Woman charged more than $7,000 after buying toilet paper on Amazon

Woman charged more than $7,000 after buying toilet paper on Amazon

— A woman who ordered three cases of toilet paper from Amazon is dealing with a financial nightmare after she was charged thousands of dollars for it  -- and Amazon hasn't been able to refund her money. Now, she’s sharing a warning.

Barbara Carroll is a building manager who takes care of janitorial needs. She told WSB-TV that she placed an order on Amazon.com in March for three boxes of toilet paper, which were delivered to her home. Days later, when she checked her bank statement, she noticed a deduction for over $7,000
Confused, she checked her order history on the site. 
"There was this order for three cases of toilet paper for $88.17 and shipping $7,455 for a total of $7,543.12," Carroll said. "After I screamed I thought, 'Oh this is not a problem, this is Amazon and Amazon will take care of it.'" 
But she says Amazon was of little help because it was a third-party seller.
“The hardest part is that Amazon doesn’t stand behind their-third party sellers,” she said.

"The shipping guarantee covers nothing about the charges so they wouldn't even go any further," Carroll said. "I am willing to pay the charges, but they have to be normal charges." 
Carroll says she will continue to fight what she calls unfair charges.
There’s been no statement from Amazon, yet, on the incident.
Experts at the Consumer Action Center said it is best to pay for online purchases with a credit card and not a debit card. Credit card companies provide an extra layer of protection, which a debit card does not because it’s like paying with cash.

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum Exits Facebook-Owned Company, Will Focus on Porsche Collection

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum Exits Facebook
Whatsapp CEO Jan Koum

WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum announced on Monday he’s leaving the popular, Facebook-owned messaging app.
Koum’s exit comes only hours after a Washington Post report he’d been looking to leave the company after “clashing” with Facebook execs over its handling of user privacy. WhatsApp  made all of its messages end-to-end encrypted in 2016 — a feature Facebook Messenger has as well, although users have to opt-in to it.
“I’m leaving at a time when people are using WhatsApp in more ways than I could have imagined,” said Koum in a Facebook post announcing the decision. The team is stronger than ever and it’ll continue to do amazing things. I’m taking some time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare air-cooled Porsches, working on my cars and playing ultimate frisbee. And I’ll still be cheering WhatsApp on – just from the outside. Thanks to everyone who has made this journey possible.
WhatsApp was bought by Facebook in 2014 for $19 billion, only five years after launching. The messaging app continued to grab users across the globe, climbing to 1.5 billion monthly users earlier this year.
“Jan: I will miss working so closely with you,” commented Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Koum’s post. “I’m grateful for everything you’ve done to help connect the world, and for everything you’ve taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people’s hands. Those values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp.”
Koum’s departure follows in the footsteps of co-founder Brian Acton leaving the company last September. Acton has went on to criticize Facebook since leaving the company, saying “it is time” to join the #DeleteFacebook movement in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data leak.

How Antivirus Software Can Be Turned Into a Tool for Spying

It has been a secret, long known to intelligence agencies but rarely to consumers, that security software can be a powerful spy tool.
Security software runs closest to the bare metal of a computer, with privileged access to nearly every program, application, web browser, email and file. There’s good reason for this: Security products are intended to evaluate everything that touches your machine in search of anything malicious, or even vaguely suspicious.
By downloading security software, consumers also run the risk that an untrustworthy antivirus maker — or hacker or spy with a foothold in its systems — could abuse that deep access to track customers’ every digital movement.
“In the battle against malicious code, antivirus products are a staple,” said Patrick Wardle, chief research officer at Digita Security, a security company. “Ironically, though, these products share many characteristics with the advanced cyberespionage collection implants they seek to detect.”
Mr. Wardle would know. A former hacker at the National Security Agency, Mr. Wardle recently succeeded in subverting antivirus software sold by Kaspersky Lab, turning it into a powerful search tool for classified documents.
Continue reading the main story

