Fortinet Continues Commitment to Cyber Skills Gap Though its NSE Institute Training and Certification Program

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Tue, 07 May 2019 23:51:00 +0000

With nearly 200,000 certifications awarded globally, Fortinet expands offerings and rolls out additional certifications, education and training initiatives

Taguig City Philippines, 3 May 2019

News Summary:

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced it continues to lead the way on training and educationin the company’s ongoing efforts to close the cyber security skills gap by rolling out even further expanded training and education initiatives. Recent additions to the company’s education and training programming includes additional Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) Institute cloud certifications and the offering of its cyber security awareness training –at no cost – for individuals or organizations seeking to deploy a cyber security awareness training program.

The cyber skills gap

A 2019 Gartner survey shows the global talent shortage is now the top emerging risk facing organizations. The expansion of the digital marketplace has generated more jobs than the current supply of security professionals can meet. A problem of scale; there is currently not an efficient way to create skilled security practitioners at the same rate. Unfortunately, there are not enough skilled humans available to properly plan, manage, integrate, and optimize security devices, strategies, and protocols. For example, according to a recent workforce development survey, 59% of organizations have unfilled cybersecurity positions, with Frost & Sullivan forecasting a shortfall of 1.5 million by 2020.

Fortinet continues commitment to bridge the cyber skills gap

In today’s global cybersecurity threat landscape, education is crucial to the success of organizations. Creating and executing a strategy with a wide scope can be a daunting task, but this is precisely the mandate and strategy of the Fortinet NSE Institute. The Fortinet NSE Institute was created to provide broad-based training that arms participants with a foundational understanding of the threat landscape, as well as the cyber security fundamentals and skills to implement strategies and technical concepts that are in high demand.While the Institute’s flagship NSE Training and Certification program has issued nearly 200,000 certifications, it is equally focused on education programs such as the Fortinet Network Security Academy program for high schools, colleges and universities, the FortiVets program that facilitates the transition of exceptional military veterans into the cybersecurity industry by providing professional networking, training, and mentoring, as well as free publicly available awareness training that can be accessed by any company wishing to deploy an internal cyber security awareness program for employees.

Cyber security training & education milestones:

· There are now over 140 academies in more than 50 different countries.

· Fortinet has provided nearly 200,000 NSE certifications, building a skilled workforce that will be recognized in the industry as an elite group of security professionals.

· The company recently made public cyber security awareness trainings NSE 1 and 2, whereby these free offerings are now available to the public at large. For example, any Security Operations (SecOps) team seeking to deploy a cyber security awareness training program now has an easy and no cost way to get started.

· Fortinet introduced the NSE 7 Cloud certification, consisting of two training courses, “Public Cloud Security” and “Private Cloud Security,” and are both being offered as part of the training schedule at this year’s Fortinet Accelerate conference, held in Orlando from April 8 – 11, 2019.

· During the past year, the number of NSE8 certifications awarded has doubled, a certification designation that identifies a candidate’s comprehensive knowledge of network security design, configuration, and troubleshooting for complex networks.

· The Fortinet Fast Track Program, launched at the company’s 2018 Accelerate conference, now has over 8,000 participating partners.

· There has been an average of 300 – 600 student sessions around the world per week, based on recent company data.

“This unprecedented shortage in the cyber security workforce has resulted in security operations teams who are over worked and understaffed and it continues to benefit our cyber adversaries. Fortinet is more than a technology company; we’re also a learning organization. Fortinet is dedicated to closing the cyber skills gap and goes well beyond providing training on products and solutions as part of our commitment to deliver a response to the growing global cybersecurity threat.” - Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO at Fortinet.

Addressing the skills gap at scale

In addition to the established company-led training and education programs, a comprehensive training and education strategy must include strategic partnerships within government, academia and NGOs, such as Fortinet’s strategic relationships with organization such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its Centre for Cybersecurity, the Global Threat Alliance, CompTIA, and various university research programs. Fortinet will continue its efforts to broadly and globally collaborate, innovate and develop powerful global solutions to reduce global cyberattacks, contain current and future cyberattacks, and deter cybercrime.

Walnut V2s Digital Audio (FLAC/MP3/etc) Players (DAPs AND DAC) Review

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 07:54:00 +0000

Walnut V2s WAV Player by wt

General InformationReviews

Pros - Crisp sound - Gobs of power on tap - Can be used as just an amp
Cons - Low volume channel imbalance - Slightly grainy upper-mids and treble

Today we're going to be taking a look at a basic DAP/AMP, taking form in the Walnut V2s.

Sometimes all you want is a straightforward, simple to use player. One that's low on features and frills, doesn't take a massive chunk out of your wallet, and doesn't skimp on sound quality. The Walnut V2s does all of this quite well.

Let's check out ,

At the time of this review the V2s retailed price range P1, 000 to P1, 080 available at Shopee ships from overseas.

Specifications:

Supported Formats: FLAC, APE, WAV, MP3
Battery: 1,500 mAh lithium
Battery Life: 15 h
Amp Power Supply: 16v
Drive Capacity: 15-300Ω
Storage: Sd card 32gb max
Can copy files from pc.

More Stuff: Output Uses Elna SILMICII silk capacitor; Input uses EIna Black-neg; Can act as standalone amp if you want

Packaging and Accessories:

A simple device needs a simple package and accessory kit to back it up. In the case of the V2s, you get a plain cardboard box free of any designs or branding and a Micro USB and IC cable. No manual, free black case and pouch. That's it.

