iPhone 8 Dreaming in Full Swing
Facebook Denies Ransomware Infiltration
SF Muni Hack a Wake-Up Call for Public Systems

Today's Story Highlights

iPhone 8 Dreaming in Full Swing
Apple's latest iPhone was barely out of the gate when rumors began
percolating about the company's next new phone. Although the iPhone 7
garnered mostly tepid reviews, initial inventories sold out quickly, and
the company had to scramble to meet demand. That demand may have peaked,
though, which may be why chasers of the next big thing are looking down
the road.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84119.html

Facebook Denies Ransomware Infiltration
Facebook has denied that its network and Messenger app were being used
to spread ransomware to its users, contradicting the claims of a
security firm. Two Check Point researchers last week reported they had
discovered a new method for delivering malicious code to machines, which
they dubbed "ImageGate." Threat actors had found a way to embed
malicious code into an image, they said.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84115.html

SF Muni Hack a Wake-Up Call for Public Systems
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority, or SF MTA, was
hacked on Friday. "You Hacked, All Data Encrypted," was the message
reportedly displayed on computer screens at the authority's stations
throughout the city. "Contact for Key (cryptom27@yandex.com)ID:681 ,
Enter." Fare payment machines at underground stations were out of order,
resulting in free rides.

How AI Could End Stupid Thanksgiving Arguments
Five Dollar PoisonTap Tool Easily Breaks Into Locked PCs

Gadgets: Big Bendy Screens, Chatterbox Robots, and TV in the Cloud
One of the Best New VR Things: Buying a Car

Today's Story Highlights

How AI Could End Stupid Thanksgiving Arguments
I'm writing this before Thanksgiving, which I used to hate and now don't
-- largely because I no longer spend the day arguing with family. I've
been listening to a lot of friends and relatives dread this year's event
because of political discussions that are likely to occur, and the
equally annoying comments and critiques from those who supported both
candidates.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84105.html

Five Dollar PoisonTap Tool Easily Breaks Into Locked PCs
Proving once again that you can do a lot of damage with a little
investment and a lot of ingenuity, security researcher Samy Kamkar
recently managed to take down a locked, password-protected computer
using a $5 Raspberry Pi. The low-tech cookie-siphoning intrusion is one
of Kamkar's simplest hacks ever. He previously has unlocked car doors,
garages, wireless remote cameras and other devices.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84108.html

Cyber Grinches Could Disrupt Holidays' Biggest Shopping Weekend
Recent high-profile distributed denial of service attacks on the
Internet's infrastructure and an investigative journalist's website have
spiked concerns over possible disruptions of traffic during the biggest
online shopping weekend of the year. Online spending last year exceeded
$5.8 billion on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to Adobe, and
that figure is expected to go up this year.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84109.html

Gadgets: Big Bendy Screens, Chatterbox Robots, and TV in the Cloud
I'm at long last about to start setting up my new home office. Goodbye,
Ikea dining table. Hello, fancy new desk. When I actually have my new
setup, I'd like to have a monitor at long last to complement my laptop.
AOC's latest is under serious consideration. The AG352QCX is a 35-inch,
curved behemoth with two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI 2.0 input, VGA, DVI,
audio in and out ports, and DisplayPort 1.2.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84094.html

One of the Best New VR Things: Buying a Car
I had a fascinating experience last week. I got to see and experience
the new Jaguar I-Pace, the company's electric answer to the as-yet-
unannounced Tesla Y SUV. I didn't just get to see the car -- I got to
understand intimately why the car was created and what went into its
design. I got to experience aspects of the vehicle viscerally, without
actually getting into it.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84095.html

Friend Finder Data Breach Exposes 400M Swingers
Hackers have stolen information of more than 400 million users of Friend
Finder Networks, which runs several adult dating and pornography
websites, LeakedSource reported. This is Friend Finders' second breach
in two years. Last year, hackers accessed 4 million accounts, exposing
information on users' sexual preferences and extramarital affairs. More
than 412 million users were compromised.

GoPro's Drone Initiative Crashes With Karma Recall
iPhone Call Logs Easy Pickings on iCloud, Says Russian Security Firm

JuJu Offers Speedy Model-Driven Software Approach

Today's Story Highlights

GoPro's Drone Initiative Crashes With Karma Recall
GoPro's ambitious plans to be a player in the fledgling drone market
crashed last week when it had to announce a product recall due to Karma
UAV units falling from the sky. The company needed to resolve a
performance issue related to loss of power during operation, it said. It
indicated it would resume shipment of Karma at some point, but didn't
suggest when.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84097.html

iPhone Call Logs Easy Pickings on iCloud, Says Russian Security Firm
Russian digital forensics firm ElcomSoft on Thursday reported that Apple
automatically uploads iPhone call logs to iCloud remote servers, and
that users have no official way to disable this feature other than to
completely switch off the iCloud drive. The data uploaded could include
a list of all calls made and received on an iOS device, as well as phone
numbers, dates and times, and duration.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84096.html

Twitter Cracks Down on Cyber Hate
Twitter on Tuesday suspended the account of Richard Spencer, one of the
leading voices of the alt-right movement. It also expanded the use of
several existing tools and changed policies to make it easier for users
to fight back against abuse and harassment. Twitter suspended the
accounts of Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white
nationalist think tank.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84092.html

JuJu Offers Speedy Model-Driven Software Approach
The JuJu cloud platform developed by Canonical integrates a wide variety
of cloud services and servers on both public and private clouds using an
innovative model-driven software approach. That success has changed
fundamentally the nature of software operations as organizations move to
cloud-scale services, according to Mark Shuttleworth, founder of
Canonical.
