Weekly Challenge (that’s not always weekly)

Samsung Recalls New Galaxy Note7 Due to Exploding Batteries [Updated] – Mac Rumors

According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, an unnamed Samsung official says the company is conducting an investigation and is expected to announce the results this weekend or early next week. Samsung has indeed traced the explosions to the battery of the device and is in talks with Verizon and other U.S. business partners to figure out how to deal with the issue.

Hoopla

Qualcomm will reportedly not support Nougat on Snapdragon 800/801 Androids

Qualcomm “will not release graphics drivers” for either the 801 or 800 CPU, so the “HTC One M8 and other devices” based on said processors “won’t get official Android 7.0.” Going deeper, it sounds like this odd “refusal” to support a pair of still very robust SoCs relates to Nougat’s Vulkan API integration, a new high-performance 3D graphics standard the SD800 and 801 are simply not compatible with.

Apple Might Pull Your App!

Effective immediately Apple will be going through the App Store looking for apps that have not been properly maintained and ultimately will remove them from the App Store.

• Seriously, turn in your Galaxy Note 7 before it explodes

A small percentage of units—35 have been identified so far—have exploded or caught fire while charging due to a flaw in the phone’s lithium battery. Yep, exploded.

In 1 minute, Slack founder will make you rethink how to sell innovation

What we are selling is _not _the software product — the set of all the features, in their specific implementation — because there are just not many buyers for this software product.

WordPress now powers 25% of the Web – Is The Market Owned?

The latest data comes from W3Techs, which measures both usage and market share: “WordPress is used by 58.7% of all the websites whose content management system we know. This is 25.0% of all websites.” While these numbers naturally fluctuate over the course of the month, the general trend for WordPress has been slow but steady growth.

Google Just Open Sourced TensorFlow, Its Artificial Intelligence Engine

This software is called _TensorFlow, and in literally giving the technology away, Google believes it can accelerate the evolution of AI. Through open source, outsiders can help improve on Google’s technology and, yes, return these improvements back to Google._

Google built the underlying TensorFlow software with the C++ programming language. But in developing applications for this AI engine, coders can use either C++ or Python, the most popular language among deep learning researchers. The hope, however, is that outsiders will expand the tool to other languages, including Google Go, Java, and perhaps even Javascript, so that coders have more ways of building apps.

• TensorFlow.org

TensorFlow(tm) is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google’s Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well.

Lenovo To Wipe Superfish Off PCs t

An anonymous reader send news from the Wall Street Journal, where Lenovo CTO Peter Hortensius said in an interview that the company will roll out a software update to remove the Superfish adware from its laptops. “As soon as the programmer is finished, we will provide a tool that removes all traces of the app from people’s laptops; this goes further than simply uninstalling the app. Once the app-wiping software is finished tonight or tomorrow, we’ll issue a press release with information on how to get it.” When asked whether his company vets the software they pre-install on their machines, he said, “Yes, we do. Obviously in this case we didn’t do enough. The intent of loading this tool was to help enhance our users’ shopping experience. The feedback from users was that it wasn’t useful, and that’s why we turned it off. Our reputation is everything and our products are ultimately how we have our reputation.”

Change Your Password: Hackers Are Leaking Dropbox User Info

After first surfacing Reddit, several Pastebin files have been found to contain hundreds of Dropbox users’ usernames and passwords—and the anonymous poster claims that there are millions more to come.

• According to the Next Web, the leaked lists are meant to entice users to donate Bitcoin, at which point the purported hacker will release more users’ info. The message atop the list reads:
  

  Here is another batch of Hacked Dropbox accounts from the massive hack of 7,000,000 accounts

  To see plenty more, just search on [redacted] for the term Dropbox hack.

  More to come, keep showing your support

• To put it another way: You need to change your password. Now. And then make sure that two-factor authentication is turned on.

Update 11:29pm:

• A spokesperson from Dropbox has provided us with the following statement:
  

  Dropbox has not been hacked. These usernames and passwords were unfortunately stolen from other services and used in attempts to log in to Dropbox accounts. We’d previously detected these attacks and the vast majority of the passwords posted have been expired for some time now. All other remaining passwords have been expired as well.

Decline in PC Sales Starts to Slow; Largest Makers See Growth – NYTimes.com

IDC and Gartner on Wednesday released numbers on the worldwide demand for PCs that showed only a slight drop in demand, a distinct contrast to the trend of the last three years. This likely means, analysts said, that consumers may not be choosing tablets and smartphones over PCs to the same degree they had in the past. Soon, they said, the industry might see growth again.

It has come already for the biggest manufacturers. Companies like Lenovo, Hewlett- Packard and Dell all had good growth, particularly in a strong U.S. market.

