A few days ago, Fossbytes wrote about the list of the most popular (dumbest) passwords of 2016. You might be wise enough to consider a tough password for your devices and online accounts. But if you think that pattern lock is more secure than common passwords, your thinking will change after reading this story. According to a new research published on Phys.org , it possible to crack a smartphone’s pattern lock in around five attempts, after which the device gets locked. It is possible by recording a video of people entering pattern lock on their phone. The story isn’t as childish as it sounds. You’re not supposed to decipher the pattern from the video afterward. But a computer vision algorithm developed by the researchers – from Lancaster University, Northwest University of China, and the University of Bath – is assigned to do this task. The algorithm can work with an accuracy of more than 80 percent for complex patterns and crack them in 5 attempts. In fact, they were able to crack si...

Security researchers have discovered a new variant of the HummingBad malware hiding in more than 20 Android apps on Google Play Store. The infected apps were already downloaded by over 12 Million unsuspecting users before the Google Security team removed them from the Play Store. Dubbed HummingWhale by researchers at security firm Check Point, the new malware utilizes new, cutting-edge techniques that allow the nasty software to conduct Ad fraud better than ever before and generate revenue for its developers. The Check Point researchers said the HummingWhale-infected apps had been published under the name of fake Chinese developers on the Play Store with common name structure, com.[name].camera, but with suspicious startup behaviors. "It registered several events on boot, such as TIME_TICK, SCREEN_OFF and INSTALL_REFERRER which [were] dubious in that context," Check Point researchers said in a blog post published Monday.   The HummingWhale malware is tricky than HummingBad,...

Most people hate typing long messages while chatting on messaging apps, but thanks to voice recording feature provided by WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which makes it much easier for users to send longer messages that generally includes a lot of typing effort. If you too have a habit of sending audio clip, instead of typing long messages, to your friends over Facebook Messenger, you are susceptible to a simple man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack that could leak your private audio clips to the attackers. What's more worrisome is that the issue is still not patched by the social media giant. Egyptian security researcher Mohamed A. Baset told about a flaw in Facebook Messenger's audio clip recording feature that could allegedly allow any man-in-the-middle attacker to grab your audio clip files from Facebook's server and listen to your personal voice messages.

WhatsApp won’t be able to get away with its privacy policy changes so easily in India. India’s Supreme Court today sent a notice to the central government, telecom regulator TRAI, as well as Facebook and WhatsApp to address a petition that raises issues with WhatsApp’s move to share some user data with its parent company Facebook. Today's ruling by Chief Justice JS Khehar reignites the plea two students brought to the Delhi High Court last year. At the time, the Delhi High Court had directed WhatsApp to make two alternations to its then forthcoming policy changes. Chief Justice Khehar asked the petitioner why WhatsApp, a private company, should protect the privacy of a user. To which the petitioner, senior advocate Harish Salve, argued that WhatsApp with over 160 million users in India, has become a utility service and thus it needs to safeguard data and privacy of its users. "The Government of India should protect my rights under Article 19 (freedom of speech and expression)...

Most people believe that end-to-end encryption is the ultimate way to protect your secret communication from snooping, and it does, but it can be intercepted if not implemented correctly. After introducing " end-to-end encryption by default " last year, WhatsApp has become the world's largest secure messaging platform with over a billion users worldwide. But if you think your conversations are completely secure in a way that no one, not even Facebook, the company that owned WhatsApp, can intercept your messages then you are highly mistaken, just like most of us and it's not a new concept. Here's the kick: End-to-end encrypted messaging service, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, contain a backdoor that can be used, if necessary, by the company and of course hackers, or the intelligence agencies to intercept and read your end-to-end encrypted messages, and that’s all without breaking the encryption. And that backdoor is — TRUST . No doubt most of the encrypted messagi...

Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have come across a new Android Trojan that hacks routers and changes their DNS settings in an effort to redirect traffic to malicious websites. Dubbed “ Switcher ,” the malware has been disguised as an Android client for the Chinese search engine Baidu, and a Chinese app for sharing Wi-Fi network details. Once users install one of these apps, the malware attempts to guess the username and password of the Wi-Fi router the infected Android device is connected to. Switcher includes a list of more than two dozen username and password combinations that could allow it to access the router’s web administration interface, such as admin:admin, admin:123456, or admin:00000000 . “With the help of JavaScript it tries to login using different combinations of logins and passwords. Judging by the hardcoded names of input fields and the structures of the HTML documents that the trojan tries to access, the JavaScript code used will work only on web interfaces of TP-LINK W...