Build and Design:

My first thought upon seeing the V2s was that it looked old. Cool, but old. I love the black and while color scheme with cursive writing explaining the function of the five buttons on the face and input/outputs peppered across the unit.

In hand the aluminum shell feels very solid and durable, able to take a kicking from even the most careless of owners. The front and rear plates look to be made of the same PCB material used to make circuit boards. While it doesn't look impressive from a fit and finish perspective, it's a functional and tough as nails material. The only part that feels even remotely fragile is the long, slender power switch out back.

While the V2s is a little thick and weighs about as marlboro lights , it's still small enough to be pocketable. Unless you wear skin tight skinny jeans. That's probably not going to work.

I like it on my pocket because you can press all control inside your pocket without taking out, like skipping songs or folder.

Overall the build and design is more about function over form. The unit feels good in hand with controls that are easy enough to access and understand, so much so it doesn't take long to learn to control it without looking at what you're doing.

Ease of Use, Controls, and EQ:

Once you figure out the V2s' intricacies, it's a very easy to navigate player. However, figuring out it's functions is learned either through trial and error, or online in the forums. Here is what I can share about the controls based on information found on Head-fi, and my own experiences.

Prev: Press once to return to the start of the track. Press twice to skip to the previous track. Hold to prompt the "Last Folder" queue, and hold again to actually skip to the last folder.

Stop: Press once to stop music from playing. Hold to delete the current track.

Next: Press once to skip to the next track. Press and hold to prompt the "Next Folder" queue, and hold again to actually skip to the next folder.

Mode: Press once to let the player run through a single cycle of everything on the memory card. A second press plays everything on random. A third press turns all that off and just plays your tunes in the order loaded on the memory card. Hold down the button to lower the volume digitally.

EQ: Press once for the "Rock" setting. Press twice for "Pop". Press three times for "Classical". Press a fourth time for "Jazz". Hold down to increase the volume digitally.

I found the EQ settings to make a pretty noticeable difference in the presentation.

Rock - increases treble and mid-presence, thins out the sound and improves separation, reduces overall bass quantity; overall a nicely balanced setting that works well with most music

Pop - significantly reduces treble presence and pulls back the mid-range while boosting mid-bass quantity; not a fan of this with anything but extremely bright earphones or headphones as it makes the V2s sound veiled and muddy

Classical - thins out the sound even more than on the 'Rock' setting, adds even more treble, and reduced bass presence even more; not a fan as it is too clinical, sucking out any emotion and impact a track may have had

Jazz - Much like the 'Rock' setting but with a more forward mid-range, more impactful bass, and further improved clarity nearing what the "Classical" setting outputs; my favorite EQ of the bunch and what I left the player on the majority of the time.

BONUS : by removing sd card and pressing EQ you can. Activate the Bluetooth function super short range, because it has no antenna but can be fix by modding and add antenna.

Can be modded: Yes
You can change the Capacitors ( caps from Gigabyte Mother board are good, if you have scrap mobo tips from Mark Ernan).

New stocks are upgraded to Nik on FW gold capacitor series makes the sound softer or gentle. Luckily i got the upgraded version and English version

Op Amp roll, you can change the stock OP amp 8 pin or Dp8 ( if you don't have idead see pics) you can buy op amp DP8 online (Lazada, Shopee or Ali Express)

I like OPA1622 sounds better SQ than Stock NE5532P.. Still want to upgrade to Burson v5iD 😜. Yeah why not..

Customs case, i got my Team Crystal Ship (Version 3.0) V2s on a fully modular and vented clear acrylic case. Reinforced with brass and stainless hex screws case from CryBaby Customs.

You can connect it too on computer and make it a USB external soundcard, can copy files from computer to ur sd card.. No problem on Windows 7 and Windows 10 for me. If you have low quality or low volume laptop sound card this one is good amp.

I like better than my phone.. Boost volume for me.
Awkward moment when guard maken sita of me. Ano pinipindot pindot mo, and I say mp3 po.
Let them think that way, but never tell a boomb joke in public. Kasi naman nasa pinas tayo baka makulong kapa 😅..

How Epson printers are powering up local business in the Philippines

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 07:37:00 +0000

So dependent have we become on electricity, imagining a world without it is an almost impossible task.

It gives us light, protects our food, powers our cars, banks and hospitals, and connects us to friends and family. It is nothing less than the beating heart of our civilisation.

As the Citet Department Manager for the Northern Negros Electric Cooperative (Noneco), an electricity provider based in Negros Occidental, Philippines, Engineer Paulino Almedilla understands this only too well.

“Electricity is an essential element of everyday life here,” he says. “It lightens the burden of household chores and fuels the development of industry, which helps to provide jobs and economic stability. Without it, no progress can be made.”

Unfortunately, a steady supply of electricity is far from guaranteed in the Philippines. Power outages regularly bring cities to a standstill, slamming the brakes on trade and stripping cities of light and movement.

It’s an experience shared across Southeast Asia – one that is indicative of a regional infrastructure shortfall that the Asian Development Bank estimated in 2017 required US$3.5 trillion of investment to bridge[1].

The unreliability of the broader regional power supply throws Noneco’s achievements into sharp relief. The company has provided Northern Negros Occidental with reliable and affordable electricity since 1963.

According to Engr Almedilla, the stable supply is increasingly turning the heads of investors.

“More and more businesses and shopping malls are moving into the area – and many of them have told us that the reliable power supply was a major factor in their decision to do business here,” he says.

