Safe file formats
By safe I mean absolutely 100% safe or very close.I know that pdf is not safe due to javanoscriptI know that .docx is unsafe due to macrosI've heard that .rtf is unsafeWhat basic file formats are safe from malware? Mostly interested in text formats but tips on other basic formats are welcome.BONUS QUESTION: If I take an infected file (ex. .pdf) and convert it to a different format (ex. .docx) before opening, does that render the attack useless? I mean, from what I understand .pdf and .docx have different vulnerabilities, so a .pdf attack shouldn't transfer to .docx. What if I then convert it back to pdf?

blackberrymobile.com mining monero?
The site seems to be including a coinhive.com noscript. http://ift.tt/2qSHLiI Address is 9KNyPFbDqJesaSxBLcQoJZX6PgXN1ld0. The way that it's implemented (before the first byte) makes it look like it got injected.Seems weird that something got injected into a BlackBerry site, since blackberry is supposed to be security-focussed.Is anyone else seeing this miner?

The new intel vulnerability
It allows normal user programs – from database applications to JavaScript in web browsers – to discern to some extent the layout or contents of protected kernel memory areas.http://ift.tt/2lEEKleSo, does this mean that by visiting a website, the javanoscript can access information from the kernel of my PC?

www.itwissen.info infects your computer with a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner
I tested it with Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Everytime I opened the website, my Symantec Endpoint Protection encountered a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner in my cache (Image).http://ift.tt/2CkANbq Do not hesitate to test it yourself in a secure environment.This is illegal and definitely not in the interest of the customer/visitor.Your opinions?
