VPN is an encrypted tunnel between your android device and a server. Using a VPN gives your device a new IP address and hides your real IP, to make you anonymous to all websites and web apps. Thus, having a VPN allows you to surf the web safely and anonymously.

The need for increased security on Internet is getting higher and higher. This is how VPN services appeared. A VPN service (Virtual Private Network) is a computer network aiming to:

- create a private scope of computer communications
- provide a secure extension of a private network into an insecure network such as the Internet.


ibVPN (Invisible Browsing VPN) allow you to unblock Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, BBC Iplayer and other geo restricted websites. Also, it keeps you safe from 3rd party tracking that can affect your personal data, online security and privacy.

What is Windows 10 S? ( DON'T GET IT! )
ThioJoe
Published on May 20, 2017

What is this new Windows 10 S and how is it different?   Microsoft announced a new version of Windows 10 called "Windows 10 S" that will be geared towards educational environments, and is basically a locked down, limited version of Windows 10. It only allows apps installed from the Windows App Store, for security purposes. However, Microsoft will also be putting Windows 10 S on their new Surface laptop, which I think is a bad move. You are required to pay an extra $50 to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro just to install regular programs.

  Microsoft buys cybersecurity startup Hexadite
Posted by: mrtrout - 05-25-2017 , 10:43 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://betanews.com/2017/05/25/microsof...-hexadite/  Microsoft buys cybersecurity startup Hexadite

    By Anthony Spadafora
    Published 4 hours ago

Microsoft is rumored to have acquired Israeli cybersecurity startup Hexadite in a deal worth around $100 million.

The startup was founded in 2014 and its primary focus is identifying cyberattacks through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). By connecting a number of cybersecurity detection systems that are already in place, Hexadite then uses AI to analyze threats automatically as they present themselves.

The company accepts alerts from a variety of sources including Syslog, email and APIs and this information allows it to aid cybersecurity teams manage and prioritize multiple potential threats.

Last year, Hexadite was able to raise $8 million in its series A round of funding which was added to the $2 million in seed funding it already has.  Investors in the startup include Hewlett Packard Ventures, Ten Eleven Ventures and YL Ventures.

The acquisition has not yet been officially confirmed by either Microsoft or Hexadite, however Israeli news site Calcalist, which broke news of the deal, has often been right before regarding similar deals.

This deal would not be out of place for Microsoft as the company has recently acquired or invested in several cybersecurity companies based in Israel. In 2015, Microsoft bought the cybersecurity firm Secure Islands and in January the company invested in another Israeli cybersecurity firm called Team8. It was also reported that the company was preparing a bid last month to acquire the Israeli startup Cloudyn that specializes in cloud monitoring for around $60 million.

Microsoft has really doubled down on cloud since Satya Nadella became CEO in 2014 and that trend is likely to continue as more businesses migrate their operations to the cloud.

  Kodi 17.3 Released

https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-v173-minor-...ty-release   NEWS
Kodi v17.3: A minor bug fix and security release Sorry for this quick bump to v17.3 however we deemed it necessary. In the previous v17.2 we had a slight issue due to packaging certain binary add-ons like PVR, visualisation and Inputstream. Sadly we only uncovered this too late after release. Additionally on the older distros like Ubuntu 14.04 in combination with the available GCC 4.8 compiler an issue surfaced which we had to fix as well. This v17.3 release fixed both these issues and should be completely working again including the missing add-ons.

Fixes done in this release:

Fixed missing binary add-ons on release time
Fixed crash on older distros like Ubuntu 14.04 with GCC 4.8 compiler
From previous v17.2 release:

Fix selection after channelgroup switching in PVR guide window               Martijn Kaijser

Quick fix for wake up command not being called in PVR power management

Fix possible security flaw which could abused .zip files which try to traverse to a parent directory
Use the correct ttc font from the video file for subtitles on Windows
Detect and delete zero-byte database files which causes crashes
Security

You may have read in the news that malicious subtitle zip files could potentionally infect and harm your media player including Kodi. When Check Point researchers uncovered this flaw they contacted us up front to let us know about this flaw. Our developers fixed this secuity gap and have added the fix to this v17.2 release. As such we highly encourage all users to install this latest version! Any previous Kodi version will not get any security patch. We have began the roll out of this version and Android Play Store as well as Windows Store have this update pending and will roll out as soon as possible. Please be patient if you are using these store versions. Our official download page of course has the regular install files available for the supported platforms.

To be clear this possible vunrability is only present when you first enable a subtitle dowload add-on and then actually download zipped subtitles. Any subtitles that you already have as text file, are embedded in the video stream or are included with you DVD or Blurays are safe. :  https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/871a8.../analysis/  SHA256:     871a8c431515e68d62090022c55fe9cb2f95e65804a7ccff51929b1a7e6be890
