Researchers have found a vulnerability in Android devices that allows hackers to access a device remotely without the owner ever knowing it was compromised. The flaw affects roughly 95 percent of Android devices running operating system version 2.2 to 5.1, according to cybersecurity firm Zimperium.
At fault is a media library (used to process media files) called Stagefright. Zimperium says it found multiple vulnerabilities in the framework. The company plans to present its research at the Black Hat 2015 security conference and at the hacking conference Def Con in August.
Las Bolsas chinas han sufrido hoy uno de los mayores desplomes diarios de su historia, el mayor desde 2007, con caídas de un 8,48% en Shanghái y un 7,59% en Shenzhen, apenas dos semanas después de empezar a recuperarse de su peor mes, en el que llegaron a perder un tercio de su valor. Desde su suelo de julio, el parqué chino rebotaba un 16%, pero ahora vuelve a las andadas en medio de malos datos empresariales y ante el temor de que las intervenciones de las autoridades del gigante asiático no sean suficientes para sostener al mercado.

German carmaker Daimler is planning to test self-driving trucks as early as this year, executive board member Wolfgang Bernhard told a German newspaper.
“We are positive that we will get approval for tests on German motorways within the next weeks,” Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung quoted him as saying. “Then we will start immediately.”
First tests of semi-autonomous trucks will take place in Daimler’s home state Baden-Wuerttemberg while the start of production is 2-3 years away, Bernhard, who is in charge of Daimler’s trucks business, told the paper.
Silicon Valley is a long way from Houston. Hackathon denizens seem to exist in a different universe than rough-and-ready oilfield crews. But tech startups are invading the oil business. Not only that, they’re succeeding despite the price rout.
Oil prices plunged in 2014 because of a supply glut spurred by the American fracking renaissance and OPEC’s decision not to reduce exports. As a result, exploration and production companies have cut budgets, laid off thousands of employees, and are fighting to rescue their balance sheets. Large oilfield services firms are in similar, or worse, positions. But a new generation of high-technology companies are stepping in to fill the gap, and investors are lining up to finance them.
At first glance, GetScale’s cameras might seem like just another factory surveillance system. The startup, however, wants to make life easier for engineers and assembly-line workers by allowing them to communicate directly and record the entire manufacturing process.
