So, by now you've heard about the various hacked and leaked photos of various celebrities, often in varying states of undress. You knew that legal action was going to follow, but... did anyone actually expect Google would be the initial target? Lawyer to the stars Marty Singer has sent a very angry, but legally shaky letter to Google, claiming the company is facing a $100 million (or more) lawsuit in failing to remove the photos.
The idea that EFF isn't credible on security issues is laugh out loud funny (and, indeed, despite attending a conference and being in a room full of people, I literally laughed out loud upon reading it). However, Blakely insists his IT people are sure the software's fine:
"We have had the key logger checked out with our IT people. They have run it on our computer system." He said. "There is no malware."
Reread that a few times. "We had the key logger checked out... there is no malware." Dude. A keylogger is malware.
Wow jennifer lawrence just made herself look like a spoiled brat. When she says stuff like "i cant beleive the kind of world we live in" it makes me think she never had anything hard happen to in her whole life. Shes acting like someone raped her children.
"The Snappening," a wordplay on the recent celebrity hacking scandal, hit Reddit, 4chan and other sites over the weekend with private images allegedly taken from Snapchat. The messaging app has been popular for allowing people to share pictures ("snaps") and videos that are deleted 10 seconds or less after being viewed, but some users are finding the deletion wasn't permanent.
The much larger collection of "Snappening" photos also likely includes a large amount of child pornography, as Snapchat says half of its users are between the ages of 13 and 17.
An especially sneaky type of hack is on the rise. Hackers can infect your computer by piggybacking on Web ads -- even on trusted websites.
A major concern now is that hackers are getting smarter at launching attacks that slip past security scanners -- and are customized to specifically attack you.
