How a theif turns a credit card Reader into A "Skimmmer" within 3 seconds

Skimming is an effective technique used by thieves to steal credit card information from old and classic debit/credit card scanners. Recently, in Miami, two people were caught on camera who placed a skimmer on a credit card scanner in less than three seconds.
Surprisingly, turning a regular credit card reader into a device to steal users’ credit card information — a device commonly known as skimmer — can take just three seconds. This was revealed when an unidentified man placed a skimmer on a gas station credit card scanner in Miami.
Miami Beach police have released the surveillance video of two men whose activity was recorded on the camera as they placed a credit card skimmer over a debit/credit card at a gas station. This incident took place last week.

How the thief turned a credit card reader into a skimmer?

If you take a look at the video — we’ve shared it below — you will notice that one of the men distracts the clerk working at the store, while the other person places the skimmer over the payment keyboard near the register. This happened so fast — under 3 seconds — that you might have to rewatch the whole sequence to catch the thief.
Fortunately, the skimmer became loose on the keypad and the clerk called the cops. This video clip has been released by the police to get help in identifying the two men caught in the video.
It should be noted that skimming is an old technique that’s still very effective if a merchant is using an old and classic credit card system.
Here’s the whole video —

Cybersecurity System IDs Malware Hidden in Short Twitter Links

Twitter and Facebook users can all too easily get a computer virus when they click on malware links shared by unsuspecting friends. To identify such malicious links on social media, UK researchers have developed a system that recognizes potential cyber attacks within seconds of clicking on a shortened Twitter link.
The “machine classifier” system has learned to identify malware activity in the system logs of infected machines just moments after clicking on suspicious links, according to a Cardiff University press release. It proved capable of identifying possible cyber attacks within five seconds with up to 83 percent accuracy. Given half a minute, it could identify cyber attacks with up to 98 percent accuracy.
“URLs are always shortened on Twitter due to character limitations in posts, so it’s incredibly difficult to know which are legitimate,” said Pete Burnap, director of the Social Data Science Lab at Cardiff University in the UK, in a press release statement. “Once infected the malware can turn your computer into a zombie computer and become part of a global network of machines used to hide information or route further attacks.”
Shortened links pose an identification challenge for current anti-virus software as well as for social media users. That’s in part because many anti-virus solutions have a tough time detecting previously unseen cyber attacks without knowing their code signatures, Burnap said. By analyzing the machine logs for suspicious patterns, the new cybersecurity research could eventually help develop a real-time system capable of protecting Twitter and Facebook users.
The machine classifier system trained itself by analyzing tweets containing shortened URLs from the 2015 Super Bowl and cricket world cup finals. Burnap and his colleagues from several other UK universities hope to stress-test the system by analyzing Twitter traffic from the European Football Championships coming up next summer.
To collect and analyze those Twitter links, researchers used an open-source “client honeypot” called Capture HPC, which was originally developed by Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. The client honeypot acts as a security device capable of monitoring and isolating data to investigate it for suspicious activity.
In this case, Capture HPC looked for possible patterns of malicious activity related to malware by monitoring changes in the files, registry files and processes. It also ran within a Virtual Machine environment to further isolate the malware’s changes to the system. More details on the research come from a paper presented at the 2015 IEEE / ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining in August 2015.

