Digital consumer protection Vulnerabilities in health apps

As of: 16.06.2021 1:53 p.m.

In the corona pandemic, health apps have gained many users. For some, however, there is a lack of data protection. This was the result of a study by the Federal Office for Information Security. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) found numerous security gaps in an investigation of health apps. According to a BSI report, six out of seven thoroughly tested apps transmitted passwords in clear text to authentication services. None of the apps fully met the security requirements of the BSI guidelines for health apps. The BSI did not provide the names of the apps examined.

Personal data is not adequately protected

“From the point of view of technical IT security, this result must at least be rated as critical, especially in view of the fact that a significant proportion of the apps process sensitive and particularly sensitive data”, criticized the office for taking care of the data security of the federal government. “Because, according to the findings of the study, this does not adequately protect user data against attacks.” The BSI checked the health apps as part of the first report on digital consumer protection 2020, which, due to the corona pandemic, focused on digital health offers.

damage “first of all manageable”

The BSI expert Nicolas Stöcker described the danger for users of the criticized apps when exploiting the identified loopholes as “first of all manageable”. If an attack took place, it would initially only affect a single person. “It would be worse if the backend, where the data is kept, were also insecure.” The authority has a corresponding further investigation for the future “on the screen”, says Stocker. However, BSI President Arne Schönbohm warned that the deficiencies found were also dangerous: “Every gap that is there, every weak point that is there has somehow been exploited at some point.” They are currently working with the app providers to close the gaps. “If we see that this is not fixed, then we reserve the right to issue a corresponding product warning”said Schönbohm.

The new Google Workspace service will reach more than 3 billion users. Photo: Google Google Workspace is essentially a new version of the previous G-Suite, it will be available to everyone including those using a free Google account. This change will enable deeper collaboration between users using services such as gmail, calendar, drive, documents, sheets, slides, meetings or chat. Not all, but many users will soon get Google’s modern look and feel for services. All of them can be integrated in one tab to help users more convenient in operations. Google will separate the workspace into a top-level form of communication alongside Gmail, chat, and meetups. Google is focusing on some new features such as improved message flow, more emojis, user roles, moderation tools. Google WorkSpace allows users to carry their own encryption keys instead of managing the user’s own code. Photo: Google Users will receive many interface changes. The left sidebar will look like the bottom bar of Gmail on iOS and Android today. The right side will continue to provide various shortcuts for other features like Calendar, Tasks, and Keep. On the security front, Google announced a partnership with providers Flowcrypt, Futurex, Thales, and Virtru to allow users to carry their own encryption keys instead of managing their own. Vice President and GM, Google Workspace, Javier Soltero, said Googe’s focus is on giving consumer workers, teachers and students an equitable approach to collaboration, while still providing flexibility. Enables small groups of different users to take their own approach to communication and collaboration. Sure, Google will charge for its new service, but it’s unclear how much users will pay. With the new interface, users will have access to premium features, including smart booking services, professional video meetings and personalized email marketing. Some markets will be available in the near future and implemented by Google such as: US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Brazil and Japan.

Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers today with more than 2 billion users. Photo: EarnGurus Recently, a security researcher from the Project Zero team discovered a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2021-30551) in Google Chrome, affecting many users. Not much is known about this vulnerability, instead, it is only briefly described: “Confusion in V8”. This is a JavaScript engine, used quite commonly on Google Chrome and browsers using Chromium source code (including Microsoft Edge). In a blog post, Google confirmed that the CVE-2021-30551 vulnerability exists in the wild. To limit future attacks, Google Chrome users should update their browser immediately by going to Settings – Help – About Google Chrome (about Google Chrome). When the update to version 91.0.4472.101 is complete, simply press Relaunch to restart the browser. Update Google Chrome browser to the latest version. Photo: Tieu MINH This is the sixth zero day vulnerability found on Google Chrome since the beginning of the year. The latest version of the browser also contains a total of 10 security patches, seven of which are listed as High threat and one is described as Critical. Sharing with BleepingComputer, Kaspersky warned that a new group of hackers calling themselves PuzzleMaker successfully hacked both Chrome and Windows this month, prompting Microsoft to issue an urgent upgrade notice for Windows users. In addition, Kaspersky also recommends that users update their browser and operating system to the latest version to limit future attacks.

Responding to criticism WhatsApp plans one-time messages

Status: 14.06.2021 11:19 a.m.

The WhatsApp chat service is responding to the growing criticism of its market power. The fears of many users are to be allayed with new functions for the protection of privacy. The WhatsApp chat service wants to stick to the complete encryption and is promising new functions to protect privacy. The company, which belongs to the US group Facebook, is launching an advertising campaign on data protection in Germany and Great Britain today. The countries are among their most important markets. Management’s ideas include the ability to send messages that the recipient can only view once. That could be useful, for example, if you have to send family members a password, said WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart.

Users also want to be able to set that chats disappear on their own after a certain period of time. “Overall, people don’t want their messages to last forever,” said Cathcart. “When we talk, we don’t have a recording device with us. So it’s strange that digital chat platforms save them forever.” The short promotional videos say that content sent on WhatsApp is basically only visible in clear text to the users involved thanks to the so-called end-to-end encryption.

Privacy activists alerted

WhatsApp has recently come under pressure for various reasons: On the one hand, the Announcement of the new usage rules caused criticism. Data protectionists warned that WhatsApp could increase data exchange with third-party companies and, above all, that data would also be shared with the parent company Facebook. WhatsApp rejected this and emphasized several times that the end-to-end encryption, with which the service itself does not have access to content, will not be weakened. WhatsApp boss Cathcart admitted errors in the announcement of the new rules. WhatsApp has not made it clear enough what you are doing and why: “We only became clearer when we saw the confusion. That is our responsibility,” said Cathcart.

More than two billion users

In view of the criticism, many people have apparently looked around for alternatives to the chat service. The company currently has more than two billion users. It is not known how many actually migrated. A vast majority of users who have already been asked to agree to the new rules would have accepted them, said Cathcart. He did not give exact numbers. Originally, users who do not agree to the new rules should lose access to basic functions over time. Meanwhile they no longer face any consequences . Only the new functions for communication with companies will only be able to be used after approval of the update. According to WhatsApp, they were the main reason for changing the terms of use.

Attempt a charm offensive

The company’s move could have another reason: The parent company Facebook is currently not only under close observation in the USA . Last year, federal authorities and states filed lawsuits against the Internet giant Google and the online platform Facebook. They are accused of anti-competitive practices. The market power of the large technology groups is now seen as a problem by many governments around the world. Consumer advocates also warn: “The market power of the Facebook group forces users to communicate via WhatsApp,” says Lina Ehrig, the head of the digital and media team at the Federation of German Consumer Organizations. “From the consumer’s point of view, it would be ideal if messenger services are legally and technically designed in such a way that sustainable competition and the innovative strength of the market are promoted.” In order to promote competition, so-called interoperability would be a possible means from the point of view of consumer advocates: As a survey by the consumer advice center shows, around a third of users would be willing to switch messengers if messages could be shared between different providers.

Encryption dispute

For its part, Cathcart is targeting governments. They tried to soften the encryption in chat services. “I hope that, over time, governments will see that the most important role they can play is to keep people safe.” This could be done, for example, by setting standards for companies.

02/09/2020

WhatsApp argues with governments that end-to-end encryption helps protect the security of citizens. Facebook is still sticking to the plan to bring full encryption to its second chat service Messenger as the next step, said Cathcart. In several countries, governments and authorities are attempting the Complete encryption in chat services like WhatsApp . In Germany, too, there is a draft law with which the protection of the constitution is supposed to enable source telecommunications monitoring in encrypted chat services as well.

When devices with screens cast screens to each other to build a super terminal, when devices without screens call system resources on demand, this is Hongmeng’s revolutionary breakthrough in distributed soft bus, distributed calls, and distributed security. The good news for Huawei is constantly coming out!

1. Huawei Hongmeng HarmonyOS 2 has been officially released on June 2. In just one week, the number of HarmonyOS upgrade users has exceeded 10 million, and there are still a large number of users waiting for the upgrade. Of course, one of my own p30s has already applied for internal testing. , Just wait for the results to be announced on the 17th! We also noticed that the number of HarmonyOS users that Huawei expects this year has ranged from 200 million originally conservative by Xu Zhijun to 300 million by Wang Chenglu. Recently, Wang Chenglu has updated the expected number of users to 360 million. Now Huawei R&D engineers are working overtime, 3 shifts, many mobile phones to be upgraded next year have been scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year, and some have already begun internal testing!

   

2. HUAWEI CLOUD ranks first in the container software market in China. International Data Corporation (IDC) recently released a report “PRC SDC Market Overview and Analysis, 2020H2/2020”, which shows that HUAWEI CLOUD ranks among China’s container software with a market share of 24.3%. Market first.

3. Huawei Hongmeng formally reached a cooperation with Mercedes-Benz. Although it does not have much material significance, Mercedes-Benz, as a benchmark for the automotive industry, is Huawei’s pavement for Hongmeng’s next car deployment. At the same time, Turkey’s TOFAS Automobile Company uses Huawei’s computing, network and The storage integration program completed the database infrastructure transformation project and won the IDC “Annual Best Data Infrastructure Project” award. TOFAS is a joint venture of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and is the only company in Turkey that has made it to the Fortune Global 500 list. The project won the “Best Data Infrastructure Project of the Year” award at the Smart Manufacturing Summit hosted by IDC and became an industry benchmark.

1. Huawei’s largest cyber security transparency center was officially opened today in Dongguan, China. At the launching ceremony, Huawei released the “Huawei Product Security Baseline” white paper, which for the first time announced the product security requirements baseline framework and management practices to the industry, communicated with customers, suppliers, industry standards organizations and other stakeholders to jointly improve the overall industry network Safety level.

   

   Ren Zhengfei once said that as long as it can be the most advanced in the world, then we are the standard, and others will move closer to us!

With the gradual advancement of Huawei’s “renewal of hundreds of machines”, there will be more and more models and equipment adapted to the Hongmeng OS system in the future, and even a lot of honor enthusiasm can be upgraded to experience the Huawei Hongmeng OS system;

However, according to the well-known big V, Huawei Hongmeng OS system leader Wang Chenglu officially stated: “The installed capacity of the Hongmeng OS system this year is 360 million units, and the installed capacity of the Hongmeng OS system in the following year is 1.23 billion units.” At the same time this year. More than 1.2 million developers will join the Hongmeng OS system ecosystem, and the development goal for the next year is 10 million developers.

Regarding the development goals of Huawei Hongmeng OS system, it undoubtedly exposed Huawei’s ambitions. However, this “small goal” set by Huawei has once again been questioned by many netizens. Many people have questioned and said that Huawei brags, and even netizens mentioned it. By the time, if Huawei’s current equipment inventory is calculated at 120 million, it is estimated that only 50% of people will choose to upgrade Hongmeng. Can the final installed capacity of Huawei Hongmeng OS system reach 60 million?

