<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Asus has included another power performer in its ROG series. The Asus ROG G752 has Intel’s latest generation Skylake processors and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980M GPU.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Asus is determined to build cutting edge laptops for the vast gaming community. After it launched the world’s first water cooled gaming laptop GX700 at IFA 2015 in Berlin last month, Asus has now brought its giant Republic of Gamers series successor of ROG G751.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The ROG 752 as claimed by Asus will run every game you have or ‘will have’. Combined with the power of Intel’s most powerful Skylake processors and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980M GPU, the claim holds weight. The laptop has a 17.3 inch, full HD 1080p with 1920×1080 resolution and an LED-backlit IPS panel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are several configurations of Asus ROG G752, but all boast of a phenomenal power and high-end gaming experience. The models also offer variety in storage space as well, from 1TB HD to up to 512GB NVme M.2 SSD.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A strong engine always requires an equally efficient cooling system. For that purpose, the Asus ROG 752 utilizes a ‘3D Vapor Chamber’ besides a copper heat pipe. The laptop features huge vents for the hot air expulsion, just like G751.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Asus ROG G752 comes in a fiery look with the Armor Titanium and Plasma Copper color. Asus has held its image in the gaming laptops industry with a blend of power and performance. The latest G752 are expected to the raise the bar higher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Asus ROG G752VL-DH71 and ROG G752VT-DH72 are up for pre-order for $1,499 and $1,799 respectively. For more information visit <a href="http://store.asus.com/">store.asus.com</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>To make your favorite social network more secure, Facebook is now sending out notifications to the compromised accounts.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Did you recently suspect some suspicious activity on your Facebook account? Well, many of you would be aware of the fact that Facebook snooping using phishing scams is on the rise these days. Along the similar lines, the state-targeted attacks are on the rise on the world’s largest social network.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, to keep its users safe, Facebook has <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/notifications-for-targeted-attacks/10153092994615766" target="_blank">announced </a>that it will soon start to send banner notifications to the people whose accounts show hints of being compromised by your government or someone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“The security of people’s accounts is paramount at Facebook, which is why we constantly monitor for potentially malicious activity and offer many options to proactively secure your account,” Facebook writes in an official blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Starting from today, if Facebook believes that your social media account is being targetted or compromised by an attacker working for a state, it will show the following message on your desktop:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With this step, Facebook is taking the user security more seriously. Facebook security chief Alex Stamos describes the state-sponsored attacks as more advanced and dangerous than others.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Along with the warning message, Facebook suggests to activate the two-step authentication methods.

Your Password Manager 1Password Leaks Your Account’s Important Metadata

Shivam Patsariya 0 AppsnSoftSecure 12:19 PM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><img alt="1Password-leaks-user-metadata" height="267" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/1Password-leaks-user-metadata.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>1Password, a password manager feature has been found to leak traces of the user account’s metadata which could be exploited by the attackers. However, only the older accounts using Agile Keychain format are vulnerable. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Storing all your passwords and sensitive information in a single vault appears to be a good option, but what if the vault itself is broken? 1Password is one such kind of a safety vault built by AgileBits Inc. This virtual vault is locked with a Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2) master password.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1Password is assumed to be the best in business, but Dale Myers, a Microsoft engineer has exposed a small flaw in the system’s data safety management in his blog. The accounts managed by 1Password that use the older Agile Keychain format, might not be secured enough as stated by Myers in his <a href="http://myers.io/2015/10/22/1password-leaks-your-data/" target="_blank">blog</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The password files are stored by 1Password in the HTML files which are synchronized through Dropbox or iCloud. However, only the password data is encrypted not the user account’s metadata.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This exploit in the safety system of 1Password leads to a leakage of your metadata. Myers found that 1PasswordAnywhere, the password manager feature exposes the account names and website login URLs to the attacker who has the HTML file’s Dropbox or the URL location.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This flaw is only exposed in the accounts that use 1Password’s older encryption technique of Agile Keychain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Metadata seems to be harmless, but it can reveal a lot about your online habits and give hints to the attacker or surveillance agencies. Also, a situation might arise when you are on a ‘reset password page’ and at the same moment the attacker gets hands on the user’s password and URL combination. In such a situation, the attacker would be able to change the passwords of your accounts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1Password spoke on the issue and assured Myers that this leakage was on purpose to avoid performance issues for the password manager’s users. Also, it is the company’s way to encourage its users to shift from Agile Keychain to the new and better-secured OPVault format.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Why ISIS is Trying Hard to Hack America’s Energy Grid – and Failing Terribly

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>According to the latest revelations made by the American law enforcement agencies, ISIS terrorists are failing hard at hacking the America energy grid. They are launching repetitive failed attacks on the network with their poor hacking skills.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Islamic State, or the ISIS, is trying hard to hack the American electrical power companies’ networks, according to the U.S. law enforcement officials. They have revealed these regular hack attempts on Wednesday at the American energy firms’ conference.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“ISIL is beginning to perpetrate cyber attacks”, said Caitlin Durkovich, assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at the Department of Homeland Security during the process of outlining the national security concerns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">ISIS terrorists are trying hard to shut down the US towns and businesses by hacking the electrical grids. The reason behind their repetitive failure lies in their poor hacking skills. But, the FBI warns that ISIS can easily overcome this issue by buying the tools needed to perform the attack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Strong intent. Thankfully, low capability,” said John Riggi, a section chief at the FBI’s cyber division. “But the concern is that they’ll buy that capability.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, FBI hasn’t released any kind of red alert as even if the ISIS terrorists manage to crack the codes and infiltrate the power grids, they would be just able to effects a city block or small town.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Currently, the American power grid is a chaotic patchwork of grids, each with different machines and software. Surprisingly, this jumbled network works to the nation’s advantage, according to company executives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, for now, the FBI and other agencies are watching over the American cyberspace more carefully as a more powerful attack could be just around the corner to cause a widespread damage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“We’ve had pretty good success actually,” Riggi said. “Since the FBI is an intelligence agency, we rely on the help of CIA and NSA. We compare information with the NSA.”</span></div>

