When was the last time you checked your Twitter following? I am embarrassed to say that the last time I analyzed my following was early last summer. During the interim, a slew of 79 cunning and crafty Twitter bots scooted up my profile skirt. Though these grubby little parasites did not add or detract from my social presence — they managed to piggyback my profile and litter my follower eye-candy with affiliate “get more twitter followers,” porn bots, phishing bots, scam bots, tattoo bots, marketing bots, muscle bots, egghead bots, fat-reducing bots, and Twitter bots that looked like they were botched from the get-go.

Twitter Bots Yesterday I wrote a blog over at Itsecurity.co.uk: Twitter Bots: the scourge of the low-end spam bots, where I stated that there is still a copious scourge of nettlesome low-end bots that slide under the radar on Twitter. Quoting myself: Though Twitter goes to great lengths to thwart fake bot accounts, spam bots are pervasive throughout the Twitter ecosystem. Whisper... just another scandalous hiss ~ TekSecurity Blog. Whisper’s privacy scandal broke late last week when The Guardian claimed that user data (stretching back to the app’s launch) was allegedly collated and indefinitely stored in a searchable database; that the company monitored some users (even when they opted our of geolocation services); and that they shared some data with the Department of Defense (DOD).

There were also allegations that Whisper held the tools to identify newsworthy users by peering into their history and tracking their movements through an in-house mapping tool. Tracking the location of a user can reveal more about an anonymous user than meets the eye. Though the Whisper app claims to be “the safest place on the Internet,” like so many social apps before them (Snapchat, Grindr, WhatsApp), they’ve managed to fall into the abyss of yet another scandalous hiss. The promise of anonymity A recent paper by USCB researchers revealed that the Whisper app contained a vulnerability that was able to pinpoint a users location. Services | Teksquisite Consulting, LLC. LinkedIn and MyBizCard.co Creeper - Tekblog | Tekblog. LinkedIn just keeps getting creepier and creepier; replete with its inauspicious appetite to dine off all our contacts.

MyBizCard.co is a virtual business card, claiming to be the only one in the world that contains peer-reviewed ratings. The domain was registered in April, 2013 (6 months old) and is conveniently masked behind Moniker Privacy Services. The only information you will find on LinkedIn about MyBizCard.co is the profile of a customer representative that goes by the name of John Denver.

The Unknown Creeper MyBizCard.co uses the LinkedIn API service for login and authentication to validate user accounts.

Please help me stop this spam! We also know nothing about John Denver; though we do know that he is not an American singer, activist, actor, humanitarian, or songwriter.

LetterMpress to bring a virtual letterpress to your iPad. Kickstarter user and graphic designer John Bonadies is developing an application that will revive the letterpress on your iPad. The application will allow you to create letterpress designs digitally using a collection of historically accurate wood typefaces and cuts.

“Letterpress has had a growing interest over the past decade amongst designers, artists, and printmakers. Call it a reaction to the “perfect” look of laser-printing,” said John Bonadies on the project’s Kickstarter page. “But unfortunately, much of the letterpress’s traditional technology was sold for scrap metal and replaced with computers over the last 30 years. Wood type was burned, thrown in a landfill, or divided up as knick-knacks in antique and craft shops. The destruction of manual presses and thousands of type collections has made the tools of letterpress a scarce resource these days.”

The original wood cuts aren’t only needed to ensure the historical veracity of the application. Facecrooks Home Page.