In fact, the stock of Huawei’s mobile phone market is far more than 120 million. At the same time, the installed capacity has exceeded the 10 million mark in just one week. It can be seen that the upgrade rate of Huawei Hongmeng OS system is definitely far more than 50%. In a few days, the Honor 30 and v30 have been upset because of the Hongmeng schedules on the Q4 forum, and the Honor 20 and 30 series can apply for the closed beta in a few days. Various signs indicate that the installed capacity of the Huawei Hongmeng OS system can be assured;

Of course, Huawei has indeed done a lot of bullshit in the past, and now it has been realized by Huawei. This is not one or two things. Many things have been proved. After all, Huawei, as the strongest private technology giant in China, is also a hard-working company. , If you want to build the same successful domestic operating system, you have set a very ambitious target of 360 million installed units, which seems difficult to achieve, but in fact, Huawei can fully achieve this small goal, confident Originating from the Hongmeng OS system in many key performance aspects, it has far surpassed the IOS/Android system, and Huawei’s HMS ecological service has also completely secured the third largest ecological throne in the world.

Finally: Dear friends, do you think the Huawei Hongmeng OS system can accomplish this feat? What are your opinions and opinions on this? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss, and look forward to your wonderful comments!

This malicious application is called Mods Minecraft. The app doesn’t function like an ad at all, instead it turns the victim’s smartphone and tablet into an ad-player in an extremely sophisticated way. (Photo: Kaspersky) Accordingly, after the first run, the application will hide its icons from the screen and continuously open the browser to display ads. The app can also play videos from YouTube, access the Google Play app store, and more. Security experts at Kaspersky found that the app opens the browser every two minutes, rendering the device essentially inoperable. use to be. (Photo: Kaspersky) What’s especially worrisome is that it’s hard for users to know what’s going on with their devices, which apps are responsible for the trouble, and how to prevent it. The security experts at Kaspersky informed Google of their findings and the malicious app was quickly removed from the store. Minecraft is one of the best-selling games in the world with about 180 million copies worldwide. (Photo: Mojang) However, removing this app from Google’s app store does not mean the removal of all malware. In the past, developers of this type would simply upload new, slightly modified versions, using different names, from different developer accounts to further trick victims. An example can be mentioned is the VK Music Trojan. This app stole VK user accounts, but despite being reported, the app has survived on the Google Play app store for several years. (Artwork: Unsplash) Kaspersky ran a search for malicious Minecraft Mods-like apps – and found a few. In addition to the malicious application Mods Minecraft, a utility called File Recovery was also found to contain malware in version 1.1. However, that version has since been removed and version 1.1.1 of the app, available on Google Play, is safe.

The analysis report from Bitdefender researchers said that Teabot malware can perform attacks through Android Accessibility Services, view private messages, steal banking information, steal authentication codes. of Google,… and even take full remote control of the victim’s devices. (Artwork: Unsplash) Distributing malware directly from app stores would be difficult, so hackers use the method of impersonating top-rated apps distributed on third-party websites. . According to research by Bitdefender, fake Android apps include antivirus, media player, health, etc. To deceive users, the fake app’s name and logo will be copied. copy almost or exactly like the real application.

In case your phone has 1 of the 6 applications below, quickly remove them immediately. The main app icon (right) and the fake app (left) have some differences in the 5th and 6th apps. (Image: Bitdefender) Bitdefender emphasizes that the campaign against these malicious applications is still active. For this reason, Android users need to be careful about downloading apps, especially apps from third parties, that aren’t part of the Google app market; Don’t click on strange links and always look carefully at the permission requests of Android apps.

Rejected by Facebook Jan Koum is of Jewish descent, born in 1976 into a poor family on the outskirts of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Koum’s father worked as a hospital and school construction manager, and his mother worked as a housewife. At the age of 16, Koum followed his mother and grandmother to the US to settle first, intending to settle down to welcome his father. They live off social welfare, from food stamps for those who cannot afford food. Koum’s mother takes care of the kids to earn extra money, while Koum cleans a grocery store. Koum still uses notebooks and pens brought from Ukraine because he lacks money to buy them. In 1997, when Koum was 21 years old, his father died in his hometown. Three years later, Koum’s mother also died in the US from cancer. In high school, Jan Koum didn’t have many friends and was seen as an outcast. He almost failed to graduate because of his lack of education. Jan Koum finds joy in his old computer. This time, Koum joins a hacker group called woowoo. With the experience gained from this hacker group, he applied for the exam and entered the University of San Jose. During his studies, he worked for Ernst and Young Auditing Company in the position of security vulnerability tester. In 1997, he ran into Yahoo employee Brian Acton. With the help of Acton, Koum got a job in cybersecurity six months later at Yahoo. Koum decided to leave school to focus on working for Yahoo. After 9 years at Yahoo, Koum rose to the position of infrastructure manager. In 2007, Koum and Acton both quit their jobs at Yahoo, spending time traveling South America in search of new inspirations. When they returned, the two applied to Facebook together, but were rejected. During his unemployment, Koum mulled over his next job. Buying an iPhone, Koum realized he could succeed with apps from the App Store. Koum came up with the idea to let people set up status updates on their phones. He said: “I am annoyed because I miss a lot of calls when I am at the gym. So I came up with the idea of ​​an app that lets friends know if the person on the other end of the line is ready to take a call, with a feature called “status”. We didn’t originally plan to start a company, we just wanted to make a product that people could use.” In February 2009, Koum and Acton co-founded WhatsApp, turning the product into a messaging app. At first, the cost to verify SMS for users cost about 500,000 USD/month, making Koum’s bank account almost exhausted. By December 2009, they updated a new version for WhatsApp on iPhone, making it possible for this application to send images, immediately the number of users increased. To ensure coverage, WhatsApp charged about $1 a month to use, which brought in about $5,000 in revenue in early 2010, enough to cover expenses later. By February 2013, when the number of WhatsApp users reached about 200 million and the number of employees was 50, Acton and Koum decided to organize a fundraiser and was invested 50 million USD by Sequoia Investment Fund, increasing the value of WhatsApp to 1 , 5 billion USD. The founding duo is very concerned about security for users. “We want to know as little of the user’s information as possible. We don’t run ads, so we don’t need personal data,” Koum said. WhatsApp quickly grew without any marketing or PR campaigns, especially in less developed countries where users rely heavily on SMS messages. Return to conquer the big man WhatsApp’s growth caught the attention of Facebook’s CEO. In 2012, Mark Zuckerberg phoned Koum to express his interest in WhatsApp. The two then kept in touch, often climbing mountains and chatting about the topic of world connection. In February 2014, Zuckerberg met Koum and offered to buy WhatsApp for $19 billion (including $4 billion in cash, the rest in Facebook stock). At the time Facebook acquired WhatsApp, the app had 450 million monthly active users. In 2019, this number has reached 1.5 billion. By February 2021, the application has surpassed 2 billion users in 180 countries, is the world’s most popular free messaging application over the internet today. However, the sale of WhatsApp by co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton is said to be a bad decision. The biggest split between WhatsApp and Facebook is the messaging app’s monetization policy. Koum and Acton have resisted the adoption of Facebook’s widespread advertising model, which uses personal data to allow marketers to show ads to specific sets of customers on the social network. Those disagreements have led to tensions with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg. Acton left WhatsApp in 2017, 8 months later Jan Koum also left. “I sold my company. For great personal gain I sold my users’ privacy to Facebook. I made a decision and compromised with that and I regret it” – Jan Koum shared with Forbes. After the two founders left, Facebook persisted with the policy given to WhatsApp. In early January 2021, WhatsApp made a controversial decision, when it changed its policy and terms of use, requiring WhatsApp users to agree to the sharing of their personal information with the parent company Facebook. and Facebook affiliated companies. According to WhatsApp, sharing information will help this application better understand users, in order to improve and enhance the quality of the service. However, this move of WhatsApp has angered many users and called for a boycott of the application, because they do not want to share their information with Facebook. Many WhatsApp users have switched to other free internet messaging apps and services, like Telegram and Signal. In 2014, Jan Koum entered Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans at number 62, with an estimated net worth of $7.5 billion. As of August 2020, his net worth is estimated at $10 billion.

And recently, he also made Facebook users happy like opening the flag in their stomach when together with friends, he formed a group called “7onez – Free support” to support problems about Facebook and other social networks. . For the purpose of serving the community’s interests, the group will have members who are experienced in Facebook security, and support to recover accounts when locked, especially problems/questions will be supported free of charge. online fees. Hieu PC’s personal Facebook post Facebook Although just established, the group has attracted nearly 6K people, with the introduction “This is a small group of 7onez used to help you improve your security and recover your Facebook, Gmail, Instagram accounts… Free of charge. Supporters will be those who are censored and selected by the 7onez administration.” So if you have problems with account security or your account is locked, just post or inbox will be answered by everyone, support to get back quite quickly and especially can avoid scam cases.

UC Browser is developed by UCWeb, a subsidiary of Alibaba (China). This is one of the most popular mobile browsers in Asia, with over 500 million downloads on Google Play alone. According to security researcher Gabi Cirlig, UC Browser silently sent iPhone users’ browsing data (even with incognito mode enabled) to UCWeb servers (registered in China, but located in the US). ). This is in stark contrast to the company’s previous statement, which does not record a user’s “browsing and search history” when incognito mode is activated. More worryingly, UC Browser also collects IDs (unique identifiers) to track users across various websites. The collection of user data happens on both Android and iOS versions, not sure what UCWeb is doing with all this information? Interested readers can watch the video at: “This kind of tracking is done on purpose,” Cirlig told Forbes. When compared with Google Chrome browser and some other popular browsers, he found there is no browser like UC Browser. UC Browser just rolled out a new update last week, but the company never mentioned monitoring users’ browsing activity. Currently the English version of UC Browser has been removed from the App Store, but the Chinese version still exists, and unlike the English version, it does not send data back to the UCWeb server. Earlier in 2019, the UC Browser version for Android also violated Google Play’s policies.

