So you’ve lost your phone. We’ve all been there. It was just in your pocket a minute ago — and now it’s gone, lost to the phone fairies, forgotten between the seats of your couch, or misplaced somewhere during your busy day. Maybe it’s just in your other coat, or maybe it’s already in the hands of someone who found it on the sidewalk. Either way, all you want to do is get it back.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to get a hold of your missing phone. If it’s a smartphone (or even a tablet) running iOS, Android, or even Windows Phone, chances are good it already has the software needed to hunt it down — or there’s an app you can install to track your phone. Here’s our guide on how to find a lost phone or a similar device.

Have you ever wondered what happens to a smartphone after it’s stolen? Read how this filmmaker spied on a thief to find out.

Smartphones
If your lost phone happens to be a smartphone, all three of the major smartphone platform providers (Apple, Google, and Microsoft) include phone retrieval technology in their smartphones. Usually, the way these apps work is through the account associated with your device. For Android devices this is your Google account, for iPhones, this is your iCloud account, and for Windows Phones this is your Microsoft account. All three allow you to remotely lock and wipe your phone, make it ring, and set up special messages to alert whoever finds it.

Of course, these features are only as good as your phone’s battery. If your smartphone dies, it’s about as easy to find as your wallet or anything else you might misplace.

We also recommend caution when communicating with anyone who has found your smartphone. Be careful to avoid giving away any personal information, such as your home address, until you know you’re dealing with someone you can trust. Stick with sending phone numbers or email addresses to communicate how the good Samaritan can return your phone. Here’s how each of the three operating systems work.

How to find a lost Android phone
Android not only offers Google’s proprietary service for finding and managing your device remotely but also a number of third-party apps designed for finding your smartphone. The easiest to use is Find My Device, which is built directly into your Android smartphone through Google Play Services — it can also be used in a browser or downloaded from the Google Play Store. Most devices running Android 2.3 or later should be able to use this feature.

Using the feature is as easy as searching  “Where is my phone” in Google, which will prompt the service to start looking for your smartphone. We’ve previously written about Find My Device and its ability to call you, set up a new password, and make your phone ring from afar, along with the variety of other functions it uses for notification purposes. While you can configure Find My Device ahead of time, the service should be available in the event you lose or misplace your phone. It will use Wi-Fi or GPS to help you hunt down your device.

To verify your Android smartphone has the Find My Device feature turned on, go to Settings > Google (or Google services) > Security and make sure Remotely locate this device is turned on in the Find My Device section.

If you can’t find your smartphone, you can always wipe it to prevent sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. Your device will need an internet connection, however, and enough juice to communicate with you. In Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google also introduced Factory Reset Protection (FRP). It’s designed to prevent would-be thieves from being able to steal your phone, wipe it, and then use it or sell it. If you factory reset a phone with FRP enabled and try to set it up as a new device, you’ll be prompted to enter the username and password for the last Google account that was registered on the device, and if you can’t, the phone will remain locked.

There are also third-party apps that you can install to help you find your phone. Cerberus Anti-theft is a great app that offers remote access and control, allowing you to obtain more information regarding the whereabouts of your phone. It provides a number of additional features, such as more granular control on how you track your device, screenshots of what your device is doing, photos from the camera to possibly catch the would-be thief, and other, more detailed notifications that Find My Device doesn’t offer. If your device is rooted, there are even more features available to prevent someone from resetting or turning off your device until you can recover it.

Another option for select Samsung smartphones is the Find My Mobile service. It can be used to locate a missing phone, lock it down, or wipe it completely. You’ll need a Samsung account, though, and the Remote Controls options enabled on your phone. To check and see if Find My Mobile is available for your smartphone, go to Settings > Lock screen & Security. If you see Find My Mobile in the menu, you can use the service; enable the Remote Controls options via Settings > Security > Find My Mobile > Remote controls.

While the smartphone has made many of our work easier, there is also a concern about security. Where, when a hacker breaks into our smartphone and stole our most important information, this fear remains often. To overcome this, the scientists continue to develop a better security system. Many smartphones include facial recognition, fingerprint scans and other biometric systems. However, the trouble with these easy-to-use tools is that once compromised they cannot be reset.

