Nutzer erhalten bis Ende 2013 als Einstiegsangebot 10 GByte Speicherplatz kostenlos. Zahlende Kunden können bei Younited Pakete für 200 oder 500 GByte erwerben. Zudem hat F-Secure ehrgeizige Pläne, um das Angebot zu erweitern.
F-Secure hat mit Younited einen eigenen Cloud-Speicherdienst ins Leben gerufen. Mit ihm will das finnische Sicherheitsunternehmen Angeboten von Google, Microsoft und anderen US-Firmen Konkurrenz machen – und stellt daher den Betrieb in Finnland durch ein finnisches Unternehmen in den Vordergrund.

Security-SuperGAU für alle Nutzer von iPhones und iPads: Experten haben eine Lücke in iOS-Apps entdeckt, die es erlaubt, die komplette Kommunikation über fremde Server umzuleiten. Tausende Apps sollen betroffen sein.
Über HTTP Request Hijacking sollen sich Hacker in iOS-Apps einschleichen und so den Datentraffic über eigene Server umleiten können. Nach erfolgreichem Angriff soll die Umleitung dann permanent aktiv sein.

It’s about places, not about tracking
When we were building Lokki, we talked to countless people, teenagers, children and adults all over the world. Nobody really wants to be tracked — or track others. Thus, Lokki is about people, places and putting you in charge of your privacy.
Lokki sends you automatic notifications when family members or friends enter or exit certain places — but only if they decide to let you know. Plus you can hide your whereabouts whenever you want to go undercover, or just take a nap.

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.

Disconnect Kids is a fun and unique educational app that teaches children (and their parents) about online privacy. Disconnect Kids also actively blocks requests for data about your web-browsing and in-app activity from the biggest mobile tracking services.
