LinkedIn Breached! 500 million Accounts Compromised

Leave a comment

It seems like this week is becoming a very worrying week for social media. Earlier this week, news broke of 533 million Facebook users having their data compromised after a data breach. The latest social media network to join the club? LinkedIn.

It looks like LinkedIn has suffered a breach similar to that of Facebook with the data of over 500 million users being compromised. The breach was first reported by CyberNews who has apparently verified the data. However, it is unclear if the data is fresh or aggregated from a breach that occurred back in 2016.

While the date of the data may be uncertain, the leaked data is a cause for concern as, similar to the Facebook data breach, the phone numbers, emails and full names were leaked. It also looks like LinkedIn IDs, links to the social media profiles, work related data and gender information was leaked.

LinkedIn has acknowledged the data leak. In a public statement, the company has said, “We have investigated an alleged set of LinkedIn data that has been posted for sale and have determined that it is actually an aggregation of data from a number of websites and companies. It does include publicly viewable member profile data that appears to have been scraped from LinkedIn. This was not a LinkedIn data breach, and no private member account data from LinkedIn was included in what we’ve been able to review.”

The news of the data breach is surfacing after a warning of possible scams involving job hunters on the social media was issued by cybersecurity experts. The scam involved fraudsters posing as potential employers who would send .ZIP files to victims purportedly containing application files. Instead, the archive contains a fileless backdoor which allowed bad actors to stealthily install malware into the PC.

LinkedIn has not indicated whether they will be contacting individuals who have been affected. However, keep in mind, that Facebook has opted not to do this. It is very likely that LinkedIn will do the same to avoid a potentially messy situation. We’ve outlined how you can check if you’ve been affected by the breach. We also advise some prudence in dealing with your data online.

Applitools Introduces Automation Cookbook and Test Kitchen to Help Engineers Break Down Coding Recipes

Leave a comment

Automation Cookbook is the industry’s first resource to compile short how-to videos focused on teaching engineers how to complete necessary day-to-day tasks for test automation

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 8, 2021 — Applitools, provider of a next generation test automation through Visual AI and Ultrafast Test Cloud, today announced the launch of its "Automation Cookbook," featuring free bite-sized videos aimed to upskill developers and test engineers of all experience levels. Anyone looking for quick answers to their test automation questions can use recipes to solve everyday challenges and also practice in the Test Kitchen for free. The initiative is led by Angie Jones, Senior Director of Developer Relations at Applitools and Test Automation University, with contributions from Colby Fayock, Developer Advocate at Applitools.

For more information and to use the Automation Cookbook, visit: https://applitools.com/cookbook/

The Automation Cookbook is the latest test automation resource Applitools is releasing to increase its supply of free and accessible learning resources online for the dev community. It is supplementary to Test Automation University, which has surpassed more than 80,000 students to date and is the flagship resource for engineers to learn new tools and programming languages across various topics in automation.

Since Test Automation University launched in 2019, Applitools has received requests for additional resources to help people quickly find answers to frequent day-to-day questions. Now, with the Automation Cookbook, there is a place to serve bite-sized content in one place without needing to sift through an endless web of long video tutorials, online forums, and Q&A threads just to end up with broken code examples.

"Based on feedback from the community, our goal with the Automation Cookbook is to help engineers get answers to frequently asked questions with a visual coding recipe," said Fayock.

The launch of the Automation Cookbook includes 12 videos featuring two of the most prominent test automation frameworks for functional testing of web apps, Selenium WebDriver and Cypress. Each framework has six total videos to start. New videos will be added regularly with additional frameworks planned to be featured in the future. The videos range anywhere from 3-10 minutes in length.

Initially, recipes for both Selenium WebDriver in Java as well as Cypress in JavaScript are available:

  • Uploading Files
  • Interacting with Alerts
  • Selecting from Dropdowns
  • Verifying Sortable Tables
  • Interacting with Browser Notifications
  • Taking Screenshots

Unlike Test Automation University, which focuses on long-form education of complete learning pathways, the Automation Cookbook focuses only on specific tasks. To help engineers practice, Applitools created an open source website, Test Kitchen, with common web widgets to allow anyone to hone their test automation skills and knowledge.

