BBC News - Gmail smartphone app hacked by researchers: "This shared memory is used by all apps, and by analysing its use the researchers were able to tell when a user was logging into apps such as Gmail, giving them the opportunity to steal login details and passwords."
Sounds like everyone is going to have zero memory when it's deallocated. Labels: app security

Mac Developer: Confirmed: Security breach is not reason for Gatekeeper app signing changes | 9to5Mac
Confirmed: Security breach is not reason for Gatekeeper app signing changes | 9to5Mac
We’ve now confirmed with sources close to the situation that there is no truth to the rumors and that a Dev Center breach was not the reason behind the Gatekeeper app signing changes.
In other words, it's just a worthless change (read: everybody churn!) aimed at making life difficult for 3rd party ISV's which, unlike Apple, do not have unlimited capital with which to hire engineers, do testing and so forth. Should be very popular with enterprise developers.

Mac Developer: Spies used YouTube videos and Microsoft log-ins to take over devices
Spies used YouTube videos and Microsoft log-ins to take over devices: "The study names Hacking Team and FinFisher as two of the companies that sell law enforcement agencies 'network-injection' technologies like this for around $1 million dollars. In fact, Italian company Hacking Team is known for developing software to spy on people's emails, phone calls and the like specifically for sale to law enforcement in countries not blacklisted by NATO."
Like a blacklist is going to prevent the movement of software!

Mac Developer: Surveillance leak shows spyware loves Android, but can't infect Apple's iPhones without jailbreak
Surveillance leak shows spyware loves Android, but can't infect Apple's iPhones without jailbreak: "The regularly updated software tool supports all releases of Android, devices running BlackBerry OS prior to the newest BB10, Symbian and Windows Mobile phones, but notes that in order to spy on an iPhone, the user must jailbreak their device, a step that disables Apple's security.

At last, some good news.

Mac Developer: Master Control Program
Are you sure it's what you want? A centralized control of everything in the system? Such a thing is necessarily brittle. Nothing can stop open systems: like water, it will flow into the future regardless as to the barriers.

Mac Developer: BBC News - Wearable users tracked with Raspberry Pi
BBC News - Wearable users tracked with Raspberry Pi: People who use wearable gadgets to monitor their health or activity can be tracked with only $70 (£40) of hardware, research suggests.
The work, carried out by security firm Symantec, used a Raspberry Pi computer to grab data broadcast by the gadgets.
The snooping Pi was taken to parks and sporting events where it was able to pick out individuals in the crowds.
I'm sure the situation is much worse than you'd expect because embedded systems on these kinds of devices are rarely scrutinized like desktop and mobile operating systems. Labels: security, security flaw, wifi

Mac Developer: 'BadUSB' malware lives in USB firmware to remain undetected, unfixable
'BadUSB' malware lives in USB firmware to remain undetected, unfixable: "As there is no easy fix to malware like BadUSB, the researchers suggest users adopt a new way of thinking about USB hardware. Instead of thoughtlessly transporting files and other data back and forth between machines, Nohl and Lell recommend connecting only to known devices that are user-owned or trusted. "
Goodbye USB, hello my old friend FireWire.
