Not stopping there, things are even more dangerous when two other vulnerabilities can be exploited by hackers to manipulate arbitrary files with higher permissions. What makes these even scarier is that they can be exploited without any user interaction. Samsung is aware of these security flaws and it may take the company about 2 months to fix. For now, the best defense is to make sure your Samsung phone is up to date with the latest firmware. Toshin said he has found more than a dozen vulnerabilities in Samsung devices since the start of the year, with many of these vulnerabilities already fixed. One of the bugs lies in apps and components like the Secure Folder app and the Knox security software that come pre-installed on Samsung devices. Tohsin told TechCrunch that these may have given attackers access to sensitive user data. Among +Samsung devices, the Galaxy S10+ is verified as affected. Another vulnerability resulted in the deletion of all previously downloaded apps once device admin rights were granted to a newly installed app. Additionally, a vulnerability in the Settings app could grant read/write access to files with system user-level privileges. A security flaw that was resolved in February could have given hackers access to users’ SMS/MMS messages and call details. Toshin also warned Samsung about issues that may have helped bad guys get the SD card content. While Samsung says the vulnerability affects “certain” Galaxy devices, the company appears to be downplaying the scope of the incident. “No issues have been reported globally and users should rest assured that their sensitive information is not at risk. We have addressed the potential vulnerability by developing and releasing security patches through a software update in April and May 2021 as soon as we identify the issue.” Korean company stated.

The area of ​​​​the villa is more than 6,100 square meters, almost the size of a football field, located on the shores of Lake Washington. According to The New York Times, the villa includes a spa room, an 18-meter swimming pool, a gym that is paved with stones from the Pacific Northwest mountains, a trout stream and other fish species. The mansion is commonly known as Xanadu 2.0. In particular, Xanadu is the name of a large, lavish property belonging to the tycoon in the movie Citizen Kane. The suffix 2.0 refers to the technology initiatives of Bill Gates. Details of Mr. Gates’ mansion remain confidential. Photo: Wikipedia According to TechCrunch, details about the mansion are kept secret by the Gates family. A tour of the area was auctioned for $35,000 in 2009. A Microsoft Corporation intern is allowed to write about the visit to the mansion on the company blog. According to him, it was built with “orange wood” and sand imported from Hawaii. “Walking down Bill’s driveway was like going to Jurassic Park. The view was overwhelming,” the person described. The villa, designed by architects James Cutler and Peter Bohlin, is divided into terraced areas into “a hill” 50 meters long. Melinda Gates, Bill Gates’ ex-wife, once said that the mansion caused her “crisis” and was “a nightmare for a bride”. It has “all kinds of software and high-tech screens to make it feel like living in a video game”. Mr. Gates built his dream home before marrying Ms. Melinda in 1994. But construction was halted when she visited. Gates once mentioned the idea of ​​a smart home, where guests would be given a badge to be able to communicate with sensors around the mansion. As they walk through the rooms, the lights will dim or light up, music will play, the temperature will automatically adjust to their preferences, and the walls will become displays of digitized artwork. It is not clear if these ideas were included in Xanadu 2.0. According to Forbes, Gates and Melinda are worth an estimated $124 billion. They announced their separation in a joint statement posted on their personal social networking site on May 3. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (2 are co-chairs), said that the organizational structure will not change. Meanwhile, the fate of the Xanadu 2.0 villa is still open.

Google has partnered with Western Union and Wise to enable this feature. According to Josh Woodward, Director of Product Management at Google, the company is starting to launch cross-border payments with Singapore and India, with the goal of expanding globally by the end of the year. “As we’ve done with some Google products, we’ll test, learn, iterate, and scale,” he said. Under the agreement, Western Union handles cross-border payments on Google in more than 200 countries, while Wise supports more than 80 countries. When Google Pay users in the US want to send money to someone in India and Singapore, they’ll be notified of the exact amount the recipient received. Inside the app, users can choose a provider – Wise or Western Union – and the time it takes for the money to reach the recipient. Currently, the Google Pay money transfer feature only allows US users to send money to users in India and Singapore, but not vice versa. In addition, the feature is also new to individual money transfers. Mr. Woodward shared that they chose India and Singapore first because of their importance in the remittance market. According to the World Bank, India was the largest recipient of money in the world in 2019 with more than 80 billion USD. Meanwhile, the US is the largest depositor. Du Lam (According to TechCrunch)
