The transport, logistics, and supply chain industry is no exception. The emergence of new-age digital technologies and innovative business models is drastically changing the outlook of transport, logistics, and supply chain management.

New Gmail functionality Allows Users to Send Self-destructing Emails

Posted on by admin
The new Gmail allows the user to protect sensitive information by allowing the sender of the email to set an expiration date for each individual message sent to the receiver.

Confidential Mode

Users can now enable a ‘confidential’ option when sending an email which means that recipients can only see the email for a set period of time. Recipients can also be blocked from being able to forward, download or print an email.

The new layout will allow users to click on attachments without needing to scroll through large conversations. The snooze button will allow users to delay some emails until they have time to address it.

While confidential mode prevents copying of the information it doesn’t protect the email from a screenshot, furthermore the confidential mode can be compromised if the user has been affected by malware.

Smart Replies

The new design has smart-assistant features such as ‘suggested replies’ to messages. This predicts how users might respond and automatically suggests a response – saving users from typing one back manually.

Security Redesign

As part of the re-design, Google’s machine-learning algorithms will run safety checks on every message received and will alert users in bold when it spots something that appears to be a threat.

In the update Gmail will also suggest when users should unsubscribe from newsletters or offers they no longer care about.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Web Application Security

Posted on by admin

GDPR in Short

  • Any company either based in the EU or which deals with any data involving EU citizens or organizations are required to comply.
  • Under the GDPR, personal data includes anything that might identify an EU citizen, including IP addresses and cookie IDs.
  • Companies will now need to report incidents that could risk customer data to their country’s Data Protection Authority within 72 hours of discovery. For major breaches, the affected company has an additional requirement of informing their customers or users themselves.

Application Security Requirements in the GDPR

  • In order to discover any weak points in how data is processed or handled, the GDPR mandates that organizations assess their current systems and processes for how they currently handle data and perform a gap analysis to find what works and what needs to be changed or removed.
  • There needs to be Security by Design and by default to ensure data is secured from the beginning of the application or system. This concept describes the idea that security and privacy need to be considered during the planning phases.
  • Encryption and pseudonymization of personal data.
  • The ability to restore personal data availability in the event of a security incident or technical issue in a timely manner.
  • Ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, and availability (the tenets of InfoSec) of data processing systems and services.
  • Establishing a process for regular security testing and assessment of the effectiveness of security practices and solutions in place.
  • Organizations should practice the principle of least privilege, as well as regularly ‘cleaning house’ and removing any data that is no longer needed.
  • Lastly, it is recommended, though not mandated, the organizations, especially larger ones, create centralized application and data repositories to maintain better control over customer data.

Web Applications must follow

  • Encrypting data end to end – Make sure any data you collect from your customers is encrypted.
  • Make sure all data is able to be “forgotten”. Under the GDPR, users have the right to be forgotten – all of their data that is stored about them can be wiped at any moment upon their request. This also applies to any 3rd-party integrations where you send data. It’s also a best practice to dispose of temporary data as soon as possible after it is used.
  • Provide individual consent checkboxes for each data processing capability. How many times have you checked “I accept the terms and conditions” without reading what you actually just consented to? A major change in the GDPR’s data protection regulations includes specifying how data is processed and allowing the user to consent to (or revoke consent to) each activity. This does not just apply to new users. It’s also required that you contact existing users who may have joined under less specific terms and conditions and request their consent.
  • Allow users (and non-users) the ability to see if you have their personal data stored. Ideally, any person would be able to submit their email address and find out if your company has any personal information stored about them in your databases. Beyond that, the ability for a user to see all of the data that they have given you in a non-spreadsheet format is desired.
  • Allow users to edit collected data. If you’re collecting information about a user (phone number, shipping address, etc.) they should also be able to edit this information if it’s incorrect, ideally without needing to contact you to do so.

GDPR is no burden. It has been introduced for benevolence of customers and companies.

16 years old high school student from Melbourne hacked Apple’s Servers

Posted on by admin

A 16 years old high school student from Melbourne, Australia, managed to break into Apple servers and downloaded some 90GB of secure files, including extremely secure authorized keys used to grant login access to users, as well as access multiple user accounts.

  • Student told the authorities that he hacked Apple because he was a huge fan of Apple and he always wanted to work with them.
  • The embarrassing part he hacked the company’s servers not once, but multiple times over the course of more than a year, and Apple’s system administrators failed to stop their users’ data from being stolen.
  • When Apple finally noticed the intrusion, the company contacted the FBI, which took the help of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) after detecting his presence on their servers and blocking him.
  • The AFP caught the teenager last year after a raid on his residence and seized two Apple laptops, a mobile phone, and a hard drive.
  • After analyzing the seized equipment, authorities found the stolen data in a folder called “hacky hack hack.” Besides this, authorities also discovered a series of hacking tools and files that allowed the 16-year-old boy to break into Apple’s mainframe repeatedly.
  • According to the authorities, the teenager also used Whatsapp to share his offending with others. At Apple’s request, authorities did not disclose details regarding the methods the teenager used to hack into its secure servers, though investigators said his ways “worked flawlessly” until the company noticed.
  • The FBI and the AFP kept everything secret until now, as the teen’s defense lawyer said the boy had become so well known in the international hacking community that even mentioning the case in detail could expose him to risk.
  • The teen has pleaded guilty to a Children’s Court, but the magistrate has postponed his sentencing till 20th September 2018.
