G Flex features curved battery and 6-inch HD touch screen

Though US pricing and availability remain unknown, the device will hit Korea in November, with more markets announced afterward.   Like the name suggests, the G Flex sports a curved, 0.34-inch-thick construction, partly thanks to its plastic OLED screen.   Usually, LG suits up its high-end devices with IPS LCD displays, but the OLED screen is bendable, which lends to the G Flex's vertically bowed design. In addition, the 6-inch HD display has a 1,280x720-pixel resolution. The handset also

Don't Look now but Google Glass 2 is on the way.

There is a new version of Google Glass on the way for those who have already become part of the 'tester' program.  Those who have the original units will have the opportunity to trade up if they desire, and also invite 3 friends to become Glass owners.  (For a modest $1500 that is...).   "The new Google Glass hardware will work with eyeglasses or shades, and include an ear bud to replace the speaker in the current model. The bone-conduction speaker, which, similar to some hearing aids, literally sends sound waves through the skull to the ear, has been called faulty by some testers. The swap begins Friday and testers will have 60 days to decide if they want new Glass."   [url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/29/tech/mobile/new-google-glass/index.html?hpt=hp_t2]Full Article[/url]     Somehow, I am still not quite sold on it, but I have to admit that the improvements DO make it just a little more interesting to me.  A little, not enough to want one quite yet.

Secure Anywhere!!!

I love the new Secure Anywhere!! It has already proved itself to me to be better then anything I"ve seen in the past. I also love the easy to access and navigate settings. Some other programs I'd tried were a complete nightmare trying to do anything. Keep up the good work. :D

Digital Savvy? You're Still Quite Hackable, According to Recent Survey

Today's National Cyber Security Awareness Month Tip comes in the form of a sobering survey conducted by Marble Security.   It turns out that those of us born in the millennial generation, who grew up alongside the internet, are ironically more likely to get hacked...or phished...or socially engineered, despite the common belief that we should be the ones wise enough to avoid these attacks. PCWorld has the [url=http://bit.ly/1bvJ4Ft]report[/url].   "Twenty-six percent of respondents aged 25 to 34 said at least one online account has been hacked. But that doesn't account for those ho have been part of major breaches over the years, or those who have had more than one account compromised. When it comes to those aged 35-44, the percentage drops to 24 percent." The reason 'digital natives' face the risk of getting breached is because we're the ones representing today's workforce, the people who find ourselves in the midst of the BYOD era, who spend more time online (both person

Unable To Print Bank Statement

I just installed WebRoot Secure Anywhere on my PC. It will not let me print my Bank of America online statement, either from the Print menu or from the "print this page" link on the bank's website. IE10 flashes that it had a problem and had to reopen the tab. This happens even when I turn off phishing and identity protection. This is not acceptable. How do I fix it?

UK Wikipedia probe into paid-for 'sockpuppet' entries

UK Wikipedia editors have expressed "shock and dismay" at the discovery of hundreds of user accounts set up to make paid-for entries. Paid-for advocacy and the adoption of fake "sockpuppet" identities for promotional purposes are against the free web encyclopaedia's policies. Sue Gardner, executive editor of the Wikimedia Foundation, said "as many as several hundred" accounts were suspect. Editors have blocked or banned more than 250 accounts, she added. "Our goal is to provide neutral, reliable information for our readers, and anything that threatens that is a serious problem," said Ms Gardner. "We are actively examining this situation and exploring our options." Wikipedia considers paid-for advocacy a "black hat" practice, she said, that "violates the core principles that have made Wikipedia so valuable for so many people."   [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24613608]Full Story[/url]

GameGuard and Webroot issue

Hello,   I just took part of the Webroot community, so I'm pretty new here. I hope i'm on the right place for my problem.   I'm a user of Webroot, ofcourse. I'm a gamer and I use to play Online games. I recently re-installed my windows and all software (inc Webroot and the game(s)). Now, when I launch one of my games I can normally log-in, but after 1 minute GameGuard (the game's security) give's an error. Whenever I turn off Webroot it works. I never had this problem before. I already contacted Webroot itself, in order to ask if there is any possibility for adding the Game's folder to exclusion/exception. They explained me how I can add Files to exclusion/exception, but they told me it's not possible to add whole folders. Since GameGuard doesn't run in standard .exe form, I cant simply add it... The game contains a thousends of files. so it'd be ridiculous adding them 1 by 1 to the exclusion/exception. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Daan de Vries

Belkin Baby Monitor-Turned Bugging Device in new Hack

About three months ago, [url=http://bit.ly/17Mvhb6]I wrote[/url] about a baby monitor hack that resulted in a truly frightening night for a Texas couple and their toddler, who were terrorized by a man who was able to hack the device and then proceeded to shout expletives through the monitor that was placed next to the sleeping baby.   As it happens, baby monitor hacking is back in the news. According Dan Goodin of [url=http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/10/hack-turns-belkin-baby-monitor-into-iphone-controlled-bugging-device/]ARS Technica[/url], a security researcher by name of Nitesh Dhanjani (ironically the same researcher I mentioned in the original baby monitor hack story who discovered a [url=https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Even-Lights-Can-Be-Hacked/m-p/53928#M2112]vulnerability[/url] in a popular LED lighting system), has come up with a proof-of-concept attack on a wireless Belkin baby monitor, showing how it can be turned into an 'iPhone/iPad-contro

Firefox community roiled by Java crackdown

The Firefox web browser will, henceforth, require users to manually activate Java objects on sites that they visit, Mozilla has confirmed. The change is aimed at improving security and moving away from a dependence on proprietary plug-ins, but critics say it will cause untold headaches for developers, admins and less-technical end-users. When a page that features Java elements is loaded, a red security warning will display in the address bar – clicking on this will provide the option of activating Java. Many of those opposed to the change say that less technically savvy users might either miss the warning or simply decline to click through, out of a fear that they are compromising their security.   [url=http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/102213-firefox-java-275087.html]Full Story[/url]

OSX Mavericks Phishing-It's Already Happening

Mac users, beware! While the free upgrade to Apple's freshly-announced OSX Mavericks is simple and free, scammers know this all too well and are already trying to lure you in with fake and malicious emails, according to Evan Dashevsky in a [url=http://bit.ly/1a0HHMn]report for TechHive[/url].   After downloading Mavericks last night, the author waited until this morning to install. The first email he received on his personal account from Apple was real, but then....   "But I also received an email on my work email purportedly from Apple with the subject 'Your Apple ID has been frozen temporarily'. The text stated in mostly grammatically correct language that I 'tried to access your account more than once from several places and have exceeded the allowable limit for access times for this reason that your account has been frozen." Dashevsky writes that he almost clicked the link before he realized that this was a scam. How did he? 1) His work email (where he received the me

Malicious Software Infects Some U.N. Nuclear Agency Computers

According to an earlier [url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/10/22/uk-nuclear-iaea-malware-idUKBRE99L08Q20131022]Reuters UK report[/url], The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is headquartered in Vienna, has confirmed that some of their computers had been infected with malware over the past couple of months. They also said, however, that no data has been compromised.   "The computers were located in common areas of the agency's headquarters in the Austrian capital, known as the Vienna International Centre (VIC), where IAEA staff as well as member state officials works and meet." Serge Gas, director of public information, says that all necessary measures are being taken regarding the breach.   For the full story, click the link above.    [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/6885i74A9152B565C3575.jpg[/img]   (Source: Reuters UK)
