A federal court has issued a search warrant compelling a Los Angeles resident to unlock her iPhone using Touch ID so that the FBI can gather evidence from it. While courts have issued similar orders before, this is the first time it has happened in a federal case, and a rare example of such a warrant being issued.
There, authorities obtained a search warrant compelling the girlfriend of an alleged Armenian gang member to press her finger against an iPhone that had been seized from a Glendale home. The phone contained Apple’s fingerprint identification system for unlocking, and prosecutors wanted access to the data inside it.

Brazil has once again opted to temporarily block the popular messaging service WhatsApp in the country. According to Brazilian publication Folha De S.Paulo, the block is scheduled to remain in place for 72 hours, affecting WhatsApp users across the country. The reason for the temporary ban hasn’t yet been revealed, but previous bans have come in response to Facebook’s refusal to comply with federal investigators in in ongoing criminal cases.
This isn’t the first time Facebook-owned WhatsApp has been temporarily blocked in Brazil. In December, the service was subject to a 48-hour shutdown for similar reasons related to a criminal investigation. That shutdown was lifted before the 48-hour period concluded, however.

Qatar National Bank hackade
Qatar National Bank har hackats och den data som publicerats på nätet medger banken är äkta och att den stulits i samband med intrånget.
Sammanlagt stals 1.4 GB data från banken som trots intrång och informationstöld hävdar att inga kunder ska drabbas och att kundernas pengar är säkra. Banken kommenterar inte hur hackarna tagit sig in i bankens datorsystem.
QNB Groups Risk Team monitored abnormal activity in our system environment, this was immediately communicated to relevant authorities. We also took immediate steps and our systems are fully secure and operational. The attack only targeted a portion of Qatar based customers.
While some of the data recently released in the public domain may be accurate, much of it was constructed and contains a mixture of information from the attack as well as other non-QNB sources, such as personal data from social media channels. We believe the nature of this incident is fundamentally an attempted attack on QNB Groups reputation and not specifically targeted at our customers.

Hackarna, som tros vara från Turkiet lade upp en video på YouTube som visar delar av hur intrånget genomfördes. Videon plockades dock snabbt bort av YouTube.

Vad ska Obama göra när han lämnar Vita Huset?
Det har blivit lite av en tradition av avgående presidenter att driva lite med sig själva och ämbetet. Barack Obama är ingen undantag.
Videon visades första gången under middagen med Vita Husets korrespondenter nyligen.

Radiohead raderar sig från nätet
Det började som ett kryptiskt utskick och nu ser det ut som om gruppen Radiohead valt att radera sig själva från nätet – passande nog samtidigt som deras nästa album släpps.
Utskicket hade den något kryptiska texten ”Burn The Witch we know where you live”. Strax efter det att utskicket landat hos bandets fans så började inlägg på Twitter och Facebook raderas.
Samtidigt började bandets officiella hemsida också att bli allt ljusare, allt vitare tills den blivit helt vit och tom.
Så nu är Faceboksidan tom, Twitterkontot tomt, den officella hemsidan helt vit – och idag släpps bandets nya album No Kay – Computer?.
Musiken däremot finns fortfarande kvar och du kan fortfarande lyssna till Radiohead via Apple Music.