Buy outright battery – expensive solution for invisible benefits The biggest benefit of buying outright batteries is not in the material value but in the spiritual value. It’s a feeling of ownership. But to get that intangible benefit, customers will have to trade it with a relatively large financial burden. The battery is by far the most expensive component of an electric vehicle, accounting for about 30-40% of the cost, according to UK-based research and consulting firm GlobalData. In the foggy country, most electric cars are still at least $13,000 more expensive than a comparable internal combustion engine car. “The biggest barrier to owning an electric car is cost,” Rod Dennis of RAC, the UK’s leading car service, told The Guardian. Although there has been a “revolution” in battery production costs, falling from $1,000/kWh in 2010 to about $150-200/kWh in 2020, according to James Frith, head of Energy Finance column. New Energy (NEF) of Bloomberg news agency, “for electric vehicles to be as cheap as internal combustion engine cars, the battery price must be brought back to the threshold of $100/kWh”. However, according to Bloomberg, the increase in raw material prices on a global scale can create a “bottleneck” that makes the goal of lowering the price of the “energy heart” of electric vehicles more difficult. “It is not a wise choice to spend thousands of dollars more just for the ‘feel of ownership’. Not to mention, the user will be responsible for all risks with the battery block if any, “said an automotive expert. Swap batteries – more risks, more costs To reduce costs for customers, some electric car manufacturers offer a battery swap policy to separate the battery from the price of the car. Specifically, instead of buying outright, customers will rent the battery pack from the manufacturer or a 3rd party. When the battery is almost depleted, the customer will bring the car to the service workshop to replace the fully charged battery. In August 2020, NIO launched a BaaS (Battery as a Service) battery exchange service with a subscription fee from 980 yuan / month (150 USD). According to “Tesla of China”, the BaaS service helps the company reduce the price of cars by about 70,000 yuan (more than $10,000). For customers, refueling the car also becomes as quick as refueling. However, every coin has two sides, the battery swap policy also shows many inadequacies. Before NIO, the battery swap model was tested in the French and Taiwanese markets, but was not really successful. In 2019, French car company Renault had to stop this policy. “Battery swapping will be more suitable for two and three-wheeled vehicles, using low voltage, usually 48V, and small battery capacity, from 1.5kWh to up to 4kWh”, said CV Raman – Head of Engineering of the company. Maruti Suzuki India, analysis. Raman also said that this is the reason why Maruti Suzuki did not enter the electric car battery swap business. “Car batteries use high voltage, are integrated with many technologies and involve the cooling system. Frequent swapping compromises integrity, creates insecurity and increases the risks associated with electrical contact,” he said. On the other hand, Omprakash Upadhyay, an electric vehicle expert at TATA AutoComp (India), said that swapping batteries does not completely reduce the cost burden for customers. This model requires large, complex and expensive infrastructure as service shops have to keep a large stock of pre-charged batteries at all times. “Invisible medium, each car must have at least two sets of batteries – one set inside the vehicle and one available in the battery replacement station. This increases the cost of the car a lot, given the fact that the battery is the most expensive component in an electric vehicle,” Upadhyay said. Battery subscription – optimal for economy, maximum for safety The battery subscription policy that some companies like VinFast apply can be considered a perfect solution, helping to balance both the advantages and limitations of the two forms of outright purchase and swap. In economic terms, instead of having to spend “a lump” of thousands of dollars to buy batteries, customers will be leased batteries by manufacturers. The monthly subscription fee is offered by the company based on the calculation of the average distance traveled. With the VF e34 model, VinFast applies a subscription fee of 1.45 million VND/month for a distance of 1,400km, meeting the average travel demand well. “Operating costs, including battery rental and electric charging, are equal to the cost of gasoline consumption, and the price and features are superior to gasoline cars,” said Ms. Thai Thi Thanh Hai – General Director of VinFast. . According to estimates by GlobalData, the cost of buying a battery pack is equivalent to the total subscription fee for more than 8 years. The form of “split” cost over time is currently quite popular with technology products and services such as phone, television or Internet packages. In particular, the indispensable advantage of the subscription form is that the manufacturer will be responsible for the battery throughout the product life cycle, even to the recycling stage, bringing absolute peace of mind and peace to customers. row. Like VinFast, the company is committed to replacing customers with a new battery pack when the battery’s ability to receive charge drops below 70%. This is a “super benefit” that customers who buy the battery outright do not get. “Battery rental helps car owners benefit more when the battery is checked, maintained and serviced in a timely manner by the manufacturer. This model will be the key for electric vehicles to develop on a large scale, “said GlobalData.

According to information from Google, from June 1, all new photos and videos backed up in High Quality will count towards 15GB of free storage, which comes with a Google account or additional storage. Sung bought. Previously, only Original Quality photos counted towards storage. Once you’ve used up 15GB, you’ll have to delete some photos or other Google Drive content to free up space; or buy a Google One plan to increase your Google account’s storage up to 2TB. How will Google Photos users be affected by this new storage policy of Google? What happens to photos and videos backed up before June 1? The good news is that both High Quality and Original Quality backups before June 1, 2021 don’t count towards your Google account’s 15GB space. Memory for photos, videos Original quality has changed? Original quality photos and videos continue to count towards 15GB of free storage. Photos backed up in original quality and then compressed to high quality after June 1 will also count towards your Google account’s storage space. How much space do I have left on my Google account? You can use Google’s storage management tool to see how much free storage you have left, free up memory, delete blurry photos, screenshots. How much does a Google One plan upgrade cost? The price of the Google One plan varies by region. In Vietnam, the cheapest membership package costs from 45,000 VND/month or 450,000 VND/year. For this money, you get 100GB of storage, the option to add a family, additional membership benefits, and access to Google experts. The 200GB package costs 69,000 VND/month or 690,000 VND/year. The 2TB package costs 225,000 VND/month or 2,250,000 VND/year. What service is similar to Google Photos but free? There are other options if you don’t want to spend money to buy a Google Photos membership, such as Amazon Photos, Apple iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Flickr. What offers are available to Pixel users?

Illustration (Source: drupal.org) On June 1, 2021, the Google Photos photo storage service officially stopped storing free photos for users. Users will not be able to store their photos to Google Photos for free, whether storing in high quality or original photos will count towards Google’s default 15GB. All photos stored by users before June 1, 2021 will not apply this change, but only to photos saved after this date. After the specified date, the user will continue to upload images until the entire accompanying 15 GB is full, at which point the user will have to delete the image or purchase additional storage. On the other hand, Google will delete all files in the account when the user is inactive for 2 years. Along with that, Google has also changed the “High quality” image option to “Storage saver”. And of course, this new option will also count towards the user’s free 15GB and the quality of the Storage saver will not be the same as the original image. Pixel phone users will continue to get unlimited free photo and video backups on Google Photos, but for a certain period of time set by Google. At the same time, Google will provide a tool in June 2021 that will allow users to manage backed up photos and videos, the tool will automatically mark dark or blurry images, large videos that users may not be able to see. want to keep, then make a suggestion asking the user if they want to delete it. Google’s new policy will apply to all users Google Photos on all platforms including Android, iOS and desktop. Users are forced to purchase additional Google photo storage. (Screenshots) Thus, after nearly 6 years of “trial”, the Google Photos photo storage service officially charges all users. Users who want more storage will have to buy more for 45,000 VND/month. Launched in 2015, Google Photos is Google’s photo and video sharing and storage service. Google Photos is rated as one of the photo hosting service the world’s best when allowing users to upload images and videos with unlimited storage space (images with reduced quality compared to the original image).

After a series of privacy scandals of technology companies, it is not surprising that a study by Flurry Analytics in the US shows that 96% of iPhone users will refuse to grant permission. Facebook doesn’t seem to understand what privacy means to users yet. Photo: CNN. Despite the annoyances with iOS 14.5, Facebook still doesn’t seem to understand what privacy means to users. That is proven in a study published on SSRN ( Social Science Research Network ), authors include Professor Daniel Sokol from the Levin School of Law at the University of Florida, and Feng Zhu from Harvard University. According to the Inc , a research paper backed by Facebook, asserts that adding ATT to iOS 14.5 is a non-competitive act by Apple. Interpretation of the word “follow” “Apple’s iOS 14 update exposes an anticompetitive, fallacious strategy under the guise of privacy. Apple is banning any apps that aren’t theirs from collecting the information needed to show personalized ads without being able to use it. without user permission. Users can only opt-in after seeing a disturbing, misleading message about “tracking”. This message is not displayed on Apple’s app, because the user has automatically joined the data collection program,” the study said. The main problem here is the interpretation of the word “tracking”. Apple defines “tracking” as an application that collects data and then shares it with another party, also known as third-party tracking. Meanwhile, first-party tracking is data collected and used by the app itself, to improve product experience or features. This is something that is accepted by Apple, and the programmer does not need to ask the user’s permission to follow. Apple and Facebook apps both use first-party trackers. However, Facebook also collects data when users visit other websites. This action is considered by Apple to be a third party tracker, which means that the Facebook application needs to ask the user’s permission before taking the data. Facebook does not seem to want to give users a choice because they think that when given a choice, users will not want to be tracked. Photo: 9to5mac. Facebook is like a stalker and thinks it’s good Since it was introduced by Apple last year, ATT has been constantly criticized by Facebook. In most statements, Facebook is mainly directed towards Apple. That makes many people think that this is a conflict between Facebook and Apple. However, this is really a battle between Facebook and users. If there is no choice, the user is the loser. Facebook is entering an area where privacy is a contradictory concept. They believe that personalized advertising benefits society. This may be the correct view. However, it would be better if users could choose how their data is used. Let’s put the hypothesis in reality. If Facebook sends someone to your front door, look in the bathroom to see what shampoo or toilet paper you use. From the above information, they will send you ads and offers specifically for those products. Facebook could argue that it benefits both users and advertisers when marketing to the right goals and needs, but no one will take it seriously when the platform sends people to snoop around the bathroom. From there, the user will have a need not to track, by closing the bathroom window curtain. If the business model is in trouble just because users have a choice, that’s Facebook’s problem, not Apple’s. Graphics: Ha My. However, Facebook does not want to talk about this issue. Instead, they repeatedly accused Apple of doing wrong, affecting the interests of Facebook and advertisers. The platform even “threats” to charge a fee if users do not consent to data collection. That’s what Facebook doesn’t seem to understand yet. It is entirely possible for them to give users the choice, while still earning revenue as a business, that owns one of the big profitable business models. However, Facebook does not want to give users a choice because they think that when given a choice, users will not want to be tracked. Apple doesn’t ban tracking, they just ask the app for permission to be tracked. When most users refuse to follow, their trust may be lost after a series of scandals. If the business model is in trouble just because users have a choice, that’s Facebook’s problem, not Apple’s. ‘I don’t want to be tracked by Facebook’ The iOS 14.5 update allows users to block Facebook from tracking their data. Therefore, advertising on this platform gradually becomes less effective.

This means that users should update their iPhone immediately, even if their device is running smoothly. (Photo courtesy: Guardsquare) Accordingly, iOS 14.6 contains patches for 43 security holes, with some of which are considered to need serious attention. Apple’s support document says the update addresses a number of security vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on a device. In a sharing with Forbes, security expert Sean Wright said the security flaws – which have been resolved in the latest iOS update – are “pretty bad to get.” (Artwork: NewsBeezer) While there is no indication that any of the security vulnerabilities Apple lists have been actively exploited, iPhone/iPad users should update their devices as soon as possible. Apple notes that some of the vulnerabilities were discovered by security researchers working for Trend Micro, a multinational cybersecurity company. (Artwork: Getty Images/iStockphoto) Some of the security and performance issues that have been fixed by the listed update include: – A memory corruption issue in the ASN decoder affecting the handling of manually generated certificates can lead to arbitrary code execution. – Audio problems related to the processing of audio files loaded with malware that can lead to arbitrary code execution. – ImageIO interferes with the processing of an image loaded with malware that can lead to arbitrary code execution. (Artwork: PhoneArena) The kernel allows a malicious application to execute arbitrary code with system kernel privileges. – The I/O pattern affects handling of a manually generated USD file that can lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. – WebKit affects the processing of web content with malware installed that can lead to scripting on multiple sites. (Artwork: Rahul Chakraborty / Unsplash) Currently, iOS 14-compatible iPhone/iPad users can download the iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 updates for free via the OTA protocol. To update to iOS 14.6, users need to access the app Setting => General settings => Software updates .