In the United States, IDC said 17.3 million PCs were shipped, an increase of 4.3 percent from a year ago. Gartner put the number at 16.9 million, a rise of 4.2 percent. The top five companies were HP, Dell, Apple, Lenovo and Toshiba, both IDC and Gartner said.

MIUI 6

I’m not sure who should be more upset. Apple, because this is such a preposterously shameless ripoff of iOS. Or Samsung, because Xiaomi is so much better at ripping off Apple than they are.

Update: Keep in mind, too, that Xiaomi VP Hugo Barra keeps insisting they don’t copy designs from Apple. Even Thom Holwerda agrees that this is just shameless.

Android, iOS gobble up even more global smartphone share | PCWorld

According to IDC, the total combined market share of Android and iOS swelled to 96.4 percent during the second quarter, up from 92.6 percent a year ago. That left just 2.5 percent of the market to Windows Phone, down from 3.4 percent in a year’s time.

Unfortunately for Microsoft’s Windows Phone, Apple’s iOS devices dominated the high end of the market, while Android—with 84.7-percent global share in smartphone operating systems—tended to dominate the low-end, sub-$200 market. That left precious little room for Windows Phone, even though recent efforts to lower the platform’s licensing costs should have helped propel it in the market.

“With many of its OEM partners focusing on the sub-$200 segments, Android has been reaping huge gains within emerging markets,” said Ramon Llamas, a research manager with IDC’s mobile phone team, in a statement. “During the second quarter, 58.6 percent of all Android smartphone shipments worldwide cost less than $200 off contract, making them very attractive compared to other devices. With the recent introduction of Android One, in which Google offers reference designs below $100 to Android OEMs, the proportion of sub-$200 volumes will climb even higher.”

Thanks to:

Show Notes:

Cost of stolen identities at all time low due to excessive supply

• There is so much supply of stolen identities that the going price for a US identity has fallen to a record low $25
• Foreign identities are worth only $40
• Credentials for a bank account with between $70,000 and $150,000 costs a mere $300
• \”Fullz,\” or personal identities, went for $40 per U.S. stolen ID and $60 for a stolen overseas ID in 2011 when Dell SecureWorks last studied pricing in the underground marketplace.
• Now those IDs are 33 to 37 percent cheaper.
• Pricing trends are interesting, says Raj Samani, CTO of McAfee. But they also can be misleading, he says, because prices are all over the map.
• “You can have varying prices depending on the sources you go to.\”
• McAfee in its June cybercrime study found a DDoS-for-hire service for $2 per hour, and another for $3 per hour, for instance, he says.
• Dell SecureWorks found DDoS services anywhere from $3- to $5 per hour, $90- to $100 per day, and $400 to $600 a month.
• The cost of getting a website hacked runs from $100 to $300, with more experienced black hat hackers charging more for their services. In an interesting twist, the researchers found that these attackers stipulated that they don\’t hack government or military websites.
• Doxing services—where a hacker steals as much information as they can about a victim or target via social media, social engineering, or Trojan infection—ranges from $25 to $100.
• Bots are cheap, too: 1,000 bots go for $20, and 15,000, for $250.

Adobe top passwords crossword

• For once, we can have a little fun with a major site being compromised
• The website is a crossword puzzle, made up of some of the top passwords that have been bruteforced or guessed from the ‘encrypted’ Adobe database
• The ‘clues’ are peoples password hints
• Because Adobe did not use a ‘salt’, all users who had the same password, had the same encrypted password, so by combining the password hints of all of the users with the same password, it gets much easier to guess common passwords
• It seems many people use names of people they know, parents and grandparents using children seems excessively prevalent
• Top 100 actual passwords

Earlier this month, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff announced plans to create an undersea fiber-optic cable that would funnel internet traffic between South America and Europe, bypassing the US entirely.

• Brazilian president Rousseff: US surveillance a ‘breach of international law’ | World news | The Guardian

Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff, has launched a blistering attack on US espionage at the UN general assembly, accusing the NSA of violating international law by its indiscriminate collection of personal information of Brazilian citizens and economic espionage targeted on the country’s strategic industries.
Rousseff’s angry speech was a direct challenge to President Barack Obama, who was waiting in the wings to deliver his own address to the UN general assembly, and represented the most serious diplomatic fallout to date from the revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

• NSA planted bugs at Indian missions in D.C., U.N. – The Hindu

  According to a top-secret NSA document obtained by The Hindu, the NSA selected India’s U.N. office and the embassy as “location target” for infiltrating their computers and telephones with hi-tech bugs, which might have given them access to vast quantities of Internet traffic, e-mails, telephone and office conversations and even official documents stored digitally.
  Though emails sent to India’s New York mission have remained unanswered so far, an Indian diplomat told The Hindu that the NSA eavesdropping might have done “extensive damage” to India’s stand on many international issues ranging from UN Security Council reforms to peacekeeping operations. “If they could implant bugs inside communications equipment of European Union office here and tap into their communications cables as well, there is no reason to believe that they didn’t snoop on us,” said the diplomat, speaking strictly on condition of anonymity.

