WiFi mouse leave billions at risk of computer hack: cyber security firm

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Technology Balint Seeber and Marc Newlin are checking how far apart they can be while still have the ability to hack into one another’s computers. It turns out its not a small distance -it’s 180 meters (around 197 yards) – the length of approximately one and a half American football fields. The pair work for Bastille , a startup cyber security firm that has uncovered a vulnerability they say leaves millions of networks and billions of computers susceptible to attack. They are calling it Mousejack . Unlike Keyboards, wireless mice from corporations like HP, Lenovo, Amazon, Dell and others use unencrypted signals to communicate with computers. “They have not encrypted the mouse signals, that makes it possible for the attacker to send unencrypted signals to the WiFi dongle pretending to be a keyboard and have it result as keystrokes in your pc. This could be the same as if the attacker was sitting at your pc typing on the computer,” stated the security researcher,

http://ift.tt/1pZ8poA Technology (for details of the giveaway, please see the end of the article) Let’s be honest. Most of our lives are online these days. All our memories are stored on some kind of digital device in the format of images. Our most important documents like financial statements are stored as excel spreadsheets and word documents. Even our entertainment is digital with movies and music stored anywhere from your laptop and computer to your phone. But what do you do if you want to change computers, or you get new operating software and it doesn’t fit on your current hard drive? What happens when a virus comes and removes all your precious memories, or deletes all your important documents? What if you drop your phone and all your precious data on it “seems”irretrievable? Luckily EaseUS has a broad range of products that will suit your needs exactly, whether it’s changing computers, recovering lost data from your phone or laptop, partitioning devices to make space for Wi

Quantum Technologies From the latest smartphones to advances in quantum computing, the hardware behind today's digital age is rapidly changing. When pitching, the key is to offer reporting that is original; has a clear online audience; involves media elements that will engage readers on Apple News, Twitter, Facebook and other channels; and has a clear reason to exist online first, rather than in the magazine. We want great video, pictures, quotes and stories about issues that are starting conversations across the web. On Monday to Thursday prior to the recession, the supplements carried substantial quantities of recruitment advertising as well as editorial on their specialised topics. However, this has diminished since the onset of recession, to the point that the supplements have been seriously contracted or no longer appear as independent sections. The formerly sixty-page-thick Society supplement (Wednesday) is now no more and has been absorbed into the main part of the pape

Once again, a billion plus android devices vulnerable

http://ift.tt/1Rq7Fim Technology   Once again , more than a billion Android gadgets are vulnerable to a security hole in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip that may very well be exploited by any malicious hacker to gain full access on the machine. Trend Micro’s security experts have  warned  Android users of some severe programming shortcomings in Qualcomm’s kernel-level Snapdragon code that if exploited, can be utilized by attackers for gaining root access, and hence full control of your phone or gadget. Gaining root permissions on a system is a matter of concern, because it grants attackers entry to administrator stage capabilities, permitting them to do almost anything with your device against your will, like accessing your pictures or even taking new ones without your knowledge, or snooping into your private data including emails, accounts’ passwords, emails, messages and files. Qualcomm’s own web site states that their Snapdragon SoCs (techniques on a chip) are used on greater than