The report found that as many as 23 apps are available on Google Play, each with between 50,000 and 10 million downloads, violating privacy guidelines in the collection and storage of user information. Some applications are less secure, leaving users vulnerable to personal data leakage. (Photo: Check Point) Of these, there are 13 applications that store user data in the cloud but are not secure. This means hackers can easily access data from the outside. Hackers can even modify the developer’s notice, and replace it with malicious links or misleading content. Users’ personal information is easily leaked when using these applications. (Photo: Check Point) These vulnerabilities put at least 100 million Android users at risk of phishing, identity theft, and malware attacks. 13 out of 23 apps have extremely poor security, allowing hackers to access public data, but Check Point only lists 5 applications that need attention: This Screen Recoder app was found to be storing users’ passwords on an unsecured cloud service, leaving the data vulnerable to leaks. (Photo: Check Point) – Astro Guru : Horoscope app with over 10 million downloads. Astro Guru stores each user’s name, date of birth, gender, GPS location, email address, and payment information. – iFax : Mobile fax application, stores all documents sent by more than 500,000 users in a cloud database. – Logo Maker : Logo design app with over 170,000 users. The user’s full name, account ID, email and password are all accessible. (Artwork: Crystal Cox/Business Insider) – Screen Recorder : This app has more than 10 million downloads. The developer stored the user’s password on an unsecured cloud service, making the data vulnerable to leaks. – T’Leva : Taxi hailing app from Angola with over 50,000 downloads. This application saves the history between the driver and the rider, the location data, name and phone number are accessible. Check Point said it notified the app developers, but only Astro Guru responded, and some of the apps are still available on Google Play.

According to this leader, he never intended to experiment with opening 3rd-party app stores for its devices, because that would push users closer to the risk of malware exposure. Tim Cook appeared in court on May 21. Photo: Yahoo Finance. The view of Apple CEO received approval from Professor Justin Cappos, working at Tandon School of Engineering , belonging to New York University . “Clearly it is not possible for users to arbitrarily install software from their own application store,” Professor Justin Cappos stated on the website. Yahoo Finance . “Even if it’s a familiar app, there’s still the potential for increased malware and phishing on the iPhone.” Of course, Apple’s blocking of 3rd party app stores on iPhones is not simply about protecting consumers. The company also collects a 30% fee on transactions made through the App Store. In other words, while Apple is right when it comes to consumer protection, the dominance of the App Store still gets it in trouble with antitrust regulation. Tim Cook’s stance In an antitrust lawsuit being considered by the court, Epic claims Apple abused the position of the App Store, forcing developers to use a payment system it managed and paying a 30% fee. From summer 2020, Epic kicks things off with a Fortnite update, adding the option to pay for in-game currency through its own channel at a cheaper price than the App Store. Apple responded by removing Fortnite from the app store and locking down Epic’s developer account. The game company quickly filed a lawsuit against Apple for monopoly behavior, demanding a reduction in transaction fees through the App Store or allowing 3rd party app stores to operate on the iPhone. CEO Epic appeared in court on May 20. Photo: Yahoo Finance. The trial took place in May with many fierce arguments, and Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is expected to announce the ruling next week. Here, Epic argues that if a 3rd-party app store appeared on the iPhone, developers could reduce the price of the app because it wouldn’t cost Apple 30% of the fee. Present in court, Tim Cook defended its stance on not allowing external app stores to appear on the iPhone. By comparing the amount of malware on iOS with platforms that allow the installation of 3rd party applications – Cook asserts that the iPhone accounts for only 1-2% of malware infections, while this rate on Android, Windows up to 30-40%. “If you look at the malware on iOS compared to Android and Windows, it’s really insignificant.” The numbers are on Apple’s side Cook’s view is reinforced by Report on smart device threats in 2020 published by Nokia. Accordingly, 26.64% of malware infections come from Android devices. This number is down from 47.15% in 2019. Nokia believes that security on Android has improved compared to before, in addition, hackers are gradually shifting attacks to IoT devices. Meanwhile, 38.92% of all malware infections originate from Windows PCs. The corresponding rate on Apple’s iPhone is only 1.72%. The rest belongs to other IoT devices. The rate of malware infection on iPhone is much lower than on other platforms. Photo: Yahoo Finance. Why the difference between the 3 operating systems? Professor Cappos says there are several factors at play, including iOS being updated more frequently than Android and Windows. Operating system updates will patch bugs that hackers can exploit with malware, making devices harder to jailbreak. In addition, Android and Windows are two of the most used platforms in the world, which makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Both the App Store and Play Store have automated malware detection processes, but Google has trouble allowing users to access 3rd-party app stores. Most security experts recommend not downloading it. download applications from these places due to the risk of malicious code insertion. Meanwhile, Windows allows users to install apps through the Windows Store or download them from anywhere on the web. Can’t “Security Flag” protect Apple? Apple does not disclose revenue from the App Store, instead, it bundles it with Services. This business, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music+, and iCloud, will bring in $53.7 billion in 2020, or 20 percent of Apple’s $274 billion in total revenue. That proves the App Store is generating a lot of money for the company. With huge profits and strict controls on the app store, Apple may face accusations of unfair competition. According to Professor Shubha Ghosh of Syracuse University of Law , Apple needs to demonstrate that this business is up to the level of security it offers. Sometimes in the eyes of Judge Gonzalez Rogers, the 30% commission per transaction and the security of the platform don’t go together. Even security may not be the judge’s concern. “Antitrust courts don’t care so much about safety – they care about competition,” says Professor Sam Weinstein of Cardozo Law School explain. Why does Apple want to repair the iPhone itself? Apple wants to repair iPhones themselves instead of empowering 3rd parties or users.

Users can hide the number of likes on Facebook On May 27, Facebook officially announced the launch of the feature to hide the number of likes on Facebook and Instagram. Users can optionally hide the public like count on posts. Accordingly, this social network will offer an option to hide the number of likes on all posts on the news feed. Users can also choose to hide the number of likes on their own posts so that others can’t see how many likes that post has. According to Facebook, with this feature, people can focus on the shared image or video instead of the number of likes. Users can hide the number of likes on other people’s posts, by accessing the new “Posts” section in the “Settings” section. This control applies to all News Feed posts. Besides, users can also choose to hide the number of likes before sharing a content. The feature can be optionally enabled/disabled, even after the content has been posted. Because everyone wants more flexibility, we’ve made the choice so they can adjust as they please. Over the next few weeks, both of these controls will be in place, according to Facebook. Previously, this feature was tested on Instagram recently to find out if hiding the number of likes reduces the user experience or not. Many users and experts say that not seeing the number of likes is beneficial for some, but annoying for others, especially in the context that people base their likes on the number of likes. to gauge the popularity and popularity of a content. Therefore, this feature will be offered as an option so that users can decide which option is right for them. Facebook says it’s working to discover more ways for people to have more control over their experience. That’s why the largest social network on the planet is launching new tools to let people filter objectionable content from Direct Messages and offer features to control what they see. and share on Facebook News Feed- like the News Feed Filter Toolbar, Favorites and Adjust who can comment… Changing the way people see like counts is a big change. Facebook and Instagram will continue to work on new ways to give people more choice and feel good about the time spent in apps.

According to Apple’s release notes, the update provides an important security patch, which fixes two major vulnerabilities in the WebKit suite of applications that could allow hackers to penetrate users’ iPhones. iPhone battery life and overall device performance have taken a big hit since installing iOS 14.5. (Photo: TechnoSports) Apple recommends that users immediately update to iOS 14.5.1 as soon as possible. However, Apple seems to have rushed to roll out this update to fix those problems early, which leads to some new problems. Some users have reported that iPhone battery life and overall device performance have degraded significantly since installing iOS 14.5. (Photo: Internet) In a video posted on YouTube on May 5, YouTuber Nick Ackerman showed this problem. In a speed test between iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, YouTuber Nick Ackerman found that iOS 14.5.1 reduced the performance of iPhone 12 and 11 by 60% through the test posted on YouTube. In the benchmark test using the 3DMark application, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 both performed worse than the iPhone XR – an iPhone model that was released in 2018. (Photo: Nick Ackerman / YouTube) (Photo: Nick Ackerman / YouTube) In the Geekbench battery life test performed by iAppleBytes, the iPhone 11 running iOS 14.5.1 gave about 5.5 hours of battery life, down from 6 hours for the iPhone 11 running iOS 14.5 in same test. This puts users between two difficult choices, because if they choose to stay in iOS 14.5, users will be at risk of being hacked into their iPhone through a security hole. Meanwhile, if updating to iOS 14.5.1, users will be forced to accept many errors that arise after updating. (Photo: AR7 / Twitter) Luckily iOS 14.6 will bring a fix for this performance issue. The upcoming update is currently in beta, and as of now, the iOS 14.6 beta shows that the update won’t affect the device’s battery life. The official iOS 14.6 version will be rolling out to the community soon as Apple has now made beta versions of iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 available to developers. Therefore, users should be aware of this important update in the coming days.

Not only has a unique taste, durian also has high nutritional value, replenishing energy for the body to work all day long. Durian contains a fairly high amount of B vitamins that help prevent aging, increase good cholesterol (HDL), support mood improvement and reduce stress. In addition, durian also contains a lot of Vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and pholic acid, which support the body to increase resistance and help the body feel refreshed. In Vietnam, most durian varieties were imported from Thailand and were first grown in Bien Hoa, then widely propagated to the Southern provinces and the Central Highlands. Currently, the durian growing area with the highest quality and diversity in our country is the Mekong Delta, typically the provinces of Vinh Long, Ben Tre… Delicious durian must include the following types: Durian Ri 6 When it comes to durian, one must mention the Ri 6 durian, an extremely familiar and easy-to-find durian in the market. The name Ri 6 is named after the “father” of this plant in Vietnam. Durian Ri 6 is favored by its characteristic aroma, thick rice, flat seeds, sweet taste, and moderate fat. Durian fruit has oval shape, narrow bottom, thin skin with yellow green color. The thick yellow durian rice is very beautiful, the seeds are small or flat. Sau Ri’s durian variety is now widely grown and produces high quality fruit in Vinh Long, Cai Mon, and Ben Tre provinces. Thai Monthong Durian Introduced to Vietnam in the early 90s, up to now, Thai Monthong durian has become one of the most popular durian varieties, not inferior to Ri 6 durian. Monthong durian fruit is green or gi, egg-shaped or rectangular, with thick spines, each fruit has an average weight of 2-4kg. Durian rice has a light aroma, a light yellow color, is thick and dry and can be preserved for a long time, because this feature makes Monthong the only durian variety that can be dried. Mongthong durian is characterized by a sweet, fatty taste like butter, flat or small seeds. Monthong durian is grown in many places, especially for quality fruit in the Southeast and Central Highlands. Durian is suffering Durian is a domestic variety, has long been popularly grown in the Mekong Delta, this durian variety is favored by its popularity, ease of cultivation and affordable price. Durian bitter melon consists of two varieties, yellow and green. The green bitter gourd variety with higher yield and quality should be preferred. The green bitter gourd has a long gourd like a filling, the color of the green skin is similar to the color of bitter melon, the spines are sharp and quite thick. Durian green bitter melon has yellow rice, slightly mushy, characteristic sweet and patient, very fragrant and fatty but the seeds are very large. The edible part of the fruit is relatively low, only about 16 – 18%, this percentage will be even lower in the fruit with small pits or small fruits. Cai Mon durian Legend has it that this durian variety was brought from Cambodia by a Confucian teacher named Luu in Cai Mon and planted in the land of coconuts in the 1910s and named Durian Sua Bo. Over the past 100 years, Mr. Luu’s durian variety has become a famous brand – Cai Mon durian. Bread is a familiar daily food for many people, but there is a cake that many people eat without getting bored called chrysanthemum bread. To save money and ensure your health, invite you to BlogAnChoi to learn how to make chrysanthemum bread that causes fever… Cai Mon durian fruit is not large, only 1-2kg on average, thin green skin, sparse spines. The rice is light yellow like chicken fat wrapped around flat seeds, has a characteristic aroma, the thicker the rice, the sweeter the taste, the richer the fat. (According to Viet Bao)

