iPhone Trojan discovered

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jan 9th 2008 1 Comment

The first trojan for the Apple iPhone has been identified by the forums at ModMyifone.com and confirmed by security firms F-Secure and Symantec, who have warned users to be cautious about installing third-party applications.  The malware, variously called “113 prep” and “iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep” purported to be a download of the leaked iPhone firmware 1.1.3, which broke cover last week, but when owners ran it all they saw was a message saying “shoes”.  However, removing the software had unexpectedly damaging results.

This is for those that are truly concerned with security. It has a biometric fingerprint scanner and 128-bit AES hardware encryption.

So according to the table below if you have x amount of Lithium or Lithium Ion in your gadget’s batteries you can’t take them with you. But that’s not even the best part, the best part is that this isn’t a security concern…. Wait for it, until January 1st 2008!

So check out this safe that stores your valuable stuff under fingerprint scanner (not quite as catchy as lock and key). It’s apparently so secure that its endorsed by the NRA for use with firearms.

Apparently ever since 2005 the Army has slowly been integrating Apple technology into their systems. Not a big deal you might say, but they are doing it for security reasons, which is a new one by me.

So if you have a PSP or especially a PS3 the content available for purchase on the PlayStation has probably garnered your attention, well, they are finally putting the pre-paid cards for said content on store shelves. So far it appears to only be the $20 cards, and even then have so far only been seen on an army base.

BOSSSometimes I see a product and I think… that’s perfect! The Body Orifice Security Scanner, or BOSS, is something along those lines.

Prisons in England and Wales are using the BOSS to scan inmates for “hidden objects”. This chair comes with three sensitive sensors capable of detecting hidden materials as small as a paperclip within the body.

Truthfully, I think it’d be a lot more useful in another setting, airports. Just a quick sit in the chair and no more hassle of “random inspections”. I think it would be quicker as well as less invading.

These notebooks combine high fashion, rock hard security, and high portability to make for the perfect laptop for the traveling business person who knows fashion. On the top they utilize a similar piano white or piano black finish as the ASUS Eee, but shinier.

skull helmetNothing says “I don’t fear death” more than a skull helmet. Except for a skull helmet that isn’t DOT or Snell certified, basically meaning it offers next to no protection.

Although if you were to look at the inside of the helmet, there is a fair amount of padding and such, so it probably lost its certification due to the fact that the face of the skull continues down the front of your face, and those eye holes probably block your peripheral vision a bit. But that’s just my guess; it could be that there actually isn’t enough protection.

My home security systems have always consisted of a lock and a dog. We’ve never had any problems with that unless you count the time some idiots took my dad’s tailgate from his truck in broad daylight, but that was outside the house. If we ever do decide, though, to upgrade to something a little more advance I can only assume that we’d go with something like the AlertMe.

AlertMe

This security monitoring service is like having your mother watch over you, it thinks of and sees everything. You have two smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, three door/window sensors that will alert you if they’re opened while you’re gone and three key fobs that let you turn the alarms on or off with a click of a button and even allows you to know who’s in the house or who’s gone. That means no more late night sneaking out kiddies! You’ll also receive two motion detectors that will report any movements to you and a Panic/doorbell/quick alarm cancel button.
