Reddit Launched Support HTTPS for all Pages

The Reddit launched support HTTPS for all pages using CloudFlare, a popular CDN service and DNS. The move means that all the users can now use encrypted connections when browsing the site. 

For those not familiar, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a secure communication protocol. Despite the name, however, is not technically a protocol of its own, as it consists of the SSL / TLS protocol with a layer of HTTP. 

All your communications today, including authentication credentials, and your most cookies, will not be visible to attack man-in-the-middle. 

This is due to the fact that the policy used by Reddit is to redirect any non-HTTPS requests containing your credentials to HTTPS. The company, however, says that this will not work for everyone, because it "can not force them to use client API, such as mobile applications or bots, or some older browsers, use this setting.

The nude photos of celebrities catapulted the share of Apple!

Can the loss of nude photos of beautiful women and famous as Jennifer Lawrence, Rianne, Ariana Grande, Kate Upton, Kim Kardashian and many others to be shocked on the other side of the Atlantic, but this does not apply to Apple itself. 
The stock of the company when it was announced that the issue has been resolved, jumped to a record 103, $ 74, an increase of 1%, despite the fact that the reported loss caused by the accounts of certain names in iCloud. 

According to the results of the internal investigation of the technology giant, which lasted 40 hours, this "targeted attack" exposed to risk accounts only some names but not detected signs of tampering on the storage system iCloud. 

A virus of 2009 has found the "backdoor" of the system 

The problem, according to experts presumably caused by the virus called "ibrute" who took a weakness in the "Find my iPhone". 

The iBrute created in 2009, when he lost 32 million usernames and passwords up to the creators to reach the 500 most common combinations that published in the particular websites. 

Probably, therefore, what they had achieved so far unknown hackers using virus was to find the appropriate codes constantly looking for new "solutions" possible to find a fair and gain access to personal photos of actors and other celebrities as well. 

E 'possible to use absolute immunity? 
As he wrote in Time magazine presents "the only effective way to protect yourself 100% on the internet is not to use it" But because we are in the 21st century and this is nearly impossible, experts conclude in five basic steps for protection. : 

  • Use unique passwords and different on all devices 
  • Use your choice of identification in two phases, if available. This option exists in iCloud from Apple, Google and Gmail, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft PayPayl. 
  • Turn off automatic "upload" photo. 
  • Especially for the iCloud the only safe procedure requires first of "close" a service for iPhone, namely the substance is not used. Then you need to delete the folder of photos from photos you do not want to be exposed. The next step is to "close" a pc in iCloud clearing these services does not want to "share" the internet. 
  • Turn the locking services on the mobile phone and the bills 

The operating system of the phone as well as companies such as Apple continually progresses "corrections" that protect against such problems.

Protect Nude pictures in the internet

The Cryptolocker is a ransomware known to have been used in many Internet attacks, at times, with the United States government to finally halt the activities of hackers.

However, a clone Cryptolocker has emerged called Cryptowall and has already been used in attacks that have already damaged thousands of computers.

Until now infected 625,000 computers have been committed by hackers amounted to 5.25 billion files, just like the Cryptolocker work, but with the difference that the Cryptowall can infect files on cloud servers such as Dropbox and Google Drive.

The way it works is that Cryptowall each file it infects, and it incorporates a different decryption key, so that only he knows the keys (ie the attacker) is able to unlock the current file.

This, in simple terms means that users unlucky to release their records should make Bitcons authors of the value of $ 500 in real money.

The techniques that activate the Cryptowall, varied as they may be through spam or through contaminated sites from which unsuspecting users download files carrying dangerous ransomware.

To protect users must install an antivirus program, a firewall to be turned on and be very careful with e-mails from unknown senders.

Some celebrities have spoken of fake photos, but some others have confirmed their authenticity.

Google is planning to build its own quantum computer
In collaboration with researchers at UCSB, as Google wants to build its own quantum computer, the investigation has to assume the lab Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab.

The team of researchers from UCSB and the responsible professor, John Martinis, are the group of Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab of Google created a year ago in collaboration with NASA and USRA.

H team of UCSB researchers have managed to create Xmons, which is cross-shaped qubits cooled to such a level that there is no electrical resistance and magnetic interference. The Xmons can be placed in series, so that they can communicate with each other in a positive impact on the computational power and beyond.

Finally, Google will continue to experiment with the machine Vesuvius Ames Research Center of NASA, which will be upgraded with the editor of Washington 1000 qubit.