The reaction comes after the New York Times revealed about the special relationship between Apple and China. Accordingly, Apple is accused of being a tool to help the Chinese government “monitor and censor user data”. Telegram “father” believes that Apple is selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price. In addition, the billionaire also criticized Apple’s business model and said that the company is “selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price to customers and locking them in the ecosystem of Apple. the firm”. “Every time I have to use the app on my iPhone, I feel like I have to go back to the Middle Ages. The 60 Hz screen of the iPhone offers an experience that is not as good as the 120 Hz screens on many Android smartphones today,” Durov shared. Not stopping there, the billionaire also added that outdated hardware is not the real problem of iPhones. The worst thing Apple is doing is not allowing users to install apps from sources other than the App Store. At the same time, users cannot use services other than iCloud to back up the device. In the past, the “father” of Telegram and Apple had many conflicts. In 2018, Apple removed the Telegram app from the App Store due to concerns about child pornography on the platform. In July 2020, Telegram accused Apple of monopolizing the European Commission. Most recently, in mid-January, Apple was sued by a non-profit organization called “Coalition for a Safer Web” for not removing Telegram, accusing it of being used by hate groups and extremists. use. According to VTV

Recently, the shocking investigation of New York Times shows that Apple has tacit agreements and about data sharing in China. Taking the opportunity, Durov commented on his Telegram channel that Apple was operating under the direction of China. Telegram was once blocked in Russia because the government believed that terrorists used the app to plan and coordinate terrorist attacks. Photo: Caspiannews. Durov also said that Apple’s business model is based on “selling outdated, expensive hardware to customers in this company’s ecosystem”. He added that the 60 Hz screen of the iPhone cannot compete with the 120 Hz products of Android phones and iOS is an outdated software. According to Durov, the worst part is that iPhone users are seen as the company’s “digital slaves”. Specifically, they are only allowed to install apps from the App Store and back up data on iCloud. “It’s no surprise that Apple’s authoritarian approach is appreciated by China, allowing the country to have full control over the apps and data of all its citizens,” Durov said. Ironically, Apple was sued earlier this year for allowing Telegram to work on the App Store. According to the Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), the app is used by opposition groups and extremists as a communication channel to spread misinformation and racial divisions in the US and Europe. .

Snapchat icon on tablet screen. (Photo: AFP/VNA) On May 21, Snapchat – a popular social network for young people using smartphones, announced that it has reached 500 million monthly users around the world. Speaking at the opening of Snap’s parent company’s partner leadership conference, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel said: “We’ve now reached over 500 million monthly users, which is Nearly one in two smartphone users in the US uses Snapchat.” According to him, in the US, France, UK, Australia and the Netherlands, Snapchat is becoming an indispensable part of daily life. The percentage of users is up to 90% in the 13-24 year old age group, and 75% in the 13-34 year old age group. Snapchat has seen hot growth over the past year, as many customers have to stay indoors due to the pandemic. Spiegel said the Snapchat community outside of North America and Europe is growing rapidly. About 40% of the users of this social network are now outside the two regions. The aforementioned 500 million users are higher than any previous estimate, indicating a sharp increase in usage Social Network in the context of a pandemic COVID-19 , and at the same time shows the racing effort of Snapchat against opponents like TikTok and Facebook’s Instagram.

High-end Android devices are less likely to fall into this situation. However, with users of mid-range and low-cost products, there have been many complaints about Google’s operating system. Part of that is because Google’s operating system consumes a lot of hardware power when operating. (Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales & Vjeran Pavic / The Verge) Known for running lots of apps in the background, Android often has higher hardware requirements than iOS for it to function properly. Over the past 10 years, smartphone hardware has seen a major change. For example, RAM has gone from 2-3GB to 8-12 and even 16-18GB on some high-end gaming phones like the ROG Phone. Chips on Android smartphones are already on par with Apple’s flagship chips. As a result, performance has been greatly improved. (Photo: James Martin / CNET) With the recently introduced Android 12, Google shows that improvements in hardware are not enough, the company has finally started to pay attention to other aspects of “smoothness” – software. Accordingly, Google has begun to pay more attention to the management and distribution of system performance on Android 12, to provide a smoother experience for users, especially on mid-range and low-end smartphones. (Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales & Vjeran Pavic / The Verge) The newly released Android 12 is said to have the ability to more closely manage background processes such as Android System Server, Activity Window and Package Manager. These background processes often “work together” and this makes it impossible for low-cost, mid-range devices with limited hardware to run as smoothly as users want. (Photo: 9to5Google) This is not a “feature” that can be turned on/off by the user. Google promises they will improve background processes to make your phone run smoother, more responsive. Animations are now less jittery, and improve the gesture navigation system, which is far less efficient than it was on the iPhone. (Photo: Presse-citron) Coupled with increasingly powerful chipsets from Qualcomm, and displays with high refresh rates, Android devices will feel faster and faster.

WhatsApp will block users who do not accept the new terms after May 15. Photo: WhatsApp After May 15, people who bypass WhatsApp’s new privacy rules will result in that account being restricted from accessing the app and eventually not being able to view the list of chats and calls. voice or video. After a few weeks, that user will be blocked from all resources including sending messages, but the account has not been removed from the system. Within 120 days of receiving the notification and the user stops logging in, that account will be deleted, all data will still be available if the user syncs with Messenger. WhatsApp updated its new policy earlier this year, all users were informed that the service would share data with other Facebook companies. Many users just want their data shared as little as possible, as some reports suggest that WhatsApp is collecting and sharing data related to location, IP address, phone model, operating system, etc. Your operating system, browser, mobile network, ISP, or even information about how you’re texting, calling, groups you’re in, status, profile picture, or the last time the user was online. To use the application, users must accept the new WhatsApp terms. However, the 27 European countries will not be affected by this new policy thanks to a privacy law known as GDPA and users will not have their personal data shared with another 3rd party.

This information was confirmed by the iTunes Customer Experience Manager at the time, Dale Bagwell, on Motherboard in an email that 128 million consumers downloaded more than 2,500 apps infected with malware that came from fake copies. Xcode’s appearance. In total, these 2,500 infected apps were downloaded more than 203 million times in the App Store. Another Apple recruiter mentioned that “China represents 55% of customers and 66% of downloads”, also referring to the malware “XcodeGhost”. According to multiple internal Apple emails, about 18 million affected users are based in the US. Notably, Apple has had many internal discussions about how to send warnings to affected developers and users because the number of customers potentially exposed to malicious code is quite high. Even so, App Store VP Matt Fischer notes that this will pose some challenges in terms of localization of the email’s language, since downloading these apps takes place in the App Store. all over the world. As a result, Apple failed to send warnings to users and developers. Even popular apps like WeChat and Angry Birds 2, designed for the Chinese market, are on the affected list, the report said. As soon as the malware was identified, Apple asked developers to immediately recompile their apps with a genuine version of Xcode. Lookout explains that “developers are drawn to downloading this fake version of Xcode because it will download much faster in China than the official version of Xcode from Apple’s Mac App Store.” Following this incident, Apple increased the security of Xcode installation and malware scanning when submitting apps to the App Store. In testimony from one of the heads of the App Store at the trial of the lawsuit between Epic and Apple, this person said the iOS app review process is part of Apple’s charge for the App Store.

The case that the information of 533 million Facebook accounts has just been released by hackers has made the issue of user privacy once again the focus of all attention. Agreeing on the fee of 5 million dong to regain the account after clicking on a strange link sent by a friend thanks to a vote on Facebook, Ms. LA, the owner of a famous beauty spa in Hanoi, spent 2 more days considering the proposal. about identity verification. Due to the characteristics of her job and the desire to create credibility with her partner, Ms. LA accepts to spend an additional 50 million to ask an intermediary to register for a green certificate. People who need to authenticate their Facebook accounts and other social networks like LA are not rare, especially business people, or celebrities. They are willing to spend a small amount of money to assert something that is their own property. While some platforms allow for free and simple identity verification, with Facebook it is both a difficult challenge and an intermediary fee is an option that is almost mandatory. That seemingly absurd thing is still happening every day, every hour, but no one is sure whether those verified accounts are guaranteed forever or not, because of the status of blue-tick accounts being occupied. becoming an online sales channel in recent times is easy to find. Especially when information about the data of 533 million Facebook users has just been released, many people cannot help but worry. The above data source is being sold by hackers on a hacker forum last week, including information such as phone number, login ID, full name, home address, date of birth, profile and email address … Which involves users in 106 countries, with 32 million Americans, 11 million British and 6 million Indians. In this regard, Facebook said the stolen data did not include users’ financial, health and password information. However, these data can provide valuable information for hackers and other breaches. More importantly, this is not the first time Facebook’s user data has been exposed on a large scale. Facebook user data is regularly leaked The 2015 cult case involving the British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica illegally used the personal data of more than 87 million Facebook users to target political ads. This is a scandal that caused Facebook to accept a settlement of up to $ 5 billion, and also caused founder Mark Zuckerberg to testify before the US Congress. Then in September 2019, a database of more than 400 million phone numbers related to Facebook accounts was released, including about 50 million Vietnamese users. Just 3 months later, the information of 267 million users including login IDs, names and phone numbers continued to fall into the hands of hackers. At the same time, the data leak in Belgium and Luxembourg, including that of European Justice Didier Reynders, many EU cabinet members and diplomats, has caused Facebook to suffer for a while. long time. However, Facebook explained that these data leaks were not caused by hackers breaking into the system, but rather by a vulnerability in the sync communication tool that was exploited by vandals in 2019. Facebook later The company has discovered the vulnerability and fixed it, and confirmed that similar incidents will not happen again in the future. Meanwhile, Mike Clark, Facebook’s director of product management, is constantly moving to try to downplay the impact of this large-scale leak. By March 2021, netizens were again shocked by the information that the data of 41 million Facebook users in Vietnam was distributed by hackers. Talking to a VietNamNet reporter at the time, a Facebook representative acknowledged that the leaked data was from users of this social network, but said “this may be information obtained before we (Facebook – PV) made changes over the past few years to protect users’ information. However, whether Facebook really protects users’ information according to what the head of this platform often says, that is another story. Judging by the recent situation, it seems that the problem of leaking Facebook user information is difficult to completely solve and needs to be looked at in detail. The spread of user information may first be because Facebook did not pay attention to this aspect, nor did it establish a complete and strict system to protect user information. At the same time, after a data breach, Facebook did not thoroughly summarize the problem, how to fix loopholes and prevent new problems from appearing. Not only that, a Facebook spokesperson said it is not clear which users should be notified in the recent incident. Because users cannot patch the vulnerabilities themselves and their personal data has been spread on the Internet, Facebook will not specifically notify the users involved. As a result, Facebook’s performance in this area is relatively poor, and user data leaks are frequent. After all, compared to other social software, users’ dependence on Facebook is still very high. If it leaks many times, I am afraid that it will easily cause irreparable losses and bad consequences. Legal privacy of Facebook users With the data of 87 million users exposed in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the 10 countries with the most Facebook accounts being collected are the US, Philippines, Indonesia, UK, Mexico, Canada, India, Brazil, Vietnam and Australia. Vietnam has 427,446 user accounts whose data has been collected. CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook made mistakes and that his company failed to protect customer data, losing users’ trust. “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t do that, we don’t deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his personal Facebook page after the scandal. In addition to the $5 billion settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at the time, the two sides reached a landmark settlement against allegations of misuse of user data. . According to the settlement reached by the FTC, when more than 500 user information is illegally stolen, Facebook is required to report it within 30 days. In connection with this case, Facebook also had to pay £500,000 (about $ 649,000) after a fine from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). By October last year, a user group called Facebook You Owe Us in the United Kingdom, led by the law firm Milberg London and supported by former CEO Richard Lloyd, continued to sue Facebook and seek compensation. another large sum. Meanwhile, most of Facebook’s data disclosure scandals have a direct impact on users of this social network in Vietnam. No one has been able to determine how many of the 427,446 Vietnamese user accounts in the Cambridge Analytica incident, or the 41 million accounts in the newly announced case in March 2021, were affected, even appropriated and had to be stolen. spend a small amount of money to get your account back like LA One thing is for sure, users are solely responsible for the security of personal account information in accordance with the general provisions of most platforms, including Facebook. However, if personal information on platforms like Facebook is leaked without subjective reasons from the user, on the contrary due to a security incident from the platform, who will be responsible for this? Since Facebook is obligated to compensate users in the US or EU affected by security incidents on the platform, why are 69,280,000 users using this social network in Vietnam, accounting for 70 .1% of the entire population (statistics as of June 2020), of which many are victims of Facebook incidents, are automatically responsible? This question, the writer would like to leave the answer open, because currently Vietnam does not have specific regulations and sanctions that apply specifically to social networking platforms, or the object of application in this case is outside of Vietnam. the scope of control under applicable law due to not having a home office. However, it is a problem that needs to be solved in the near future…

