How to ensure topnotch security for your Android phone?

This can happen with any person and at any time. Some of you might have already faced the same. We are discussing about your handset getting stolen or snatched by some stranger from outside. All this can happen and there is no way out. It’s not just the lost phone that can make you worried, but the sensitive information and data stored inside, which can prove of great help to criminals, if the same lands into wrong hands.

Thus, if you are an owner of a smartphone, which you bravely use while travelling or moving around on the street, there are some steps, which you should take to ensure data protection for your device and also to track and manage the phone, once it’s lost or gone. The wireless industry, on the other hand, is constantly working to confront phone theft episodes. So, here are few security tips, if you own an Android phone that can help in securing the data on your phone, if not the entire device!

Preventing data theft and hacking on your Android phone
The ways in which you can prevent data theft and hacking on your Android phone are:

·         Lock code which can entail any PIN from four to 17 digits in the form of a password can help. Make sure you use a combination of numbers, letters and special characters to make it difficult for anyone to track your password. But, this doesn’t end here as finger smudges on the display can help hacker in deciphering the unlock pattern, so develop a habit of wiping your phone’s screen often. The newer phones boast an improved feature, like the fingerprint scanner on the HTC One Max.

·         The Lock screen features like freedom to access missed calls and a preview of text messages you missed might seem great. But, try disabling this by going to the Security page in the Settings menu.

·         The Device Manager on Android is similar to ‘Find My iPhone app’ that gives you your phone’s access even after it’s stolen. You must always keep this feature activated by going to the Settings Menu on Google and choosing the option Android Device Manager there. You need to check boxes reading ‘locking’, ‘remotely locating’ and ‘phone resetting’ here.

What if a device is lost?
For locating a device that has lost, first sign in to Android Device Manager Website, which requires your Google ID and password. The list displaying all devices on your account will appear, clicking on each device will help you find its location on Google Maps. The device must be connected to a public Wi-Fi or a cellular network for this feature to work and to help you locate it.
You can next lock your phone by changing the lock mode or can set the phone to ring on its full volume nonstop for 5 minutes, or you can also choose to erase everything on your handset.  Android however does not have versions of Activation Lock, but you can easily find such features with third-party apps.

The final word
Like iOS, you cannot track a handset that is offline or switched off. Even if you send commands during this time, they are carried only when the phone reconnects. Also, when choosing to wipe off completely, tracking the device gets impossible. However, if somebody tries to swap the SIM card, you can detect your phone. Also, wiping microSD cards remotely is not possible; it’s available only for the internal memory of your phone. So, just be careful on what your phone’s memory card contains.

The good and bad

Android’s protection features are easy to use and attractive and the lock code option is great and missing on its competitors. However, adding onscreen messages and a mobile app, can make Android Device Manager pretty more equipped and more useful as well. Google needs to do something similar to the Activation Lock on Apple to make Android devices more protected and theft-protected and dataloss-proof.

Speaker and Mic: The new route of Virus Attacks on PCs

Computers without network can also become victims to threats! Surprised? But, it’s now a proven reality, where researchers have found proof of software that can help in PC communication via microphones and speakers that are built-in, even when there is no network connection.

Computer researchers have created a malware that can establish connections between devices, which are not actively connected with the network. This finding has raised a big question on the reliability of ‘air gap’ that is considered a reliable way to protect information and data.

New malware jumps protected ‘air gap’ barrier using audio signals

The scientists created a prototype malware, which makes use of inaudible audio signals to transmit data in small amounts over hidden channels, located within a distance of about 65 feet. This can happen via the in-built speakers and microphones. The distance can be further elevated by connecting a device network that can help in repeating signals. This proof-of-concept software, has thus suggested that an internet connection is not enough, and even without it a computer can experience threats from the outside world.

The research came after the unveiling of a mysterious malware, which made use of high-frequency signals to move from one non-connected device to another. The computer used for carrying out this test was Lenovo T400, and the primary aim was of creating software that can help with underwater communications.

The first version developed by the R&D division at Underwater Acoustics and Marine Geophysics was capable of transmitting 20 bits data per second up to 64.6 feet. For covering greater distances, an acoustical mesh network that connects nearby devices to the chain could be used. Even with the small rate of transmissions, researchers suggest and warn that hackers and cybercriminals can make the malware more powerful with Keyloggers that can help in recording sensitive information.

An example is the login details of the user who has been victimized. Acoustical communications are usually not considered, so this concept seems a little out of league. But, the findings are all real and something that can prevent this are using a host-based intrusion detection system that’s capable of analyzing audio signal.

Also, it must contain a low-pass filter that blocks high frequency signals and allows only signals of low frequency to pass.

Windows 8.1 leaves Mac OS X 10.9 behind in the race of desktop OS

The latest Operating System by Microsoft has taken over the OS industry by storm. It’s the ‘Windows 8.1’, which has taken over majority of the OS traffic that exists today.

As per stats, Windows 8.1 is the fifth most popular operating system for desktops, for details, stats below shows the same:

• Windows 7- 46.64%
• Windows XP-31.22%
• Windows 8- 6.66%
• Windows Vista- 3.57%
• Windows 8.1- 2.64%
• Mac OS X 10.9- 2.42%
• Mac OS X 10.8- 1.85%
• Other OS– 4.98%

For the month of November, the latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows 8.1 snagged 2.64% traffic of all OS for desktop. The number was pretty better than what was seen in October, which was 1.72% and 0.87% in September.

This rise pushed Windows 8.1 just behind Windows Vista with a 3.7% share and ahead of the Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, which earned a 2.42% share.

The preview edition of Windows 8.1 was released in June, while the official launch took place in October. The upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 is free and the latter is an improved version of all its predecessors.

The share of traffic for Windows 8 began falling in November, when users started migrating to the successor OS. Combined, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 managed a market share of 9.3%. This was above Windows Vista, which managed a distant third place against Windows 7 and Windows XP on 1^st and 2^nd respectively.

For XP, meanwhile, the OS has been seen losing its charm since August 2012, when Windows 7 started dominating the OS screen. XP’s fan following still seems to remain, with this 12-year old OS remaining a popular choice among home and business users. Microsoft has announced cutting down support for XP in April 2014 though; let’s see what change this would bring on XP’s popularity and Microsoft’s users.
