Faceyspaces, Twitter. Again.
Two third-party SDKs used by hundreds of thousands of #Android apps have been caught holding unauthorized access to users' personal data associated with their connected social media accounts. SHOCK - Faceyspaces and Twitter affected.
Not that this will affect a single login, but we Security Folk, who go running round in circles, waving our hands over our heads, have to make note of it. Just wait til those video Faceyspaces interfaces hit homes. They will watch every facet of your life, including your sleep. Orwell was half right: Big Brother, yes - only it's not the government - it's Faceyspaces/Google/Amazon/Twitter.
Hot on the ransomware hit parade is DeathRansom.
Yeah, it didn't really encrypt your files at first, but it's back and does encrypt your files.
VCPI, an IT company, was hit with ransomware, preventing access to crucial patient records. I think they call this irony.
How to mount your iDevice as an external drive in Ubuntu

Pinebooks are comin'
There are many pros and cons, if you read the reviews, but for $199, you get a functional laptop. The second batch went out to customers and they are naturally posting unboxing videos, because if you don't post video of you physically opening a box, you never got the box or what was supposed to be inside it.
At the price, it's almost a throwaway. I'm tempted, especially because you can't get a tablet for that little. I urge you to read the reviews, forum, and all of the specs before you say or do anything. Understand that this is a 64 bit ARM processor. There's also a linux-only open source hardware phone, to be available for pre-order. It's compatible with all major linux phone project software. In other words, buy the phone, install your favorite OS. I'm watching this project carefully.
So do you, for some strange reason, have an iDevice and run MS Office?
Be careful because it turns out that when you disable the macros, they aren't disabled. Aside from that, I'm sure Office is every bit as lovely as it is on Windows systems.
Popular period tracking apps share your sexual health data with Faceyspaces. Read about how this came to be and what, if anything, is being done about it.
Told you so.
The CEO of Foursquare has called on Congress to regulate the location data industry. Next week, oil companies are going to call on Congress to regulate them too. My question is whether the gentleman has already made the adjustments he asks for to his own company (the article doesn't say).
My suggestion: run your company the way you ask and encourage other companies to also. Because you don't need tech-illiterate, overreaching blowhards to legislate things for you. In fact, it's in your best interests to self-regulate, because you have no idea what will happen when the tech-illiterates 'help' you with regulation. Unless they're already in your pocket.
Happy weekend.
