Planning your travel and training budget to ensure you and your staff are up to date on IT security topics? Here are the best options and what to expect from each event.

Earlier this year, Apple updated iOS to block passcode cracking tools like GrayKey (used by police and government law enforcement officers). But the original iOS 11.4.1 patch wasn’t perfect, with researchers still finding ways around it. That seems to have changed with the release of iOS 12 last month, which a recent Forbes report notes appears to have completely blocked the GrayKey tool, preventing it from cracking the password of any devices running the latest software.

Be sure to disable passive entry and enable PIN to drive on your Tesla, or this might happen. A Tesla owner who recorded thieves stealing his Model S by hacking the passive entry system has published the video on YouTube so we can all watch (and learn). It shows the crooks using a tablet to apparently capture the passive signal from his keyfob, then using the data to open the vehicle. Amusingly, the pair didn't drive off as quickly as they could have simply because they couldn't figure out how to detach the charging cable (hint: there's a button).

If it seems as though the app you deleted last week is suddenly popping up everywhere, it may not be mere coincidence. Companies that cater to app makers have found ways to game both iOS and Android, enabling them to figure out which users have uninstalled a given piece of software lately—and making it easy to pelt the departed with ads aimed at winning them back.

The US-CERT has released a joint technical alert from the DHS, the FBI, and Treasury warning about a new ATM scheme being used by the prolific North Korean APT hacking group known as Hidden Cobra.

Facebook says it has not found any evidence "so far" that its attackers accessed third-party sites through Facebook Login.

Apple always advertised their iPhones as highly secure devices. Which makes this little bit more hilarious, when even the new iPhones after the latest iOS update are not hard to beat security vise. Recently was posted this youtube video, which shows that is possible to bypass locked screen on iPhone with iOS 12 without having the password and easily access to photos and contacts.

Facebook recently disclosed that the security of 50 million profiles was compromised when attackers stole “access tokens” that allowed them to break into these accounts. Facebook discovered the breach Tuesday, Sept. 25, and it reset access tokens, forcing users to log back in to their accounts, on Thursday, Sept. 27. The company disclosed the attack last Friday. In addition to Facebook accounts, the stolen access tokens may also compromise accounts on any third-party website that uses Facebook Login.

Even if you never log into Facebook itself these days, the other apps and services you use might be impacted by Facebook’s latest big, bad news. In a follow-up call on Friday’s revelation that Facebook has suffered a security breach affecting at least 50 million accounts, the company clarified that Instagram users were not out of the woods — nor were any other third-party services that utilized Facebook Login.

Privacy has always been a key feature and popular selling point for the messaging app WhatsApp. Company co-founder Jan Koum grew up in the Soviet Union under heavy government surveillance, and he promised to keep user data protected after Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014.
