originates from Russia-based IP address (77.72.84.11), but that doesn't mean the hackers are Russian.

Chinese Campaign: Installs Rootkit and DDoS Botnet

 

 This campaign was also seen in late April.

Using Eternalblue, a malicious thread is spawned inside of the lsass.exe process, similar to the above-mentioned credential theft attack.

But only instead of remaining purely in-memory, the initial payload then connects back to a Chinese command-and-control server on port 998 (117.21.191.69) and downloads a known rootkit backdoor, which is based on ‘Agony rootkit’ to make persistent.

Once installed, the payload installs a Chinese Botnet malware, equipped with DDoS attack functionality, on the affected machine.

"These attacks demonstrate that many endpoints may still be compromised despite having installed the latest security patch," Secdo concluded. 

"We highly recommend using a solution that has the ability to record events at the thread level in order to hunt, mitigate and assess potential damage as soon as possible."

These malicious campaigns went unnoticed for weeks because unlike WannaCry, the purpose of these attacks was different, holding affected systems for a long time by achieving persistent and stealing credentials to regain access.

The recent example is of "Adylkuzz," a recently-discovered stealthy cryptocurrency-mining malware that was also using Windows SMB vulnerability at least two weeks before the outbreak of WannaCry ransomware attacks.

These attacks are just the beginning, as attacks like WannaCry have not been completely stopped and given the broad impact of the NSA exploits, hackers and cyber criminals are curiously waiting for the next Shadow Brokers release, which promised to leak more zero-days and exploits from next month.

Since the attackers are currently waiting for new zero-days to exploit, there is very little users can do to protect themselves from the upcoming cyber attacks.

You can follow some basic security tips that I have mentioned in my previous article about how to disable SMB and prevent your devices from getting hacked.

Latest Joomla 3.7.1 Release Patches Critical SQL Injection Attack

If your website is based on the popular Joomla content management system, make sure you have updated your platform to the latest version released today.

Joomla, the world's second popular open source Content Management System, has reportedly patched a critical vulnerability in its software’s core component.

Website administrators are strongly advised to immediately install latest Joomla version 3.7.1, released today, to patch a critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2017-8917) that affects Joomla version 3.7.0.

“Inadequate filtering of request data leads to a SQL Injection vulnerability.” release note says.

The SQL Injection vulnerability in Joomla 3.7.0 was responsibly reported by Marc-Alexandre Montpas, a security researcher at Sucuri last week to the company.

The Joomla Security Strike Team (JSST) has not provided any technical details right now, considering the gravity of the reported SQL Injection vulnerability, which could put millions of websites at risk of getting hacked, and eventually users visiting those sites.

However, It's easy to exploit SQL Injection vulnerability, which could allow remote hackers to steal sensitive information from the database and gain unauthorized access to websites.

Since hackers would not take much time to find out ways to exploit this partially disclosed vulnerability, you are advised to download the latest version of Joomla for your website and inform others about the release of critical patch update as well.

WannaCry Ransomware: Everything You Need To Know Immediately

By now I am sure you have already heard something about the WannaCry ransomware, and are wondering what's going on, who is doing this, and whether your computer is secure from this insanely fast-spreading threat that has already hacked nearly 200,000 Windows PCs over the weekend.

The only positive thing about this attack is that — you are here — as after reading this easy-to-understandable awareness article, you would be so cautious that you can save yourself from WannaCry, as well as other similar cyber attacks in the future.

Since this widely spread ransomware attack is neither the first nor the last one to hit users worldwide, prevention is always the key to protect against such malware threats.

In this article, we have provided some of the most important primary security tips that you should always follow and advised to share with everyone you care for.

For those unaware, Ransomware is a computer virus that usually spreads via spam emails and malicious download links; specially designed to lock up the files on a computer, until the victim pays the ransom demand, usually $300-$500 in Bitcoins.

But what makes WannaCry so unique and nasty is its ability to self-spread without even need to click any link or a file.

The WannaCry ransomware, also known as Wanna Decryptor, leverages a Windows SMB exploit, dubbed EternalBlue, that allows a remote hacker to hijack computers running on unpatched Microsoft Windows operating system.

Once infected, WannaCry also scans for other unpatched PCs connected to the same local network, as well as scans random hosts on the wider Internet, to spread itself quickly.

What Has Happened So Far

 

 Later this cyber attack brought down many organizations to their knees.

 

• Day 1: OutCry — WannaCry targeted over 90,000 computers in 99 countries.
• Day 2: The Patch Day — A security researcher successfully found a way to slow down the infection rate, and meanwhile, Microsoft releases emergency patch updates for unsupported versions of Windows.
• Day 3: New Variants Arrives — Just yesterday, some new variants of WannaCry, with and without a kill-switch, were detected in the wild would be difficult to stop for at least next few weeks.

Isn’t the Cyber Attack Over?

Absolutely not.

This is just beginning. As I reported yesterday, security researchers have detected some new versions of this ransomware, dubbed WannaCry 2.0, which couldn’t be stopped by the kill switch.

What's even worse is that the new WannaCry variant believed to be created by someone else, and not the hackers behind the first WannaCry ransomware.

It has been speculated that now other organized cybercriminal gangs, as well as script-kiddies can get motivated by this incident to create and spread similar malicious ransomware.

Who's Behind WannaCry & Why Would Someone Do This?

While it's still not known who is behind WannaCry, such large-scale cyber attacks are often propagated by nation states, but this ongoing attack does not bear any link to foreign governments.

"The recent attack is at an unprecedented level and will require a complex international investigation to identify the culprits," said Europol, Europe's police agency.

