Getflix : VPN Solution That Netflix Users Want

With Netflix now starting the crackdown on proxies and VPNs to counter viewership of content from unsupported territories, it might appear that your only remaining mode of watching the upcoming House of Cards season is via illegal means only.

However, a new paid solution offering lifetime support is here to answer your VPN woes, once and for all. Getflix the service, uses the traditional VPN with a new twist.

How Does Getflix Work?

Rather than routing your entire web data, Getflix only routes the data for the videos that you want to watch. Hence, the overall internet speeds aren’t affected and you can otherwise browse as swiftly as usual (a notion which depends on many other factors as well).

The service gives you the option to unlock 100 sources of media consumption, including movies, TV shows, sports & more and gives you 50 VPN nodes to access those.

The service is not cheap, but it is on sale right now at 91 percent off, for $69 for the length of a lifetime. Usually, the deal costs $855 so it is a steal at the moment. (Actually, the duration is 30 years, but never mind.)

Just so you know, there’s also a free VPN/SmartVPN option which gives you 256-bit encryption for all of your traffic. No additional software is required for it to work either.

Netflix became more stringent when it comes to geographical restrictions after a major turn earlier this year to become a truly global force. In order to evade government regulations and licensing, it tightened the restrictions around the availability of its shows, and has since been taking action on it. If you still want to pay the content-makers their fair share however, then there is probably no better option than Getflix out there.

Haris Aziz Listed Among Top 10 Upcoming AI Researchers

A Pakistani researcher, Haris Aziz, has managed to get his name in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering’s (IEEE) “AI’s 10 to Watch”. The list was published in IEEE’s Intelligent System’s Magazine. 

According to the IEEE’s official statement, “AI’s 10 to Watch” acknowledges the top 10 researchers and professionals in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

AI’s 10 to Watch

The list features young scientists from across the globe. The criteria to be named in the list requires the candidates to have completed their doctoral degree (Ph.D) within the past five years. The candidates should also have worked and made notable contributions to AI research. IEEE Intelligent Systems publishes the list after every two years and Haris Aziz was featured in the Jan-Feb edition of the 2016 issue.

A Profile of Haris Aziz

Haris graduated with a BSc (Honours) in 2003 from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). He completed his degree in Computer Science from LUMS. After that, Haris went to the UK and received a degree in MSc in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science from the University of Oxford. The former LUMS student finally completed his Ph.D in Computer Sciences from the University of Warwick, UK.

The Pakistani scientist currently works as a senior researcher at Data61, one of Australia’s largest data innovation companies. He’s a conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney as well.

Haris Aziz was recognized for his research in the field related to computational social choice, an intersection between artificial intelligence and economics. His work consisted of design of preference aggregation algorithms, models and algorithms for cost allocation, mechanics for multi-agent resource allocation, and team formation using tools from cooperative game theory.

If IEEE’s list of emerging scientists in artificial intelligence proves correct, these 10 scientists and researchers could make a noticeable impact in the field over the coming few years.

Apple could offer IMessage for Android

Although Apple has its own operating system for both desktop (Mac OS X) and iPhone (iOS), the company has always tried to port its in-house applications to other OS platforms.

Apple debuted on its rival mobile OS platform last year with the launch of Apple Music on Android. However, iTunes and Safari has already been made available for both Windows as well as Mac.

Now, the company will soon move more of its mobile applications to Android if comments made by Chief Executive Tim Cook at the recent company-wide event for Apple employees are to be believed.

iMessage App for Android Platform

Cook reportedly told his staff that sooner Apple may bring other apps and exclusive services to the Android Systems, and added that bringing Apple Music to Android in November was "a way of testing the waters for growing its services division through other platforms," reports 9to5Mac.

So, you could see iMessage, the company's encrypted messaging application, expanded to Android.

iMessage is one of the most famous Apple's apps that allows Apple users to send and receive messages, photos, and videos to their fellow Apple users as long as the device has a data connection.

How Apple Can Read End-to-End Encrypted iMessages

What many of us know is iMessage uses end-to-end encryption that even Apple or anyone else can not access or read your messages, but what we don’t know is backed up messages to Apple'siCloud service are vulnerable to federal warrants.

With iCloud Backup enabled, the copies of all your messages, photographs and every important data stored on your iPhone or iPad are encrypted on iCloud using a key controlled by Apple, and not you.

This would allow Apple and hence, anyone who breaks into your account, to read your messages and see your personal and confidential data.

List of Apple Apps you Might See on Android

Besides iMessages, the list of Apple apps that you could see expanded to Android may include iTunes, Music Memos, Apple Maps, and iCloud.

In September, the company released its first-ever Android application, known as Move to iOS, designed to help Android users transfer their content quickly and safely from an Android device to an iOS device.

Although it is yet unclear when Apple will make the move, if this happens anytime soon, Which one of your favorite Apple apps you want to see on your Android devices?

Facebook Hacking Tool that can hack YOURS account

Yes, you heard me right.

A newly discovered Facebook hacking tool actually has the capability to hack Facebook account, but YOURS, and not the one you desire to hack.

How to Hack Facebook account? How to Hack my Girlfriends Facebook account? My boyfriend is cheating on me, How do I hack his Facebook Account?

These are the queries that most of the Internet users search on Google.

But Beware! If you come across any Facebook hacking tool that promises you to help you hack your friends Facebook accounts, you may end up downloading a hacking tool that could hack you, instead of them.

Dubbed Remtasu, the tool is marketing itself as a Facebook hacking tool but actually is aWindows-based Trojan that has accelerated globally over the past year, and has now capability to disguise itself as an app for accessing people's Facebook account credentials.

The tool contains a Keylogger that can capture all your keystrokes and store them in a file that is subsequently sent to the attacker's server.

The malicious Facebook hacking tool is exploiting "the constant desire of a lot of users to take control of accounts from this well-known social network," according to a Monday blog post by IT security company ESET.

How Remtasu Works:

The malicious tool is delivered via direct download websites.

Once a user visits one of these websites, the dangerous Win32/Remtasu.Y malware automatically gets downloaded and executed on victim's machine and hide itself among other files.

Remtasu has capability to:

• Open and obtain information from the clipboard.
• Capture keystrokes.
• Store all the data in a file which is subsequently sent to an FTP server.

The worst part is yet to come:

The malware remains on the infected computer even when the victim reboots their system or attempts to find the malware threat in the list of active processes.

"In this case, the malware replicates itself, saving the copy in a folder that it also creates within the system32 folder," reads the post. "The new InstallDir folder remains hidden inside the system files, making it difficult for users to access."

Most affected parts of the world include Colombia, Turkey, Thailand and elsewhere. In past, Remtasu was distributed through malicious files attached to phishing emails purporting to be from legitimate government or businesses organisations.
