| Serious Zoom security flaw could let websites hijack Mac cameras Posted: 08 Jul 2019 06:19 PM PDT  Today, security researcher Jonathan Leitschuh has publicly disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability for the Zoom video conferencing app on Macs. He has demonstrated that any website can open up a video-enabled call on a Mac with the Zoom app installed. That's possible in part because the Zoom app apparently installs a web server on Macs that accepts requests regular browsers wouldn't. In fact, if you uninstall Zoom that web server persists and can reinstall Zoom without your intervention. Using Leitschuh's demo, we have confirmed that the vulnerability works — clicking a link if you have previously installed the Zoom app (and haven't checked a certain checkbox in settings) auto joins you to a conference call with your camera on.

| Google says Stadia games will remain playable even if publishers stop supporting the platform Posted: 08 Jul 2019 05:26 PM PDT  Google has updated the FAQ page for its upcoming Stadia cloud gaming service and it includes one notable tidbit of new information. The company says that, in the rare event a game publisher pulls Stadia support for a title, Stadia will continue to make the game available to those who've purchased the license to stream it, per 9to5Google. "Once you purchase the game, you own the right to play it. In the future, it is possible that some games may no longer be available for new purchases, but existing players will still be able to play the game," the Stadia FAQ page reads. "Outside of unforeseen circumstances, Stadia will aim to keep any previously purchased title available for gameplay." It sounds like a rather specific scenario, but it's... |
| Thousands of Android apps can track your phone — even if you deny permissions Posted: 08 Jul 2019 02:29 PM PDT  When you explicitly tell an Android app, "No, you don't have permission to track my phone," you probably expect that it won't have abilities that let it do that. But researchers say that thousands of apps have found ways to cheat Android's permissions system, phoning home your device's unique identifier and enough data to potentially reveal your location as well. Even if you say "no" to one app when it asks for permission to see those personally identifying bits of data, it might not be enough: a second app with permissions you have approved can share those bits with the other one or leave them in shared storage where another app — potentially even a malicious one — can read it. The two apps might not seem related, but researchers say... |
| Amazon factory workers plan Prime Day strike in Minnesota Posted: 08 Jul 2019 02:25 PM PDT  Amazon workers at a Shakopee, Minnesota warehouse plan to strike for six hours during Prime Day to demand safer working conditions and secure jobs. According to Bloomberg, workers across two shifts will leave the warehouse and protest outside the facility; they'll also be joined by some engineers from the Amazon Employees For Climate Justice group who plan to fly in to support the strike. There have been a number of strikes at Amazon warehouses on major shopping days, like Black Friday, but those protests have been in Europe, where unions are much stronger. Protests in the US have been far more limited, but there's been a growing movement at this warehouse in particular. A group of Somali-American workers walked off the Shakopee... |
| How to get Google apps on an Amazon Fire tablet Posted: 08 Jul 2019 01:59 PM PDT  The best thing about the Amazon Fire 7 tablet is its $49 price. The worst thing is that its Android-based Fire OS 6 software lacks most of what makes Android, well, Android. It (like Amazon's other Fire tablets) lacks any of the standard Google apps, like Google Maps, Google Photos, or Google Drive. What's worse is that the built-in Amazon Appstore is a stand-in for Google's Play Store, and most of the apps you know and love aren't available. However, there is hope if you don't mind tinkering a bit. Amazon allows the installation of apps from outside sources on all of its Fire tablets, which means you can install the Google Play Store. Once you enable this feature, you'll be able to sideload Android packages (APKs) — in other words,... |
| Microsoft is slipping app ads into Android menus Posted: 08 Jul 2019 01:28 PM PDT  If you use a Microsoft app on your Android phone, Microsoft might be quietly advertising its other apps in your "Share" and "Open" menus. Android Police has pointed out that some Microsoft mobile apps add extra options to your menus when you interact with a file. These icons show Microsoft apps that aren't on your phone, taking up real estate that's usually reserved for programs you chose to install. Android Police tested this with multiple Microsoft apps, and The Verge confirmed that it's definitely happening with Your Phone Companion, an app for syncing Android and Windows devices. When I shared a photo from my phone with Your Phone Companion installed, my sharing menu included an extra icon labeled "Microsoft OneDrive (Install)."... |
| Apple’s Texas Hold’em game returns to the iPhone to celebrate 10 years of the App Store Posted: 08 Jul 2019 01:20 PM PDT  Apple's Texas Hold'em game was released over 11 years ago for the iPhone as the first game ever sold on the App Store. Today, seemingly out of nowhere, Apple has updated the game with a refreshed version that actually works on today's iPhones, as spotted by 9to5Mac. The App Store page for Texas Hold'em claims that the update is to celebrate "the 10 year anniversary of the App Store." That's a bit strange: the App Store's 10th anniversary — which, not coincidentally, was the same day that Texas Hold'em launched for the iPhone — was last July. But better late than never, I guess. The new update adds new characters, modernized visuals, and, most importantly, an update for the 64-bit architecture that Apple launched... |
| Instagram will test a feature that allows users to shadow ban their bullies Posted: 08 Jul 2019 12:53 PM PDT  Instagram's next big fix for online bullying is coming in the form of artificial intelligence-flagged comments and the ability for users to restrict accounts from publicly commenting on their posts. The team is launching a test soon that'll give users the power to essentially "shadow ban" a user from their account, meaning the account holder can "restrict" another user, which makes their comments visible only to themselves. It also hides when the account holder is active on Instagram or when they're read a direct message. The company also separately announced today that it's rolling out a new feature that'll leverage AI to flag potentially offensive comments and ask the commenter if they really want to follow through with posting.... |
| In season 3, Stranger Things’ celebration of ’80s pop culture becomes a political ideology Posted: 08 Jul 2019 12:23 PM PDT  Warning: spoilers ahead for season 3 of Stranger Things. The third season of Stranger Things, like the first two seasons, revels in the fun, funny, nostalgic detritus of 1980s pop culture. Much of the series's action is set in a mall, the center of teen life before the advent of iPhones and Amazon. In the shopping emporium, the kids buy colorful '80s clothes and watch movies like Back to the Future and George Romero's Day of the Dead. Glimpses of classic Dungeons & Dragons manuals and period issues of Penthouse are scattered around the screen. Running jokes include references to '80s teen sex symbol Phoebe Cates and the bombastically maudlin theme song for The Neverending Story. Most horror stories surprise the audience with terrifying... |
| Ajit Pai has a new proposal to go after international robocallers Posted: 08 Jul 2019 12:23 PM PDT  On Monday, Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai proposed a new rule that would make malicious text message spoofing and overseas robocalls illegal, something that the agency has yet to fully address in its attempts to fight robocalls. The measure formally implements rules approved by Congress last year that authorize the FCC to go after text message fraudsters and international robocallers. If approved, calls and texts that use spoofing to imitate a different phone number would be unlawful and would allow the FCC to bring enforcement actions against bad actors outside of the country who are looking to defraud or scam people in the US. "Scammers often robocall us from overseas, and when they do, they typically spoof their... |