Economic Dissonance

• How income inequality hurts America – Sep. 25, 2013

“The 400 richest people in the United States have more wealth than the bottom 150 million put together,” said Berkeley Professor and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich on a recent CNNMoney panel on inequality.

• Ex-Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich warns about income inequality

Former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich, who served in the Clinton administration, warned during an interview of the perils of widening income inequality in the United States, excessive executive compensation and the future of labor.

Reich is promoting his new documentary, “Inequality for All,” which looks at the income gap and possible solutions. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and won a special jury prize in the documentary competition for director Jacob Kornbluth.

• This Map Will Show You The Staggering Growth In Income Inequality Over The Past 40 Years

To put the staggering rise in income inequality another way: The incomes of the bottom 90 percent of Americans, adjusted for inflation, grew by $59 on average between 1966 and 2011, while the average income of the top 10 percent grew by $116,071 during the same period, according to an analysis by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston.

• Treasury Puts a Date on When Cash May Run Out – Oct. 17

The Treasury will only have $30 billion of cash on hand by mid-October, putting the United States on the precipice of an unprecedented default, the department said on Wednesday.

In the letter, Mr. Lew set Oct. 17 as the effective deadline for Congressional action: after that date, the country would be at severe risk of missing or defaulting on some of its payments every day going forward.

The Treasury makes more than 80 million individual payments a month. After exhausting its extraordinary measures, it would miss about 30 percent of those payments until Congress raised the ceiling again.

According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Treasury is facing a $12 billion Social Security payment on Oct. 23 and a $6 billion interest payment on the public debt on Oct. 31.

On Nov. 1 alone, it needs to spend $18 billion on Medicare, $25 billion on Social Security, $12 billion on military pay and veterans benefits and $3 billion on the Supplemental Security Income program.

Yahoo to start recycling disused email addresses, introduces new security feature to prevent abuse

• Yahoo’s email server has been running for a very very long time
• As such, many of the best usernames are taken, even though many of them have not been used in a decade
• So, Yahoo plans to start recycling those addresses that are no longer used
• The obvious problem with a move like this is that if there are any accounts still tied to this old email address, the new owner can request a password reset to the email address that they now control, and take over that account
• Yahoo’s Developers have come up with a rather ingenious way to prevent this, although the implementation is dependant on the 3rd party services to implement it (Facebook already has)
• Yahoo’s mail servers will now respect the non-standard header ‘Require­-Recipient­-Valid­-Since’
• The idea is that when Facebook sends a password reset email, they include this header with the date that the facebook account was created, if the yahoo email address is NEWER than that date, it may not belong to the same person any more, and yahoo will send a bounce message back to Facebook, rather than delivering the email
• This prevents someone from acquiring the disused email address and performing the password reset
• Yahoo has created an IETF Draft specification for this header, if ratified, it will become an internet standard and be added to the IANA Permanent Message Header Field registry
• It is not yet clear if other services such as Twitter will implement this
• It seems unlikely that Online Banking and other services will implement this system, so make sure all of your online services have a valid current email address, preferably one you plan to keep for the long term

The business of selling 0day exploits is booming

• There are a number of businesses selling zero day exploits including: Vupen in Montpellier, France; Netragard in Acton, Mass.; Exodus Intelligence in Austin, Tex.; and ReVuln in Malta
• There is as a Virginia startup called Endgame, apparently involving a former director of the NSA which is doing a lot of undisclosed business with the US Government
• The USA, Israel, Britain, Russia, India and Brazil spend staggering amounts of money buying these exploits
• Many other countries including North Korea, a number of Middle Eastern intelligence agencies, Malaysia and Singapore are also in the market
• These exploits have value both offensively and defensively, if you know the details of a zero day exploit, you can better protect yourself from others who may know about it as well
• However if you report it to the vendor so it gets patched, you protect everyone, but lose the offensive value
• The average zero-day exploits goes undetected for 312 days, before it gets used enough that AV vendors notice it and it gets reported and patched
• Services like Vupen charge $100,000/year for access to their catalogue, with varying prices of the actual exploits
• Netragard only sells to US clients, and reports that the average flaw now sells from $35,000 to $160,000
• In years past, rather than selling these flaws to companies like Vupen and ReVuln, who then sell them to governments, security researchers would report them to vendors like Microsoft and Google, just for the recognition and sometimes a t-shirt
• Many vendors now have bug bounty programs to reward researchers for reporting vulnerabilities, rather than keeping them, using them or selling them
• To counter this, Microsoft recently raised its bug bounty reward program, now up to $150,000

• Bitcoin at the G8 Summit (pg 60)

Written by “John Lyons, chief executive, International Cyber Security Protection Alliance”

As world leaders gather at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland this year, they will be considering and debating some of the most pressing global issues of our time. Those that specialise in the cyberspace arena hope that they will also have time to address the deeply worrying trends that threaten the economic and social benefits that the internet can deliver to humankind.

