US tech giant Apple has previewed forthcoming emojis, including one that depicts a woman wearing a hijab.More than 12 animated symbols were unveiled on Monday to celebrate World Emoji Day and will be released on Apple devices later this year, the company said.”The new Emoji make it easier for users to express themselves with greater diversity, additional animals and creatures, new smiley faces and more,” Apple said in a statement.

The headscarf-wearing character was approved by Unicode, a non-profit international consortium, in November last year after a Saudi teen living in Germany campaigned for its inclusion.

How about weapons, or malware, or lists of credit-card numbers?We’re sorry to inform you, but your nefarious desires just got harder to satisfy.With the takedown of two of the dark web’s major marketplaces—AlphaBay and Hansa—this week, buyers and sellers of illicit materials are wondering where to go next and whoch—if any—dark-web marketplaces are safe from government watchdogs.European and U.S. officials announced the closures of the two marketplaces on Thursday, dealing a major blow to online black markets.According to Emily Wilson, director of analysis at dark-web intelligence firm Terbium Labs, vendors and buyers are in shock. ”One of the things that continues to pop up is the concern that these aren’t the only markets that have been compromised,” she said.

Apple has added a new “Customer Support” role to the iTunes Connect portal for app developers, allowing companies to provide designated representatives with the ability to respond to customer reviews on the App Store. The new role complements the change earlier this year that allowed app developers to begin responding to reviews on the App Store. Previously, only members of the developer’s team with the Legal, Admin, App Manager, or Marketer roles had the ability to respond to customer reviews; this new more specific role allows developers to more easily delegate this task to other members of their team without the need to provide unnecessary extra privileges.

Uppgifter om Säpos och Försvarsmaktens agenter, som verkar under falsk identitet, kan ha röjts i samband med att Transportstyrelsens IT-system lades ut på IBM, skriver Dagens Nyheter.Det framgår av Säpos förhörsprotokoll med Transportstyrelsens förra generaldirektör Maria Ågren, rapporterar Dagens Nyheter.När Transportstyrelsen lämnade ifrån sig datadriften fick IBM-tekniker i Tjeckien som inte hade säkerhetsprövats full tillgång till databaserna. De skulle därmed ha kunnat kopiera datafiler med känslig information.Om det skedde kan åratal av arbete ha raserats, säger en DN-källa och syftar på att det tar tid att bygga upp en falsk identitet.

The neighbors had their suspicions.The young Canadian accused of masterminding the world’s leading ”darknet” internet marketplace lived a seemingly quiet life for more than a year with his Thai girlfriend in a middle-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Bangkok.But the flashy cars he drove stood out.There was the nearly $1 million, metallic gray Lamborghini.

But according to the U.S. Justice Department, he was the mastermind of AlphaBay, an internet marketplace that traded in illegal drugs, firearms and counterfeit goods.

Transportstyrelsen hör till de myndigheter som Säpo har utsett för att särskilt kunna hantera hemlig information. Detta gör att IT-skandalen på myndigheten är särskilt allvarlig, enligt säkerhetsskyddschef Patrik Fältström vid Netnod, en svensk organisation som arbetar med internets infrastruktur.– Senast något av den här omfattningen hände var Stig Bergling-affären, säger han.Allt fler uppgifter om IT-skandalen på Transportstyrelsen kommer nu fram.I dag avslöjar SVT Nyheter att uppgifter om svenska militärfordon finns bland de handlingar som hanterats av tekniker i utlandet som inte var säkerhetsprövade.