Noneco succeeds where others so often fail because its employees are engaged in their work, and provided with the tools they need to deliver electricity as efficiently and affordably as possible.

Epson’s TM-P80 is a case in point.

Noneco recently made the decision to equip its meter readers with the lightweight and durable mobile printer so that it could dramatically improve its customer experience by printing utility bills for customers immediately after reading their electricity meter, an ambition made possible by the machine’s best-in-class 100mm/sec printing speed.

The TM-P80 only weighs 500 grams, which means that Noneco employees can carry it with them at all times, wherever they go. More impressive, though, is the printer’s industry-record 33-hour battery life, says Jonathan B. Garrido, Noneco’s ITDM Senior Supervisor.

“The extended battery life means that our meter readers can go about their work without having to worry about whether the printer might stop working,” he says.

“The units are able to run all day, wherever we take them. They’re also noticeably faster than our previous printers, and offer more consistent, higher quality printing. Additionally, there is less downtime with fewer malfunctions due to the reliability of the printers,”

Easily paired with smart devices via NFC, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the printers have been a huge shot in the arm for the company’s productivity, says Almedilla.

“Our previous printers were unreliable and slow, but the TM-P80 often finishes printing bills before our customers even realise what the machine is doing,” he says, with a chuckle.

“With the automated meter reading and bill printing process, the printers dramatically reduce the time we spend at our on-site meter readings, which means we can spend more time and resources on maintaining our infrastructure, training our staff and developing new ways to reduce our customers’ energy bills.”

Noneco can also push their printers to their limits as Epson has a service center in Bacolod City, which means problems can be fixed in a timely manner.

“The nearby service center provides us with peace of mind as it means we have access to great after-sales service and ensures any problems are dealt with quickly,” says Almedilla.

“It’s just one more reason why we hope to expand our network’s use of Epson printers – further evidence that Epson can be a reliable partner in helping us power up the development of Northern Negros Occidental.”

The road towards economic prosperity in Negros Occidental certainly won’t be paved overnight. It’s a big task that will require the joint efforts of industry, government and society. But, as Almedilla understands, Epson will be there every step of the way, focusing on the details, safe in the knowledge that they are what make all the difference.

Because, if ever there were a cause worth fighting for, building a bridge to economic prosperity is it.

Better than laser: Why Business Inkjet Printers with RIPS are for keeps

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 14:10:00 +0000

In today’s modern workplace, tackling a huge printing requirement becomes easier with the myriad of business printers available in the market. These printers are equipped with advanced technologies, which make it faster to complete their day-to-day office work.

Among these cutting-edge technologies is the Replaceable Ink Pack System (RIPS), which is now integrated in some Business Inkjet printers. This technology is designed to provide the ease-of-use of a cartridge-based system combined with the high volume printing of an ink tank printer.

But the question now is—how can Business Inkjet Printers with RIPS really help organizations improve their business operations?

High productivity

For businesses with huge printing requirements, speed and page yield are crucial to ensuring productivity. With RIPS, printing is made even faster and more convenient since it has a far higher volume of ink compared to traditional cartridges.

A regular inkjet printer can produce eight to 10 pages per minute (ppm), while an inkjet printer with RIPS can produce up to 100 pages per minute and more than 75,000 pages before timing out.

For a better perspective, Epson’s WorkForce Pro WF-C869R with RIPS can print up to 86,000 pages in black and 84,000 pages in color without interruption. Equipped with PrecisionCore technology, this inkjet printer has no warm-up time, allowing for a first-page-out time of fewer than six seconds, as well as default print speeds of up to 24ipm and draft speeds of up to 35 ppm for both black and color prints.

Epson WorkForce Pro Business Inkjet Printers also operate like laser printers since the PrecisionCore technology allows the paper to move around a stationary or fixed printhead. Unlike regular inkjet printers, which utilize a single printhead commonly embedded in the ink cartridge, RIPS printers employ 11 printheads clustered together side by side.

All of these 11 printheads ensure that the device can print excellently and more efficiently. It also eliminates the issue of using the conventional printhead and cartridge arrangement, which forces the users to replace both once the ink cartridge is empty.

PrecisionCore also has up to triple the nozzle density of conventional Epson piezo printheads. These nozzles are roughly 20 microns in diameter and deliver small, round, repeatable dots about 40 microns across. This dot precision is particularly important for creating sharp text and fine lines.

Scalability

Aside from quality printouts, Epson Business Inkjet Printers with RIPS are also developed to tackle the complex paper-handling demands of businesses. With its flexibility features, each unit can handle different paper sizes and types.

Epson RIPS printers can be upgraded to include more paper cassettes. For instance, WorkForce Pro WF-C869R comes with a rear feed slot, which can handle up to 85 sheets, as well as two cassettes, which can handle 250 and 500 sheets, respectively.

The users may also opt to upgrade the unit and include two more optional cassettes, each can handle 500 sheets, and an additional cabinet placed at its bottom part.

Overall, each unit’s total input capacity can be scaled up to 1,835 sheets, depending on the business printing requirements of the user.

Cost-efficiency and minimized consumable wastes

The most engaging advantage of Business Inkjet Printers with RIPS is the fact that it costs less to operate and produces lower wastage.

With ink refills supplied in soft foil packs, businesses can recycle more efficiently and are spared from the hassle of arranging the disposal of cartridges. This means that it is easier for organizations to demonstrate their conservational efforts and improve the sustainability of office printing that will leave a smaller carbon footprint.

