Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “They’re ALL vulnerable!?”.
This is the 200th episode of Tecla. Did you even? Did you even know that? Is it oh gosh, it’s been that long, a researchers working for the center for IT security, privacy and accountability. Aka sista TD spa have discovered a dangerous vulnerability that could allow a hacker to snoop on the traffic going between bluetooth devices. The flaw is known as the key negotiation of Bluetooth attack or nob yeah. It is nob can force Bluetooth devices to use a decryption key, consisting of only one byte which makes brute-force decryption attacks. Super-Easy device manufacturers have started rolling out patches for nob, including Intel Apple, blackberry, Microsoft, Lenovo and, more so don’t be.
A bloody nob update your device. You wanker, are we allowed to say wanker, I think so. Fortunately, the Bluetooth news isn’t all bad.
Today, scientists at the University of California have developed an app that can detect the Bluetooth signature of credit card skimmers in gas pumps and it found sixty-four skimmers across six states in one year. So that’s nice see the world isn’t so dark and horrible. James there’s good stuff happening. It’S fine back to some bad news, though surface pro sixes and surface book twos are being crippled by a firmware glitch, causing the device’s CPUs to throttle down to 400 megahertz, even the lowest speck surface, pro six, with an Intel Core.
I5. 8520? U runs at 1.6 gigahertz stock, that’s four times the issue is apparently being caused by a system component that thinks the CPU is running too hot, so speeds are being throttled. There are also reports of users suffering from an inability to connect to some Wi-Fi networks.
It’S unclear whether they asked the Starbucks employee for the password. Some service owners have reported unplugging, their device from power helps, while others say to install third-party antivirus programs, but the bug seems to have started off after a surface firmware update on August 1st Microsoft says they’re aware of the issue and are working on a firmware update To fix the faulty CPU temperature man, should’ve got a MacBook Pro yeah, the thermal throttle. The lease is higher than farted Becker yeah you’ll get way higher than that bobbing you’ll in a bad way and Facebook seems to be learning from all of its privacy.
Breaching mishaps. Just not in the way they should. Perhaps the company is planning a number of pop-up cafes across the UK that will encourage people to enjoy some free drinks, taking some bland IKEA decor and take part in simple privacy checkups. The objective is reportedly to educate users about protecting their privacy online by taking them through the privacy section of their Facebook settings. Facebook is the one to teach us about that. Yeah cuz, that’s the problem. Facebook people don’t know how to protect their privacy, cameras, analytical harvesting and exploiting the personal information of millions of users with Facebook’s help. That’S not that’s, not that’s not important. I should have never used Facebook right now sent for quake bits brought to you by brilliance, daily challenges, brilliant believes that becoming great at math, science or computer science doesn’t have to be dull, so they built a problem solving website and app with over 50 interactive courses. Chock-Full of storytelling code writing and interactive challenges built for ambitious and curious people, like the scientific thinking course, which helps you develop a solid foundation in physics while playing with puzzles yay.
There are a great compliment to watching educational videos that will help you master all kinds of technical subjects and discover deep truths in unexpected places. Now that already sounds awesome, but you can also get 20 % off a premium subscription by going to brilliant org, slash tech linked so go there or click the link in the description. Who knows what you may find? It’S brilliant. You find brilliant look, whether it’s a quick button or not, I’m gon na say it. What Alex folks, we might have a Geforce r-tx 20 ATT. I super on our hands. If a new listing in I 264 s, changelog is any indication stole. There’S a storm coming.
There’S a reference to a new graphics card, designated GeForce r-tx, T 10-8, built on the TU 102 GPU the same one used in the RT X, Titan, RT, X, 28 e TI and the quadrille RT x, 8,000 and 6,000. Now why Nvidia would do this remains unclear? Other than to just have another fancy thing for rich people to buy: oh, that’s it Apple, Google and Amazon all suspended their human listening programs after it was discovered that user audio is being recorded, but Microsoft is going to continue feeding audio from Cortana recordings to their Contractors, the company is only revising its privacy policy to make it clear to users that their audio might be recorded and heard by humans, which exactly it obviously makes more sense. We know that the other tech companies are going to resume the practice eventually if they haven’t already so it’s it’s kind of like Cortana, is the quiet girl in the back who everyone ignores, but who has something really interesting to say if he just let her letter Speak up, for God’s sake, man, actually, security. Researchers at Trend Micro have identified 85 apps on the Google Play Store that were little more than fronts for adware, the apps had 8 million installs between them, and this is like the 18th story about removing fraudulent apps with millions of installs, so they removed them.
I forgot to say that Google seems to really take an approve. First ask questions later type of approach with the Play Store, another a our filter. App, it’s probably fine Apple – is suing a company called kirill IAM for copyright infringement. The small start-up provides emulation of iOS devices on desktop machines, which doesn’t seem that bad for the problem, as apple sees it is that Corellia, ms selling, access to its emulated, iOS devices for profit and encouraging users to sell security flaws they find in iOS open market.
So as much as I hate to say, it Apple might be doing the right thing here and our last quick bit is actually about the Linus tech tips, folding team yeah. If you don’t know, folding refers to running the folding at home client on your computer, which helps scientists do research on how proteins fold October is LTT folding month and by participating you can win steam gift cards, game keys and event. Badge is on the LTTE. Forums.
Do you I don’t I got no badges, I need to get more badges. I can so if you want to use your computer for a good cause check the link in the description. Trust me and I said trust me. It feels good, but I don’t do it. It’S pretty easy, but I will do it James told me to do it. Do it alright, that’s enough! I’M over this 200 episode. That’S a that’s a fine amount right. We can. We can cut it off there. Just kidding we’ll be back on Monday and I see, and I still love you what I’m happy to be here. .
