من جديد: ثغرة خطيرة تهدد نظام أندرويد !
بعد أيام قليلة على اكتشاف الخبراء الأمنيين لثغرة خطيرة في نظام أندرويد تدعى "Stagefright" و الي تهدد مئات ملايين الهواتف بهذا النظام الشيء الذي دفع سامسونغ و جوجل إلى الإعلان عن عزمهما القيام بتحديثات أمنية شهرية لأجهزتهما، من جديد تطفو على السطح ثغرة جديدة و ربما تكون أكثر خطورة.

و كان تم الإعلان خلال الأيام الماضية عن ثغرة Stagefright التي تهدد 950 مليون جهاز بنظام أندرويد، لكن يبدو أن الأمر لن يتوقف عند هذا الحد، حيث كشفت الشركة الأمنية "Check Point" عن ثغرة جديدة في نظام أندرويد خلال مشاركتها في المؤتمر الأمني المقام حاليا Black Hat 2015، حيث أشارت الشركة أن الثغرة الجديدة تستهدف عددا من هواتف كبار المصنعين في هذا المجال.

الثغرة الجديدة تحمل إسم "Certifi-gate" و تستغل عن طريق بعض التطبيقات الخبيثة للوصول إلى الصلاحيات المميزة للمستخدم حيث يستغلها الهاكرز في الحصول على بيانات المستخدم بالإضافة إلى الوصول إلى موارد الجهاز عن طريق تشغيل الميكروفون مثلا و تسجيل محادثات المستخدم و غيرها من الطرق.

شركة Check Point أكدت أنها أعلمت الشركات المعنية بالأمر بهذه الثغرة و هم على وجه الخصوص: إل جي، سامسونغ، HTC و ZTE في انتظار تحركهم السريع من أجل إطلاق تحديثات أمنية لطرازات الهواتف المعنية بثغرة Certifi-gate.

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...

‘Stranger Things’: “War Is Coming” As Netflix Releases Season 4's First Trailer Eleven lost her powers at the end of Stranger Things' third season, and they don't appear to have returned in the first trailer for the Netflix supernatural drama series' long-delayed fourth season. "War is coming," the Mind Flayer warns in the trailer, which shows the chaos that Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven, Noah Schnapp's Will Byers, Finn Wolfhard's Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo's Dustin Henderson, and Caleb McLaughlin's Lucas Sinclair, as well as the rest of Hawkins, Indiana, will face in the upcoming season. Promising that "every ending has a beginning" – a nod to the recent announcement that season five will be the show's final season – and depicting the cast attempting to be as normal as possible, their nemesis adds, "You've broken everything... your suffering is almost over."