Furthermore, Inkjet RIPS printers, such as the Epson WorkForce Pro Business Inkjet Printers, use no heating elements and consume less energy than laser printers, which in turn reduces the running costs. And since they have a simpler mechanism with fewer periodic replacement parts, they require less effort for maintenance and with less downtime in business operations.

Now more than ever, businesses have the freedom to boost their operations by utilizing the accessibility, reliability, and high-quality attributes of their inkjet printers. And with game-changing inkjet technologies like RIPS, these tools become even more efficient in cutting costs and mitigating environmental impacts.

Email-based Cyber Attacks Continue to Target Users in Philippines

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 01:35:00 +0000

Cybercriminals use social engineering techniques to trick users into providing login credentials, initiating fraudulent transactions or unknowingly install ransomware.

TAGUIC CITY, PHILIPPINES, 25 Sep 2018 - Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, today remind corporate users in Philippines that email remains one of the most vulnerable vectors targeted by cybercriminals. The cyber-attacks are likely to happen to organizations that have yet to implement strong email security controls and best practices.

According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations report, two-thirds of installed malware are actually delivered by email. To gain access into an organization’s network, cybercriminals often use phishing or social engineering techniques in emails, thus counting on human error or a lack of cybersecurity know-how to trick users into providing login credentials or initiating fraudulent transactions, as well as to unknowingly install malware, ransomware and other malicious payloads.

“Due to the ubiquity of email, it continues to be a common attack vector for cybercriminals seeking to steal login credentials, money, and sensitive data.” Said Mario Luis Castaneda. “The top email-based cyberattacks carried out by cybercriminals today include phishing or spear-phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities. Companies must therefore ensure they have strong security controls in place to detect and prevent these e-mail attacks.”

To help ensure email security, Fortinet’s cybersecurity experts advised users to:

1. Filter Spam. Because most email scams begin with unsolicited commercial email, one should take measures to prevent spam from getting into the mailbox. Most email applications and web mail services include spam-filtering features, or ways in which email applications can be configured to filter spam.

2. Regard Unsolicited Email with Suspicion. Don’t automatically trust any email sent by an unknown individual or organization. Never open an attachment to unsolicited email. Most importantly, never click on an unknown link in an email. Cleverly crafted links can take users to forged web sites set up to trick them into divulging private information or downloading viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

3. Treat Email Attachments with Caution. Email attachments are commonly used by online scammers to sneak a virus onto computers. These viruses can help the scammer steal important information from the computer, compromising the computer so that it is open to further attack and abuse, and convert a computer into a ‘bot’ for use in denial-of-service attacks and other online crimes. As noted above, a familiar “from” address is no guarantee of safety because some viruses spread by first searching for all email addresses on an infected computer and then sending itself to these addresses.

4. Install Antivirus Software. Users should install an antivirus program that has an automatic update feature. This will help ensure users to always have the most up-to-date protection possible against viruses.

5. Install a Personal Firewall and Keep it Up to Date. A firewall will not prevent scam email from making its way into users’ mailbox. However, it may help protect users should they inadvertently open a virus-bearing attachment or otherwise introduce malware to their computer. The firewall, among other things, will help prevent outbound traffic from a user’s computer to the attacker. When a personal firewall detects suspicious outbound communications from a user’s computer, it could be a sign that the user has inadvertently installed malicious programs on his computer.

Epson establishes new Sales Subsidiary in Vietnam

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 05:20:00 +0000

There is much potential for growth in the country, especially with a GDP forecast of at least 6.5 percent in 2018,” said Nakamura. “We look forward to rolling out new Epson products in our four key areas of innovation, such as the inkjet, visual communications, wearables, and robotics.”

“Vietnam’s printer market is currently dominated by laser printers. However, there is extensive scope for growing sales by emphasizing the advantages of our high-capacity ink tank printers. Epson Vietnam will play an important role in developing this promising market,” Nakamura added.

As a market leader, Epson will continue offering unique value and solutions to its customers in the said region through the new Epson Vietnam office. It is located at Nguyen Trai Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Top 10 Wifi Hacking Tools in Kali Linux

Kali Linux is now available on Windows 10 Microsoft App Store

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 00:11:00 +0000

Kali Linux, a very popular, free, and open-source Linux-based operating system widely used for hacking and penetration testing, is now natively available on Windows 10, without requiring dual boot or virtualization.

Kali Linux is the latest Linux distribution to be made available on the Windows App Store for one-click installation, joining the list of other popular distribution such as Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and SUSE Enterprise Linux.

In Windows 10, Microsoft has provided a feature called "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (WSL) that allows users to run Linux applications directly on Windows.

How to Download and Run Kali Linux on Windows 10

Installation is similar to Ubuntu Bash on Windows.

Turn ON "Developer Mode" via Settings → Update & security → For developers, as this new feature is specifically meant for developers.

If this is your first time using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you need to enable this optional Windows feature before getting the Kali Linux app.

Follow these simple steps to enable WSL:

Navigate to Control Panel and go to "Apps and features"
Select "Programs and Features" from the right panel
Click the "Turn Windows features on or off" from the left menu
Select the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" and save it
Reboot your system

You can even do the same by opening PowerShell as Administrator and running the following command and restart your computer.

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Now search for Kali Linux on Windows Store, download it with just a single click. Once you launch the application, it automatically completes Kali installation and will open the console window.

Kali Linux on Windows does not come with any hacking or penetration testing tools pre-installed, but you can easily install them later.

