Today's Story Highlights

Researchers Shine Spotlight on OS X/iOS Masque Attack
Researchers at FireEye on Monday made public the existence of the Masque
Attack, which threatens iOS and Mac OS X operating systems. Masque
Attack exploits a flaw in Apple's OSes that allows the replacement of
one app by another so long as both apps use the same bundle identifier.
All apps, except those preinstalled on iOS, such as Mobile Safari, can
be replaced.

USPS Employees, Retirees, Customers Exposed in Hack Attack
Hackers siphoned off data from United States Postal Service servers for
more than eight months before being detected, the USPS said. The
personal data -- including names, dates of birth, Social Security
numbers, addresses, beginning and end dates of employment and emergency
contact information -- of more than 800,000 employees and some retirees
has been exposed.

Firefox Develops a Case of Selective Amnesia
Roughly 10 years to the day after the release of Firefox 1.0, Mozilla on
Monday announced an updated version of its open source browser complete
with a new Forget button aimed at protecting users' privacy. Forget asks
you only one question, said Firefox Vice President Johnathan
Nightingale. "How much do you want to forget?" Once you supply a time
frame, "it takes care of the rest."
