’Scam baiters’ get a kick out of conning the con artists – BBC News
Every year tens of thousands of people are conned by online scammers, but it is not only the authorities taking action: a network of tech-savvy volunteers is also working to expose them.”We waste scammers’ time, we waste their resources and we make them believe they are not as good as they think they are,” Jill – not her real name – explains to the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme.She is part of a global network of so-called scam baiters, who spend their evenings trying to unearth online con artists by pretending to fall for their tricks.The ruses can range from emails saying the recipients have won the lottery, to ”long-lost relatives” who have left them an inheritance.”Scammers are always going to be there but if we can take them down a peg and take a victim away from them any time we can, then we are doing something good,” Jill adds.One of the main techniques, explains Wayne – a scam baiter who often works with Jill – is by leaking scammers’ details and their conversation scripts online.

Britney Spears: Malware planted in singer’s Instagram page – BBC News
The comments section of Britney Spears’ Instagram account has been used by cyber-thieves to co-ordinate attacks.Security firm Eset found the gang controlled its malware, called Turla, by posting comments about images in the singer’s gallery.The comments looked like spam but once transformed by code in the virus, directed victims to other sites.Several other compromised websites were also being used to track victims and spread the malware.Digital detective workTurla has been active since 2014 and sought to catch out government workers, diplomats and other officials, said Eset researcher Jean-Ian Boutin. It is believed to be run by a hacker group working for the Russian state.Most often, he said, Turla’s handlers compromised websites that targets would be likely to visit.One compromised server asked visitors to install a booby-trapped extension for the Firefox web browser.

Uber ’obtained rape victim’s medical records’ – BBC News
An Uber executive obtained the medical records of a woman who said she was raped by a driver of the taxi-app firm in India, according to a report.Eric Alexander, who ran Uber’s business in Asia, is said to have shared the records with the company’s chief executive, Travis Kalanick, over a year ago.Uber confirmed to the BBC that Mr Alexander no longer worked at the firm – but offered no further comment.Technology news site Recode said Mr Alexander was fired only after the publication contacted the company about the story.It said as well as Mr Kalanick, the records were seen by the company’s senior vice president, Emil Mochael.Recode’s report detailed how Uber was reportedly considering the prospect that the rape claim was concocted by rival Indian ride-sharing company, Ola, as part of a smear campaign.On Thursday, Ola told the BBC’s Shilpa Kannan the allegations were ”despicable”.”It is a shame that the privacy and morals of a woman have to be questioned in an attempt to trivialise a horrific crime,” a spokesman for Ola said in an email.

iOS 11 Makes it Easy to Share Your Wi-Fi Password With Nearby Friends – Mac Rumors
With the developer beta of iOS 11 out in the wild, new features of the operating system have been coming to light throughout the week, including an unobtrusive volume indicator and new AirPods controls. In iOS 11, users will also be able to easily join a Wi-Fi network thanks to a new password sharing process between trusted devices, whoch should reduce the hassle of joining new networks. The feature allows one iOS device with knowledge of a Wi-Fi network’s password to grant access to a separate iOS device that still needs the password in question. 9to5Mac detailed an example where an iPad was already on a Wi-Fi network, while an iPhone still required the Wi-Fi password to connect. All devices must be running iOS 11, and it appears that macOS High Sierra will support the feature as well.