But now, American scientists have developed a security system that will use the smartphone's password as the brain of the user after it's been in the market. Smartphones will be unlocked only by recognizing the brainwaves in response to a series of pictures - an advance that could better protect devices from hackers. According to the scientists at Buffalo University, electroencephalography (EEG) is currently a very easy system, through which the waves of the brain can be recorded.

"You can't grow a new fingerprint or iris if that information is divulged," said Wenyao Xu, an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo (UB) in the US. "That's why we're developing a new type of password - one that measures your brainwaves in response to a series of pictures. Like a password, it's easy to reset; and like a biometric, it's easy to use," said Xu.

The "brain password," which presently would require users to wear a headset, but in the future, it has to be tried to make it even better. It could have implications in banking, law enforcement, airport security and other areas.

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first in-depth research study on a truly cancelable brain biometric system. We refer to this as 'hard cancellation,' meaning the original brain password can be reset without divulging the user's identity," said Zhanpeng Jin, an associate professor at UB.

Bleeping Computer today revealed that they discovered a type of “clipboard hijacker” malware that monitors over 2.3 million bitcoin addresses.

A clipboard hijacker malware works by tricking users by switching the bitcoin address from their clipboard to another address that the attacker control. Since bitcoin addresses are long and hard to remember, this method works easily for hackers since users simply copy paste addresses from one application to another when sending cryptocoins.

The malware reportedly comes as a part of the All-Radio 4.27 Portable malware affecting Windows computers and monitors the Windows clipboard for a bitcoin address. Unless the user double-checks the address after pasting it, the bitcoin will go to the attackers’ address.

“While we have covered cryptocurrency clipboard hijackers in the past and they are not new, most of the previous samples monitored for 400-600 thousand cryptocurrency addresses,” their report on the malware read. They also posted a video showing how the malware works: 


Bitcoin users are advised to always double-check the address before making a transaction and to have a trusted antivirus program installed on their device.

Insurance Uk started life in 2018 as a six page financial fact-sheet with a revolutionary idea: to bring the best financial products together in a way that allowed for comparison.
Since then much has changed at Insurance Uk, but we are still committed to our founding company values of accuracy and independence.

What we stand for

Insurance Uk is a comparison site; with a difference. We are completely independent, and committed to providing you with the most up-to-the-minute financial information – from our constantly-reviewed:
Best Buy charts
Balanced editorial we write in our news section.
Useful Guides and Money Saving Tips
Depositor Protection Schemes to find out where your bank or building society is licensed, and what deposit protection guarantees you'll get if they go bust.

How we make money


moneyfacts.co.uk is a business. As a business, it's important for us to make money, so that we can continue to provide our site for free use.
However, as a business we also take an ethical approach to the service we offer – this is at the core of what we do.

We show all the products available to you in our product searches, with the better ones appearing in our Best Buy tables. We do not get paid to show any of the products you see on the site (unless in an advert), nor do we receive any payment to include a product in our Best Buys.

Although we don't get paid to include products in our searches or Best Buys, some companies choose to pay us for any clicks, applications or sales they get by inquiring through Insurance Uk.

It's easy to see which products that are in a best buy chart we make money from: wherever you see the “go to site” button that means we get paid either because you click the button, make an application, or buy the product. Some parts of the site show a green "Speak to an adviser" button. From this you can arrange to speak to an adviser, and we will get paid by them if you take an account out following their advice.

When you conduct a product search, your results will default to the products that are “available online”. These are, in other words, the products that have a “Go to Site” button – the products we make money from. You can still apply for other products online that are in our search results (as long as the provider allows this): you just can't do that directly from Insurance Uk.

If you complete a contact or quotation form that is sent to one of our selected third parties, we get paid for supplying them with your business.
We also earn money through companies advertising on our site. We get paid depending upon how many times an advert is shown, or is clicked on by visitors. get the latest hacking gist here

더 이상 로그인 할 수 없을 때 내 Facebook 계정을 복구하는 방법
더 이상 로그인 할 수 없을 때 내 Facebook 계정을 복구하는 방법

비밀번호를 잊어 버렸기 때문에 더 이상 로그인 할 수 없습니까? 또는 귀하의 계정이 해킹 당했습니까?

