UK convicts man over manga sex images of children
A 39-year-old UK man has been convicted of possessing illegal cartoon drawings of young girls exposing themselves in school uniforms and engaging in sex acts. The case is believed to be the UK's first prosecution of illegal manga and anime images. Local media said that Robul Hoque was sentenced last week to nine months' imprisonment, though the sentence is suspended so long as the defendant does n
Google disables “domain fronting” capability used to evade censors
Google's App Engine may not have been designed to provide a way for developers to evade censors, but for the past few years it has offered one, via a technique known as domain fronting. By wrapping communications to a service with a request to an otherwise innocuous domain or IP address range such as Google's, application developers can conceal requests to domains otherwise blocked by state or cor
When you go to a security conference, and its mobile app leaks your data
Enlarge / Screenshots of the RSA Conference application from the Google Play Store. The app's Web interface leaked attendee data when supplied with a token obtained by registering the app. A mobile application built by a third party for the RSA security conference in San Francisco this week was found to have a few security issues of its own—including hard-coded security keys and passwords that all
Whatever it was, the secretive Zuma mission is now in space

Uber self-driving car crashes into another car in Pittsburgh
After the crash, McLemore confronted the safety driver of the Uber vehicle, capturing the conversation in a video she posted to Facebook.

Network of fortified towns indicates Amazon was once heavily populated
A team lead by University of Exeter archaeologists Jonas Gregorio de Souza and José Iriarte used free satellite images on Google Earth and Zoom Earth to survey 54,000 square km of remote forest in the upper basin of the Tapajós River in Brazil. In cleared spaces where they could get a clear view of the ground, the satellites revealed a surprising number of ditches and earthen walls that once surro
There’s a currency miner in the Mac App Store, and Apple seems OK with it
Resource-draining currency miners are a regular part of the Google Play market, as scammers pump out apps that covertly harness millions of devices, in some cases with malware so aggressive it can physically damage phones. A popular title in the Mac App Store recently embraced coin mining openly, and so far Apple gatekeepers haven't blocked it. The app is Calendar 2, a scheduling app that aims to
Chrome on Windows ditches Microsoft’s compiler, now uses Clang
Google's Chrome browser is now built using the Clang compiler on Windows. Previously built using the Microsoft C++ compiler, Google is now using the same compiler for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and the switch makes Chrome arguably the first major software project to use Clang on Windows. Chrome on macOS and Linux has long been built using the Clang compiler and the LLVM toolchain. The ope
Nope, this isn’t the HTTPS-validated Stripe website you think it is
For a decade, some security professionals have held out extended validation certificates as an innovation in website authentication because they require the person applying for the credential to undergo legal vetting. That's a step up from less stringent domain validation that requires applicants to merely demonstrate control over the site's Internet name. Now, a researcher has shown how EV certif

How Kaspersky AV reportedly was caught helping Russian hackers steal NSA secrets
Last week, The Wall Street Journal dropped a bombshell when it reported that Russian government hackers located confidential National Security Agency material improperly stored on an employee's home computer with help from Kaspersky antivirus, which happened to be installed. On Tuesday, The New York Times and The Washington Post provided another shocker: the Russian hackers were caught in the act
