Facebook Stored Millions of Passwords as Plain Text!

Facebook passwords

Facebook has advised users to change their passwords for three of its popular apps- pronto! On Thursday, a report by Krebs on Security shared something shocking.

The report read that Facebook acknowledged a bug in its password management systems that caused hundreds of millions of user passwords for Facebook, Facebook Lite, and Instagram to be stored as plaintext in an internal platform.

This means that because of that Facebook Bug, everyone’s passwords can easily be retrieved and that too without any complications at all. This also means these passwords were available to thousands of Facebook employees at hand.

For those who were unaware, an organization can store passwords to thousands and thousands of accounts using a process called hashing (which unscrambles passwords) before saving it to their servers.

Netflix Password Sharing: Crackdown Begins!

If the server is compromised, it might just be the end of the tech-titan, which is why the company heavily invests in security and other means to keep the server protected from possible hits.

“As part of a routine security review in January, we found that some user passwords were being stored in a readable format within our internal data storage systems”-Pedro Canahuati, Facebook’s vice president of engineering, security, and privacy wrote in a statement

He added:

Our login systems are designed to mask passwords using techniques that make them unreadable. To be clear, these passwords were never visible to anyone outside of Facebook and we have found no evidence to date that anyone internally abused or improperly accessed them.

Earlier last year, another Facebook bug was caught for stealing passwords. Known FaceXWorm, the bug is being used by cybercriminals to gain access to an individual’s profile to steal their information, like their debit/credit card numbers, address, and more.

Facebook Confirms Linking Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp

The Facebook Messenger bug was first spotted by Kim Komando, consumer tech radio host, who had shed some light upon the matter adding that criminals are using these tactics and techniques to spread the bug, and other bugs alike via phishing scams.

“FACEXWORM IS A NASTY STRAIN THAT DIRECTS VICTIMS TO FAKE VERSIONS OF WEBSITES, SUCH AS YOUTUBE, AND THEN ASKS THEY DOWNLOAD A CHROME EXTENSION IN ORDER TO PLAY A VIDEO’S CONTENT,” MCAFEE’S CHIEF CONSUMER SECURITY EVANGELIST, GARY DAVIS

As of now, Facebook has told WIRED that the passwords that were exposed weren’t all stored in one place and that the issue didn’t result from a single bug in the platform’s password management system.

Facebook says that the scattered nature of the problem made it more complicated both to understand and to fix, which the company says explains the nearly two months it took to complete the investigation and disclose the findings.

“No Plan to Finish O & A Level”: Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood

o & a levels

Minister for Federal Education and Professional Training, Shafqat Mahmood has claimed of a misreporting and has denied the plans of eliminating O and A Levels from the education system in Pakistan.

Reportedly, Daily Times ran news with the title ‘Education Minister puts Finger on Trigger Against O, A level Education.’

They also quoted him saying:

As current education system has many other flaws, those direly needed to be mended due to which said the plan would be practised on next level but it will be done ultimately.

Providing education in our public sector institutions, in elite private schools and in madrassas, three are totally different from each other.

I am personally totally dissatisfied with the prevailing education system that contains several loopholes.

Board of Secondary Education Karachi’s Website Hacked!

Soon enough, this news started to spread and went viral in no time with several publications covering it. However, the minister took it to Twitter to clarify that it was misreporting.

He further stated “No plan to finish O level or A level. What I said that once we have been able to create a consensus on a single national curriculum, we would be in a position to consider a single national certification. May take a decade”.

This has created confusion over social media amongst parents and students equally. As of now, there are no plans to eliminate the O and A Level system in the country as of yet, whereas a single national certification is the aim and interest of the current government.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan was born in 1947 when Muslims broke from the Hindu-majority, British India to rule their own homeland. Located in the ancient Indus Valley of the Middle East, settlements in the region, among the Khyber Pass, Himalayas, and the Arabian Sea, are some of the oldest in the world and most heavily traveled in history. Conflicts over the Kashmir region, one of the largest of the disputed territories, erupted into wars with India, and in 1971, India helped the Bengalis of the east secede from Pakistan to form modern-day Bangladesh.

Brands Are Trolling Careem Over Billboard Controversy

This week, social media had a meltdown after Careem’s latest billboard, featuring a runaway bride sparked a massive debate.

In a bid to promote its bike service, the ride-hailing brand launched a marketing campaign with a catchphrase ‘Apni Shadi se Bhagna hai to Careem Bike karwao’ (If you want to run away from your own wedding call a Careem Bike).

The dolled up ‘dulhan’ flaunting cool sunglasses looked all set to flee from her own marriage ceremony.

While some have called the campaign light-hearted humor and creative, others have called out the brand claiming that they have stepped to an all-time low by promoting such actions. The copy used goes against the cultural values and traditions and encourages unconventional behavior. On the flip side, it raised the issue of forced marriages.

Careem’s Latest Campaign Sparks A Debate on Social Media!

