As is often the case with Android viruses, Tizi spread by infecting popular Google store apps. If you wonder why the past tense, it is because the virus has already been contained, or so does Android claim. Tizi’s immoral activities concentrated on infecting the more popular messenger apps like Facebook and Twitter and scanning them for any personal data available. That is not all it did, though; it could also scan our calendar and GPS, as well as record our voice chats! Versatile little basterd…Android believes that Tizi was using vulnerabilities in older, pre 7.0 Nougat, ...

Smartphone is nowadays one of the most important, if not -the- most important, every day use objects in our lives. It is a great multitool thatnot only serves as a mean to complete multitude of tasks, but also holds various important information about its user. Browsing history, text messages,bank account info and more can be collected from our device if anyone gets their grubby hands on it.

Impressive. Price of bitcoin grows very fast despite many voices against it – for example Ulrich Stephan from Deutsche Bank categorically denounces it as an untrustworthy investment.

Three years, huh? Either the cyber-thieves that attacked Imgur excel at their chosen profession or Imgur’s security, to put it lightly, sucks a*s.Roy Sehgal, chief operating officer ...

Original smartphone designs are well – otherwise they would not be original, duh. Other than BlackBerry KEYone and a few no-names, I cannot come up with a recently-released phone that was more than marginally different from its peers. Or, rather, I could not until ten minutes ago, when I heard about the NichePhone-S.What is NichePhone-S? A feature phone that happens to look like a calculator and be the size of a large credit card. Running on Android 4.2, it can be used to call or text a friend, play audio, tether or connect to Bluetooth. NichePhone-S’ specification is… ...