Mr. Wardle’s curiosity was piqued by recent news that Russian spies had used Kaspersky antivirus products to siphon classified documents off the home computer of an N.S.A. developerand may have played a critical role in broader Russian intelligence gathering.
“I wanted to know if this was a feasible attack mechanism,” Mr. Wardle said. “I didn’t want to get into the complex accusations. But from a technical point of view, if an antivirus maker wanted to, was coerced to, or was hacked or somehow subverted, could it create a signature to flag classified documents?”
That question has taken on renewed importance over the last three months in the wake of United States officials’ accusations that Kaspersky’s antivirus software was used for Russian intelligence gathering, an accusation that Kaspersky has rigorously denied.
Last month, Kaspersky Lab sued the Trump administration after a Department of Homeland Security directive banning its software from federal computer networks. Kaspersky claimed in an open letter that “D.H.S. has harmed Kaspersky Lab’s reputation and its commercial operations without any evidence of wrongdoing by the company.”
For years, intelligence agencies suspected that Kaspersky Lab’s security products provided a back door for Russian intelligence. A draft of a top-secret report leaked by Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, described a top-secret, N.S.A. effort in 2008 that concluded that Kaspersky’s software collected sensitive information off customers’ machines.
The documents showed Kaspersky was not the N.S.A.’s only target. Future targets included nearly two dozen other foreign antivirus makers, including Checkpoint in Israel and Avast in the Czech Republic.
At the N.S.A., analysts were barred from using Kaspersky antivirus software because of the risk it would give the Kremlin broad access to their machines and data. But excluding N.S.A. headquarters at Fort Meade, Kaspersky still managed to secure contracts with nearly two dozen American government agencies over the last few years.
Last September, the Department of Homeland Security ordered all federal agencies to cease using Kaspersky products because of the threat that Kaspersky’s products could “provide access to files.”
A month later, The New York Times reported that the Homeland Security directive was based, in large part, on intelligence shared by Israeli intelligence officials who successfully hacked Kaspersky Lab in 2014. They looked on for months as Russian government hackers scanned computers belonging to Kaspersky customers around the world for top secret American government classified programs.
In at least one case, United States officials claimed Russian intelligence officials were successful in using Kaspersky’s software to pull classified documents off a home computer belonging to Nghia H. Pho, an N.S.A. developer who had installed Kaspersky’s antivirus software on his home computer. Mr. Pho pleaded guilty last year to bringing home classified documents and writings, and has said he brought the files home only in an attempt to expand his résumé.

Whatsapp Encryption, What Is End To End Encryption, Key, IPhone, Broken Secret


Whatsapp encryption iPhone,android smartphone, window mobile phone and also whatsapp encryption method, secrets, conversation encryption, hacks and much more you can get from this post. WhatsApp has proclaimed to everyone communication post on its facility are at the present completely encrypted, but the facility might silent be amassing significant details regarding person chats. The corporation makes known the past also, a greatly festivity that it had engaged ladders to make sure that in these communications might only be studied by the human being distribution and acceptance them.
It supposed that it had occupied the movement to make sure that memos could not be cut off by criminals or cruel commands. But the corporation is silent capable to amass vital information that might make use of for intelligence work or former hateful tops by persons similar folks, according to its possess solitude details. Although it can’t stock up or still interpret the substance of communication, it knows how to still amass an entire multitude of last information regarding them.
In the application might keep the date of the day and instant pound details connected with effectively send letters and the cell phone numbers caught up in the memos, as fine as one previous in order which WhatsApp is lawfully bound to bring together the corporation’s seclusion webpage study. That way are that in order can live on in these servers and so potentially be susceptible to hack or requirements from administrations to vision it.
Discuss has fueled more than the significance of so named as metadata means information concerning communications quite than their insides is for refuge forces. Administrations and others contain quarrelled that such details is simply helpful for creation choices at an elevated stage and not concerning any exact being is but solitude activists have thought that metadata can be with no trouble used to part jointly someone’s existence.
Such details might also be make use of for publicity at a number of direct in the prospect, known that this app is possessed by advertising gigantic i.e. Facebook. As several had been confident by the detail that the information in encrypted memos can no extended be understood by the website still if it required to, metadata might motionless potentially make use of for promotion reasons.
The in order that in this app is capable of observing is silent helpful to one scoundrel assailant, which agree to them to perceive the instance trample, the receiver, and dispatcher if the memo which they may make use of for themselves. The rule can ask for this in order as fine.
The fresh encryption scheme in this application is put into practice has been an extensive occasion pending, captivating single and a, not whole years. The messenger application grouped up with Open Whisper Systems to make the encryption scheme. Though, several persons are silent not persuaded that in this app has to place encryption at its front position.In the social media, some give the review by the using their names about this system. The latest information is exposed that still although in this app had brought in end-to-end encryption, their close relative corporation Facebook was silent suppose in information security. Let’s read all about whatsapp encryption broken and also message encryption.

Whatsapp Encryption Broken


In the whatsapp tranquil might be lawful and its fresh end to end encryption facility might not be violation any commandment The fresh encryption service for an end to end users has twisted lots of tops in the direction of safety and a lot of contain also queried the authority of the application quoting commandments beneath nation’s software strategy. Though, the nation immobile is short of some ultimate strategy for different talk platforms like different messengers like whatsapp or Facebook plus also doesn’t speak no matter which concerning the encryption being form make use of by these applications.

