In my opinion, one of the most shocking pieces of news coming out of WWDC 2021 was that Apple was going to allow you to bring your own domain to iCloud+ sometime later this year.

With the current cryptocurrencies explosion, this new kind of profit-generating practice is quickly spreading. While cryptomining is a completely legal way to earn cryptocurrencies, cryptojacking is another story. It’s a new scheme by cybercriminals to profit off your gadget without your knowledge. According to AFTVNews, the malware appears to be a variant of ADB.Miner, an Android worm that scans vulnerable gadgets on the web then infects them with a stealthy cryptomining virus....

There is a technique used within the malware reverse landscape used to inspect and analyze the behavior of a process during its execution — the dynamic analysis. This phase comprises several steps from the registry analysis until the network traffic analysis. A complementary approach called DBI can be also used to interrogate a target process, inject target scripts, trace API calls, and essentially inspect its internals. Some popular DBI frameworks, including Intel’s Pin, DynamoRIO and Frida....

The main reason I’ve adopted this Diary format for reviewing Apple kit is that first impressions can be misleading. The iPad, for example, launched to very mixed reviews. I won’t embarrass my fellow tech writers by naming names, but the Guardian did a round-up at the time. Then there’s my own Apple Watch experience. Going from clear smartwatch skeptic – wondering why anyone would want one – to a complete convert....

Every character in Matt Weiner’s masterpiece is struggling to find a purpose in life and because of their personal turmoil, it often has a negative effect on their romantic relationships. Some of the connections on Mad Men are surprisingly beautiful, while others were clearly doomed from the start. Which relationships from the series were fans behind?...

[UPDATE: Apple confirmed to us that any systems that are up to date, running El Capitan or later, are protected.

During Apple’s WWDC 2016 session What’s New in Security, the company shared two interesting changes to the way Gatekeeper works in macOS Sierra – one visible, one not. The visible one, seen above, is that there’s no longer an immediately obvious way to allow unsigned apps to open. The System Preferences pane now limits you to two options, App Store and App store plus identified developers. This doesn’t mean that you’re left out in the cold if you really need to open an unsigned app, though....

Because of this, software engineers are constantly on the lookout to address any holes they find with security updates. But when a flaw comes from the hardware side of things rather than software, the threat becomes exponentially more dangerous. When a vulnerability is detected in any piece of hardware, it usually means that all others from the same product line are affected as well. And that’s exactly the issue that security researchers are facing this week in light of a new flaw discovered in a range of Intel chips....

More often than not, we never even notice the difference the update makes. We assume things are now better, but we don’t really know how. Most updates are important because they fix bugs or security issues that may arise. Other updates may include new fun features or shortcuts. Sometimes, however, things do not get better. Sometimes, they end up being much worse. A $600 million mistake by Microsoft? According to Frank K....