However, this update is causing many iPhone users to face more serious problems. Apple’s iOS 14.5.1 update received a bad response. According to users’ feedback, the iPhone after updating to iOS 14.5.1 often exits the application suddenly while in use, the applications also load longer, the response of the device is also slower. The iOS 14.5.1 update is also said to be the cause of the iPhone 12’s performance loss of up to 60% through a series of tests on the Geekbench measuring tool, the iPhone 12 (iOS 14.5) reached 1,583 single-core points and 3,967 multi-core points. kernel, while the corresponding scores of iPhone 12 (iOS 14.5.1) are 1,478 and 2,339. Similarly, the scores on the iPhone 11 (iOS 14.5) are 1,318 and 3,019, while the iPhone 11 (iOS 14.5.1) is 794 and 1,271. The performance scores of the iPhone XR (iOS 14.5.1) are 1,105 and 2,085, while the iPhone 7 (iOS 14.5.1) is 728 and 1,291. Performance is even worse than the “old” elder brother iPhone XR born in 2018.

Industrial design students Minwook Paeng have just come up with a solution to make it easier to use your smartphone while on the road: the Third Eye robot eye. This is an eye-shaped robot that is fixed on the user’s forehead and detects obstacles in front of them when they use their smartphone on the road. This humorous device allows users to navigate while texting or surfing Instagram without worrying about being obstructed by real-world obstacles. This artificial eye has a translucent plastic shell, with internal components based on the open source electronic platform Arduino. It will be applied to your forehead with a thin gel pad. The device is integrated with a speaker and an accelerometer, which is a sensor commonly found on smartphones used to detect the orientation of the phone and automatically rotate the screen when necessary. The device is integrated with a speaker and an accelerometer, which is a sensor commonly found on smartphones used to detect the orientation of the phone and automatically rotate the screen when necessary. The accelerometer on the Third Eye detects when the user’s head is bent to open the plastic eyelid, revealing a sonar sensor. When detecting an obstacle ahead, the eye will emit a buzzing sound to signal the user. The use of mobile phones while crossing the street is increasing and affects public safety on the street. Even the city of Montclair in Southern California (USA) has introduced a law banning pedestrians from using phones or wearing headphones while walking across the street. First-time offenders will be warned, if they repeat the offense for the second time, they will be fined $100 (about 2.2 million VND), if they repeat the offense many times, the fine will be up to $500 (about 11 million VND). A scientific study has confirmed: people who use mobile phones will walk slower and even go sloppy. Due to paying attention to the phone screen so as not to type the wrong content or read the message correctly, the human observation ability will be narrowed, limiting the ability to detect obstacles and not avoid timely. As a result, accidents can happen whenever, for example, hitting other people or crashing into traffic. Please watch the video: Robot make in Vietnam knows how to do math. Source: VTV

Facebook has used Twitter to highlight new prompts that will appear for users who share content without reading the articles. The text of the prompt reads “You are about to share this article without opening it. Sharing articles without reading them could mean missing out on important information.” Users will have two options inside the Open Article and Continue Sharing prompts, respectively Open Article and Continue Sharing. Essentially, Facebook hopes the content is enough that some people will read the news stories before sharing them online, but Facebook says it won’t force them to access the articles. Users can still continue to share a post without reading it because Facebook and other social networks cannot force users to read content before sharing it with others. However, this feature could be beneficial in the long run as it will still deliver the core message that some Facebook users have not yet grasped to share online. It is essential that people fully grasp the story they want to share. Even if people choose to continue sharing without reading, they’ll know the same prompt will appear again every time they share content if they don’t click on the post. A simple way to avoid annoyance is to view the full article. It’s currently unclear if the feature will roll out to all Facebook users after initial testing, and how long it will take for Facebook to bring it to phones and web browsers. In fact, another social network, Twitter, tested the same feature last June before rolling it out to all users in September.

With Lost Mode enabled, AirTag will send out a signal to one of the billions of Apple devices around the globe, then send a notification about the user’s iPhone to they visit Apple’s location site (found.apple.com) so that users know the AirTag’s location. Researcher Thomas Roth recently shared a video of his work on AirTag’s performance and progress. Specifically, when the owner of AirTag turns on the loss of device notification, if an iPhone is near, the iPhone will be prompted to visit the page “found.apple.com”. However, with the affected AirTag, the iPhone displayed the researcher’s website. AirTag is a newly launched accessory from Apple Thomas Roth said he hacked into AirTag’s microcontroller, then “flashed” the component again to modify the device’s performance. It took hours to run and caused two AirTags to fail, before succeeding. However, to perform the hack shown by Thomas Roth is not easy, as hackers need to intervene directly in the AirTag without the user’s discovery. But this is proof that AirTag has been hacked and can intervene, similar to the form of “jailbreak” on the iPhone, which means that a device as compact as AirTag also poses a potential security risk. security, requires Apple to have solutions to enhance security on its device.

Unlike Elon Musk, the co-founder of Facebook doesn’t usually share his investments on his personal page. According to the Livecoins This is the first time Facebook CEO has posted content publicly, specifically referring to the name Bitcoin, the most expensive cryptocurrency in the world today. The latest post implies that Zuckerberg is interested in Bitcoin. Some have suggested that Mark wants to reverse the price of Bitcoin like Elon Musk is doing with Dogecoin and some cryptocurrencies, even though the billionaire has never confirmed an investment or bought Bitcoin. Zuckerberg’s post shared the names of two goats, Max and Bitcoin. Screenshots. In addition, combining the two words Max and Bitcoin in the name of Zuckerberg’s 2 goats to create Max Bitcoin. This is a term for a person who buys Bitcoins to increase their distribution in a portfolio (maximize Bitcoin). Zuckerberg seemed intentional by naming the goats Max and Bitcoin, but it could also be a coincidence. Another interesting thing is that the word GOAT (goat) in English stands for Greatest of All Time (greatest of all time). Originally Zuckerberg’s post was “My goats: Max and Bitcoin”, which could mean Max and Bitcoin are the names of two goats, or Max and Bitcoin are the two “greatest of all time” for Zuckerberg. Member kylelock8788 on the Reddit forum also pointed out Max in the name of journalist Max Keiser, who always made a statement in favor of Bitcoin. More and more companies are investing in Bitcoin. At the end of April, Korean gaming company Nexon said it bought 1,717 BTC with an average price of $ 58,226 / VND. Previously, Meitu, a popular photo-editing app developer in China, revealed that it spent $ 100 million on Bitcoin and Ethereum. In February, billionaire Elon Musk’s Tesla electric car bought $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin. The company then sells 10% of the Bitcoin to prove the cryptocurrency’s liquidity. In 2020, the price of Bitcoin increases by nearly 300%. From the beginning of 2021 until now, the price of the largest cryptocurrency in the world has continued to increase by 95%. In early April, Bitcoin peaked at $ 63,000 but then dropped below $ 60,000. According to the Coindesk Bitcoin price as of May 11 is over $ 56,000. The high cost of Bitcoin mining Since the advent of cryptocurrencies, the amount of electricity needed for mining has increased significantly. This leads experts to believe that mining cryptocurrency is not environmentally friendly.