It should be noted that your Antivirus application or Windows defender can trigger false-positive warning for hacking tools and exploits, but you need not worry about it.

Microsoft is following its commitment to the open source community. In 2013, the company launched Visual Studio, and a year later, it open-sourced .NET. In 2015, Microsoft open-sourced the Visual Studio Code Editor, as well.

NanoCore RAT Creator Arrested Gets 33 months in Prison

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 02:35:00 +0000

Taylor Huddleston, 26, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, pleaded guilty in July 2017 to one charge of aiding and abetting computer intrusions by building and intentionally selling a remote access trojan (RAT), called NanoCore, to hackers for $25.

Selling a remote access trojan that helped cyber criminals—has finally been sentenced to serve almost three years in prison.

Huddleston was arrested in March, almost two months before the FBI raided his house in Hot Springs, Arkansas and left with his computers after 90 minutes, only to return eight weeks later with handcuffs.

This case is a rare example of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) charging someone not for actively using malware to hack victims' computers, but for developing and selling it to other cybercriminals.
Huddleston admitted to the court that he created his software knowing it would be used by other cybercriminals to break the law.
He initially started developing NanoCore in late 2012 with a motive to offer a low-budget remote management software for schools, IT-conscious businesses, and parents who desired to monitor their children's activities on the web.

Huddleston marketed and sold the NanoCore RAT for $25 in underground hacking forums that were extremely popular with cybercriminals around the world from January 2014 to February 2016. He then sold ownership of NanoCore to a third-party in 2016.

NanoCore RAT happens to be popular among cybercriminals on underground hacking forums and has been linked to intrusions in at least ten countries. Among the victims was a high-profile assault on Middle Eastern energy firms in 2015.

Huddleston also agreed with prosecutors that NanoCore RAT and available third-party plugins offered a full set of features including:

Stealing sensitive information from victim computers, such as passwords, emails, and instant messages.
Remotely activating and controlling connected webcams on the victims' computers in order to spy on them.
Ability to view, delete, and download files.
Locking infected PCs and holding them to ransom.
Using infected PCs to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on websites and similar services.

In July plea, Huddleston also took responsibility for creating and operating a software licensing system called "Net Seal" that was used by another suspect, Zachary Shames, to sell thousands of copies of Limitless keylogger.

Shames used Net Seal to infect 3,000 people that were, in turn, used it to infect 16,000 computers, according to the DoJ.

In his guilty plea, Huddleston admitted that he intended his products to be used maliciously.

Besides the 33-month prison sentence handed down by judges on Friday, Huddleston also gets two years of supervised release.

Egyptian Security Researcher has Discovered How to Reveal Admins of Facebook Pages

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 02:15:00 +0000

Facebook Page admins are publicly displayed only if admins have chosen to feature their profiles.
However, there are some situations where you might want to contact a Facebook page admin or want to find out who is the owner of a Facebook page.

Egyptian security researcher Mohamed A. Baset has discovered a severe information disclosure vulnerability in Facebook that could have allowed anyone to expose Facebook page administrator profiles, which is otherwise not supposed to be public information.
Baset claimed to have discovered the vulnerability in less than 3 minutes without any kind of testing or proof of concepts, or any other type of time-consuming processes.

In a blog post, Baset said he found the vulnerability, which he described as a "logical error," after receiving an invitation to like a particular Facebook page on which he had previously liked a post.

Facebook has introduced a feature for page admins wherein they can send Facebook invitations to users asking them if they wished to like their page after liking a post, and a few days later, these interacted users may receive an email reminding them of the invitation.

After Baset received one such email invite, he simply opened "show original" drop-down menu option in email. Looking at the email's source code, he noticed that it included the page administrator's name, admin ID and other details.

The researcher then immediately reported the issue to the Facebook Security Team through its Bugcrowd bug bounty program. The company acknowledged the bug and awarded Baset $2,500 for his findings.

Though Facebook has now patched this information disclosure issue, people who have already received one such page invitation can still find out admin details from the invitation emails.

"We were able to verify that under some circumstances page invitations sent to non-friends would inadvertently reveal the name of the page admin which sent them," Facebook said. "We've address the root cause here, and future emails will not contain that information."

Facebook has now patched this information disclosure issue.

Lenovo™ Sees Intelligence Transforming Everything

at MWC 2018, From Devices to Data Center

BARCELONA – February 26, 2018 - Today, at MWC 2018, Lenovo reinforced its 2018 vision for technology innovations, moving its core strategy to Augmented Intelligence.

With its roots in the PC space, Lenovo has created one of the most complete collections of smart AI devices, giving it a unique advantage to provide the three key elements of Intelligence: Data, Computing Power and Algorithm.

Through new AR, VR and voice-activated technologies demonstrated at the show, Lenovo gives you powerful new ways to live, work and play. From intuitive new voice-enabled Yoga™ 2-in-1 laptops launched today, to transformative Moto Mods, to advanced data center solutions, Lenovo makes all the critical human connections to AI, from devices to data center.

Motorola will be sharing insights around its recently released global Phone-Life Balance Study which has been developed in partnership with Dr. Nancy Etcoff, renowned expert in Mind-Brain Behavior and the Science of Happiness at Harvard. The study identifies problematic behaviors that are impacting relationships with others and ourselves and shows how people are putting their phones before those they care about, with the most alarming findings tied to younger generations who have grown up in a digital world.