당신은 혼자가 아닙니다! 수백 명의 사람들이 매일 비슷한 질문을 던져 우리를 찾습니다. 다행히도 Facebook은 귀하의 계정을 되 찾을 수있는 몇 가지 자동화 된 방법을 제공합니다. 해커가 암호를 변경했기 때문에 암호를 잊어 버렸거나 더 이상 로그인 할 수없는 경우 몇 가지 옵션이 있습니다. 단계별로 Facebook 계정을 복구하는 방법을 알려 드리겠습니다.

참고 :이 기사에서는 Facebook 계정 복구에 대해 알고있는 모든 내용을 다룹니다. 이 기사를 읽고 의견을 읽고 질문이 있으면 자신의 의견을 남기고 최선을 다하겠습니다. 내가 아는 것도, 도와 줄 수있는 것도 없습니다.

1. 당신은 아직도 어딘가에 로그인되어 있습니까?
계정을 복구하기 전에 어느 기기에서나 Facebook에 아직 로그인되어 있는지 확인하십시오. 이 정보는 컴퓨터의 다른 브라우저 또는 브라우저 프로필, Facebook Android 또는 iOS 앱 또는 태블릿과 같은 모바일 브라우저 일 수 있습니다.

어디서나 Facebook에 액세스 할 수 있다면 Facebook 계정이 해킹 당했을 때 수행 할 작업에 대한 기사의 1a 단계로 진행하십시오.

참고 : 이중 인증을 설정하고 코드 생성기에 액세스 할 수없는 경우 계정을 복구하는 방법은 다음과 같습니다.

2. 기본 계정 복구 옵션을 사용해 보셨습니까?
좋아, 그럼에도 페이스 북에 로그인 한 기기를 찾지 못했습니다. 그때 복구를 진행합시다. 가능한 경우 이전에 Facebook 계정에 로그인 한 네트워크 또는 컴퓨터를 사용하십시오.

먼저, 귀하의 계정을 식별해야합니다. Facebook 복구 페이지로 이동하여 이전에 Facebook 계정에 추가 한 이메일 주소 또는 전화 번호를 사용하십시오. 그렇게 말하지는 않지만, Facebook 사용자 이름을 사용할 수도 있습니다.

Create Custom Wordlists for Password Cracking Using the Mentalist

Beginners learning brute-forcing attacks against WPA handshakes are often let down by the limitations of default wordlists like RockYou based on stolen passwords. The science of brute-forcing goes beyond using these default lists, allowing us to be more efficient by making customized wordlists. Using the Mentalist, we can generate millions of likely passwords based on details about the target.
Password cracking is a long-established art, relying on a combination of brute-force processing power and the ability to refine your list down to likely options based on what you know about a target. Many security protocols are vulnerable to brute-forcing attacks, which at its core relies on a few key principals.
First, you must be allowed to try different passwords many times very quickly. Second, you need to be able to determine the difference between a password success and failure. Third, you need a list of passwords to automatically try very quickly. And finally, the password must be present in the list in order for the attack to succeed. As password lists get bigger, CPU and GPU performance becomes more important as the rate at which passwords can be attempted is sped up.

Brute-Forcing WPA, SSH, FTP & Other Passwords

Most wireless networks are secured by WPA or WPA2 encryption, which is able to be cracked by capturing a network handshake and using your computer's CPU to brute-force the password. Beside WPA, protocols like SSH and FTP are also vulnerable to brute-forcing, although the methods of brute-forcing can be differentiated between online and offline type attacks.
In an online attack, we connect directly to a service and send password attempts in a way that can be logged. An example of this would be Reaver or SSHtrix, which need to be connected to the network the host is on in order to send password guesses. In these attacks, the limiting factor is often how many incoming connections the FTP or SSH server can accept and the amount of time you must spend connected to the host while cracking.

