WhatsApp is currently down with users reporting connection issues

WhatsApp is down according to user reports mentioning issues connecting to the messaging platform and the inability to send messages although still connected. Starting roughly one hour ago, users have been describing how they can no longer connect to WhatsApp’s servers, with the application displaying a continuous “Connecting…” message. Others have said that they are no longer able to send messages even though their app is still connected to the messaging platform’s servers. The desktop and mobile apps are still working which hints at the outage being localized and not affecting the company’s services worldwide. Outage site DownDetector shows thousands of user reports that started streaming in around 4:15 PM EST, with affected WhatsApp users reporting the same issues from Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The company has issued a statement on Twitter, acknowledging the outage and saying that its engineers are working on fixing the ongoing issues.   “You may be experiencing some issues using WhatsApp at the moment,” WhatsApp tweeted earlier today. “We’re aware and working to get things running smoothly again. We’ll keep you updated and in the meantime, thanks for your patience.” In early October, WhatsApp experienced a five-hour-long worldwide outage together with Facebook and Instagram following a BGP routing issue. Facebook later revealed that the outage was caused by faulty configuration changes made to some of its backbone routers that brought all services to a halt. Update: According to an update issued by WhatsApp, the connection issues should now be fixed and users can again get back to their chats.

Message has lines too long for transport – How to resolve

If when sending emails from within Outlook you receive a bounce error of “message has lines too long for transport” this is likely because Outlook is not configured to correctly wrap the sentences within the email.  Long lines can be hard to read in emails, as such it is considered proper email etiquette to break the lines of your messages to somewhere between 65 and 70 characters. When you wrap long lines of text, the Outlook email client automatically breaks sentences away from the current line to start on a new line. This shortens the length of all outgoing emails and is similar to narrowing the margins of the writing space. Outlook has a useful setting to set the line wrap to whatever number is needed. Automatically wrap long lines in Outlook Open Outlook and go to the File menu.   Select Options. within Outlook Options, select Mail. Scroll down to Message format. In Automatically wrap text at character, enter a number to indicate where you want Outlook to wrap text. Keep this between 65 and 70 characters. Select OK to apply the changes and close the window.