Meanwhile, brands have decided to cash on this controversy by trolling Careem for the contentious campaign.

edenrobe WOMAN is Breaking the Clutter by Talking About Real Women

By

#letwomenbe

In today’s world of advertising, audiences are bombarded with a plethora of lawn commercials and promotions. However, only a few manage to stand out and succeed in communicating an impactful message.

The majority of ads focus on women flaunting designer dresses in glamorous settings displaying a jet set life style that includes travel to international destinations. However, a few show women pursuing real-life professions or everyday activities.

This year, edenrobe WOMAN released an inspirational lawn campaign, defining a REAL lawn experience for the contemporary Pakistani women!

THE BIG IDEA

When a nation unites to support and uplift their women, incredible things happen! This is exactly what edenrobe WOMAN has shown in their latest campaign ‘Let Women Be’.

Talking about real women and their real-life situations, the ad communicates how society should come together to let females grow and embrace their true selves.

Like men, women too want to be comfortable in their own unique way. They want to explore themselves and defy the stereotypes people impose upon them.

BREAKING CLICHES AROUND PAKISTANI WOMEN

The campaign has focused entirely on the real women of Pakistan with its mass-market appeal celebrating the self-made, confident and empowered female.

In the ad, we see the edenrobe WOMAN kick-starting a conversation about how we need to stop restricting females and let them conquer all realms of life without obstacles and judgment.

Successfully changing the stereotypical culture weaved around ladies in our society, its powerful script and depiction of young girls urges the audience to stop discrimination against women and look beyond.

Let them choose what to wear or what not to wear. They too like men can be leaders at work whilst simultaneously taking care of their household. Women can achieve degrees in higher education, drive a car or a bike and be sports champions like men.

Uploaded on their Facebook, Instagram and Youtube channel, the ad has been making waves and generating engagement with the target market.

ATTRACTING ‘REAL’ INFLUENCERS OF PAKISTAN

The brand has gained eyeballs with its strong narrative and even influencers along with celebrities are talking about how it’s important to #letWomenBe.

In an effort to generate transformative social change, bloggers are coming forward with positive messages to break down barriers against women.

HONORING REAL WOMEN IN ITS LAWN DESIGNS

Under the thematic campaign, edenrobe WOMAN has launched its unstitched summer collection as a tribute to the real women of Pakistan.

With over 113 designs and boasting lawn under Mothers collection, Chiffon Dupatta collection, Premium Collection, Silk Dupatta collection and Woven Collection with Sana Javed as the brand ambassador.

A household name due to her feats and performances in various dramas, Sana symbolizes the modern day woman. Her face connects with the target audience as she embodies power and strength like the women who prefer the edenrobe WOMAN for their fashion needs.

The apparels come in a one, two and three piece collection symbolising the modern day woman with its vibrant colours, contemporary cuts and most importantly offering comfort with style.

The brand has broken the clutter amidst lawn ads that usually showcase women in luxurious settings, traveling in high end vehicles and flaunting glamorous accessories.

Karachi sixth cheapest city

The metropolis city of Karachi has been ranked as the sixth cheapest city in the world to live in, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit survey.

The Economist Intelligence Unit survey compared more than 400 individual prices across 160 products and services in 133 cities.

These include food, drink, clothing, household supplies, and personal care items, home rents, transport, utility bills, private schools, domestic help, and recreational costs.

Careem & Uber Prohibited from Entering Airport Premises!

Three Indian cities have also made it to the top ten least expensive cities in the world, with New Delhi at number 8.

Caracas, Venezuela remained at the first spot among the top ten cheapest cities, followed by Damascus, Syria and Tashkent, Uzbekistan at number 2 and 3 respectively.

On the other hand, Paris ranked first among the world’s most expensive cities (it was the second-most-expensive city last year), alongside Hong Kong and Singapore according to this survey.

This is the first time in the 30-year history of the annual Economist Unit survey that three cities have shared the first position.

BSEK Goes Digital, Launches Online Portal for Students

According to BBC, the Economist Intelligence Unit noted that costs in the cheapest cities were low by western standards, partly because low wages limiting household spending are the norm there.

The report said that the impact of political or economic disruption, citing crisis-hit Caracas in Venezuela and war effects in Syria is the reason why a “growing number of locations” are becoming cheaper.

There is a considerable element of risk in some of the world’s cheapest cities.

Put simply, cheaper cities also tend to be less liveable.

Alongside Karachi, Nigerian city Lagos also ranked sixth among the top ten cheapest cities in the world.

Snapchat has been trying to give its top creators some kind of benefit in return. Ele is also one of the first AR sidekicks and influencer to have been introduced on Snapchat.

“I’ve seen no slowdown on brand interest for AR,” Quiamco says. “For AR creators, Snap is the app to go to. For other types of creators, it’s still a different story.”

Quiamco is a founding member of Snapchat’s official creator communities for Storytellers and Lens makers.
