Die Macher der alternativen Suchmaschinen Ixquick und Startpage wollen E-Mail-Dienste mit Verschlüsselung anbieten. Die Konkurrenz heißt Posteo oder AikQ. Von T. S. Nagel
Gust MEES's insight:
Die großflächige Überwachung des Internets durch Geheimdienste hat viele Netznutzer aufgeschreckt. Manch einer sucht nun nach Wegen, sich ein Stück Privatsphäre zurückzuholen – diskrete Suchmaschinen wie DuckDuckGo oderIxquick, die Nutzerdaten weder speichern noch vermarkten, verzeichnen stark gestiegene Zugriffszahlen. Die Ixquick-Macher wollen dieses Modell bald auch auf den E-Mail-Verkehr ausdehnen.

Viele Nutzer verschleiern ihre eigentliche IP-Adresse und damit ihren Standort, indem Sie über einen VPN-Server ins Internet gehen. Die WebRTC-Implementierungen von Mozilla Firefox und Google Chrome plaudern aber die Adresse aus. In einer Demo zeigt Roesler, dass der öffentliche STUN-Server stun.services.mozilla.com dabei nicht nur die Adresse übermittelt, mit der man sozusagen am Ausgang des VPN-Tunnels zu sehen ist.. Er verrät auch die öffentliche Adresse, von der aus die VPN-Verbindung aufgebaut wurde. Wenn ein Webdienst solchen Code in seine Webseite einbaut, hat er ein weiteres Mittel, um trotz VPN herauszufinden, wo der Rechner des Benutzers steht. Zum Glück gibt es Abhilfe: Für Chrome gibt es die Erweiterung WebRTC Block. In Firefox kann der Benutzer in about:config den Wert media.peerconnection.enabledeinfach auf False setzen.

La quantité des logiciels malveillants ciblant les Mac a augmenté de 50% au cours des douze derniers mois. Pourtant, plus d’un tiers (35%) de tous les utilisateurs Mac pensent à tort être protégés contre les menaces numériques.

An app called InstLike promised free likes and followers on Instagram, but asked users to provide their usernames and passwords, turning them into a botnet.
Moreover, a user would get 20 free Likes if he used the hashtag #instlike_com in his own photo captions. A search on Instagram reveals that more than 500,000 photos already contain that hashtag.
All these features made InstLike a sophisticated ecosystem that employed thousands of voluntary "zombie" accounts — but it depended on their naiveté and willingness to give up their passwords.
For Narang, who is experienced in the realm of social media-based scams, the sheer volume of people involved is scary.

“While these apps make our lives easier, they also give a wider group of application developers and advertising networks the ability to collect information about our activities and leverage the functionality of our devices.
According to Hoffman, more concerning is that many apps collect information or require permissions unnecessary for the described functionality of the app. He says this is not the first time this issue has surfaced, with reports of popular apps collecting irrelevant information or transmitting data when devices are turned off leading to significant backlash.