For a pantry full of web components that can be used for automated testing, visit the Test Kitchen: https://kitchen.applitools.com/

"For many engineers, it’s common to run into a problem while writing a test. Whether you’re trying to work with alerts or upload a file, you may not be looking for an entire end-to-end course, but a quick solution to a single problem," said Jones. "We have designed this short-form education program to answer your questions accordingly."

About Applitools

Applitools delivers a Next Generation Test Automation Platform through Visual AI and Ultrafast Grid. We enable engineering teams to release high quality web and mobile apps at incredible speed and at a reduced cost.

Applitools Visual AI modernizes important test automation use cases — Functional Testing, Visual Testing, Web and Mobile UI/UX Testing, Cross Browser Testing, Responsive Web Design Testing, Cross Device Testing, PDF Testing, Accessibility Testing and Compliance Testing — to transform the way organizations deliver innovation at the speed of CI/CD at a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Hundreds of companies from verticals such as Tech, Banking, Insurance, Retail, Pharma, and Publishing — including 50 of the Fortune 100 — use Applitools to deliver the best possible digital experiences to millions of customers on any device and browser, and across every screen size and operating system.

Are You One of the 533 million in the Facebook Data Leak? Here’s How to Find Out & What You Can Do

Leave a comment

Facebook has suffered one of the largest data breaches in recent years. A total of about 533 million users across 106 countries have had their private data which includes emails and phone numbers compromised. In recent reports, it seems like Mark Zuckerberg himself is affected by the breach.

However, in a statement to Reuters, Facebook has clarified that it has no plans to inform the users affected by the breach. In fact, the company states that it isn’t confident that it has complete visibility of the data that has been leaked. The spokesperson also noted that users will still be unable to take action even if they are informed.

So what can you do to check if you’ve been affected by the breach? The easiest way to check is to use the website haveibeenpwned.com. The website is able to check whether your information has been involved in breaches across the internet. Sites as old as myspace and Neopets have had breaches to their data. U.S. Residents also have the option of using The News Each Day.

Once on the website, enter the data you want to check – it can be your email, password or even phone number. If you’re checking for a phone number, be sure to include your country code. So, if you’re checking for a Malaysian mobile number, type in the “6” before your operator prefix. Then simply click the “pwned?” button. It will check all the available breaches for the data and return an answer. You’ll get one of two possible results: “Oh no – pwned!” or “Good news – no pwnage found”.

So what should you do if your data has been involved in a breach? The first thing you should do is to change your passwords – particularly if you are fond of using the same password for multiple services. The next thing you should do is activate 2-factor authentication (2FA) for all your services. It may be a little bit inconvenient but it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run. Be sure that you have a secure password moving forward and make sure to keep your passwords for every service unique.

Beyond this, you really don’t have much that you can do. Moving forward you just have to be a little bit more prudent about the information you share online. Where possible, try not to link sensitive data such as your phone number to online accounts. Since there was a significant number of phone numbers in this breach, you may want to be alert when it comes to dealing with unknown callers.

However, it’s no reason to be panicky. Once you’ve secured your accounts, your data should be secured for the foreseeable future.

Dell Ups the Gaming Ante with New Monitors

Leave a comment

It’s not all about the new Ryzen powered laptops for Dell. The company is also taking the opportunity to introduce a bunch of new monitors to complete the gaming experience. The new monitors zoom in on the need for high frame rates and the versatility that gamers want. Their new line up is boasting adaptable frame rates and high resolutions that any gamer would drool for.

Dell is introducing a family of three new curved gaming monitors. The monitors use VA panels and come in 27-, 32- and 34-inch sizes. The new curved monitors come equipped with AMD’s FreeSync Premium or Premium Pro certification for smooth, tear-free gaming. Spearheading the new offerings is the large, 34-inch Dell 34 Curved Gaming monitor. The WQHD monitor comes with 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut and 144Hz refresh rate. The monitor also supports VESA DisplayHDR 400. The smaller Dell 27 and 32 Curved gaming monitors come with QHD resolution and support 165Hz refresh rate with 2ms response time.

If curved monitors isn’t your thing, Dell is also introducing the new Dell 25 Gaming Monitor which comes with 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. The quick refresh rate and response times will be a boon for competitive gamers. Unlike the curved monitors, the Dell 25 Gaming Monitor comes with IPS panels which provide better colour accuracy and smoother gameplay. It is also both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium certified.

Pricing & Availability

Dell has not announced the pricing for the new gaming monitors. However, they will be available starting end of June 2021.
