How Meta plans to curb phishing attacks on Instagram and Facebook

0

To protect people’s safety and privacy, Meta and a financial services company Chime filed a joint lawsuit, against two Nigeria-based individuals who engaged in phishing attacks to deceive people online and gain access to their online financial accounts through online impersonation. Meta filed this action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of Facebook’s and Instagram’s Terms and Policies.

Meta has taken several prior enforcement actions against the defendants, including disabling Facebook and Instagram accounts, blocking impersonating domains on its services and sending a cease and desist letter.

Impersonation scams are a serious challenge, and this action represents a major step forward in cross-industry collaboration against this abuse.
Between March 2020 and October 2021, the defendants engaged in phishing attacks intended to lure people using Facebook and Instagram to phishing websites with the goal of compromising their financial services accounts for profit. To conceal their activities, the defendants used a network of computers to control over 800 impersonating Facebook and Instagram accounts and evade technical enforcement measures.

“Online impersonation is prohibited across Meta technologies, and we’ll continue to take action to protect the people who use our technologies. Cross-industry collaboration is critical to disrupting this abuse and to Meta’s broader efforts to combat online impersonation. This lawsuit is a clear signal to those who would seek to engage in similar abuse that this behavior will not be tolerated,” says Jessica Romero, Director of Platform Enforcement and Litigation in a press note.

Adobe updates Premiere Pro with Remix for music, 3x faster Speech to Text

0

New features in the latest release of Premiere Pro dramatically accelerate editorial workflows, including Remix, which uses Adobe Sensei to intelligently re-time music clips to match video content, and an updated Speech to Text, which can now be used offline, generating accurate transcriptions up to 3 times faster.

Video editors, from established professionals, social creators to new filmmakers, need tools that help them work efficiently while they craft their stories. By weaving intelligent features into streamlined workflows, and leveraging the power of modern hardware, Premiere Pro continues to innovate, enabling creators to keep up with the growing opportunities for video.

Remix in Premiere Pro, powered by Adobe Sensei

The new Remix tool in Premiere Pro allows editors and creators to rearrange songs to match the timing of their videos. Remix, powered by Adobe Sensei, uses artificial intelligence to analyze the song and generate a new mix that fits the desired duration, whether shorter or longer than the original. Remix works so fast that it is easy to try out different arrangements using sliders in the Essential Sound panel. Until now, an editor could only fade music in and out, or had to make precision cuts with the razor tool to manually assemble a new arrangement, a process which can take hours. Remix does this in seconds.

A flexible, faster Speech to Text

Speech to Text in Premiere Pro is already the industry’s best workflow for captioning videos. With this release it is faster and more flexible. Downloadable language packs allow the user to transcribe videos without an internet connection and offer the same exceptional accuracy that user’s value in the original release of Speech to Text. On Intel Core i9 and Apple M1 computers, transcriptions are 3 times faster, and typically 2 times faster on other current processors. The English language pack is installed automatically with Premiere Pro and all other 12 supported languages can be installed within the application or via Creative Cloud Desktop. All language packs will be updated on an ongoing basis with future releases.

Faster exports for 10-bit 420 HEVC and other improvements

Editors and creators who are delivering HDR content can now export projects up to 10x faster on Windows systems with Intel or NVIDIA graphics. 10-bit footage includes more color information, allowing for beautiful HDR imagery, but requiring more processing to encode. Hardware acceleration takes advantage of the GPU to speed up those exports.

Adobe updates Premiere Pro

The latest release of Premiere Pro also ships with GPU acceleration for Linear Wipe and Block Dissolve effects. GPU acceleration means better playback and faster exports when using these effects. To-date over 70% of Premiere Pro effects have been GPU-accelerated.

For owners of new 2021 MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, Premiere Pro now adjusts to accommodate the notch in the bezel of the display.

Critical warning for Google Chrome users: What’s it all about and how to safeguard yourself from the menace?

0

Cyberattacks were never taken as seriously the way it is now. This perhaps is the reason that now everyone – from an individual level to an organizational level – is adopting cybersecurity measures like never before. The government, in particular, is steadfast in its approach to alert internet users to be on their guard in case of any imminent threat.

In one such attempt to combat the menace, the government has warned Google Chrome users of being prone to cyberattacks due to multiple vulnerabilities existing in the browser. Computer Emergency Response Team of India (CERT-In), the Centre’s nodal cybersecurity agency under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has issued an online advisory to recommend users to update the Chrome browser to avoid targeted attacks, where a hacker could gain access to their systems by using an arbitrary code.

With this warning, the government’s cybersecurity agency has also outlined a few steps through which users can safeguard themselves and take preventive steps to overcome any security bugs and vulnerabilities.

What’s the warning all about?

In its latest advisory, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) says that people are at high risk if they are using the Google Chrome version which is older than 98.0.4758.80. The ‘High Severity’ warning further says, “Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome OS which could be exploited by a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service condition on the targeted system.”

“These vulnerabilities exist in Google Chrome due to Use after free in Safe Browsing, Reader Mode, Web Search, Thumbnail Tab, Strip, Screen Capture, Window Dialogue, Payments, Extensions, Accessibility, and Cast; Heap buffer overflow in ANGLE; Inappropriate implementation in Full Screen Mode, Scroll, Extensions Platform and Pointer Lock; Type Confusion in V8; Policy bypass in COOP and Out of bounds memory access in V8,” the advisory adds.

What’s Google’s take on Chrome bug?

Google had released an update for Google Chrome on January 6 this year, after the identification of security bugs in its version. It had rolled out “Chrome 98 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac, and Linux”, as per the official release. The update included 27 security fixes in total, as per the company. At the time of announcing the last release, Google said that access to bug details and links might be kept restricted until a majority of users do not update Chrome browser on their systems. “We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed,” the internet giant said.

How to be on your guard against cyberattacks on Chrome?

Besides finding out and issuing advisory against multiple vulnerabilities, the government’s cybersecurity agency, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, has also come up with a solution so that you can remain safe against cyberattacks. It has advised people to check the current version of Google Chrome and if it is found to be 98.0.4758.80 or earlier the same should be updated at the earliest.

Steps to upgrade Google Chrome:

Step 1: Open the Google Chrome browser

Step 2: Navigate to the three dots located on the top right corner of the interface

Step 3: Locate and click on the option that says “Settings”

Step 4: Click on the ‘three-lined’ menu situated at the top left corner of the screen

Step 5: Click on an option that says ‘About Chrome’

Step 6: Chrome will automatically detect if a stable update is available for the user

Step 7: Once updated, relaunch Google Chrome and your browser will be safe

What exactly CERT-In does?

Indian Computer Emergency Response Team is the nodal agency under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) of the Government of India. It deals with cybersecurity threats like hacking and phishing, and aims to strengthen the security-related defence mechanism of the Indian Internet domain. It must be noted that CERT-In has always been watchful of Google Chrome in the past as well. Earlier, it criticised the availability of certain extensions on the chrome store. In 2020, the nodal agency had asked Google Chrome users to uninstall certain extensions that were caught collecting “sensitive” user data. In December 2021, the CERT-In had issued a similar warning against Chrome, which Google later fixed via the software update.

About Google Chrome

Chrome is a cross-platform web browser developed by internet giant Google. It was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows, built with free software components from Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox. It was later ported to Linux, macOS, iOS and Android, where it is the default browser. The browser is also the main component of Chrome OS, where it serves as the platform for web applications. Google Chrome is possibly the largest used browser in the country, both in personal computers as well as mobile phones.