Why are they hijacking hundreds of thousands of computers around the globe? Simple — to extort money by blackmailing infected users.

 

How to Protect Yourself from WannaCry Ransomware?

Here are some simple tips you should always follow because most computer viruses make their ways into your systems due to lack of simple security practices:

1. Always Install Security Updates

If you are using any version of Windows, except Windows 10, with SMB protocol enabled, make sure your computer should always receive updates automatically from the Microsoft, and it’s up-to-date always.

2. Patch SMB Vulnerability

Since WannaCry has been exploiting a critical SMB remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2017-0148) for which Microsoft has already released a patch (MS17-010) in the month of March, you are advised to ensure your system has installed those patches. 

  Moreover, Microsoft has been very generous to its users in this difficult time that the company has even released the SMB patches (download from here) for its unsupported versions of Windows as well, including Windows XP, Vista, 8, Server 2003 and 2008.

Note: If you are using Windows 10 Creators Update (1703), you are not vulnerable to SMB vulnerability.

3. Disable SMB

Even if you have installed the patches, you are advised to disable Server Message Block version 1 (SMBv1) protocol, which is enabled by default on Windows, to prevent against WannaCry ransomware attacks.

Here's the list of simple steps you can follow to disable SMBv1:

1. Go to Windows' Control Panel and open 'Programs.'
2. Open 'Features' under Programs and click 'Turn Windows Features on and off.'
3. Now, scroll down to find 'SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support' and uncheck it.
4. Then click OK, close the control Panel and restart the computer.

4. Enable Firewall & Block SMB Ports

Always keep your firewall enabled, and if you need to keep SMBv1 enabled, then just modify your firewall configurations to block access to SMB ports over the Internet. The protocol operates on TCP ports 137, 139, and 445, and over UDP ports 137 and 138.

5. Use an Antivirus Program

An evergreen solution to prevent against most threats is to use a good antivirus software from a reputable vendor and always keep it up-to-date.

Almost all antivirus vendors have already added detection capability to block WannaCry, as well as to prevent the secret installations from malicious applications in the background.

6. Be Suspicious of Emails, Websites, and Apps

Unlike WannaCry, most ransomware spread through phishing emails, malicious adverts on websites, and third-party apps and programs.

So, you should always exercise caution when opening uninvited documents sent over an email and clicking on links inside those documents unless verifying the source to safeguard against such ransomware infection.

Also, never download any app from third-party sources, and read reviews even before installing apps from official stores.

7. Regular Backup your Files:

To always have a tight grip on all your important documents and files, keep a good backup routine in place that makes their copies to an external storage device which is not always connected to your computer.

That way, if any ransomware infects you, it can not encrypt your backups.

8. Keep Your Knowledge Up-to-Date

There's not a single day that goes without any report on cyber attacks and vulnerabilities in popular software and services, such as Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and Mac Computers as well.

So, it’s high time for users of any domain to follow day-to-day happening of the cyber world, which would not only help them to keep their knowledge up-to-date, but also prevent against even sophisticated cyber attacks.

What to do if WannaCry infects you?

Well, nothing.

If WannaCry ransomware has infected you, you can’t decrypt your files until you pay a ransom money to the hackers and get a secret key to unlock your file.

Never Pay the Ransom:

It’s up to the affected organizations and individuals to decide whether or not to pay the ransom, depending upon the importance of their files locked by the ransomware.

But before making any final decision, just keep in mind: there's no guarantee that even after paying the ransom, you would regain control of your files.

Moreover, paying ransom also encourages cyber criminals to come up with similar threats and extort money from the larger audience.

So, sure shot advice to all users is — Don't Pay the Ransom.

Who is responsible for WannaCry Attack?

— Is it Microsoft who created an operating system with so many vulnerabilities?

— Or is it the NSA, the intelligence agency of the United States, who found this critical SMB vulnerability and indirectly, facilitates WannaCry like attacks by not disclosing it to Microsoft?

— Or is it the Shadow Brokers, the hacking group, who managed to hack the NSA servers, but instead of reporting it to Microsoft, they decided to dump hacking tools and zero-day exploits in public?

— Or is it the Windows users themselves, who did not install the patches on their systems or are still using an unsupported version of Windows?

I do not know who can be blamed for this attack, but according to me, all of them shares equal responsibility.

Microsoft Blames NSA/CIA for WannaCry Cyber Attack

Microsoft has hit out at the US government for facilitating cyber attacks, like WannaCry, by not disclosing the software vulnerabilities to the respective vendors and holding them for their benefits, like global cyber espionage.

In a blog post on Sunday, Microsoft President Brad Smith condemned the US intelligence agencies’ unethical practices, saying that the "widespread damage" caused by WannaCry happened due to the NSA, CIA and other intelligence agencies for holding zero-days and allowing them to be stolen by hackers.

"This is an emerging pattern in 2017. We have seen vulnerabilities stored by the CIA show up on WikiLeaks, and now this vulnerability stolen from the NSA has affected customers around the world," Smith said.

This statement also publicly confirms that the hacking tools and exploits leaked by the Shadow Brokers belong to Equation Group, an elite group of hackers from NSA.

"Repeatedly, exploits in the hands of governments have leaked into the public domain and caused widespread damage," Smith wrote.

You Should Thank These Experts

When the outbreak of WannaCry ransomware started on Friday night, It had already infected at least 30,000 computers worldwide, and at that moment nobody had an idea what’s happening and how the ransomware can spread itself like a worm so quickly.

Since then, in last three days, some cybersecurity experts and companies are continuously working hard, day and night, to analyze malware samples to find every possible way to stop this massive attack.
