The Cupertino tech has decided to change its approach in response to the European Union’s Digital Markets Act that came into effect on November 1, 2022, which compels the so-called “digital gatekeepers,” such as Apple, to allow alternative app stores on its platform to offer more choice to iOS users. For those unaware, Apple is against the practice of installing third-party app stores and sideloading apps from outside the App Store on iOS devices....

Apple has listed the top 25 iOS apps built using the counterfeit version of Xcode that was capable of injecting malware in apps before they were submitted to the App Store. Apple a few days ago pulled apps that still had the XcodeGhost code in them, telling Reuters that it’s working with developers on the matter. Apple is also blocking apps made with the XcodeGhost tool that injects the malware....

The new feature dubbed “Lockdown Mode” is designed to offer an extreme, optional level of security for the very small number of users who face grave, targeted threats to their digital security because of who they are or what they do.

Log files are a lot more manageable during an application’s development than they are after development, and if you’ve ever worked on an app that’s been launched, you understand this. There are a few reasons. After development, more users predicate an increase in data, which requires you to obtain access. That data is spread across more than one server, and a single operation has the propensity to transcend multiple boundaries of service, meaning additional logs to parse through for a bug....

Yet, it’s inevitable. The issues of keeping sensitive information in remote infrastructures go beyond our personal cloud storage solutions. Vendors that offer services online used by many people and social media companies use scalable and cost-effective cloud computing technology to run their businesses. Those are the same organizations to which we trust our information. The latest WhatsApp and Twitter data breaches compromised the sensitive information of millions of users. They’re yet another reminder of how any gaps in security can compromise the data we give to enterprises....

“The full moon of November 14 is not only the closest full moon of 2016, but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century,” says NASA. “The full moon won’t come this close to Earth again until 25 November 2034.” Referred to as a “supermoon” or more technically, a perigee moon, the moon will be full and closer to Earth than the average full moon. When these occur together, the moon appears to be up to 14% bigger and up to 30% brighter as compared to its farthest point from earth....

For such occasions and more, EMP is your best friend. What is EMP? If you watched movies like Matrix, you will know that Neo and his gang used EMP to stave off intelligent machines....

For those unfamiliar, Chinese scientists in February this year had made a nuclear reactor plasma that reached a temperature of 50 million Kelvins (or, 49.999 million degrees Celsius) – or thrice as hot as the sun’s 15 million Kelvins core. The entire experiment was conducted using the nuclear reactor known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) – an experimental thermonuclear fusion reactor that replicates the energy-generating process of the sun – which is stationed at the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Jiangsu province....

This group seems to be carrying out hacking activities as per the political interests of its nation’s government. Mr Alperovitch said he could not name the media organisations targeted because of confidentiality reasons....

In reaction to the NSA’s interception campaign Cisco will ship to fake identities for its most sensitive customers, in the hope that the NSA’s interceptions are targeted and exposed. Cisco has been pro-active and has inspected their routers for possible embedded spy chips, but to date has not found anything because it necessarily does not know precisely what NSA taps may look like. According to security chief John Stewart of Cisco Borg boss John Chambers of Cisco wrote a letter to US President Barack Obama saying the spying would undermine the global tech industry....

A Delaware federal jury on Wednesday ruled that Apple had infringed a patent, owned by Maryland-based MobileMedia Ideas LLC, for ring-silencing technology on mobile phones. Apple apparently infringed MobileMedia’s Patent No. RE 39,231, which is related to ring-silencing features on mobile phones. In 1994, Sony patented a method for users to control incoming calls on a mobile phone, whereby an alert sound would be either stopped, or the sound would reduce after the initial loud alert during certain user actions or as a result of user operations with the phone....

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and Earth and casts the darkest part of its shadow, known as its umbra, on Earth. The darkest part of a total solar eclipse is almost as dark as night. Most of the world usually only encounters a partial solar eclipse, depending on when and where the eclipse takes place. For example, a total solar eclipse will actually take place on March 9, 2016....
