With its recent iPhones being launched, booming up technology with its new Applepay and iwatch but also few issues with iPhone bending and other bugs, now there is even a security flaw in iOS latest version(8.0.2)


YouTube user EverythingApplesPro  found a security flaw involving Apple's iOS 8 Touch ID and Passcode.

Gizmodo confirms that it's just Touch ID registering after having further tests performed before which it said was fake.

The process shown in the video is simple and goes like this: When you ask Siri a question on the lock screen and as Siri starts thinking up the answer, hit the home button and swipe right and thus lacking the security which surpasses Apple's iOS 8 security defenses and any stranger can break into your iPhone.

Threat from Skype!!

Do you know that the most frequently used software's pose a threat to us??

Skype, first introduced in August 2003 and later bought by Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5 billion at any given time approximately runs with 35 million people. DO YOU KNOW IT POSES A THREAT ?

Yes, using Skype might expose your data to hacker. Why? And how?

Skype is a peer to peer network in which voice calls pass over the internet rather than through a special purpose network. Skype users search for other users to connect to, enabling them to search for other Skype users and send them messages. Interestingly, the name Skype derived from the concept "Sky Peer to peer".
What happens in Peer to peer(P2P) networking is that when you wanted to share information with your friends/colleagues , you must open a TCP PORT through the firewall for the P2P software to communicate. And once you open that port you are no longer protected from malicious traffic that comes through. They might send a file, a Trojan in specific and if  by chance you download and install it, then your data is open to the hackers. Hacking is so evolved that even if you don't download the file, it may happen as a background process which I posted in my other blog - RANSOMWARE.

P2P is not so secured and thus the reason why many of the corporate industries don't use Skype unless they have taken precautions. Also P2P can introduce latency.

There are many other VoIP(Voice over IP) software's like uberconference, ooVoo, VSee,Jitsi, Ekiga, Empathy, Nimbuzz, Wechat, Viber, Google hangouts.
There might be a threat from Facebook video chatting as well because it's powered by Skype and hence the P2P.

 The torrent software's (bit torrent, u torrent) are other mostly used P2P software's. Take care while using P2P software's.