Options to Start With — Default Lists

Rather than simply start with a dictionary-style attack, a smart attacker will often first look for lists that contain real passwords. These lists are generally regarded as the starting point for these sorts of techniques, as they will work against anyone with a truly awful or common password. In the wild, you can expect success rates of around 15% for these sorts of password audits. Obviously, if you are targeting a specific account or network, this is a pretty small chance of success.
That being said, you can still use these lists as a seed for a more refined attack based on information you know about the target. The reason these lists are effective is that you can think of them as a statistical survey of the most common passwords people use in the wild. Since the average user will reuse these passwords in multiple accounts, we can use the most common passwords as a seed to change small things, like adding or removing numbers, in a program called a word mangler.

Accidents on the Road – how to help

cycle accident

In most of the EU Countries people learn First Aid as part of their driving test – this does not happen in the UK and it is therefore more than likely that a driver involved in an accident will not be equipped with the necessary skills to help. This article helps to give to a brief overview as to what to do, but it is strongly advised that you undertake a First Aid course to properly gain the confidence to help.
Car accident and how to help
  • People screaming, crying and making a noise have to be breathing – your initial priority is therefore to check anyone quiet and not moving.
  • Quickly check if quiet casualties are responsive: – if there is no response check if they are breathing. If they are unresponsive and breathing ensure they are in a position where they are leaning forward or to one side in a position where the airway will remain open. Move them the minimum necessary and avoid twisting them. Keep talking to the casualty calmly as they can hear you even if they are unconscious. Keep them warm.
Supporting the head of an unconscious casualty in a carSupporting the head of an unconscious casualty in a car
  • Support the head and neck to avoid them twisting – do not cover their ears, keeping talking to them calmly and keep checking that they are still breathing
  • If the person is not breathing you will need to resuscitate – if you are on your own and have not called an ambulance – do this now and ask their advice as to the best way to resuscitate, as this is not easy to do in a car.
  • Only remove an unconscious person from a vehicle if there is an immediate danger to their life from fire, flood, and explosion….ask the emergency services over the phone for their advice as to what you should do. It is very difficult to remove an unconscious person from a vehicle and there is a major danger that you could worsen their injuries and injure yourself in the process.
  • Conscious casualties should be entrusted to the care of bystanders and removed from the wreckage to a safe area. Be aware of confused and dazed casualties who may wander into danger. Brief the bystanders to keep the casualties warm and calm and help them to contact next of kin. Look for any major bleeding and life threatening injuries and treat these first.
  • Note the nature of the wreckage and be aware of possible injuries as a result: bodies are softer than metalwork, so if there is major damage to the vehicle it is possible that there could be internal injuries to the casualty – ensure the bystanders notify you if there is any change in the casualty’s condition.
  • People thrown from horses, motorbikes or bicycles are at particular risk of damaging their pelvis. If you know how to stabilise someone’s pelvis then do this and keep monitoring them for signs of shock as a fractured pelvis can lead to internal bleeding.
  • Anyone trapped in a vehicle should be monitored carefully and the emergency services notified immediately. If someone is crushed, note the exact time when the accident happened as this is important in deciding on how and when to release the casualty). If there are additional people around, show them how to support the person’s neck to avoid them twisting as there is the possibility of a spinal injury.
  • If there is severe bleeding this will need to be controlled – wear gloves and apply dressings.
  • Do not allow anyone to smoke at the scene or give the casualties anything to eat or drink following the accident in case they later need an operation.Motorcycle accident - how to help
  • If a motorcyclist is involved only remove their helmet if they are unconscious and there is no other way to assess their breathing or their airway is in danger. There is usually a way of lifting the visor, it may be sensible to loosen their chin strap.
  • If a casualty has been hit by a car and they are lying on their back unconscious and breathing – they should be carefully rolled into the recovery position to keep their spine in line. This should ideally be done with the support of others to avoid twisting the spine.
  • (If you have received advanced training on MILS and recognition of early airway obstruction and are confident that you are able to react quickly if their airway is in danger – then maintain MILS and continuous airway monitoring and roll them into the recovery position immediately should they begin to obstruct).
  • If a casualty has been hit by a vehicle or thrown from one and they are conscious in the road, they should be encouraged to keep still. Ensure that someone is directing traffic and maintaining safety. Support their head and neck, keep them warm and dry and wait for the emergency services.
Everyone on the road should have a suitably stocked First Aid kit and know how to use its contents.
