Facebook’s ongoing attempt to reckon with its impact on civil life continued today with the company acknowledging that its platform is not always good for democracy.
Facebook today announced major changes to their 'newsfeed' which 2 billion people use monthly. Now, Facebook plans to begin asking each user to rank their trust in various news organizations.
Technology and our increasing demand for security have put us all under surveillance. Is privacy becoming just a memory?
Amazon has patented designs for a wristband that can precisely track where warehouse employees are placing their hands and use vibrations to nudge them in a different direction.
- Noch ist das Internet ein Netzwerk vor allem für Universitäten und große Forschungseinrichtungen. Aber auch mit PC und Akustikkoppler kann man sich über das Telefon in Großrechner einwählen. Eine Hackerszene entwickelt sich und macht sich auf zu weltweiten Datenreisen, informiert sich über die neusten Erkenntnisse zu AIDS und deckt Schwachstellen in Computersystemen auf.
Nach dem eher bescheidenen Erfolg der Bürgerkarte, ist die Handysignatur der zweite Versuch, eine digitale Unterschrift unters Volk zu bringen. Mit der Handysignatur kann man wichtige Dokumente, wie Verträge, Vertragskündigungen oder behördliche Anträge am Computer signieren, sie ist der handschriftlichen Unterschrift rechtlich völlig gleichgestellt. Help hat nachgefragt, wie man sie bekommt, was sie tatsächlich kann und ob sie wirklich sicher ist
The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) "handles huge amounts of personal data without proper safeguards ... 'major improvement' is needed to reduce risks in systems that powered aid for over 82 million people", according to an internal audit (at least): https://t.co/W4G7kMoqaX
The HackCUBE is a small sized (8.5cm^3) and battery powered SDR cube box. It integrates Raspberry Pi, Arduino, 2.4/5.8G Wifi and HID etc, and can externally be connected with some SDR hardware, such as HackRF, RTL-SDR, CC2541 etc. The whole system (without external accessories) will be equal to Unicorn HackID Plus (RFID read/write/emulator) + Wifi Pineapple + rfcat (Sub-GHz transceiver). It can provide comprehensive and powerful wireless hacking capability.
I already explained the basics of Bluetooth technology in my first article in this series, and even showed off how Elliot used Bluetooth hacking in Mr. Robot. In this article, we will examine the use of the MultiBlue Dongle.
This dongle is capable of connecting to any Bluetooth device and enabling you to use your computer keyboard to control the device. Ostensibly developed and sold to enable users to use their computer keyboard and mouse on their mobile device, as you can imagine, it can be used for more surreptitious activities. It's available from many retailers including Amazon.com for about $35
In this tutorial, we will need physical access to the device, but as we expand and deepen your knowledge of Bluetooth, we will work toward using this dongle to control Bluetooth devices without physical access.
Although Bluetooth is limited to 10-100 meters, that is more than enough to cover most homes, neighborhoods, offices, libraries, schools, coffee shops, etc. With an antenna, this range can be extended. Now let's see how to connect to an Android device and control it via your computer keyboard.
A private company has captured 2.2 billion photos of license plates in cities throughout America. It stores them in a database, tagged with the location where they were taken. And it is selling that data.
More than 17 million Brits were hit by cybercrime in the past year, meaning the nation, which accounts for less than 1% of the global population, makes up almost 2% of the 978 million global victims of cybercrime and almost 4% of the global losses.
Lange vor den Tech-Größen konnte man Personen über Gesprochenes erkennen – das wirft Fragen zu smarten Lautsprechern auf
Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs has discovered a leak of credentials and private data in Air France's mobile application for Android. This mobile application is used by customers of Air France to handle their flight reservations, boarding passes and other information.
Ist Signal wirklich besser als Telegram? Sollte man gleich zu Threema wechseln? Wie sicher ist das Messenger-Flaggschiff WhatsApp, wo es doch zur "Datenkrake" Facebook gehört? Klar ist, beim Thema Sicherheit von Messenger-Apps herrscht oft große Verunsicherung bei Nutzern – nicht zuletzt aufgrund permanenter Meldungen über immer neue Schwachstellen bei den Apps, wie kürzlich bei WhatsApp. Die meisten nutzen ohnehin mehrere Messenger parallel: einerseits, weil sie nicht wissen, welcher der sicherste ist, andererseits, weil der Freundeskreis sich bereits auf bestimmte Apps festgelegt hat.
