ZBot (also known as Zeus, ZeusBot or WSNPoem) is a popular trojan engineered to steal sensitive data from compromised computers. Zeus was reported to be attacking the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode verification systems introduced in recent years by spoofing Visa and MasterCard enrollment screen. The latest variants can also gather the history of the visited Web sites and other data, which users provide online, while also capturing screenshots of the their desktop....

For which, interested users can sign up for the Beta on their official website.

This offers the advantage of faster connections and also better signal. CDMA is used in a number of countries so far, and so, smartphones that use this technology are in limited number, and especially Android devices. This is due to the fact that Google has stopped offering support for CDMA in Android, because Android is an open-source software, and for CDMA smartphones to work, they need special programming for every carrier....

And with the iPhone 13 series, “Cinematic Video” could be the next “this has already been done before” thing to go mainstream. Because as it did with Portrait Mode and slow-motion video, Apple has taken something that already existed but was seen as complicated and made it, well, insanely simple to use. Portrait mode…kinda sorta and a bit more Now, for those who have been busy in another part of the galaxy recently, Cinematic Video is a new feature on the iPhone 13 series (it is not available on other iPhones at the time of writing)....

Just like BitTorrent Chat, F-Secure’s new cloud service, Younited, is still in beta, so you will have to sign up to receive an email invite. Younited‘s purpose is to bring all your cloud stored files together and provide the privacy you’re looking for. So, F-Secure hopes you will import files from such services as Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, Evernote or even Office 365 to its upcoming secure cloud storage service....

This is what Opera CEO Lars Boilesen had to say “There is strong strategic and industrial logic to the acquisition of Opera by the consortium,” he further added that “The consortium’s ownership will strengthen Opera’s position to serve our users and partners with even greater innovation, and to accelerate our plans of expansion and growth.” Opera had teamed up with Morgan Stanley International and ABG Sundal Collier, and went for a buyer lookout in August last year....

It may be free and a mere 894 KB download on our Nexus 4 (when was the last time we downloaded a mobile game THAT light?) and a 2.4 MB one on our iPad mini, but we are going to put it on record – Flappy Bird is one of the most difficult and infuriating games we have played. And this, when on the surface, it is shockingly simple – you have to keep tapping the screen to keep a small bird in the air and help it get through a tricky path, between some obstacles, and the further you get, the better your score....

And one of the apps that revels in this sort of situation is the aptly named Summly. Marketed as “pocket sized news for iPhone” (it works on the iPad too, but take our word for it, it works best on the iPhone or iPod touch) Summly specializes in serving up algorithmically generated summaries of news items to your handset. That in itself would be pretty handy – imagine having to go through 400 characters rather than 800 words to get to grips with a development – but what makes the app really stand out is the manner in which this has been implemented....

The construction of the Osmo is eye grabbing, it is made up of a handheld body attached to which is the camera unit, the camera pod looks more like an eyeball and is hinged to the body. The tilt, roll. Angular movements of the Gimbal can be controlled with the switches and the trigger on the front lets you record. Since it’s a fully stabilised camera all the jerks and the unnecessary movements are automatically cancelled out thus rendering a cinematic shooting experience....

Do we Still Need Pens For Tablets? It’s a pretty well-known fact that Steve Jobs and his crew supported the fact that users should interact via gestures with their iPhones and iPads, as the hands-on approach provided customers with a much richer and intimate experience. Apple did try to test the success of the stylus in 1993 with Newton MessagePad (I still find it to look great). In the biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson discussed with the late Apple boss this issue, referring to the dawn of the idea that was attributed to a Microsoft engineer who had a reputation of saying too much at parties: With the increased popularity of the iPad came the age of oblivion for the stylus....

PwnageTool 4.01 was released yesterday by the iPhone dev team to jailbreak iOS 4.0 on iPhone 3GS. But PwnageTool is only for Mac. For Windows users, RedSn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 was the only jailbreaking tool available which doesn’t work for iPhone 3GS. If you have iPhone 3GS with old bootrom and already pwned on 3.1.2 with anything other than Spirit, then download Sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 for Windows and get it jailbroken now....

The Windows 7 DVD has a complete “recovery center” that provides you with the option of recovering your system via automated recovery, rolling back to a system restore point, recovering a full PC backup, or accessing a command-line recovery console for advanced recovery purposes. But, as I said earlier, most of the PC manufacturers don’t give you the DVD. But the good news is that Microsoft has tried to address this problem and has thankfully made a recovery disc for this purpose....

That being said its quite likely that the Nik collection will not be free for long or the company would rather bring out a freemium model in play. DxO, on the other hand, has assured that the Nik collection will be free for the time being while the company works on a new version for 2018. Google had acquired the Nik along with Snapseed in 2012. Immediately after the acquisition, the price of the Nik Collection went down from $500 to $150 in 2013, and it was finally offered for free in 2016....

I have always found it to be a tad bit annoying that one had to manually keep a track of the live stream and would get a notification only once it starts. The another problem was the absence of a shareable link, so all one could do is send an invite with the timings on it. This new feature will definitely help the bigger players including brands and celebrities who usually follow a schedule when it comes to Live broadcasts....

The first look of the phone would instantly remind you about either Samsung Galaxy S6 or the new S7 – thanks to the contour of the phone. Pick up the phone and it actually feels really good in the hand and it fits well too, thanks to the curved nature of the profile that is similar to the ones on the Motorola phones. And you will feel every bit of special back – sandstone....

Hacking Team is known for exposing zero-day vulnerabilities, the loopholes in software which are unknown to the vendor. The loopholes are further exploited by the clients to discreetly inject the target with their software. As a matter of fact, the researchers have also found out several zero-days in the deluge of leaked e-mails since last month. The company’s update labeled MS15-078 has fixed a flaw in the rendering of OpenType fonts which is jointly created by Adobe and Microsoft....

There’s no doubt that Samsung makes some of the most good-looking Chromebooks out there. And with its latest model, the company is building on the same design language. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 boasts of a QLED display — making it the first-ever Chromebook to feature one. This display comes in at 13.3-inches and offers an FHD resolution. Galaxy Chromebook 2 comes in two colorways: Fiesta Red and Mercury Gray. At its core, Samsung is employing two different processors on the Galaxy Chromebook 2, giving rise to two variants: one running on the 10th-gen Intel Core i3-10110U processor, while the other using the 10th-gen Intel Celeron 5205U processor....

Gionee India’s MD and CEO Arvind Vohra has the knack of getting the giggles going in any room, and yesterday was no different as he took the stage to announce his company’s association with some of the biggest tech retailers in the country – Croma, Jumbo, Hotspot, Mobiliti World, The Mobile Store and Planet M. The tie-up is expected to give the Chinese manufacturer, which has been doing surprisingly well in India (almost 6-7 per cent of the market in terms of value) a greater thrust in the big cities....
