The Mozilla Foundation, the organization behind the Firefox browser, is working on adding a new feature to its browser that is similar to the Site Isolation feature that Google rolled out to Chrome users this year.

But Chrome won't be the only browser with Site Isolation. Work on a similar feature also began at Mozilla headquarters back in April, in a plan dubbed Project Fission.

Idaho prison officials announced yesterday in a press release that they've identified 364 inmates who have exploited a vulnerability in their prison-issued tablets and have used it to assign nearly $225,000 worth of digital credits to their tablet accounts.

Spokespersons for both companies said the vulnerability inmates exploited was identified and fixed. Officials from the Idaho Department of Correction (IDC) said there was no loss of state funds as a result of the hack, as inmates transferred only JPay-managed (fictitious) digital credits to their accounts.

PepsiCo really doesn’t want anyone talking shit about its corn puffs online. There is a rumor that Kurkure, a corn puff product developed by the company in India, is made of plastic.

In response, PepsiCo obtained an interim order from the Delhi High Court to block all references to this conspiracy theory online in the country, MediaNama reports.

According to MediaNama, PepsiCo petitioned for 3412 Facebook links, 20244 Facebook posts, 242 YouTube videos, six Instagram links, and 562 tweets to be removed, a request the court has granted.

Facebook has shown that it cannot sail forever forward while facing various storms, including Cambridge Analytica and the Russian government's use of the social media platform to sow divisions amongst Americans during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Wall Street didn’t take too kindly to that: Facebook’s stock price dropped nearly 20 percent in after-hours trading.

While flinging these patches at expectant Windows 10 machines would be a good idea, admins do need to exercise caution and should perform some testing first. All three packages suffer from a known issue where installing the July 2018 .NET Framework Security Updates could bork some COM components with a System.UnauthorizedAccessException error triggered when an affected application tries to load them.

Any site that doesn't load with green padlock or a "secure" message in the browser's address bar will be flagged -- and shamed -- as insecure.

That green padlock means any data sent from your computer or device to that website and vice versa is transmitted securely and can't be intercepted by an attacker.

Just overnight, several HTTP-only sites made the switch to HTTPS to escape being named and shamed by the browser.

The National Audit Office (NAO) says over half of the packaging reported as recycled is actually being sent abroad to be processed.

The NAO's report found only 25% of the firms most likely to misbehave over re-processing or exporting waste are inspected, while just 40% of planned compliance visits were actually carried out.

A new bot called “Who’s buying drugs on Venmo” tweets the usernames and photos of Venmo users who have marked their transaction with a particular drug keyword or emoji.

The bot also potentially exposes people in ways they didn’t originally anticipate, touching on issues of consent and privacy.

Venmo, owned by PayPal, is a social-network-mobile-payment-service crossover, allowing users to easily and quickly send money to each other. Users can make all their transactions and activity private, but by default, Venmo publicly presents the username, name, photo, and message sent with the money within the service’s app for others to see.

Speaking at an event in Aspen, Colorado, earlier this week, Microsoft vice president of security and trust Tom Burt revealed that the FancyBear hacking group has already begun setting up the infrastructure to perform targeted phishing attacks on multiple candidates.

The report notes that the government has created a task force, including multiple agencies and states attorney generals, that will focus on detecting and prosecuting attempts to affect the outcome of the mid-term vote.

As founder and CEO of Turing, Shkreli bought the rights to the cheap, off-patent drug and—without any generic competitors—abruptly raised its price from $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill in the fall of 2015.

Turing, meanwhile changed its name and tried to distance itself from Shkreli—without lowering Daraprim’s price. In light of the dwindling profits, the company is reportedly considering changing its name once again, this time to “Phoenixus.”