Amazon Sues 1,114 Fake Product Reviewers on Fiverr

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In an attempt to curb the mischief of thousands of fake product reviewers, Amazon has filed a lawsuit against 1,114 people who gave sham reviews about one of the largest online retailer on Fiverr. Amazon is now getting strict on these false experts who would write anything for a price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In a similar incident in April this year, Amazon sued a few product-review website operators for spreading the false scam against the company. In the Fiverr case, Amazon has filed a lawsuit against the people through their usernames and is pursuing Fiverr for their actual account information.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Amazon and many other retailers including app stores have been continuously struggling against the false reviews at the gig sites and any attempt to curtail such had been futile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fiverr is an inexpensive online marketplace where small tasks and services like editing, translation and reviews are offered by users for just $5. Since Fiverr has co-operated with Amazon on similar cases in the past, they have not been targeted in te lawsuit, but warned against its lenient and unregulated admissive policies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a by far the biggest attempt by any company to nab down the fake-review offenders. However, Fiverr is not the only gig website that offer such platforms and the problem for the big companies is only escalating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just a few negative reviews are enough to tarnish a brand’s image in the customer’s eyes, so the offense of fake reviews is now being taken seriously by all the companies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What if you get a chance to watch live the efforts made by novelists like R. R. Martin and J. K. Rowling. Their mistakes, typos, rewrites all in real time. No, I’m not saying that I’ll arrange a meeting for you when they’ll be busy finishing their next writing, but yes, you can view some other novelists completing their work in real time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Few days ago, an experiment by novelist Joshua Cohen, allowed you to live stream the writing of his new novel “<a href="http://www.pckwck.com/" target="_blank">PCKWCK</a>”, an adaptation of “The Pickwick Papers” by Charles Dickens. The experiment ended on Friday, this week, and he got a lot of hearts on his article.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The interface of the website looked like a Google Docs web page, and the most compelling part was, users could comment and criticize him if they didn’t like his writing or had a suggestion for him, all anonymously in the chat section (see our comment in the screenshot :P).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Seriously, expressing your thoughts in front of so many people is a daring task, at least for me as a writer, and Cohen has done a commendable job. It is difficult to share your personal space with other people, like one has opened up his mind and his thoughts are on an exhibition for so many visitors. It is fascinating, or weird – or I don’t have words to describe my feelings if I was to perform an experiment like this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is an astonishing experience to write and receive the reader’s feedback right there. It’s like you are about to jump out of a plane, and you do not know whether your parachute will work or not, the thrill and fear before the jump only makes it mesmerizing. It will be nice to see if other writers join Cohen’s experiment.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>“He might also be remembered for his negative personality”, says Steve Wozniak in the video “Woz On Jobs”. The clip includes snippets from the movie and featuring Steve Wozniak.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Steve Jobs, a man who was always praised for what he made out of a company which rules on the list of world’s most valuable companies. People stand for days outside the apple stores just to be the first buyers of the magnificent iPhone. They don’t know why they like it, but they just do, and it is the “One last thing” Steve wanted from his customers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Apart from Jobs, there is another unsung hero who has contributed to the success of Apple. Steve Wozniak, always been away from the limelight, although Apple wasn’t possible without his engineering skills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Woz still remembers those before Apple days with Jobs, calls him “Steve Jobs Zero”, for what he was a completely different person. He recollects memories of all those pranks, their initial efforts for making Apple into existence and much more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>"He might also be remembered for his negative personality. I think that’s going to go with his legacy forever. But he led the world in the future and everybody else then would follow once they saw it."</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Woz said in the video, and he has been quite busy regarding the promotion of the new flick on Jobs. The movie focuses on what most of us don’t know or I must say don’t want to know, the dark side of Steve Jobs, what was he as a person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Jobs wasn’t well-versed with engineering skills but he had the audacity to do things without a second thought. What we call, he had the ability to package his product in such a way that it looked so compelling, people couldn’t wait to get their hands-on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although, numerous movies have been done on Jobs, but this one change the way we admire him as a person. Steve Jobs, the movie is all set for a worldwide release on October 23, 2015, with Michael Fassbender as Jobs and Seth Rogen as Woz.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>A Polish entrepreneur Zdzisław Hoffmann has created a Rage Room where people can break anything to release stress.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Rage room – admit it, you need this in your life more than anything. The ever increasing pressure of work, and its imbalance with your personal life, demands a secret place where you can vent all the anger.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Along the similar lines, in the Lodz town of Poland, a new “Rage Room” has opened, where you can pay to break household gadgets and items like computer monitors, TV sets, glass cups and more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">All you have to do is pay 35 euros- and you can spend half an hour in the rage room with your choice of weapon. What do you like- Baseball bat? Crow bar? – worry not, they’ve got it all covered.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">All the items that you’ll be breaking here are obtained from the free online recycling websites. Entrepreneur Zdzisław Hoffmann is the owner of this rage room. “It is perfect for everyone. I would say it is better for calm people who just want to come here, get wild and destroy something, what is usually forbidden,” he says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hoffmann tells that he came across this business idea by accident and he was always fascinated how people can throw their TV out of the window from 11th floor after a lost soccer match.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inside the room, customers need to wear a helmet and they are all set to smash TV sets, mirrors, glass and whatnot.</span></div>