I’m a pretty neat person. Furniture when going home like backpack, glasses, keys or wallet are stored in the correct tray in a box next to the door. Thanks to that, I rarely have to look for things that are important to me before going to work. However, no matter how neat I am, there are times when I lose my belongings. I dropped the wallet on an acquaintance’s car, and because the wallet fell into the slot under the seat, my friend couldn’t find it. Had it not been found by the car washer, I might have had to go over and over again. These are situations where a misplaced device like the AirTag comes in very handy. I was very excited when Apple introduced the AirTag, but it still has many inconveniences when it comes to real-world experience. Accessories “cheap” in the Apple way Excluding EarPods or chargers, AirTags is Apple’s cheapest standalone product. This accessory has a genuine price of about 800,000 VND, and if you buy a set of 4, the price is a bit lower. However, for many this will not be the final price to be able to use AirTag. The device has a round design and two sides are not flat, meaning it is difficult to secure in the compartment of a handbag. Leaving AirTag in your wallet just makes your wallet look good, while lowering your device’s notification volume. AirTag is also quite thick, so placing it inside thin wallets will make the wallet look up quite a lot. In addition, if the AirTag is placed in the wallet or compartment too thin, the efficiency will also decrease. The solution now is to buy a leather pouch. Although there are no prices in Vietnam, the genuine bags that Apple sells are priced equal to or several times higher than the AirTag itself (from 29-449 USD). Leather cases of craft units in Vietnam also cost about 200,000 VND or more. If you buy this accessory, the price of AirTag will be nearly 1 million dong. AirTag pairs very quickly with iPhone. Due to not being able to buy a holster in time, I used the “bare” AirTag, and immediately understood why a holster was needed. In less than a day of use, leaving this accessory in the backpack and wallet compartment, both the aluminum and plastic sides of AirTag have had scratches. Actually scratches will not affect the function of the device, but for those who require high looks, these are still the points to pay attention to. Well done the main function Connecting AirTag to iPhone is very simple. Just bring the accessory close, the machine will automatically recognize and the set-up takes only about 30 seconds. This is a big plus compared to other finder devices. To find items attached to AirTag, users have 3 ways. First, they can go to the Find My app, choose to show up on the map to see the last recorded location. If you are in the same apartment, you can press the speaker button to let the AirTag play the sound. The third method only applies to iPhone 11 onwards, allowing the display of the direction and distance to the nearby AirTag. The “exact find” function worked quite well, but still occasionally lost the signal. The Find My network with billions of devices running iOS is a huge advantage of AirTag. No need GPS or network connection, users can still find the AirTag when it is near any iOS device. Testing in city conditions, I found the position of AirTag on the map was quite accurate. The challenge will come when you want to find the AirTag nearby. The AirTag’s “speaker” is in fact the white plastic side of this device. When you select a sound feature, the plastic face vibrates to create sound. This sound is only enough to be heard in an apartment, when the background noise is quite small. If you search inside a multi-storey house, or assume your family member has the TV turned on quite loudly, you will be hard pressed to hear AirTag’s sound. This is why you should not leave AirTag inside your wallet too tight. At that time, the volume of AirTag emitted will be much smaller, reducing the efficiency when searching. The search when the AirTag is lost is quite effective, the address is accurate. The UWB wave precision search is also useful, but efficiency depends on the environment. When I tried to leave AirTag in the living room of a 2 bedroom apartment, the iPhone frequently reported “weak signal” when I went into one of the bedrooms. Only when the distance is less than 4 m, and there is no barrier between the iPhone and the AirTag, can the device be able to accurately indicate the distance and direction. Combining all 3 of these features, the ability to find lost items will increase significantly when attached to AirTag. However, there are still environments where AirTag is not very efficient, like in a large apartment, or in the middle of a crowded shopping mall. It is also not suitable if you want to leave it on your motorbike to look in the parking lot, as cheaper and louder accessories are available on the market. It would be disastrous if used the wrong way At launch, Apple stated that the AirTag was an accessory “to track things, not to track people”. The company also integrates a number of features so that users know when someone else’s AirTag comes with them. However, in practice these features all have vulnerabilities. The current AirTag can still be used to spy on others. The first way AirTag notices is sound. According to Apple, after “a while”, if an AirTag is separated from its host device, it will squeal to get attention. The company did not specify how long that period was. Just squeeze or stick the tape around the AirTag and the sound will be very soft. According to the Washington Post , it took three days since the last time away from the owner, the AirTag cried for about 15 seconds, and then rang every few hours. The 3-day period is quite a long time for AirTag owners to keep track of the places the victims visit. Besides, reducing the sound of an AirTag is not difficult. If you detect an AirTag that is not with the same account but has been nearby for a long time, the user’s iOS device will also pop up a message saying there is a strange AirTag. The victim can press play to find the strange AirTag, but cannot access the map or find the exact same as the official AirTag. However, in my hands-on experience carrying the strange AirTag all day, I never get a notification on my iPhone. Also, if the victim uses an Android phone, they won’t receive any notifications. AirTag uses the familiar CR2032 battery, sold in every watch shop. AirTag still has many vulnerabilities to be misused. That’s not to mention if the AirTag owner is spying on a relative and knows their iPhone’s password, that person can go into the Find My app and turn off notification when it detects a strange AirTag. Although Apple promises very well, AirTag can still be used as a tracking device for others. In the future, the company may update to reduce the alarm interval or adjust the notification feature. At present, AirTag still has many major vulnerabilities that can be exploited for the wrong purpose. Should I buy AirTag? If you are an iPhone user and forgetful, AirTag will be a very useful accessory, especially with important objects. The price of nearly 1 million is not high compared to the effort of redoing papers in your wallet, or hitting a car key. AirTag can be said to be a huge reason iPhone users continue to stick with Apple’s ecosystem. However, if you do not use an iPhone, there are many other options on the market, with prices as low as half the Samsung SmartTag or Baseus Intelligent T3.

Wallpaper set has 6 different designs, sold on the author’s website for about 6 USD for 2 designs. The wallpaper above is inspired by the Apple Face ID icon. When the battery is full, the wallpaper will be a smiling face with blue rings around. Conversely, tired face with red ring will appear when the battery is below 20%. In the charge state, the wallpaper becomes an unexpected face with golden rays of electricity. The first set of wallpapers with 3 shades designed by Ben Vessey. Ben Vessey also designed an apple-shaped wallpaper. Wallpaper will show apple (intact, not bitten in half) when full battery and apple core shape when battery is depleted, simple smiley face is between 20% – 100% battery and a frown face with battery short. All designs are very simple and easy to understand. Ben Vessey shared, the design of 6 smart wallpapers helps solve two main problems. One is that in case the user plugs the charger cord incorrectly so the phone will not recognize the battery, then with smart wallpaper, users will easily detect it. The second problem is that smart wallpapers will report low battery status. “When using the phone, our subconscious mind often ignores the low battery warning of the device. My designs will help users avoid that situation, ”shared Ben Vessey. The second set of backgrounds are highlighted with apples. Previously, according to predictions from some technology experts, the new-generation iPhone products can be equipped with Pro Motion technology, 120 Hz refresh rate and 15-20% lower power consumption than iPhone 12. Specifically, the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max models will be equipped with LTPO energy-saving screen technology. This screen technology has appeared on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Oppo Find X3 Pro. The LTPO display can automatically adjust the scan frequency based on the content being played. For example, when the user is playing games or watching action movies, the screen will increase the refresh rate to 120 Hz. When the user is not in use, the screen of the machine will automatically reduce the scanning frequency to lower, helping to save battery power. According to some leaked sources, Samsung and LG Display are in the process of converting production from LTPS to LTPO screens, which could be completed in the first half of 2021. However, there are opinions that capacity to make LTPO screens lower than LTPS because companies have to add some manufacturing processes.

In our testing, the iPhone 12 was the fastest app-loading iPhone in most cases, followed by the iPhone XR. The iPhone 11 is an end-to-end regular model. When Nick Ackerman opened Mortal Kombat, a heavy mobile game app, the iPhone XR suddenly opened the app faster than the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. Photo: Nick Ackerman According to Geekbench scores, iPhone 11 scores the worst. Specifically, the iPhone 11 has a single-core score of 794 points, while the numbers of the iPhone XR and iPhone 12 are 1,103 and 1,478 respectively. In the multi-core test, iPhone 12 suddenly rose to the top position with 2,435 points. The iPhone 12 score was 2,339, while the iPhone 11 was only 1,271. Photo: Nick Ackerman According to iDropNews, there could be many reasons for this. Since iOS 14.5.1 has only just been released, it is likely that there are still minor flaws that affect the performance of the iPhone 11 and 12, while having a positive effect on the iPhone XR.

Facebook will ask questions for users to choose what content they want to display on the New Feed or not. Photo: Facebook Facebook’s current mechanism is to prioritize displaying content from related things like friends, groups, and followed pages. The content displayed on the New Feed is based on how often you engage with the content or your friend’s choice of roles to get more content. However, this doesn’t mean that all of the content they post on Facebook wants to see. Many false information, sensational and divisive content to attract users to interact to increase the ability to make money or is provocative. This new Facebook algorithm will also be changed to recognize the date from the beginning of the feed. In addition, Facebook will ask users questions about different topics and see if they want to show up. This new mechanism will help show more content that people are interested in, topics that users reply that they do not want to see will be less visible. The change to the algorithm is partly affected by the violent events at the Capitol on January 16. Facebook has failed to control and prevent provocative content on its platform. Content like this should be controlled, limited and displayed according to the needs of users on the New Feed. This trial is only for a small group and it should kick off in the next month. However, one thing is not sure whether it will be applied globally or not only gender in a survey, but it is certain that this change will give users the choice of information to be displayed. display on your New Feed.

Hackers can obtain sensitive user’s information through the vulnerability in AirDrop. Photo: TU Darmstadt. “An attacker could obtain a user’s phone number and email through AirDrop,” the team said. “They just need to use a device with Wi-Fi capable, reach the target at close range to start the mining process by opening the sharing feature on iOS or macOS device.” According to the 9to5mac There are two steps in the mechanism of AirDrop action leading to this critical vulnerability. First, in order to provide users with the option “Contacts Only” in the AirDrop sharing feature, Apple devices silently collect information on devices within the connection range. To see if the “other party” is in the contacts list, AirDrop uses a mutual authentication mechanism, comparing the user’s phone number and email address with the entries in the address book. The device authentication step in the directory can be exploited to get information. Photo: Monica Chin. In the next step, data is exchanged for both parties. Despite encryption, Apple uses a relatively weak hashing mechanism. Security experts can decompile the hash using a simple technique like a brute-force attack. The team addressed the AirDrop vulnerability with a more secure approach, they named PrivateDrop. However, Apple did not move after being warned of the risk of personal information leaks and privacy breaches. In the immediate future, experts from the Technical University of Darmstadt advise users to protect themselves by disabling AirDrop discovery in the system settings and not opening the share menu. The detailed results of the study will be presented at the USENIX security Symposium taking place in August. Why does iPhone not have USB-C port? In the past 5 years, USB-C has become the suitable connector for a wide variety of devices such as Android phones, laptops and tablets. However, Apple still doesn’t make iPhones with USB-C ports.

