He was found guilty in the hacking case against L.A.Times and Tribune Co.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>SP's: </b>Matthew Keys, a former Reuters employee was convicted of conspiring with Anonymous hackers to attack L.A. Times and Tribune.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is more like a reel life revenge story that came into the real life. Matthew Keys was a Reuters employee and had worked for the Tribune Media company at KTXL Fox 40 and a producer for the Sacremento TV station until he was fired, back in 2010.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Out of spite as FBI maintains, Keys got in contact with one of the most active hacking division of the Anonymous group, the LulzSec. He contacted them with the username AESCracked through the IRC channel under #internetfeds and conspired to hack LA Times and Tribune.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keys allegedly gave them his company’s (former) passwords, which the hackers used to break into the Tribune Media CMS and changed the heading of the LA Times article for tax cuts to “Pressure builds in House to elect CHIPPY 1337.”  However, the violation was immediately curbed by the security engineers at the company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Matthew Keys was held accountable of hacking on three separate charges of  conspiracy, computer hacking, and password trafficking after charge sheet was filed and an official investigation started by confiscating his laptop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr Keys had reportedly confessed to the crime in a recorded interview which he later refused, citing that he was on prescription drugs and not in sound mind. His lawyers are backing the same stance as well. Keys has updated his hacking adventure in the blog post for Reuters in 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nonetheless, Keys has been found guilty by the court on October 7, 2015 – and will be sentenced on January 20 next year. As per the law, he could be facing 25 years in prison.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The case has turned into a big blame game where everyone is alleging the other to be a conspirator!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="kemoge1-world" height="393" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/kemoge1-world.jpg" width="640" /><b>SP's: </b>A new malicious adware is here to make your lives harder. Kemoge adware has the ability to do some serious damage to your precious smartphone by rooting it and then flooding it with tons of ads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is no dearth of malware that are designed to serve unwanted ads in your mobile phone and steal your user information. Some of them just stick to severing tons of ads and don’t cause any harm. The security firm <a href="https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/10/kemoge_another_mobi.html">FireEye </a>has reported a malware that belongs to the other class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The malicious adware, dubbed Kemoge, can do some serious damage to your Android phones. Apart from serving the intrusive ads, Kemoge has the ability to root your devices and make them more vulnerable to attacks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just like every other malware and adware, Kemoge spreads by hiding itself under the hood of some popular app. Then via the route of 3rd-party app stores, it reaches the smartphones of users and starts causing the harm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that if you are downloading the apps from stores other than Google Play store, you need to be extra careful as they don’t employ the security steps taken by Google.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here’s a flowchart that shows how Kemoge adware works and its lifecycle. In the first step, using third party apps app stores and web/ad promoted installation, the malicious adware gets installed on phones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the second step, the adware collects local info collection for aggressive ad serving and then roots the device. After opening the back door for exploits, the adware can remotely control the app, allowing app installations, uninstall and launching any app.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Kemoge adware is infecting the smartphones over 20 countries and it’s possible that it originated from China.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The users are advised users not to install apps from 3rd-party sites. You should also keep your phones up to date to close these known root exploits.</span></div>

Fake Apple Stores In China, Even Employees Don’t Know the Reality

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is so little in this world that that can’t be copied!! And to convince millions of people that the stuff is real, is a con at a whole another level.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apple, or more say the Chinese people are currently struggling against this menace of duplicity where not the iPhones or Macbooks are xeroxed, but, wait for it, the whole Apple Store is cloned. What’s even more surprising is the fact that even the employees at those fake Apple stores do not know that they are fake!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apple recently announced that they have a cash reserve of more than $200 billion in their MoneyBin thanks to iPhone craze in China. Some people have taken quite an advantage of the trend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apple has just one official store and five authorized dealers in Shenzhen, China, but you can find more than “30 Apple Stores” in the city. Enter any one of them, and you won’t be able to spot a difference. The whole infrastructure, from tables to spiral stairs is remarkably copied.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And if you happened to be in one such store and are now worried about the iPhone you bought, then take a deep breath and thank your stars because the Apple products are real (well, in most of the stores.)</span></div>

If you haven’t enabled the 2-step verification for your password protection yet, then it is time you go for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When Google itself recommends methods to stay safe online, then it is time you understand the gravity of the situation and adopt some security measures. As most of the news feed nowadays is filled with cyber attacks and security breaches rendering the connected users helpless, each and every effort to safeguard yourself counts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two-factor authentication is one of the methods to strengthen your online security. It provides an additional layer to your standard password protection system using a second electronic device. Mostly, it utilizes your phone number for verification and gives alerts whenever your account is being accessed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Almost all the services like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, PayPal, Twitter, Snapchat, Microsoft, LastPass offer two-factor authentication. So, all you have to do is just go to the website that you have your account on and enable the two-factor authentication protection system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is how to enable two-factor authentication for various services.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication For Google?</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Simply type Google two-step verification on Google search and go to the www.google.com/landing/2step and scroll down to Get Started. Follow the prompts.</span><img alt="Google-2-step-varification" height="350" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Google-2-step-varification.png" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Confirm your phone number and choose how would you like to receive the verification code.</span><img alt="Google-2-step-varification-step-1" height="363" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Google-2-step-varification-step-1.png" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. The next question that Google will ask you is to confirm that your current machine is a trusted system like your home desktop, so it won’t ask you for 2 step verification whenever you are on that system. Else, you will get the alerts.</span><img alt="Google-2-step-varification-step-3" height="284" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Google-2-step-varification-step-3.png" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After you have confirmed for the 2-step-authentication, Google will send you additional protection features.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Verification Codes for any Back-Up options</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">App-specific passwords for your specific apps and devices.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Backup Codes</span></li>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication For Facebook?</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sign-in to your Facebook account and go to the Settings option.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Choose Security on the left column and click Edit on the Login Approvals. </span><img alt="facebook-two-factor authentication" height="233" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/facebook-twofactor-authentication1.jpg" width="640" /></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Select “Require a security code to access my account from unknown browsers.”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">An information window will open that explains how the login approvals and two-factor authentication works. Follow the commands and activate the protection system by submitting your phone number.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After editing the security options, you will get a confirmation code to your mobile number each time anyone (including you) tries to access your account.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, enable two-factor authentication for the services you use and stay ‘safer’.</span></div>

Google Just Bought abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hurt by the fact that Google wasn’t able to snatch Alphabet.com from BMW, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided to grab the entire English language alphabet in the form of a web URL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The desire to grab the perfect domain name inspired the tech company to buy abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After the announcement that Google is launching its new parent company Alphabet with URL abc.xyz, the .xyz domain names became a hot commodity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This new 26-letter URL was recently spotted online and it shows that it’s registered under Google. The URL was created long back in 1999 and was privately owned before Google decided to buy it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I performed a quick check to grab the full alphabet in other extensions and they were already registered (sad face).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“We realized we missed a few letters in abc.xyz, so we’re just being thorough,” a Google spokesperson told Business Insider in an emailed statement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you check abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com, it leads to an inactive website. I hope that in near future, Google will love to host some Easter egg on the website or redirect it to the abc.xyz.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
