Yahoo to invade privacy advertising

Yahoo seems to be abusing its position as a sponsor of Firefox. Firefox announces itself as "trust" and "customizable".

Yet Yahoo violates the spirit of these two aspects. It's access that my chosen search for suppliers, to find that this isn't Yahoo and suggesting that I turn to the "favorite" for Firefox search engine.

I strongly encourage the Foundation to request authors refrain from using Mozilla or Firefox, image of brand.

As far as I know, sites Web is not able to query your default search engine - or change what is now - without having to install an add-on.

Could next time you see this message, you post the address of the page where it appears?

  • Restriction of the Internet

    Product: iPhone 6 s

    OS: iOS 9.2.1

    Question: I use the function of restrictions to prevent my children for the use of the internet on their iPhone 6s. They may also have applications 3rd party on their phone through which they can access the internet. I just recently discovered that they were able to access the internet through the following means:

    Settings > privacy > advertising > advertising & privacy... > in the privacy statement, there is a direct link (www.apple.com/privacy) who send them on the Apple site through which they can access the rest of the internet.

    Is it possible to limit this? Or Apple allow an update to allow the link to open in Safari?

    Thank you

    Have you tested this?

    It spawn a browser, but I can't access anything other than the Apple site. I don't see an address bar to enter a URL. I could navigate along apple.com, but nowhere else.

  • Best options .vmx and config.ini for maximum security of the host

    Hello.  The most effective way to keep your private data is by keeping it on a separate computer that is not connected to the internet.  Better yet, only transfer files to and from this computer using usb flash drives, not network.  I would do the same thing with vmware player.  The guest would be used for navigation and connected to the internet via a usb cable rather than fill the host's ethernet card.  The host would be the private computer that has a connection to the internet.  It will have all the tcp/ip or other network completely removed features.

    The only means of communication between the host and the guest will be a usb flash drive.  The guest would be without a hard drive, a liveCD of linux, which would only have a disc temporarily when you connect the USB flash for it.  It goes without saying that you should not connect usb flash to the guest after navigation in a dangerous site.  Or even any site unrelated to download just one you want to record to the host.

    But I've heard there are always ways to invade privacy, something to do with the Clipboard, pagefile, exploits, etc., and most can be combated by configuring the .vmx or config.ini for maximum security options.

    Does anyone know what are the options in the .vmx or the config.ini file should be used for maximum security, to complete isolation of the host?

    It is good to hear Hat based project.

    The problem with the on-board unit is often a wrong configuration (such as keeping the default values). These devices can be operated directly from distance or indirectly via a host operated on the local network. Otherwise, the router is vulnerable directly from outside, a host on the local network can for example be targeted by an xss attack that targets more your router. SPI Dynamics from their publication a portscanner of javascript for the local network (search google for it). At www.gnucitizen.org, they have a lot of router base articles (some of them mention mesing with dns via upnp (scary stuff). Some links on this stuff;

    http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/0801-advisories/HomeHub-UPnP.txt

    A misconfigured host on the local network can be devastating too. Remember a few years ago when the DreamBox became popular (it's actually a GNU / linux). No one hardly changed passwords by default and where wide open to the internet on port 21,22,23,80. Now connect to port 22 (ssh), meant you can use it as a proxy in the local network (to log into the router and do whatever, or target other hosts on the lan). Google search for it also.

    On MOA, it didn't is nothing other than a server stripped 2003 running as LocalSystem. It means that it is not patched and can be exposed to exploits more than servers entirely patches. It will, also, a pain in the back to add patches to such an MOU. Ulli you agree? However, given that the system is a version of server, there also fewer services that may be potentially vulnerable to exploits. If you have two vectors in the opposite direction, such a system could be on the vulnerability. To run patched systems entirely in the eye of the ram at http://www.disklessangel.com . By passing as LocalSystem, means that once exploitet, the operator can make preatty although, as opposed to less than a user of privilged in expoitet. Also ongoing execution in a State without drive, limit significantly impact the feat will do for your system (at least to vm (with bootkits in head)) that the malware disappeared on restart. However, if you where exploitet in ram, the attacker could still get all your personal information that you presentation while boot (just like as if you where linking the local hard disk (only difference don't have the disk in the next startup).) Once the network connection is cut off, even attach flash drives, will leave malware what what to do for your flashdisk, as always, there are in ram, expect that connect the disc (but is resolved naturally if reboot before you connect the flash). How would you be able to download and save a file in such a case?

    The next thing to worry about is the type of connection to your router. If through wireless it is a whole new world of expoits (xss for free/airpwn, breaking encryption, mitm, operator chipsets, etc.), so definitely go for ethernet cable.

    The decision of virtualized or not, my vote would go to non-virtual, as there is at least an attack vector less to worry about IE EP-mode pure diskless as MOA.

    BTW, what kind of project is this?

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

    Hi, cocoon, here is another way to access the Page Info dialog box:

    In the address bar, click on the padlock or globe icon, then click the button more than information.

    Cross-browser problems can indicate some security, privacy, utility software on your computer, change how your browser to connect to a site, or filtering of some of what your browser sends normally on the site or filter some of what the site sends you. Similar problems can appear if you are using an anonymous proxy server, private VPN service or service such as TOR. I know it's a wide range of possibilities, but it is useful to think of all these possible causes.

    You could start with any software that filters your web traffic, either to remove the threats to safety or inconveniences such as advertising. Could you try to temporarily disable the filtering? If you mention your safety mark or parent control software, a volunteer may be able to give more specific measures.
