However, now a certain distrust of the real security of facial recognition is emerging. To unlock a Samsung Galaxy S8, the user has different methods available. Facial recognition and iris recognition are the great new features introduced by the South Korean giant Samsung, but you can still count on a new fingerprint sensor with common unlocking by default, password or the oldest PIN code method. Samsung is the first to admit that the facial recognition security method is not as secure as a fingerprint, for example, serving only as a quick unlock of the smartphone....

Samsung is going to announce its newest flagship smartphone on February 25, but the rumor mill is ready to show off the upcoming handset well in advance. VentureBeat has a clear look at the upcoming Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, showing off the front of both handsets side-by-side.

A new report originating out of Korea suggests that Samsung has already placed orders for the necessary components to manufacture around 2,000-3,000 prototype units of its foldable smartphone in the first half of the year. Dubbed Galaxy X, the prototype of the handset can be folded 180 degrees and features two OLED displays that are connected with a hinge in the middle. By doing a small trial production run, Samsung wants to test the waters with its foldable dual-display device and see what kind of yield issues and other production issues it will face while mass producing a foldable device on a large scale....

Web based management interfaces are often coded without security in mind, full of holes from allowing administration bypass to incorporating poor or broken implementations of SSL. Simply using particular Google searches a hacker can locate hundreds if not thousands of potential targets. Logs of network devices are often not monitored for changes or login attempts so compromises can often go undetected for a long period of time. The default management pages of devices along with the default passwords are logically published online by vendors in publicly available manuals and documentation....

The Snapdragon 865, though, is a flagship SoC and Qualcomm wanted to make 5G accessible to mid-range smartphone users too, and hence they launched the Snapdragon 765G earlier this year. However, phones with that chipset haven’t made their way to the Indian market yet probably because the hardware itself is expensive and 5G, as we mentioned earlier, will need at least 2-3 years to commercially roll-out. The upcoming OnePlus Nord or OnePlus Z is expected to be the first smartphone in India with the Snapdragon 765G but we need to wait....

American operators are crooks. They charge way too much, they provide inadequate service more often than not, and they’re just plain evil. But you know what? Without them, the smartphone revolution would’ve never happened. Why? Because people don’t want to spend $700 on a brand new phone. They’d rather sign a two year contract and get the best the market has to offer for $200. Nokia, with the N95, tried to get people to buy unsubsidized phones, but they failed....

While gas engines are far more common among riding mowers, there is a wide selection of battery-powered models if you’re looking for a more eco-friendly solution for lawn care....

It’s pretty common knowledge that whenever Samsung announces a new device, it comes in two versions. One version has a Qualcomm chip, the other has a Samsung chip. Why two versions? Because American operators like Qualcomm’s 4G LTE radio. It’s familiar to them. They know how to optimize their networks to best work with that modem. Meanwhile, the rest of the world usually gets their Samsung phones with Samsung chips inside....

While the exact definition of “well-designed” will differ for most organizations, there are some common factors that you should consider when developing your security awareness course. We will discuss are some practices that will greatly contribute to the effectiveness of such a course and how SecurityIQ AwareEd can help you with their implementation. Your software developers never have to leave the office, while your salespeople work from home. Having the same security awareness course that includes modules for physical security and working remotely for both groups would mean wasted time, which they would rather spend developing and selling software (and, of course, you would want that, too)....

Security researchers tested a group of 2,000 apps from the ay Store found they connect to 250,000 different UR from 2,000 different top-level domains. The team from Eurecam said they’re working on an app that you’ll be able to use on your own Android device for determining if any of your favorite apps are connecting to nefarious tracking sites. About 10 percent of the sample group were rather aggressive about tracking, connecting to about 500 different UR, some of them with questionable origins....

To make its new Apple Music service a reality, the Cupertino-based company has resorted to some well-connected individuals in the industry, such as Jimmy Iovine, Dr.Dre, and others. And to prove that it really means business with Apple Music and it wants it to be a universal service even for cross-platform users, the company announced that it will be bringing it to Android users this fall.

The magenta network is no longer selling it, instead directing you to the Xperia Z Z1S if you’re dead set on getting a Sony hset. Smartphone turnover moves fast, but usually not this quickly. Either T-Mobile is privy to some inside information about the rumored Xperia Z4 coming sooner than we thought, or the sales have been so lackluster it’s decided to just pull it off the shelves altogether. The Xperia Z4 is rumored to look much the same as its previous edition with an upgrade to the newest Snapdragon processor, an upgrade that sounds as ho-hum as the HTC One M9....