Motorola believes technology should enrich our lives, rather than distract from them and is offering intelligent solutions to help people manage their phone life balance. This includes a partnership with SPACE, an app that helps to make you more mindful of your phone usage, and Moto Experiences that support more intuitive mobile interactions.

A Different Approach to Voice
Lenovo’s PC and Smart Devices business is developing new products to transform commercial and consumer experiences through Augmented Intelligence.

At MWC, Lenovo will be introducing the new Yoga 730 (in 13-inch and 15-inch models) and the new 14-inch Yoga 530 – the latest additions to its 2-in-1 family designed for the mobile generation. The new Windows 10-based convertibles feature modern designs, powerful laptop performance and tablet portability that have made the Lenovo Yoga an iconic premium laptop brand since it first pioneered the convertible form factor. The new Yoga 730 harnesses the power of AI to give you intelligent assistance hands-free. With both Cortana and Alexa built-in, it offers more choice and recognizes voice commands from across the room. [1]

Lenovo's new trio of ruggedized Lenovo 500e, 300e 2-in-1's and 100e Chromebooks built for education are now available for consumers. Beyond the protective designs to guard against spills and drops, the 300e Chromebook features Lenovo Enhanced Touch technology that allows the use of everyday objects to interact with the screen and the 500 e Chromebook provides an EMR™ Pen with Google^®'s innovative near lag-free algorithms for writing and sketching.

For smarter living, the new Lenovo Smart Display announced at CES 2018 makes using technology at home more convenient, intuitive and shared. It combines the voice capability of the Google Assistant™ with a vibrant, full HD touchscreen display. [2]As the command hub for connected smart home devices, from lighting to heating and more, it can be controlled with just your voice or a quick glance at the display.

A Different Way to Experience Reality
Also launched at CES 2018, Lenovo will showcase how Augmented Intelligence continues to make its devices different and more immersive. The Lenovo Mirage™ Solo standalone VR headset and Lenovo Mirage Camera, a VR180 camera, lets you to create and consume your own VR content using Daydream™, the Google’s mobile VR platform, while Star Wars™: Jedi Challenges with its Lenovo Mirage AR headset and Lightsaber controller breaks the boundaries of what’s possible by letting fans experience Jedi training in AR.

A Different Way to Improve the World
Lenovo’s Data Center Group continues to power the Intelligence Revolution by expanding into two new segments in Telecommunications and IoT.

As innovations in mobile and smart devices rapidly grow, the telecom industry is undergoing massive changes with 5G networks. Lenovo is uniquely positioned to disrupt the traditional telecom installed base and provide a seamless transition for communication service providers to the software defined world.

Lenovo is launching a performance optimized offering based on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650/SR630 servers and switches, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, and Mellanox ConnectX-4 NICs for accelerated packet processing. In addition, Lenovo is joining the ‘Intel Select Solution for NFV’ program and offering a solution specially optimized for encryption and compression based NFV workloads. The solution is comprised of Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) and Intel XXV710 NIC enabled on Lenovo SR650/SR630 servers.

Leveraging its #1 position in x86 server reliability[3], Lenovo will also demo the industry's first 5G-ready base station with software and virtualized implementation of the centralized and distributed units (CU/DU) – made possible through customer-led, joint collaboration with China Mobile.

Demonstrations of Lenovo’s ‘device to datacenter’ solutions can be seen at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 26-March 1 at the Lenovo Showcase in Hall 3, Space 3N30.

PRESS INFO: Power Mac Center collaborates with Brillante Mendoza, Shaira Luna to mentor young creative

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 01:38:00 +0000

Power Mac Center has always been all-out in supporting technology-assisted creative expression. Just recently, the premier Apple partner gathered young creatives, mostly photographers and videographers, in an event called Lounge to help them build connections in the industry, get to interact and learn first-hand from professionals like Director Brillante Mendoza and Shaira Luna, and discover powerful devices to boost their craft.

In partnership with LaCie, a French brand of digital storage solutions, Power Mac Center was able to get internationally acclaimed Director Brillante Mendoza to talk about his experience in the film industry and give the young creatives tips in filmmaking.

“I use several cameras on the set. I use three to four cameras on the set. 4K lahat so mabibigat yung mga files so on the set, we make sure na right after the shoot or even during the shoot actually, kailangan tina-transfer and LaCie is really very useful in that aspect,” Mendoza told his audience.

An independent filmmaker through and through, Mendoza enjoys the full creative freedom to tell his story the way he wants to. His biggest challenge though, was sourcing for funds. So in order to secure his hard work, which is the film itself, Mendoza makes sure to invest in equipment that are reliable and provide him with complete peace of mind.

Meanwhile, for her part, professional fashion and advertising photographer Shaira Luna talked about what drives her to follow her passion in photography and how LaCie complements her on-the-go lifestyle and keeps her file transfer speedy and protected.

“I’m very thankful that I have LaCie to back me up. I just have so many pictures if only you know. I’ve started organizing my Instagram into color themes because I just have that many photos,” Luna said.

Luna loves being a photographer because it allows her to travel and meet a lot of people, especially creative minds she gets to work with in the process.

“Power Mac Center shares LaCie’s commitment to support the creative community. More than anything, we provide solutions to the demands of the industry from creatives of today,” said Power Mac Center Marketing Director Joey Alvarez.

An evening of fun, learning, and discovery, the Lounge event was meant to bring creatives together and “lounge” with industry movers to share/brew ideas. LaCie will continue to hold such pocket events for its new products this 2018.