As highlighted by the latest initiative of the United States to arrest some of the suspects that were involved in Liberty Reserve (a group indicted for money laundering that ran a $6 billion worldwide operation out of Costa Rica), alternative payment mechanisms, such as Bitcoin and a host of others, can enable criminal and terrorist groups to launder money and fund their operations.
Governments around the world could take two measures that would have a significant
and long-lasting effect on the ability of online criminals to secure their ill-gotten gains: 1. Outlaw alternative payment mechanisms for trading currencies online; and 2. Introduce legislation to confiscate the proceeds of online crime.

If treasuries and financial institutions around the world were to block those transactions and permit only legitimate currencies to be used on the internet through regulated payment service providers and cards (such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express), then the flow of many billions of dollars to criminal groups would be stemmed. Furthermore, if those same countries introduced, if necessary, additional legislation to confiscate the proceeds of such online crime, these funds could be either returned to those who had been defrauded or used to fund international projects that could bring about a more safe and secure internet environment for all citizens.

If the leaders of the European Union and United States could be convinced to take a lead on these initiatives, that would be a huge contribution to making the internet a safe place for financial transactions. At the same time, it would also strike a blow against those who would try to destroy the fabric of our the world’s well-being.

Europe is better positioned as a better place to create Bitcoin-based startups than the US. That was the message coming out of Bitcoin London today, the first major conference in London to cover startups, investors and business models. Covering the broad sweep of businesses, technologists and institutions involved in the Bitcoin space, the conference heard that the US may have made a fatal strategic mistake in classifying Bitcoin as if it were money so early on in its development.

What has emerged is that Bitcoin is being treated in many different ways: as money, as an asset class, as the first highly secure P2P global information exchange, as a technology platform and even as a if it were a startup entity in its own right

Now, onto the Ouya. I am not the biggest fan of The Verge, they really like to go down on Apple\’s \’little Apple\’. But they did bring up one good point: because all the games need a free version, most games are plauged by nagging for DLC and freemium content with ads. That\’s a huge loss and would drive anybody insane, and would discredit the Ouya as a \’serious\’ gaming platform. Another thing is I don\’t think Ouya\’s upgrade frequency will help them, the way that processors are exponentially getting faster, people will start expecting better and better graphics. And devs would find it hard to keep both ends of the spectrum, high graphics and compatibility with old versions of the console, in balance.

Also, I don\’t think that you have the demographic that will buy the Ouya correct. Gamers will still buy consoles and PCs, but the WalMart crowd that buys cheapo tablets and smartphones would love the Ouya and all of it\’s free games.)

So even if you are playing alone at home, you will still need an internet connection to keep the console running.

Brian’s War Story

Hello Michael and Chris,

I work in a medium sized development shop with about 20 developers working on what\’s essentially an enterprise client side app. I have always considered our process for releasing bug fix updates as being rather backwards and poorly executed. Essentially our head of \”QA\” will send an e-mail one morning to all developers that the code is \”frozen\”.

He will then do a build, test it for 4 or 5 days and then send an e-mail to everyone that the code is \”unfrozen\”. During this \”frozen\” time the developers are still expected to continue fixing bugs but rather than check in their changes they are supposed to \”sit\” on them, usually for several days, until the \”unfrozen\” e-mail is sent out. At this point a free-for-all of code check in commences with all sorts of conflict and collision shenanigans.

That said, there is nothing physically restricting the checking in of code. If a developer doesn\’t see the \”fr eeze\” e-mail or simply forgets after a few days then \”QA\” unleashes their wrath on the poor sod. I\’m sure you can see all sorts of problems with this joke of a build/test/release process and I am even a little embarrassed just describing it. I would like to offer some suggestions to my superiors about ways to improve this and was wondering if you guys had any thoughts or suggestions.

One, perhaps obvious idea would be to switch to using Git as we are still using the ancient CVS for source control. However I\’m still very much a novice and trying to learn it better in my spare time. How would you suggest to use Git in a way that we can improve our build/test/release cycle? Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions to bring our release cycle up to a more sane and reasonable, not to mention modern process?

Thanks for your thoughts and thank you for the awesome show you do each week.

Sincerely,
Brian M.
