Discovered in a seemingly harmless support app. A young security researcher named Bill Demirkapi has discovered that Dell’s pre-installed software leaves computers and laptops open to hijacking. The said vulnerability exists in the Dell Support Assist app’s remote code execution. The software is used for updating drivers, adjust settings and clean out unused files. But after making certain modifications to the app, hackers can misuse it to install malware into your computer or take over your PC. This exploit, however, is not open to any hacker out there as only attackers on the same local network as your PC can do it. Also, you have to visit a website controlled by the attacker to fully execute the hijack. How it Works The attackers simply need to trick the user into clicking on a website. The website then runs malicious JavaScript code which is usually hidden inside ads on legitimate websites, which then allows the attacker to gain the access he needs. Here’s a demonstr...

Do you want to dunk your phone in a bucket of water to find out? OnePlus has been endlessly marketing their latest upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 7. And today, we have a rather unusual teaser video about the phone. OnePlus is continuing its long tradition of not getting an IP rating for its phones, claiming that they’re simply just extra costs added to the phone and not really necessary. IP Rating and its Benefits For those who don’t know, an IP rating is a standard for rating the degree of protection a device has against dust, water, and accidental contact. Phones with water/dust resistance usually have an IP rating which tells us how much water/dust the phone can withstand before getting fried. In the video, a OnePlus 7 Pro is casually just dropped into a bucket of water to show us that there won’t be any IP rating for this phone either, but it is still going to be water resistant nonetheless. Not Covered by Warranty Yes our phones will cost less as a result and that is...

The role of technology in the home has changed drastically in recent years. We've come a long way from the kitchen wall phone and desktop computer, in an era when smartphones, tablets and wearables dominate the scene. The newest wave comes from the internet of things (IoT), and today's offerings are raising the bar on what makes a device "smart." Increasingly, "smart" means safe, in terms of security and health. Joe Colistra, architect at the Center for Design Research at the University of Kansas, was  recently profiled  in  The Atlantic  on his vision for a smart home that safeguards occupants' well-being. Such updates include motion-sensing walls and force-detecting floors that notice walking problems in senior citizens. Another update: "smart toilets" that analyze biochemistry and report to doctors on the user's health. With technology redefining home life in these ways, now seems like a ripe time for entrepreneurs to get in on...

It’s pretty early in the year and we’re already saying goodbye. At the end of 2016, Twitter announced it was shutting down its video service Vine -- devastating thousands with the news. YouTube personality and filmmaker Casey Neistat closed the gates of his social video app Beme too when he sold it to CNN in the fall of 2016. On top of companies making their exits, we’ve seen some of our favorite and most inspirational leaders pass away. The Queen of Carbon, Mildred Dresselhaus, died in February this year, as well as iconic actress Mary Tyler Moore. Here are some of the people, products and brands we’ve lost this year.

We are seeing a shift in what it means to be a brand and how to build your brand. From about 2007 or 2008 -- alongside the rise of social media as a mainstream technology -- we cultivated a mindset around building our  personal brands  (where the winners were the ones shouting the loudest). This in turn led us to reimagine business brands where the focus was on humanizing those brands. Brands evolved beyond the words and visuals to describe them and manifested more as “what we do, is our brand.” In recent times, this evolution has continued as brand building has focused on greater authenticity, transparency and empathy. This evolution has been  inspired  by consumers who have become more demanding of the businesses that supply them of products and services. Gone are the days where branding was considered a marketing activity purely for the benefit of the company doing it. Not sharing your why? It’s time to start. Today  branding  is about being ...

Editor’s Note: In the new podcast  Masters of Scale , LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman explores his philosophy on how to scale a business -- and at Entrepreneur.com, entrepreneurs are responding with their own ideas and experiences on our  hub . This week, we’re discussing Hoffman’s theory: the smartest companies don't tell their employees how to innovate, they manage the chaos. Listen to this week's episode  here .  Just like how an ecosystem impacts the life that develops in it, culture impacts how a company grows. It becomes the lens everything within the company is seen through. When we think of consistently  successful companies , a “cultural commitment” is often referenced as one reason for their ongoing success. When a  company struggles , a "broken culture” too often becomes the key culprit for organizational failures. Culture impacts who you choose to hire and how you choose to utilize those team members. Simply put, cultur...

June 10 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Apple II computer. The tech giant’s first offering, the Apple I, was sold in DIY kit form, but the Apple II, released in 1977, was designed to be used by the everyday consumer -- with features such as color graphics, sound and even a built-in video game -- right out of the box. The modern era of personal computers and the fortunes of the tech giant’s flagship product are inextricably tied together. The Apple II was  discontinued  in 1990, but it was a bestseller for more than a decade. By 1984, more than  2 million  of the computers had been sold. In his  introduction  of the Apple II in  BYTE Magazine  in 1977, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shared his vision of the future: “To me, a personal computer should be small, reliable, convenient to use and inexpensive.” That vision seems to have paid off. In celebration of the Apple II’s 40th birthday, here is a look at some unexpected ...

The Airport Security Force (ASF) claims to have arrested a couple attempting to smuggle heroin to Saudi Arabia. According to ASF officials present at the Lahore International Airport, a couple of passengers were found in possession of illegal contraband.

The American Civil Liberties Union recently uncovered evidence that led Twitter, Facebook and its Instagram subsidiary to stop sharing data with Geofeedia, a firm accused of improperly collecting social media data on protest groups, and sharing that information with numerous law enforcement agencies. Geofeedia, a developer of location-based analytics, had been marketing its technology to law enforcement agencies. It was used for such purposes as monitoring Black Lives Matter protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, according to the ACLU. The ACLU of Northern California uncovered the practice after requesting public records information from 63 law enforcement agencies in California. The documents revealed that Instagram had provided Geofeedia access to streams of user posts, called the “Instagram API,” until that practice was terminated last month, according to Matt Cagle, technology and civil liberties policy attorney for the ACLU of Northern California. The d...