LaCie is Seagate’s premium brand of world-class storage solutions designed for Mac users, photographers, videographers, audio professionals, and other power users. Its products are available in Power Mac Center stores nationwide. For more information as well as updates on future events, follow @powermaccenter on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube.

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 02:54:00 +0000

In light of Apple’s official communication regarding the chemical aging issue of batteries on older iPhone units, Power Mac Center, being an Authorized Service Provider, is issuing the following statement it its commitment to provide efficient and professional service through a strict set of protocols.

In light of Apple’s official communication regarding the chemical aging issue of batteries on
older iPhone units, Power Mac Center, being an Authorized Service Provider, is committed to provide efficient and professional service through a strict set of protocols, which consists of the following:

• Devices must undergo diagnosis to check the battery condition and other internal and
external physical/accidental damage or unauthorized modification that may or may not
be visible to the naked eye.

• If such issues are found, the iPhone will be ineligible for the battery replacement.

• If, during the diagnosis, we also find other hardware issues, our Apple Certified Engineer will recommend a part/unit replacement accordingly.

• Customers may or may not proceed with the recommendation, but if they decide to pull
out, they have to settle the diagnostic fee if the unit is out or void of warranty. The
battery replacement fee is Php1,500 for eligible units out of warranty, inclusive of labor.
This price may change due to importation costs and without prior notice.

This is Apple’s current and official procedure in all of their partner service centers and we have to comply with it.

We would like to assure our customers that Power Mac Center Service Engineers are Apple-
certified and they take their craft seriously. Whatever they do reflects on the brand so there
must be no room for error in such proceedings.

Why do people choose online personal loans

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 14:24:00 +0000

The Internet has made things a little easier. In the past, if you needed a loan , you would need to get dressed up and head down to the bank to beg for money. Online personal loans are now available to make the hassle of getting a loan a little easier, and peer-to-peer online personal loans services are even changing the way that people lend and borrow money.

Why do people choose online personal loans?

You would think people would be more inclined to trust the banks instead of an online lending service. So why are so many people putting their trust in online loans? There are a couple of major reasons:

Convenience: One of the main reasons people are flocking to online loans is the convenience. You easily apply for a personal loan from the comfort of your own home. Just fill out the online form and get approved quickly. All of your dealings with your lender happen exclusively online, which makes it convenient for those who don’t want to make the extra trips to the bank.

Lower rates: Since online lenders don’t have the added expense of physical offices scattered throughout the country, they can offer lower rates and fees to lenders. The interest rates are also fixed, so you don’t have to worry about fluctuating interest rates through the life of your loan. The only thing to remember is that most online personal loans are unsecured, which means that you don’t need to put up collateral in order to get approved for the loan. While this is convenient, it can mean higher interest rates since these loans are a bigger risk to the lender.

Easier access: Banks are notoriously picky when it comes to who they lend money to. Online personal loan services are not as picky, meaning that it can often be easier to get approved for a loan online, if you have the right credit score. Peer-to-peer lending sites like Prosper and Lending Club actually pitch out loans to individual investors, so if they are willing to take on your debt, you can get approved even with a lower credit score.

Who offers online personal loans?

Check Into Cash offers payday loans in 32 states through its more than 1,000 stores as well as online. Rates and fees are posted on Check Into Cash’s website. In addition to payday loans, Check Into Cash also offers lines of credit, installment loans and check cashing services.

A Check Into Cash payday loan comes with a number of features; here’s what you need to know before applying:

Convenient and quick. You can apply for a Check Into Cash payday loan online, and Check Into Cash informs you of your application’s status in less than 60 seconds. After approval, you can expect the funds to be deposited in your bank account as soon as the next business day.
Money for anything. Check Into Cash doesn’t place limitations on how you can use the loan amount. Use it for just about any legitimate purpose like paying medical bills, buying groceries or simply getting through a temporary setback.
Relaxed application criteria. You can apply for a Check Into Cash loan despite having bad credit as long as you have the ability to repay.

How to Apply short-term loan with Check Into Cash

To apply for a payday loan online you’ll need to have an active checking account that’s been open for at least 90 days.You must be at least 21 and an American citizen and have a bank account, email address and phone number.

Approval is relatively quick, and you should know how much you’ll be eligible to receive in a few minutes. One drawback to an online payday loan is that is can take between one to two business days to get your funding. When your loan is funded your money will be deposited into your account and once the payment period elapses your account will be debited for the amount you owe, so make sure you have enough in your account or have adequate overdraft protection.

To get an in-store cash advance at one of Check Into Cash’s many locations
Bring all the necessary information to the store and complete the application with an associate.
You’ll need a current pay stub, a state or federal photo ID, your most recent bank statement and a personal check. You’ll write a check for the amount you’re receiving, plus any applicable finance charges and post-date the check for two-weeks from the application date. Once that period elapses, the lender will deposit your check. You’ll want to ensure that you have enough money in your account to cover the full loan, otherwise you run the risk of incurring overdraft charges from your bank and other fees from the lender.

In addition to offering online payday loans and cash advances, Check Into Cash provides installment loans, online installment loans and lines of credits. As with its other loan offerings, check its website both to make sure what you want is available where you live and to see what rates are offered.

Fact : Did you know over a million dollars of gift card wasted every year?

Check Into Cash locations also offer supplemental services such as check cashing, bill payment, wiring money and selling gift cards for cash.

How It Works:
Step 1: *Bring in your new or used gift cards to a Check Into Cash store for a free quote. Gift cards must have a minimum balance of $20.
Step 2: Show us your driver’s license so we can verify your identity and process the payment.
Step 3: Walk out with cash in hand — no hassle, no waiting.

