Nope, sorry. There’s still no patch out to get rid of the most recent IE vulnerability, but Microsoft does not want it to look like they are not doing anything about the situation. We know that things have gotten real bad – even governments have been telling their citizens to get rid of Internet Explorer and use another browser (which makes so much sense, really!). But, what if you absolutely have to use Internet Explorer for one reason or another? Microsoft has released instructions on how to deal with the latest IE vulnerability, which can allow remote code execution if taken advantage of. As initially mentioned when the news came out, the IE vulnerability is present in all versions of the browser, although Microsoft says that the actual attacks have been very targeted and limited and that only IE version 9, 10, and 11 have been affected. So far. Anyhow, the main thing that Microsoft says to do about the IE vulnerability is to go on Enhanced Protection Mode, which does ...

In a strongly-worded post, Mark Zuckerberg on Friday hit out at the US government over the alleged surveillance and monitoring of web users by the National Security Agency (NSA). "I've been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behaviour of the US government. When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we're protecting you (Facebook users) against criminals, not our own government," Zuckerberg wrote. "I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform." Zuckerberg vented frustration at the US government a day after documents leaked by Edward Snowden, a security contractor who worked with NSA, showed that US spies used servers with fake Facebook credentials to fool web users and infect millions of computers with malware and viruses. "The US governm...

Facebook co-founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg earned more than USD 2 billion worth of stock and USD 503,000 in base pay last year for running the world's leading social network. Zuckerberg was also given bonuses that added up to slightly more than USD 266,000, according to a Facebook filing on Friday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He received USD 1.22 million in "other compensation," more than half of which was said in the filing to involve the use of chartered aircraft for travel by Zuckerberg and guests as part of a "comprehensive security program." Facebook provided US regulators a breakdown of executive compensation and other matters that will be topics at an annual meeting of shareholders set to take place on June 11. "In the first quarter of 2012, the compensation committee decided to increase the base salaries of our executive officers, other than our CEO," Facebook said in the document. "Accordingly, our compensation com...

Source-ANI: Google has paid 200,000 dollars in damages to a Melbourne man after he won a defamation case against the Internet search engine giant. Milorad Trkulja, also known as Michael, sued the multinational over images of him alongside a well-known underworld figure that appeared in its search results. The Supreme Court jury found last month that Trkulja had been defamed by the images, which he first contacted Google about removing in 2009. Google search results also linked to a page on a now defunct website, Melbourne Crime, which had published photos labelled with his name, the report said. The paper quoted Trkulja, as saying that he had never initially intended to sue Google, but had been galvanised into action after his request for the content to be removed from its searches in 2009 was not granted.

  Police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old girl for questioning the total shutdown in the city for Bal Thackeray's funeral on her Facebook account. Another girl who 'liked' the comment was also arrested. The duo were booked under Section 295 (a) of the IPC (for hurting religious sentiments ) and Section 64 (a) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Though the girl withdrew her comment and apologised, a mob of some 2,000Shiv Sena workers attacked and ransacked her uncle's orthopaedic clinic at Palghar. "Her comment said people like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a bandh for that," said PI Uttam Sonawane.