Galaxy Upcycling at Home’s initiative Samsung was announced at the World Consumer Electronics Show 2021 (CES 2021) earlier this year and is now being tested in beta in several markets such as the US, UK and South Korea. This feature can alert you to the sounds of crying babies or turn on the lights when the light levels drop In this beta, Samsung will allow users to turn old phones into smart home devices that work through Samsung’s SmartThings app, which has two new modes: sound sensor and light sensor. Owners of certain smartphones can download the update to turn the device into a smart home sensor with some functions such as being able to detect the sound of a crying baby or turn on the light when it’s dark. The program is limited to certain smartphones released in 2018 or later. While it’s only recently applied to a few smartphones, it’s a good, accessible service that can help users make use of their old devices. Samsung says the sound sensor mode will help to accurately distinguish sounds in everyday surroundings, and users can choose to save certain recordings. For example, if the device detects sounds such as a baby crying, dog barking, cat sounding, or knocking on the door, it will send an alert directly to the user’s smartphone and the user can hear the sound. Be recorded. Whereas the light sensing mode simply turns your phone into a light sensor, allowing it to detect the level of sunlight or room light to automatically turn on the lights. Samsung says this update includes battery optimization needed to keep the phone powered up and acting as a sensor for long periods of time, though the company didn’t indicate uptime. between charges. Samsung says the “Galaxy Upcycling at Home” feature is available on all S, Note and Z series released in 2018 (S9, Note9 and above) running Android 9 or higher and will be available in the future. More smartphones are supported. Samsung’s upgrade program marks a very humble starting point, and the company can do more if it wants to limit e-waste and make old devices useful. So far, the program has only used microphones and light sensors on older devices. Hopefully in the future, Samsung will take advantage of the cameras of old smartphones to turn old smartphones into IP cameras. Phan Van Hoa (According to Arstechnica, Theverge)

The stone is mined from the quarry of the company, after grinding, grinding into stone 1-2. Preeminent magnetism of new building materials Being put into trial production since May 2018, up to now, the sand crushed source from stone has been promoting its superiority as well as attraction to the construction market. Mr. Mai The Tinh – Director of Phu Son Trading Company Limited (Nga Son District, Thanh Hoa Province) said: “With abundant raw materials from the limestone quarries in the province in particular, and grinding technology modern treatment of impurities before putting finished products on the market; The durability of buildings is also appreciated higher than natural sand, which is the advantages that this new building material shows. As an enterprise located in Nga Son district (Thanh Hoa), for a long time, the supply of natural sand for its construction works as well as the district market has faced many difficulties when the sand reserve in the host area. The weak point is that the salty sand can only be leveled, so it is largely limited in the construction works, to meet the demand, the construction sand has to be imported from other districts such as: Thieu Hoa, Ha Trung, Vinh Loc … Large transportation costs leading to higher costs make investment in construction face many difficulties. Mr. Tinh added: At the end of 2017, after field testing from some southern markets as well as abroad, the Company applied and invented a new investment in a production line of crushed sand from rock at a cost. only equal to 20% (about 20 billion VND) compared with the lines imported from abroad. Crushed sand products will contribute to help businesses create a closed production process. The stone is mined from the quarry of the Company after grinding, grinding finished products (stone 1-2), will be screened, classified and put into the system of crushers, small screening into sand. The next step, crushed sand will be put into the system of sedimentation tanks, wash and treat impurities before the finished product is sold to the market. In order to ensure the environment, during the production and grinding process, there is a dust misting system. The process of putting into sedimentation tanks, washing, stone dust will also be deposited and reused as bricks … Thus, the production of crushed sand will be very suitable for quarry mining enterprises, increasing the first choice. private businesses. Mr. Mai Van Nguyen – Production executive officer of Phu Son Trading Co., Ltd. said: With an output of 500m3 / day, the unit is providing for all projects and works on construction in Nga Son district. . In addition to the superiority of the product, with the automated process, only 2 workers to operate the line are contributing to reduce labor costs, reduce human labor, and lower product costs. Meanwhile, according to enterprises in Nga Son district, materials from crushed sand are the number one choice among many large construction projects as well as small construction needs. among the people. In addition to the durability of the project, sand crushed materials also help businesses, people reduce the cost of transfer, cost … Opportunities open for businesses Mr. Luu Van Hai – Head of Economic – Infrastructure Division of Nga Son district said: With the characteristics of the district bordering the sea, the sand reserve is mostly salty, the introduction of crushed sand in the area is contributing to solving the problems. difficulties for businesses in construction investment. In addition, the Provincial People’s Committee also encourages the use of crushed sand in construction works, so this source of construction materials is currently popular and popular. “One of the typical projects using crushed sand such as: The project to solidify the Hung Long canal, through the area of ​​Nga Son town, Thanh Hoa has been put into use and the durability has been proven over time”, Mr. Hai cited. Conduct sorting and put into the system of crushers, small screening into sand. However, in addition to the superiority in production as well as the durability of the buildings, the development of this building material source still faces some difficulties. Specifically, according to Mr. Hai, this new material source has not been disseminated, the number of units investing in the production line is not much, leading to the competition on product prices is not high. If it is soon popularized for construction investment and more widely, this new source of construction materials will be a gradually replacing material source for natural sand and gravel. Learning from enterprises, Mr. Nguyen Trong Cuong – Deputy Director of Nien Cuong Co., Ltd. (Nghi Son town, Thanh Hoa) exchanged: Currently, the source of crushed sand material has been one or two units in the area. production investment town. On the business side, crushed sand contributes to increasing investment choices, making use of raw materials in the mining process … However, Mr. Cuong cannot help but wonder when this product has not yet been popularized. , product cost is higher than natural sand, leading to difficulties and barriers in the selection of projects and works. According to research, the province has 2 grinding sand production lines with a capacity of 150 tons / hour of Phu Son Trading Co., Ltd. (Nga Son district) and Ha Lien Construction and Trade Co., Ltd. (Nong district). Drain). There are also a number of small production lines such as Nghi Son town … According to the construction material development plan to 2025, with a vision to 2035 of the province, crushed sand from stone will be developed in many areas. The mine sector is available with raw materials to supply the market, with a total expected capacity of 1.9 million m3 / year. This is considered an open opportunity for businesses in the province to invest and develop.

Regarding whether AirTags can be used to track people, my thoughts have gone through the following changes: “Cannot track iPhone users but can track Android users” –> “None can be tracked” –> “All can be tracked”

False perception

Apple stated at the press conference that if there is an AirTag that does not belong to you and moves with you, your iPhone will receive a notification and warn you.

So I thought at first that AirTags can’t track iPhone users, but it can track Android users.

After the press conference, Apple’s official website released AirTags instructions: if an AirTags is not with the owner for a period of time, when it moves suddenly, it will automatically make a sound so that Android users can also hear it.

So I thought AirTags can neither track iPhone users nor Android users, but I seem to be wrong again.

Real details

Fast Company interviewed two Apple executives, Kaiann Drance, vice president of marketing, and Ron Huang, senior director. This report revealed the following information.

1) Only iPhone users running iOS 14.5 or above can receive warning notifications that unfamiliar AirTags is tracking you. Users who don’t like to upgrade the system are easily tracked.

2)What is worrying is when the warning notice is issued: According to the interview in the article, AirTags will not notify users until they return home or arrive at certain locations. iPhone will automatically infer where your home is, open “Contacts-My Business Card”, it will show the location of your home it inferred here, or open “Settings-Privacy-Location Services-System Services-Important Locations”, it will also be here Shows the location of your home estimated by the iPhone and other places you frequently visit.

3)Does this mean that if I secretly stuff an AirTags into a stranger’s backpack, then I can know where TA lives?

4) When you come home and find someone using AirTags to follow you, the first thing you need to do is to find this AirTags, right?But you may not be able to find it.If you are more vigilant, click immediately after seeing the notification, the phone will automatically open the “Find” application, and display a play button, click it will let AirTags sound to help you locate, after finding it, remove the battery to terminate the tracking.

If you are unlucky and happen to run into AirTags and automatically change the ID, then you can’t let it play a sound. For your iPhone, the AirTags after changing the ID are not the same AirTags, so it will think that no AirTags are tracking you. Only when this AirTags follow you to the next location, the iPhone may re-issue a warning notification.

5) Why does AirTags automatically change ID? Because if your AirTags ID does not change, the anonymity of this AirTags cannot be guaranteed. This ID needs to be shared to unfamiliar iPhones around you via Bluetooth to help you locate AirTags. If your AirTags never update the ID, then hackers can save all the AirTags ID sent actively, and you can do something based on this ID in the future Bad things, such as scanning a circle to determine if other people’s AirTags are nearby.

6) But, didn’t it say that AirTags will automatically beep? Yes, but according to the interview:Only when AirTags have left the owner for 3 days, will they make a sound!

7)Does this mean that I can use AirTags to track an Android user for 3 days?Apple said that it may extend or shorten this time through software upgrades in the future.

to sum up

Apple needs to strike a reasonable balance in the three aspects of “protecting the owner’s privacy, protecting the privacy of others, and effectively tracking items.”

If AirTags would easily send warning notifications to unfamiliar iPhones passing by, there might be a new profession dedicated to stealing AirTags? Although AirTags has a so-called pairing lock, even if someone else gets it, it can’t be re-paired for him, but people always have a way to use it.

If AirTags make a sound easily, such as making a sound when the owner leaves the owner for 10 hours, then the owner goes to work and the family moves an item with this AirTags, which may also trigger the alarm mechanism, which can easily cause interference to the user.

In fact, trackers have existed for a long time, and we can even see news in the newspaper that xx people found their other half cheating through the trackers, but the trackers are very far away from the lives of ordinary people until AirTags is released.

Apple’s influence is great, and AirTags will be widely used. Apple’s balance of AirTags may give people a chance. I think it is necessary to let more people know the details of the working mechanism of AirTags and be careful to be tracked by AirTags.

Finally, if you find an item lost by someone else, there is an AirTags hanging on the item, then you can scan this AirTags with any NFC-enabled mobile phone. If this AirTags is turned on by the owner in Lost Mode, you will be able to find the other party after scanning. I hope you can help the other party retrieve the item.

Previously, Google was sued by the Australian Competition and Consumers Commission (ACCC), accusing the company of illegally collecting user location data via Android phones in 2017 and 2018. into two specific Google settings that affected the location data collection, “location history” and “web and app activity”. Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, USA Photo: theonlinecitizen.com Google once stated that it only collects information from the location history feature on users’ devices from January 2017 to December 2018. However, when users enable browsing and application usage controls, Google also allows Google to collect, store and use this data by default. Google hasn’t told users that they need to turn both of these features off in order to stop the company from collecting data. The April 16 ruling of the Australian Federal Court sided with the ACCC, claiming that Google violated Australian consumer laws by collecting location history of some users even when they refused to share information. believe. However, Federal Court Judge Thomas Thawley only partially agreed to the ACCC’s anti-Google lawsuit, arguing that not all consumers were deceived by Google. In the past, there have been many studies around the world showing that location data is still collected through Android and iPhone devices, even after users believe they have not allowed this. Advertisers need these valuable data to find ways to drive location-related sales and services. However, the Australian Competition and Consumers Commission (ACCC), the body suing Google, affirms that the above ruling is the first legal action in the world on this issue. According to ACCC Chairman Rod Sims, this is a major win for consumers, especially those concerned about privacy online. The court’s decision sent a strong message to Google and other tech firms that big corporations must not deceive consumers. This decision, he stressed, is an important step towards ensuring digital platforms clearly inform consumers about the intended use of data and what they need to do to protect this information. Regarding the Australian Federal Court’s ruling, Google said that the company is considering many options, including the possibility of a complaint. According to Google, the company has provided tight controls on location data, such as the option to automatically delete location history, making it easier for users to control the data. According to the ABC News source, with this lawsuit, Google could face a penalty of up to $ 1.1 million per violation. However, this is not the first time that Google has been sued for unauthorized collection of user locations. Previous lawsuits have accused the tech giant of tracking users through location, browsing behavior, and even collecting personal information from children without parental consent. .. Google has spent millions of dollars in the US alone on privacy fines, but this is not worth considering the giant’s annual revenue.

Through the Win32k vulnerability, hackers can gain access to your computer and have full control over the device, however, this requires user interaction. Security researcher Boris Larin at Kaspersky Labs said the vulnerability was exploited by a group of hackers called BITTER APT.