Check Into Cash has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) since 2000 and has an A+ rating. On TrustPilot, it has a 4-star rating averaged from about 650 reviews, the majority of which are quite positive. (this is sure not fraudster)

Please NOTE:

If you don’t agree with the terms, you are under no obligation to accept the loan.
Once you accept, you’ll be required to repay the principle and interest on the due date, usually two to four weeks later. If you make a late payment or miss one entirely, you can be charged extra fees. Before taking out a loan, be sure you can repay. Otherwise, you may find yourself owing much more than you borrowed.

Riot Games Suing Several Mobile Game Creator For Ripping Off League Of Legends Content

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 04:26:00 +0000

League of Legends owner Riot Games has filed a lawsuit against a mobile game developer known as Shanghai Moonton Technology for copyright infringement of Riot Games' intellectual property.

The company in question that's being faced with the lawsuit is responsible for creating several games such as Magic Rush: Heroes, Mobile Legends: 5v5 MOBA, and Mobile Legends: Bang bang, all of which are games that are included in the lawsuit as examples of the company utilizing Riot's properties. According to the lawsuit that Riot issued, these three games have "a vast array of elements that were directly and deliberately appropriated from LoL, including but not limited to LoL’s characters, artwork, map designs, and unit and monster designs."

This lawsuit isn't the first time that Riot Games has interacted with Shanghai Moonton though. Before Mobile Legends: Bang bang, Shanghai Moonton's game Mobile Legends: 5v5 MOBA was available for download via the Google Play store and was basically the same game that Mobile Legends: Bang bang is now. When Riot Games notified the store, Shanghai Moonton took the game down and later reinstated it within the Google Play store with a few tweaks to the gameplay and under the new name of Mobile Legends: Bang bang. The lawsuit that was filed contains examples of occasions within the game where characters and abilities were allegedly taken directly from League of Legends.

If you take a look at the game's page within the Google Play store, you can browse through a couple of screenshots that show several characters from the game that are quite similar to some of the champions of League of Legends. A trailer also shows some gameplay taking place in a map that very much resembles Summoner's Rift.
While the lawsuit is justified as it definitely appears accurate that the content was pulled from League of Legends, some users of both games have already expressed conflicted opinions about the legal action. Players have said that while it's fair, Mobile Legends: Bang bang has been reviewed as one of the smoother mobile MOBA options, one that might not be on the market for too much longer.

The full text of the lawsuit can be read here.

Update: One of the Admin/GM on PH ML posted on group

<ANNOUNCEMENT>
To all ML Players,
I just want to remind you that we should ALWAYS.. ALWAYS wait for Riot and Moonton's OFFICIAL announcement. Do not jump into conclusions before we hear the whole story. THERE WILL BE AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT LATER FROM MOONTON.
Thank you guys!
Mobile Legends Philippines GM Team.

Update: The Mobile Legends Facebook page issued a statement calling the report “unreal,” and saying the game was developed by Moontoon independently with intellectual property rights. It made no mention the lawsuit. Below is the full statement:

Recently, some media have published negative and unreal reports against Mobile Legends. Here is the statement of Moontoon:

Mobile Legends is a MOBA game that is developed by Moontoon independently, and its copyright has already been registered and protected in multiple countries all over the world. Moontoon has independent intellectual property rights.

Mobile Legends and all of the users will not be affected by these unreal reports and we will keep providing the best gameplay experience to players all over the world.

Meanwhile, for some media and competitors who have spread the unreal information and rumors against us, we reserve the right to protect ourselves and pursue legal actions.

RED Hydrogen One smartphone with a ‘holographic display’

noreply@blogger.com (Chucks) — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 00:24:00 +0000

The World's First Holographic Media Machine in Your Pocket, No Glasses Needed

High-end camera maker RED has just announced a premium smartphone called Hydrogen One, and the headlining feature is something the company is referring to as a “holographic display.” A buzzword-filled press release for Hydrogen One says that the 5.7-inch display somehow uses nanotechnology to “seamlessly [switch] between traditional 2D content, holographic multi-view content, 3D content, and interactive games.”

RED founder Jim Jannard says “there is no good way to describe it until you see it.” He also writes that “our display is technology you haven’t seen before. It is not lenticular, which is inferior tech in every way, has been tried many times before and failed for good reason.

RED says that it will also use an algorithm to convert stereo sound into “multi-dimensional audio” to add to the immersive experience — or, as RED puts it, to “ASSAULT YOUR SENSES.” The phone will allow for modular attachments, similar to those found on the Moto Z line or the Essential Phone, but with a special focus on image capture. And the phone will work (somehow) with RED’s extensive lineup of digital cinema cameras.

The company writes that the design of the phone may change, but more importantly, “after this initial release we will NOT be able to fill all orders on time due to display production limitations. We will NOT guarantee these prices at the time of release.” The modular attachments won’t be available at launch, either.

Otherwise, Hydrogen One sounds like any other relatively beefed-up Android phone, though we don’t know exact specs. If you tweak the brightness of the photo, you can see a very grippy design, and a relatively small camera bump. It will use USB Type-C, it has a microSD slot for expandable storage, and yes — it has a headphone jack.

The company says the phone will ship in early 2018, and it’s currently available for preorder on RED’s website. It starts at $1,195 for the aluminum version, and there’s also a $1,595 variant made out of titanium.
