Many different vulnerabilities show up in Adobe Flash—in fact, Adobe just released fixes 23 of the latest security flaws this week. But the new Android Marcher Trojan isn't using an authentic version of Flash or exploiting vulnerabilities that Adobe has already patched. Rather, the Android Marcher Trojan uses a fake version of an Adobe Flash Player installer to infect users.

"I can tell you, the first time we do have trouble getting into a cell phone, we're going to seek a court order from Apple," he said. "And when they deny us, I'm going to go lock the CEO of Apple up. I'll lock the rascal up."

When once asked why his officers had shot at a suspect 110 times, hitting him 68 times, he explained that it was "all the ammunition they had."

According to a Saturday report in The New York Times, prosecutors have gone head-to-head with WhatsApp, the messaging app owned by Facebook. Citing anonymous sources, the Times reported that "as recently as this past week," federal officials have been "discussing how to proceed in a continuing criminal investigation in which a federal judge had approved a wiretap, but investigators were stymied by WhatsApp’s encryption."

As Ars reported earlier this month, since late 2014, all WhatsApp messages sent between Android devices are end-to-end encrypted, which means that not even parent company Facebook can access their plaintext contents.

A post on reddit that has received quite a lot of attention in the last few hours reveals that “Windows 7 computers are being reported as automatically starting the Windows 10 upgrade without permission,” with several users confirming in the comment section that this is indeed the case.

“Depending upon your Windows Update settings, this may cause the upgrade process to automatically initiate on your device. Before the upgrade changes the OS of your device, you will be clearly prompted to choose whether or not to continue,” he said.

The Let's Encrypt certificate service was first announced in November 2014 as an effort to help expand the use and availability of cryptographic security for Websites.

"More encryption is great but the ease of obtaining certificates automatically can be riskier," Bocek said. "We've already seen phishing sites and other attacks use Let's Encrypt certificates."

"We are only issuing certificates with 90 day lifetimes, and that will be the case for the foreseeable future," Aas said. "Dealing with certificates manually is inefficient and error-prone. We want to strongly encourage automation. And if your system is automated then it doesn't really matter how long the certificate lifetimes are."

If Microsoft's documentation is correct, installing Patch Tuesday's KB 3139929 security update for Internet Explorer also installs a new Windows 10 ad-generating routine called KB 3146449.

It's important to note that KB 3146449 is not installed separately. You can't remove it. If you look in your installed updates list, KB 3146449 doesn't appear. Instead, it's baked into the IE security patch KB 3139929. The only way to get rid of the new advertising inside Internet Explorer 11 is to remove the security patch entirely.

The TVs phone home across the internet to Pana's backend systems – such as mhc-xpana-eu.myhomescreen.tv – and if they can't reach the machines, the TVs assume the network is down. That totally stuns the TVs' software, and leaves people unable to start up installed apps, we're told.

"They've also cocked the code up, as it assumes if it can't talk to that server that the entire network is unavailable and reports a network error."

The stories keep on coming about prosecutions for "insulting" Erdogan. The most insane one started making news a few weeks ago, when a Turkish man filed a complaint against his own wife for apparently insulting Erdogan in their home.

Incredibly, it appears that such complaints, which need to be approved by the Justice Ministry are coming in at a rate of over 1,000 per month.

“You are actually providing aid to the kidnappers, robbers and murderers who have actually been recorded on the telephones in Riker’s Island telling their compatriots on the outside, ‘You gotta get iOS 8. It’s a gift from God,’ — and that’s a quote — ‘because the cops can’t crack it.’”

“Right now Cy Vance, the Manhattan district attorney, has 175 iPhones stacked up in his office that are subject to search warrants, issued by judges, involved in crimes,” Miller fumed.

Tomlinson was best known for choosing the @ symbol to indicate a message should be sent to a different computer on a network. He also led development of standards for the from, subject, and date fields found in every email message sent today.

News of his death began circulating on a BBN alumni email list tonight. Another networking legend, TCP/IP inventor Vint Cerf, confirmed it via Twitter.
