ثغرة تهدد 95% من هواتف وأجهزة الأندرويد !


إكتشف خبير الأمن والباحث "جوشوا دراك" وجود ثغرات أمنية حديثة تهدد سلامة الأجهزة العاملة بنظام الأندرويد وتتيح للقراصنة التحكم في هذه الأجهزة عن طريق رسالة هاتفية.

وحذّرت شركة " زمباريوم" التي يشتغل فيها الخبير الأمني "جوشوا" أن هذه الثغرات موجودة في أزيد 950 مليون هاتف وجهاز يعمل بنظام الأندرويد حول العالم، وتحديدا تلك التي تعمل بالإصدارات رقم 2.2 إلى غاية الإصدار 5.1 التي تشمل إصدارات أندرويد KitKat و Lollipop.

وعثر الخبير الأمني على هذا الخلل الخطير الذي يكمن في وجود ثغرة في مكون رئيسي لنظام الأندرويد يسمى "Stagefright" موضحاً أن غالبية أجهزة الأندرويد إن لم نقل جميعها تحتاج لهذا المكون لتشغيل مختلف التطبيقات على النظام.

وحسب شركة "زمباريوم" فإن هذه الثغرات تسمح باستقبال رسائل MMS لتحميل مقاطع فيديو على أجهزة الضحية دون إذن منه حيث يتم فتح الرسالة و إجراء التحميل، و يتم من خلال هذه المقاطع تثبيت برمجيات خبيثة على الهاتف دون علم المستخدم، وكل ما سيحتاجه الهاكر هو رقم هاتف الضحية وسيقوم بإرسال الرسالة الخبيثة..وكما ذكرنا سيبقى الضحية شبه مكتوف الأيدي!

وأوضحت "زمباريوم" أن هذه الثغرة تصيب حوالي 95 % من الهواتف العاملة بنظام الأندرويد، أي ما عدده 950 مليون جهاز، ولم تحدد الشركة بعد حلولاً للحماية من خطر هذه الثغرات مضيفة أنه لم يتم الكشف عن إستغلال القراصنة لهذا الخلل لحد الآن.

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways The computers in Lumon's vast underground office, the megacorporation at the heart of Apple TV Plus' thriller Severance, are downright bizarre. They appear to be an old Mac at first glance, but the closer you look, the stranger they become. The CRT display functions as a touchscreen in some ways. The gorgeous blue keyboard is accompanied by a massive trackball. The goal, according to production designer Jeremy Hindle, was to create a device that doesn't make much sense, mirroring the purgatory-like world that exists only within Lumon's basement. "The idea was that anything you could see underground didn't exist anywhere up top," Hindle explains. "You'll never see that computer or keyboard again." This article contains minor Severance spoilers.  Severance is set in a world where a new procedure — the titular severance — allows workers to split their lives in half after undergoing mi...

How to Identify Content Marketing in Search Engine Results

 How to Identify Content Marketing in Search Engine Results When looking for reviews and guides, make sure you're not reading someone who has a vested interest in you purchasing their product. GOOGLE RESULTS ARE EVEN LESS USEFUL THAN BEFORE. It's all my fault. Okay, not completely. Until recently, I worked full-time for a software company, where I wrote articles aimed at ranking high in Google results, where they would receive millions of clicks.   This is becoming more common in your search results. It's called content marketing, and it falls somewhere between editorial content on sites like this one and outright advertising. Content marketing at its best combines a certain amount of useful information with something that serves specific marketing goals. At its worst, content marketing allows marketers to rank blatant sales pitches high in search results while also ruining your day. Whether you realize it or not, you are probably constantly interacting with search-based ...
