Facebook is a lot like a TV or radio station trying to drive people to their channel. Sure, they'll give you a secure logon then publish your data into your insecure e-mail account because that drives you back to the site, and they can show you a few more ads, which is how they're paid.
Facebook isn't doing what's right or best, they're doing what moves the ad meter. Somehow, this site isn't as intended.
Passengers aren't required on some flights... they just move letters and shipments. Also, if a population is moving, sometimes there's nobody on the return flight for months... think Boston to Florida.
So, we've got half a story here.. this must be a SlowNewsDay.
13 people getting their iPhone pwned is 13 people too many. The yell to Slashdot is putting everybody on alert that an iOS we thought was secure has its first bad hack.
In the days of iPhone 4, they left holes allowing a site called jailbreak.me to allow alternate app stores like Cydia to exist on the phone... most of which were tests of features that are now part of the standard iOS.
This is where the MDM software "sideloads" in... it's gaining increased permissions that belong to MDM limiters, and instead it's malware.
What we have here is a malware program that got certified by Apple... but this appears to only be in India's version of the app store. Cleanup should be quick, and it's less than 20 reported cases of trouble so far.
Seems like MDM is a codeword for what we call 'antivirus" on a PC/Mac. The antivirus developers have been given hooks that go all the way to BIOS, while a typical program can't touch system files nor the BIOS. We expect the certified antivirus programs to play by rules, but there's nothing preventing things like Norton's occasional behavior of starting P2P hole checks that end up overflowing the internet pipes.
So, here we are with a bunch of India cases of users trusting malware as their iPhone MDM/antivirus. Really, the operating system should be the only antivirus you need these days. So Apple, pull this app from the app store and replace the damaged phones.
Moving energy by powerline is no way cheaper than moving petro to your gas station... if there was a better way to move fuel, everybody would be going for it. There's just no such thing as a cheaper way to power cars... just a different way of doing things.
While we're talking about Hawaii, there's times that our satellite signals don't reach. Is everybody okay over there? Pop singer Hoku... we haven't heard from you recently. Can you visit Slashdot once in a while?
We went through this with TXT, spam texts exist, but deals from places you buy from still remain popular. Free appetizer for downloading the place's app anyone?
We loved GOOG-411 when it was ad supported with not enough ad sponsors, but now hate it when it became the phone company's paid 411 service.
Automated operators have been around for a while now, so this is Google's late entry into that business. I wish them luck and remind them to Be Not Evil... okay?
I can type ten bad passwords into my iPhone and not have it wiped. It's an option in settings that when turned off causes the phone to freeze and not accept a new attempt for a progressively longer time.
So there you have it, not all iPhones wipe after ten bad attempts.
The problem isn't that these machines are out of electrical code, but the combination of all these machines is putting a strain on an otherwise not busy electrical grid.
Seems like this log wasn't being looked at by anybody outside of Twitter, so there's no hack and no "exposure" so I doubt we'll see a world-ending password release here.
Slashdot Mirror
That's AWS's competitors, compare Amazon.com to Sears, Walmart, and Barnes and Noble...
Don't forget Amazon is retail, and retail typically does a lot of extra business in Fourth Quarter/December.
Trump has called everything fake news except The Daily Show... time to reset.
What high school/college did you go to?
What was the name of your first date?
What is your mother's maiden name?
All of this published at Facebook... Oops. That's enough to reset your bank password.

This is a Trogran pretended to be MDM/antivirus... sort of like Norton.
It's an Apple App Store error... they approved a piece of malware that used MDM software elevation to get through limits on typical apps.
Stormy Daniels isn't newsworthy, it's a story that's already known about Trump.

Tesla's charging stations are all getting solar, with the goal of removing them from the grid entirely. You could do the same thing.
Solar panels are heavy and made out of expensive things... still no savings there.
This was a "cool new thing" subsidy... but with sale 200,000 in the books, it's no longer a new thing.

That seems interesting... a bot to bot audio call to make a transaction. That's better than an SSL session or telnet session to buy something.
We went through this with TXT, spam texts exist, but deals from places you buy from still remain popular. Free appetizer for downloading the place's app anyone?
What bank exists without a bot answering calls?

Isn't the car radio responsible for for displaying CallerID and time these days?
