Two researchers at California Polytechnic San Luis Obispo have created an application for Google Glass that can spy on everything the wearer is looking at, without the knowledge of the user.
If you do insist on wearing Google Glass, then please make sure that you have protected your devices using a passcode, and be careful about what apps you install on your devices from unofficial app stores.
Chances are that there will be others out there, with more malicious intentions than Mike Lady and Kim Paterson, who will be interested in spying upon what Google Glass wearers are looking at.
Apple has quietly pushed out a security update to iOS, the operating system used by its flagship iPhone and iPad products.
And it's really important for your privacy that you update your iPhones and iPads as quickly as possible.
===> A shame then that Mac OS X doesn't yet have a patch... <===

With the pace of innovation of Internet-connected devices, experts are worried security will struggle to catch up. They are all impressive but "they're all breachable" said Kevin Haley, director of Symantec Security Response, while attending the huge high-tech trade show. "If the object is connected to the Internet, you will find it, and if it has an OS (operating system) you can hack it," he told AFP at the Las Vegas expo. Haley said the pace of innovation could outstrip the security protecting the devices. ===> "As we start to bring all this new stuff in our houses, we're going have to take some responsibility," he said. <===

Breathless headlines suggest that the NSA can snoop on everyone's iPhone, turn on your phone's camera and read all your messages.
But the story isn't quite as simple as that.
Utrecht, le 27 novembre 2013 - Selon une récente enquête de Kaspersky Lab, il existe de fortes probabilités qu’un nombre croissant d’utilisateurs Mac soient la proie de menaces d’Internet. 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.
Le nombre des propriétaires de Mac continue de progresser, et par conséquent l’intérêt des cybercriminels pour cette plate-forme s’amplifie lui aussi. Les virus informatiques, chevaux de Troie, astuces de phishing et autres menaces d’Internet visant cette plate-forme sont d’ores et déjà en circulation, en grands nombres qui plus est. Les utilisateurs sont ainsi tout aussi vulnérables que les utilisateurs de PC Windows.

Another day, another privacy vulnerability found in iOS.
When will Apple learn that a lockscreen should really, properly, lock the phone?

Two US security researchers have revealed how they hacked the computer system inside two popular models of car.
Further customizations of the Mac ransom pages discovered today shows the bad guys are busy updating their templates for each country's police force. ===> Not all countries currently have their own ‘theme’ but it is only a matter of time before the bad guys roll them out. <===

In May of this year, sophisticated attackers breached a large Internet hosting provider and gained access to internal administrative systems. The attackers appear to have been after customer record information such as usernames, emails, and passwords.
While these internal administrative systems had access to customer records, discovery of the attack and certain security implementations mitigated the scope of the breach. Customer passwords were accessible, but these passwords were hashed and salted making mass password cracking difficult. Customer financial information was also accessible, but encrypted. Unfortunately, access to the encryption key cannot be ruled out.
While breaches of organizations and mass customer record dumps are posted almost daily, this particular attack was more sophisticated than we have seen in the past.
Macs have never been that popular in business. But if Apple is indeed no longer supporting security updates for older Mac OS X versions, Macs won't have any place left in the enterprise office.
iPhones and iPads will be vulnerable until they get the iOS 7 update, which is scheduled for release later this year. Until then, you might want to avoid plugging into sleazy charging stations, tho...

Cupertino finally gives an explanation for the extended downtime of its developer website. After a weekend of outage and mysterious password reset emails, Apple has revealed the cause of the extended downtime of its developer website. ===> "Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website," Apple said in an email sent to developers. <=== While Apple claimed that the site's information was encrypted, and thus unable to be accessed, the company could not rule out that developer names, mailing addresses, or email addresses were not accessed during the incident.