Facebook Monitoring you

Whenever you’re on Facebook, do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? An ad pops up that’s right up your alley, or three new articles show up in your feed that are similar to something you’ve just clicked on.
Sometimes it seems like Facebook knows you personally, and that’s because it does. It has algorithms that track what you like, watch and click on. That information is then passed along to Facebook advertisers.
Facebook itself isn’t the only culprit. Tons of companies use Facebook’s platform as a way to track you. In fact, right now there a probably dozens of companies that are watching your posts, storing your profile information and more, without you even realizing it. Today, I’m going to tell you how to stop it.
How did this happen in the first place?
When Facebook first started out, people rushed to the platform because of the many perks that it offered. One of those perks, and probably the most appealing, was the fact that Facebook was entirely ad-free. You could use the platform to connect with family and friends without being bothered by someone trying to sell you something.
Well, like they say, “All good things must come to an end.”  Eventually, Facebook began selling ads like everyone else. And that’s when everything changed.
People realized that Facebook provided a treasure trove of information for advertisers. By clicking “like” users were telling companies exactly what they wanted -- more of this, less of that, please. This led to the big data tracking we now see.
Three sneaky ways companies are tracking you:
Most people understand that Facebook is tracking their preferences whenever they use the app. But, few realize they’re being tracked in other ways too. And, that’s what these third-party companies are banking on. If you don’t know you’re being tracked, then you won’t ask them to stop. So, here are three things to watch out for.
Facebook appsThis is when you receive a request to play a Facebook game your friends are obsessed with, and you decide to sign up. If you’ve ever done this before, then you’ve allowed that app developer track you. These third-party apps integrate with your Facebook profile and generally have permission to pull whatever information they want. And although you can edit what information they can access, very few people do.
Facebook logins: This is when you visit a site and it says "Log in with Facebook," and you do, then you're letting that company track you.
Friends’ apps monitoring you: Even if you didn’t download an app, Facebook's default settings allow apps your friends have installed to also see YOU. It’s pretty scary.
How to stop it from happening:
You might be wondering why this even matters, and how it really impacts you personally. The easiest way to answer those questions is to point out all of those big data breaches you hear about almost daily. Hackers rarely waste time on individuals these days. They’ve got much bigger fish to fry. Large retailers, for example – or the databases where these third-party companies store the information they’ve gathered. That’s why everyone should take these steps to protect their private information.
Review and edit installed apps: To see what apps you've installed over the years, open Facebook in your browser, click the down arrow in the upper right corner and select "Settings." Then click on the "Apps" header in the left column.
To see what information an app is accessing, click the pencil icon next to any of the apps to see and edit the settings. The first setting lets you set who can see that you use the app. It defaults to "Only Me," so it isn't a big deal. Below it, however, is another story.
In the case of Skype, for example, it pulls your public profile information along with your list of friends, email address, birthday and hometown.
Remember that this information is being stored on a third-party server. Not every app developer is going to have Microsoft-level security, and hackers are good at turning tiny pieces of stolen information into big gains.
If you want to keep using the app, you can deselect certain items, such as your email address. Be aware that won't remove the information from the app developer's servers, however. If you change your email address in the future, however, the developer won't get the new one.
Remove apps you don’t use: If you don't want to use the app anymore, you can click the "Remove app" link at the bottom of the page. Just remember that this won't automatically remove your information from the app developer's servers. For that you'll need to contact the app developer directly. Facebook has a link for more information on this under the "Remove info collected by the app" section in the app's settings.
Turn off apps completely: If you've deleted all the apps, and you're not keen on accidentally installing more in the future, you can turn off the app platform completely. Just note you won't be able to install apps or log in to third-party sites using Facebook until you turn this back on.
To turn off the app platform, go back to the App Settings page. Under "Apps, Websites and Plugins," click the "Edit" button. At first, this just looks like a way to disable app notifications and invites from other people, which is a big help on its own. However, you'll want to click the "Disable Platform" link in the bottom left corner.
Facebook gives you the standard warning about what disabling the platform does. If you're OK with it, click the "Disable Platform" button. Again, this won't remove information that app developers might have collected about you already.
Stop logging into sites using Facebook: In the future, when you're adding an app or logging into a website try to avoid logging in with Facebook. But, if you must use Facebook to log in, then look for the "Log in Anonymously" or “Guest” option so it won’t share your information.
Stop friends' apps from seeing your info: Apps can still get your information through your friends. By default as your friends install apps, those apps have permission to grab whatever info about you your friends can see.
To put a stop to this, go back to the App Settings page. Then under "Apps Others Use" click the "Edit" button.
You'll see everything that your friends' apps can see about you. Go through and uncheck every option listed on the page, and then click "Save." Now companies can't track new information about you.
Apps aren't the only worry you'll run into on Facebook. Recently I told you how scammers use Facebook like-farming can put your privacy at risk