Massive LinkedIn Phishing, Bot Attacks Feed on the Job-Hungry

The phishing attacks are spoofing LinkedIn to target ‘Great Resignation’ job hunters, who are also being preyed on by huge data-scraping bot attacks. Emotionally vulnerable and willing to offer up any information that lands the gig, job seekers are prime targets for social engineering campaigns. And with the “Great Resignation” in full swing, cybercriminals are having an easy time finding their next victim. Just since Feb. 1, analysts have watched phishing email attacks impersonating LinkedIn surge 232 percent, attempting to trick job seekers into giving up their credentials. “Current employment trends help to make this attack more convincing,” a new report from Egress said. “‘The Great Resignation’ continues to dominate headlines, and a record number of Americans left their jobs in 2021 for new opportunities. It is likely these phishing attacks aim to capitalize on jobseekers (plus curious individuals) by flattering them into believing their profile is being viewed and their experience is relevant to household brands.” The emails had subject lines that would be enticing to job hunters hoping to get noticed, like, “Who’s searching for you online,” “You appeared in 4 searches this week” or even “You have 1 new message,” the Egress team said. The phishing emails themselves were convincing dupes, built in HTML templates with the LinkedIn logo, colors and icons, the report added. The scammers also name-checked well-known companies throughout the bodies of the phishing emails, including American Express and CVS Carepoint, to make the correspondence seem more legitimate, the analysts said. Even the email’s footer lifted the company’s headquarters’ address and included “unsubscribe” links to add to the email’s authenticity, the analysts pointed out. “You can also see the LinkedIn display name spoofing, which is designed to hide the webmail accounts used to launch the attacks,” the report said. Once the victim clicks on the malicious links in the email, they were directed to a site to harvest their LinkedIn logins and passwords. “While the display name is always LinkedIn and the emails all follow a similar pattern, the phishing attacks are sent from different webmail addresses that have zero correlation with each other,” the analysts added. “Currently, it is unknown whether these attacks are the work of one cybercriminal or a gang operating together.” Data Scraping Attacks on Job Seekers Besides using potential job leads to trick targets into coughing up their credentials, Imperva, in a separate report, detailed how it stopped the largest bot attack the company has seen to date, on a global job listing site. Imperva didn’t specifically name the company, but the company said that it was bombarded with 400 million bot requests over 400,000 unique IP addresses over four days that tried to scrape all its job seekers’ data. The Imperva team added that these types of web-scraping attacks are common and can result in “lower conversion rates, skewed marketing analytics, decrease in SEO ranking, website latency, and even downtime (usually caused by aggressive scrapers).” But as Imperva pointed out in its report, data scraping is one of those cybersecurity gray areas. Collecting publicly available information isn’t itself a data breach, but collected in mass quantities, it can be a weapon wielded against users in social-engineering attacks. Last summer, a massive data-scraping attack against LinkedIn was discovered to have collected at least 1.2 billion user records that were later sold on underground forums. At the time, LinkedIn reiterated that the scraped data was public information, not private information, and didn’t qualify as a breach. LinkedIn isn’t really at fault here, according to Yehuda Rosen, senior software engineer at nVisium. “This has little to do with LinkedIn specifically – they’re not doing anything wrong here,” Rosen explained. “It boils down to the fact that LinkedIn has hundreds of millions of members – many of whom are very accustomed to seeing frequent legitimate emails from LinkedIn – and may inevitably click without carefully checking that each and every email is the real deal.” That leaves it to individual users to be mindful of the information they expose publicly and how it could be used to trick them into clicking on a malicious link. “While I don’t believe that this will hurt LinkedIn’s brand, this does reiterate the importance of email phishing education,” Ray Kelly, with NTT Application Security, “Given these emails are coming from a legit LinkedIn email address makes it especially difficult to identify the danger. My rule is to never click on email links. Always visit the site directly.” NOTE:: This article is copyright bythreatpost.com and we are using it for educational or Information purpose only

Facebook Agrees to Pay $90 Million to Settle Decade-Old Privacy Violation Case

Meta Platforms has agreed to pay $90 million to settle a lawsuit over the company’s use of cookies to allegedly track Facebook users’ internet activity even after they had logged off from the platform. In addition, the social media company will be required to delete all of the data it illegally collected from those users. The development was first reported by Variety. The decade-old case, filed in 2012, centered around Facebook’s use of the proprietary “Like” button to track users as they visited third-party websites – regardless of whether they actually used the button – in violation of the federal wiretapping laws, and then allegedly compiling those browsing histories into profiles for selling the information to advertisers. Based on the terms of the proposed settlement, users who browsed non-Facebook websites that included the “Like” button between April 22, 2010, and September 26, 2011, will be covered. “Reaching a settlement in this case, which is more than a decade old, is in the best interest of our community and our shareholders and we’re glad to move past this issue,” a spokesperson for Meta was quoted as saying to Variety. The development comes a year after Meta was ordered to pay $650 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused Facebook of violating the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) over its use of facial recognition to tag users in photos without their explicit consent. The settlement also arrives as the company has entangled itself in yet another privacy lawsuit from the U.S. state of Texas, which earlier this week sued Meta for “capturing and using the biometric data of millions of Texans without properly obtaining their informed consent to do so.” NOTE:: This article is copyright by thehackernews.com and we are using it for educational or Information purpose only

Cloud Application Hosting VS Shared Hosting: Which is Best for Small Business App Hosting?

