The History of Fingerprint

Image
Have you wondered how the Use of Fingerprint Started?  Meaning of Fingerprint A  fingerprint   in its narrow sense is an impression left by the   f riction ridges   of a human finger .   The recovery of fingerprints from a crime scene is an important method of   forensic science . Fingerprints are easily deposited on suitable surfaces (such as glass or metal or polished stone) by the natural secretions of sweat from the   eccrine glands   that are present in epidermal ridges. These are sometimes referred to as "Chanced Impressions". In a wider use of the term, fingerprints are the traces of an impression from the friction ridges of any part of a human or other  primate hand . A print from the sole of the  foot  can also leave an impression of friction ridges. Deliberate impressions of fingerprints may be formed by ink or other substances transferred from the peaks of friction ridges on the skin to a relatively smo...

Pirate Bay Now Mines Cryptocurrency in Your Browser Without Consent

Image
Pirate Bay Now Mines Cryptocurrency in Your Browser Without Consent A few weeks ago, The Pirate Bay was in the news for its test-drive of a new revenue model–cryptocurrency mining in your browser. At the time, the site only implemented the mining on its main page and search results; individual torrent links were not affected. Now, TPB has turned the capability back on, and plans to leave it on for the foreseeable future. Torrentfreak   reports the miner appears to be throttled, so it won’t peg your CPU to 100 percent load. TPB appears to be working with CoinHive, based on the number of requests made to that domain. We decided to see which browsers are and aren’t affected by the mining script, with some interesting results. We can confirm that using an application like uBlock Origin or presumably Adblock Plus will block the script on any browser. Two browsers, Vivaldi and Edge, did nothing unusual when visiting ThePirateBay.org. Firefox, on the other hand, immediately...

Amazon reveals waterproof, audiobook-enabled Kindle

Image
The new Audible-integrated e-reader is fitted with Amazon’s largest hi-res Paperwhite display and is, finally, waterproof Amazon may well be focusing on the  smart home  and Alexa integration with its hardware, but by releasing a new Kindle today it is also, for now at least, committed to upgrading a device that is coming up to being 10 years old. The new Kindle Oasis, comes with Amazon’s largest, highest-resolution Paperwhite display, and is also the first waterproof Kindle, which, considering many Kindle faithful use the device on holiday by swimming pools and on seashores, has been a long time coming. This new iteration of the the e-reader has a fast-charging battery entirely built-in, rather than split between the handset and the cover (as was the case with the previous  Oasis ), that can fully recharge in less than two hours. That battery will supposedly power the 7-inch, 300ppi display for up to six weeks. Amazon also claims the page turning speed has been b...

Ditch Facebook Messenger right now. Use Messenger Lite instead

Image
Facebook originally developed Messenger Lite for low countries with slow internet connections, but there's nothing to stop anyone from making the switch Statistically speaking, there's a pretty good chance you’re one of the 1.2 billion people who use  Facebook Messenger  at least once a month. Anecdotally, there’s a decent chance you harbour deep resentments toward its sluggishness, its bloat, and its liberally borrowed Snapchat features. Friends, there’s a better way. It’s called  Messenger Lite . You may have heard of Messenger Lite already, and if you live outside of the US, UK, Canada, or Ireland, you may already be using it. Facebook first launched Lite a year ago, intending it for markets whose fickle or low-bandwidth internet connections would collapse under the weight of the full-fledged Messenger platform. This week, Lite launched for those four more developed markets as well. And guess what? You should switch over to it immediately. That directive co...

Emergency Apple Patch Fixes High Sierra Password Hint Leak

Emergency Apple Patch Fixes High Sierra Password Hint Leak Apple rushed out an  emergency patch  Thursday that fixed an incredulous bug in its shiny new High Sierra operating system that revealed APFS volume passwords via the password hint feature. Brazilian researcher Matheus Mariano of Leet Tech found the bug and privately disclosed it to Apple. He said that upon creation of an encrypted container in APFS—Apple’s new file system in High Sierra—the password guarding it is stored in plaintext in the password hint. View image on Twitter  Follow Matheus Mariano   @ Twitter Ads info and privacy Mariano explained in a  post  how he found the bug (CVE-2017-7149) upon creating a new encrypted volume to the APFS container. He created a new password and entered a hint into the field. He mounted the new container and upon clicking the password hint, his newly created password was revealed instead. Mariano said the is...

UK Firms Hit By 600 Cyber-Attacks Each Day in Q3 UK businesses were exposed to over 600 cyber-attacks per day in the third quarter of 2017, as hackers targeted remote working technologies in a big way, according to  Beaming . The Hastings-based business ISP claimed that the average UK firm experienced 55,314 attempts to access its data or take control of IT systems in Q3 2017. That’s down slightly on Q2 figures of 65,000 attacks, in part due to a lull over the summer months. However, Beaming did record an uptick in attacks targeting remote desktop applications, VoIP telephone systems and virtual private networks (VPNs) over the past three months. UK firms were subjected to an average of 1842 cyber-attacks seeking to access remote desktop applications in Q3, 540 more than during the previous quarter. There were 586 attacks per business targeting VoIP systems and 73 attempts to access virtual private networks. “The rates of cyber-attack on internet tele...