In my sight, below the living narrow structure, the largest bit encryption is positively not forbidden. When it approaches the cables room, the structure obtains a small extra multifaceted by contradictory needs is like the constraint on volume encryption and restrict of input distance end to end at forty bits is being valid to owners of diverse certifies or authorisations.
Though, in any situation, these compulsions at present only be relevant to certify owners themselves is such as ISPs and TSPs and not to web, that is in excess of the pinnacle different applications like WhatsApp application. The biggest application Whatsapp brings in new method is end-to-end encryption for all its facilities these days. These ways that all consumers describes, passages, videotape, descriptions and previous folder send be able to just be vision by the planned beneficiary, and no single, not still this app itself, can admission this information. This assurance of customer solitude produces fresh anxieties for the administration.
This application will at the present discover it not possible to obey with administration requirements for information, as this app itself will not contain the resale stage of input. In result, this app is action precisely what the different big companies are against to using this method. By this, it is stopping administration right of entry to information but on a lot well-built extent. While this company is constrained admission to clients of iPhones simply, at this occasion almost each consumer of this app on any machine is confined. Fifty-one percent of all consumers of web messaging forces in this nation make use of WhatsApp, with a whole numeral of in excess of seventy million consumers. This app has at the presently prohibited administration right of entry to the letters and calls of at slightest seventy million national consumers.

Whatsapp Encryption Key


The application is at the present used by the end to end encryption method at all eras. By using this method the consumer’s sends the messages, videos, images sending by using the whatsapp cannot be interpreted by the any other person are in not in this application. The cyber- criminals, rule agency services can’t read these messages. Even groups details in the whatsapp like calls and messages will also be encrypted. The whatsapp co-creator Jan Koum states about this information on the Social media web page, and he mentioned that the company has worked on the fresh trait from previous two years.

And he also said that we have operated for the previous final 2 years to provide the user’s too good safety over the message conservations in this application. Everyone must use this security option.

The end-to-end encryption method permits us to transfer the important data with loved ones, associates and employees. By using this method we can tight for the criminals and hackers for the cyber net criminals.
In the end to end encryption method in the Whatsapp is using the Signal Protocol is planned by the Open Whsiper Systems., for its encryption method. He can explain the technical information about the method in the white paper. It also says that the one in the segment is recognised, users do not want to reconstruct a fresh section with every anyone awaiting the existing section is gone a through the exterior occasion such as an application rebuild or gadget alter” Lets read more about whatsapp encryption broken, whatsapp encryption key and also whatsapp encryption iPhone in next para.

Whatsapp Encryption Algorithm


In this method of the encryption algorithm is used on the message conservations. The first one you tap on the data, in this application has a entered with a pop-up message giving the detailed of the what the end-to-end encryption gives. The users can check if the encryption is operating or not. For the checking purpose, the user can tap on the verify button, they will be obtained a different web page with a QR code, followed by a string of sixty numbers for the secure process.

If any one of your buddies is close to you, then catch their phone scan that QR code from your mobile phone but this alternative is there at the end of the similar web page. And if the code is equals, then the conservation is encrypted. If the scanned code is equalled then it appears of the green tick on it, when it does not have the exclamation symbol with a red alert for a consumer that the messages are not safety. So many have this whatsapp encryption type.

Whatsapp end-to-end conversation is worked for the extended time?


At that time, the encryption is option is added we tried some of the chats of the messages are bringing to encrypted. In the initial situationpreviouslythey can check the conservation of the message chat between in the different operation users like Android and iPhone device users the scanned codes should equal. We also attempted corresponding different security codes on different and same Android mobile phones, and single occasion once more we get the red alert representative there is no encrypted for end-to-end data.

For the together Android mobile phones are on the newest account of the application from the Play stores. The end-to-end encryption means of the labour for us and demonstrated the secure tick i.e. green tick. We are not certain why the confirmation unsuccessful, still although the talk speaks of it is fresh method is end-to-end encrypted. We may have to stay for one more application informs that might repair this subject.

Whatsapp Hack broken vetiver without the Encryption


The founders of the Whatsapp is launched the new method is the end-to-end encryption for the users. In the privacy setting of the Whatsapp are broken and can be used by downloading a just easy bit of the software, and it claims the different tool from the Dutch developer in behind of the proof of the concept i.e. what spy public.

A shelter engineer and reporter at the important company he pointed absently that this app is encrypted but according to its solitude perceive, this app can or does it keep hold of day and occasion trample in order linked with effectively bring letters and the cellular phone information concerned in a wording swap over. Furthermore, the messaging application will also bring together “some previous details” which it is lawfully bound to bring together. On the contrasting, this application is maintained previous that no in order regarding the talks or some in order connected to it determination be stored on its servers.
On this application solitude perceive said that the “WhatsApp might keep hold of day and instance trample in the order associated with productively transport memos and the cell phone numbers concerned in the communications, as fine as any previous details which in this app is lawfully bound to gather. Records that are sending during the application overhaul will live on our servers following release for a small era of an occasion, but are erased and naked of any individual details within a small era of occasion in agreement with our universal preservation rules.”
For online solitude supporters who consideration that the fresh encryption characteristic will make sure hateful hackers and administration interruption, this is a cause of anxiety as scoundrel assailants will silent be capable of recognizing the receiver, dispatcher, and still the occasion trample. Also, the administration can surely enquire for these details, which the corporation has to obey with.
The nation’s establishments have not so far pointed to whether they will follow deed alongside WhatsApp. But the administration has before approach up alongside other corporation counting BlackBerry over encryption.