A business that relies on self-hosted applications needs a hosting platform. There are many hosting platforms to choose from: dedicated servers, cloud servers, virtual private servers, Hybrid servers, platform as a service, and shared hosting are just a few of the options. If we were to list these options from least to most powerful, shared hosting would be at one end of the spectrum and Cloud Application Hosting would be at the other. You might think that Cloud Application Hosting and shared hosting serve distinct markets because they are so different. But comparing the two is worthwhile for a couple of reasons. First, many businesses choose shared hosting only to discover it doesn’t meet their application hosting needs, subsequently upgrading and consolidating their apps on a Cloud Application Hosting. Second, a Cloud Application Hosting fulfils all of the hosting requirements of many small businesses, including website and ecommerce hosting, email, database hosting, hosting for internal apps and services, data storage, and more. What is Shared Hosting? Shared hosting uses one physical or virtual server to host the sites and apps of many different users. The server’s resources are shared between those users with potentially thousands of applications. Because lots of users share the resources of the server and therefore the cost, shared hosting is inexpensive. It’s worth emphasizing that shared hosting doesn’t use virtualization software to give each client a virtual machine. Shared hosting is not cloud hosting or a virtual private server. Traditional shared hosting relies on the multi-user features of the operating system—almost always a Linux distribution such as CentOS—to maintain the separation between hosting accounts. More modern shared hosting may use an operating system such as CloudLinux for improved security and resource management. Shared hosting accounts are controlled via a control panel such as cPanel, and they may include additional services like email inboxes and automatic app installation. What is a Cloud Application Hosting? A Cloud Application Hosting is a physical server with an always-on internet connection. Whereas shared hosting splits a server between lots of users, a Cloud Application Hosting “dedicates” the whole machine to one user; it is single-tenant hosting whereas shared hosting is multi-tenant. The physical server has similar components to any other computer, although rack-mounted servers look a little different. It has one or more processors, RAM, one or more storage devices, and a network interface. Unlike consumer machines, Cloud Application Hosting are equipped with enterprise-grade hardware such as ECC RAM for increased reliability.  Cloud Application Hosting range from moderately powerful to extremely powerful, depending on the specifications. At the top-end of the range, Cloud Application Hosting are the most potent single-machine hosting option available—the only type of hosting more powerful combines multiple Cloud Application Hosting. Cloud Application Hosting vs. Shared Hosting: Pros and Cons Small businesses consider multiple factors when choosing hosting: cost, ease of use, the capabilities of the platform, security, and so on. Let’s see how shared hosting and Cloud Application Hosting compare. Shared Hosting Pros Shared hosting is cheap It is possible to find managed shared hosting that costs only a couple of dollars a month. Shared hosting providers spread the cost of the server and bandwidth over many different users, so each user pays a small portion of the total. Shared hosting is easy to manage Shared hosting offers little in the way of configuration options at the operating-system level. Users don’t have to manage the server or its operating system, but they do have to manage their own site or application. Shared hosting is designed for common hosting scenarios Most shared hosting clients want to install a CMS like WordPress or an ecommerce store like Magento. A shared hosting provider configures their platform to make that as easy as possible and often provides automatic installation of the most popular apps. Shared Hosting Cons Limited performance A shared hosting server may well host hundreds or thousands of websites—that is why it is so cheap. The performance of shared hosting is acceptable for a personal blog that receives a handful of visits a day, but a busy site or ecommerce store runs into resource limitations quickly, resulting in poor performance and negative user experiences. Apps with a growing number of users often need to be moved to a more powerful hosting platform. Resource contention The resources of a shared hosting platform are shared, which means apps compete for resources. If an application consumes excessive bandwidth or memory, fewer resources are available to neighboring apps and there is nothing that users can do about it. Furthermore, if yours is the app that causes significant performance issues for other users, many shared hosting platforms will simply remove it from their platform. Lack of flexibility Shared hosting is engineered for the most common use cases. It cannot accommodate unusual hosting scenarios, and clients are forced to work within the constraints of the platform rather than adapting the platform to their needs. Lack of control Shared hosting users have no insight into or control over the operating system or the software that runs on it. They can’t patch out-of-date software except for the software they host. They have no control over how the server is managed. Shared hosting users put a lot of trust in their hosting provider. Lack of scalability If an app runs up against resource limitations, the only solution may be to migrate to another hosting platform. Shared hosting plans do have some limited potential to scale, but a growing app hits hard resource limits beyond which shared hosting cannot grow. Cloud Application Hosting Pros A custom hosting solution Cloud Application Hosting are custom built for each client. You choose the hardware from an extensive range of processor, memory, storage, and networking options. You choose the operating system from a selection that includes multiple Linux distributions, Microsoft Windows, or a custom OS. Peak performance Resources are entirely at the disposal of your apps. Performance can’t be degraded because another client’s app consumes too many resources, and your apps can use every resource
