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.

Who Was the Longest-Serving Cast Member on 'Saturday Night Live' Before Kenan Thompson?

Kenan Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member on Saturday Night Live, having been with the show for 19 seasons. Fans may recall him as a teen on All That, Kenan & Kel, and D2: The Mighty Ducks. Thompson is currently the show's oldest cast member. But the 43-year-old has no plans to leave, despite the fact that he is working on a number of other projects outside of SNL, including his NBC sitcom, Kenan. Kenan Thompson has been a member of the Saturday Night Live cast for 19 years. The audience expects a high turnover of cast members on a show like Saturday Night Live. This is because the show is frequently a watershed moment in a comedian's career.

Beyond recycled art projects, here are five reasons why you should teach about climate change this Earth Day.

 Beyond recycled art projects, here are five reasons why you should teach about climate change this Earth Day. When I taught fourth grade in New York City, I always assigned a traditional Earth Day project, instructing students to make art out of recyclable materials such as empty toilet paper rolls and tin cans. We planted seeds and went on nature walks around our neighborhood, and the kids made bird feeders and wind chimes. My objectives were for students to learn the value of recycling and to develop an appreciation for nature. As a parent of a kindergartener and a second grader in Chicago Public Schools, I've participated in countless of these projects with my own children. In recent years, I've come to recognize the importance of doing more to educate students about climate change, one of today's most pressing issues, thanks in large part to the local and global advocacy of young people. It's a great time to do it because it's Earth Day. The Earth is currently ...
