[b]"(CNN)[/b] -- Hackers appear to have posted account info for 4.6 million users of quickie social-sharing app Snapchat, making usernames and at least partial phone numbers available for download." "The hack was seemingly intended to urge Snapchat to tighten its security measures. The anonymous hackers said they used an exploit created by recent changes to the app, which lets users share photos or short videos that disappear after a few seconds." "In the statement, the hackers said they blurred the last two digits of the phone numbers they posted but were still considering whether to post more with the full number visible."

So there is something else to celebrate this week besides St. Patrick's Day - we've crossed over the threshold of 10,000 community members! A big thank you to everyone who has made this possible. We couldn't do it without all of your participating, answering questions, and welcoming new people. We teamed up with our awesome marcom team to create a special infographic in honor of this event. It includes fun stats about the community. Feel free to share this with your friends and family (I've attached the PDF version as well): [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/9130iA849BD185B0D7C84.jpg[/img]

Employees that are allowed to use their own phones for work should be warned they will lose the privilege if they install Facebook Home, security experts have said. Facebook introduced Home on Thursday. Facebook Home changes the interface of the Android phone it is installed on. The company hopes it will give its one billion users a new and more in-depth way of keeping in contact with friends and family. However, security experts have said that bosses must consider the security implications of the app. Do any community members have an opinion on this? :) [url=http://www.t3.com/news/bosses-should-ban-facebook-home-say-experts]http://www.t3.com/news/bosses-should-ban-facebook-home-say-experts[/url]
In Germany, around 16 million email addresses, user names, and passwords may have been stolen, according to an announcement on Tuesday from the country’s Federal Office for Information Security. The theft was discovered through an analysis of botnets — collections of malicious software that an attacker can use to carry out tasks like collecting user information or sending spam. Because an investigation is ongoing, the office has not released any additional information about who was responsible, or how long the attack had been going on. The Federal Office of Information Security has set up [url=https://www.sicherheitstest.bsi.de]a website[/url] where people can check if their email accounts have been compromised. Concerned internet users can submit their email address, after which they will receive a four-digit PIN number. If the email address has been compromised, the user will receive an email with a matching PIN number. Although the office has the list of all 16 million email addre
Changes in Google Chrome extension ownership can expose thousands of users to aggressive advertising and possibly other threats, two extension developers have recently discovered. At least two Chrome extensions recently sold by their original developers were updated to inject ads and affiliate links into legitimate websites opened in users’ browsers. The issue first came to light last week when the developer of the “Add to Feedly” extension, a technology blogger named Amit Agarwal, reported that after selling his extension late last year to a third-party, it got transformed into adware. The extension had over 30,000 users when it was sold. A second developer, Roman Skabichevsky, confirmed Monday that his Chrome extension called “Tweet This Page” suffered a similar fate after he sold it at the end of November. Skabichevsky accepted an offer to sell the simple extension for $500 because he didn’t have time to improve it anymore. ”A woman named Amanda who contacted me said they wante

[h2]German service pays tribute to Lavabit[/h2]By [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/2468]Phil Muncaster[/url], 16 Apr 2014 Lavaboom, a German-based and supposedly NSA-proof [url=http://www.lavaboom.com/]email service[/url], will go into private beta this week. Its mission is to spread the Edward Snowden gospel by making encrypted email accessible to all. Although it has been referred to in various parts of the interwebs as an heir to Lavabit, the now-defunct encrypted email service used by Snowden, the new service's name is a tribute to its predecessor and nothing more. Lavaboom is a free service with a 500MB mailbox limit made secure by three main principles: end-to-end encryption; “zero-knowledge privacy”; and “three-way authentication”. The firm said its aim is to make encryption as “simple as sending regular email” so anyone can use it. Three-way authentication is offered for Lavaboom’s “more security conscious users” as f
[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/3692iCC41B1204C67BCF3.jpg[/img]We all know about the FBI Ransomware that has been going around the web lately, right? Well, we all know that is fake. But what if that ransomware was legally allowed to be placed on your computer because the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) suspects you of downloading pirated films? That is exactly what they are asking the US Congress to allow them to do, all in the name of protecting their property. The idea, coming from what can only be assumed to be a lucid dream in a George Orwellian world similar to 1984, would allow the MPAA to infect your computer with rootkits, spyware, and ransomware, holding your files hostage until you turn yourself in to the proper authorities, all while under the guise of protection. Beyond the infection, an even more concerning aspect is that the MPAA wants to infect suspected computer users even if evidence is minimal or in
Free antivirus applications aren’t what they used to be. Free antivirus companies are now bundling adware, spyware, toolbars, and other junk to make a quick buck. At one point, free antivirus was just advertising, pushing users to upgrade to the paid products. Now, free antivirus companies are making money through advertising, tracking, and junkware installations.