Empowering Students around the world to achieve more


Microsoft committed to building immersive and inclusive learning experiences for students and teachers. Experiences that build 21st-century skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and computational thinking.
Everything Microsoft create will be centered around four core promises — empowering teachers and students to:
  • Create and share in entirely new ways
  • Teach and learn through doing and exploring
  • Accommodate any learning style
  • Focus the classroom experience on learning outcomes — not technology
ChrisCap Call Final v2Microsoft working hard to bring these promises to life through compelling experiences that we hope you will love — experiences like OneNote, Skype, Sway and Minecraft.
Microsoft seeing incredible excitement around OneNote — it’s a really powerful tool that makes it easy for teachers to organize all of their class materials into one digital notebook. Accessing and preparing lessons and assignments from any device, and combining handwriting, text, Web content, even audio and video, for more compelling content and personalized learning.
OneNote Class Notebooks provide a framework for teaching and learning. It’s a central collaboration space, a content library to store class materials and an individual notebook for every student in the class that teachers can see real time  to provide feedback.
Take a look at how the Torkinmäki School in Finland uses OneNote Class Notebook on a daily basis to enable new ways of creating and sharing:
I also really love the new Learning Tools for OneNote add-in – where students can access expanded reading and writing experiences, with support for learning disabilities like dyslexia. Learning Tools incorporates special text formatting, advanced dictation, focus mode and immersive reading modes that can make classroom activities easier for students with learning differences.
onenote
Skype in the Classroom is an amazing, free global community for teachers to collaborate on classroom projects using Skype.  With Skype in the Classroom you can play Mystery Skype with another classroom from around the globe, connect with guest speakers to inspire your classroom and take students on virtual field trips.
Sway is a really cool storytelling app that makes it quick and easy to create polished, interactive lessons, assignments, reports, newsletters and more – right from any device. Sways are easy to share with the class, or the world, and look great on any screen.​​​
“Minecraft” is loved by students and teachers around the world, and is already being used in more than 7,000 classrooms in more than 40 countries  — teaching students everything from STEM subjects to art and poetry. In January, Microsft announced the new Minecraft: Education Edition that offers an expanded set of features designed for the classroom.
“In education, Microsoft constantly seeking pathways to explore learning beyond the confines of a textbook. Minecraft allows us that opportunity,” said Rafranz Davis, executive director of Professional Development and Learning at the Lufkin Independent School District in Texas. “When we see our kids enjoying the process of learning in this way, it’s a game changer.”
One of the most exciting computer science resources is the BBC micro:bit, being rolled out by the BBC, supported by Microsoft and a range of other partners — it will soon be empowering virtually every Year 7 student (age 11-12) in the United Kingdom. The BBC micro:bit is a wearable computing device smaller than a credit card that students can use to explore the possibilities of computer science – doing, making and creating!
Devices for every learning style
More and more, educators are asking us about affordable devices and simple management. Microsoft have a great portfolio ofnew Windows 10 devices starting at $199, designed for the demands of education.
And Microsoft want teachers focused on learning, not technology. The combination of new Windows 10 devices, the Lightspeed Systems Management Bundle for Windows, and free online productivity tools for teachers and students through Office 365 Education make for simple and easy device setup and management – driving lower total cost of ownership.
Looking ahead
There are 1.5 billion teachers and students in primary and secondary education today — and Microsoft  committed to the quest to empower them to achieve more. We’re hard at work to surprise and delight you with great new education experiences – Microsoft expect to share some exciting news in April, so stay tuned!

9 Crazy things we learned about pluto last Year

Pluto haze and more

For years, Pluto was just a blue dot in diagrams of the solar system, but very recently a more colorful view of the former planet has come together thanks to one well-traveled robot.
It's been over a year since NASA's New Horizons spacecraft first sent back images of Pluto, leading up to its dramatic fly-by in July of 2015. Data is still streaming back to Earth for analysis, adding to the more complete picture of the dwarf planet that New Horizons is painting for us.
In this gallery we've highlighted the strangest, most surprising and just plain awesome things we've learned about Pluto in the past year. For starters, it's super hazy on Pluto. In this image about 20 haze layers are visible extending over hundreds of kilometers of the dwarf planet.

Samsung

Virtual reality can make you think you're racing down a speedway in a zooming car. But if you can see the scene all around you, why can't you feel it as well, taking in the motion as you hug the turns?
That's what Entrim 4D headphones, unveiled this week at the South by Southwest tech, film and music festival in Austin, Texas, try to deliver. The prototype device is from Samsung's Creative Lab, a startup "incubator" that lets employees take time out from their full-time jobs to develop product ideas.
Unlike with most headphones, the main purpose of the Entrim 4D is not to pump out sound, though it does that, too. Instead, the marquee feature is that it sends an electrical signal to the nerve of your ear, which regulates balance and motion. That tricks your brain into thinking you're moving.
"Most VR demos, you're in a chair," Steve Jung, the 32-year-old head of the project, said in an interview Tuesday. His point is that motion usually isn't part of the VR experience.
If he can make it work, that could add a crucial element to virtual reality, bringing a fuller sensory experience to an already immersive environment. In fact, Entrim is a shortening of "enter the immersive world," said Jung. Anything that can add to the experience is key, given Silicon Valley's obsession with the medium. Google, HTC and Facebook -- with which Samsung partnered for its Gear VR headset through Oculus, the social network's virtual reality company -- all have their own efforts in the works.

The headphones send an electrical signal to the part of the ear that regulates your balance and motion.

I tried the Entrim 4D with a race car demo. It really does feel like you're moving, though the feeling I got was a little more like seasickness. The movement does match up with the video. When I moved my head to the left with a turn, I feel a swaying motion. But it feels more like you're rocking back and forth on a boat, instead of looping through a racetrack.
When Jung asked me how it felt, I told him I feel a little dizzy.
Yoon Chiyuh, the project's hardware engineer, said the sensation is realistic. "When you're in a car, you feel dizzy," he said. "It's the same."
Jung said he got the idea from a friend, an emergency medical technician, who told him about vestibular signals to the ear. Samsung says it's safe. Jung explains the same methods are used to train pilots and help restore balance to stroke patients.
The team tested the product on 1,500 people to hone the experience, and it developed 30 different movement patterns. You can, thankfully, adjust the level of the motion to make the feeling less intense.
