Your phone couldn't contain your entire music collection, for example, or guide you to a restaurant in a foreign city. Bomber-reconnaissance planes invariably had pilots on board. And how's this for quaint: Your corner drugstore still stocked photographic film! The technology waves that washed away those realities spread from tremors that occurred years before: The first smartphone was unveiled by IBM in 1993, the first digital photo was taken in 1975, and the first drone aircraft flew during World War II.
Clearly, the seeds of the next crop of technology staples have already been planted. Perhaps the first tender shoots can already be discerned among the pages of this issue. For all of IEEE Spectrum's Top 11 Technologies of the Decade, visit the special report. Personal details of millions of Vodafone customers online. The personal details of millions of Vodafone customers, including their names, home addresses, driver's licence numbers and credit card details, have been publicly available on the internet in what is being described as an ''unbelievable'' lapse in security by the mobile phone giant.
This website is aware of criminal groups paying for the private information of some Vodafone customers to stand over them. Other people have apparently obtained logins to check their spouses' communications. Personal details, accessible from any computer because they are kept on an internet site rather than on Vodafone's internal system, include which numbers a person has dialled or texted, plus from where and when. Advertisement The full extent of the privacy breach is unknown but this website has learnt that possibly thousands of people have logins that can be passed around and used by anyone to gain full access to the accounts of about 4 million Vodafone customers.

NIST uses three NIST Special Publication subseries to publish computer/cyber/information security and guidelines, recommendations and reference materials: SP 800, Computer Security (December 1990-present): NIST's primary mode of publishing computer/cyber/information security guidelines, recommendations and reference materials (SP 800s are also searchable in the NIST Library Catalog); SP 1800, NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guides (2015-present): A new subseries created to complement the SP 800s; targets specific cybersecurity challenges in the public and private sectors; practical, user-friendly guides to facilitate adoption of standards-based approaches to cybersecurity; SP 500, Computer Systems Technology (January 1977-present): A general IT subseries used more broadly by NIST's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL), this page lists selected SP 500s related to NIST's computer security efforts.

There are four big stories we'll be tracking, with an eye on long-term energy conservation and greenhouse gas reduction. In each there is likely to be a critical threshold; a stumble crossing any of them will have wide repercussions in power engineering. (1) Electric vehicle reception.
With Chevy's Volt and Nissan Leaf coming onto the market, with a number of other electric vehicles soon to follow from other manufacturers, this is the year in which EVs at last have their chance to obtain a secure niche in the market--or flop. If consumers turn their noses up at them--whether it's because they're too expensive, their performance is not what it's cracked up to be, or the charging infrastructure isn't mature enough--we will have to conclude that they'll have little or nothing to contribute for the foreseeable future. Through the 1990s IEEE Spectrum magazine ran a regular column called EV Watch, only to retire it at the end of the decade because there just wasn't enough to watch.

Some officers played the role of prisoners, acting like gang members and stirring up trouble, including a mock riot. The latest in prison gear got a workout — body armor, shields, riot helmets, smoke bombs, gas masks. And, at this year’s drill, computers that could see the action. Perched above the prison yard, five cameras tracked the play-acting prisoners, and artificial-intelligence software analyzed the images to recognize faces, gestures and patterns of group behavior.
When two groups of inmates moved toward each other, the experimental computer system sent an alert — a text message — to a corrections officer that warned of a potential incident and gave the location. The computers cannot do anything more than officers who constantly watch surveillance monitors under ideal conditions. The enthusiasm for such systems extends well beyond the nation’s prisons. All of which could be helpful — or alarming. Despite such qualms, computer vision is moving into the mainstream. 7 tips to help protect your cell phone privacy. Today I received a brand new credit card because my old one had expired. To activate the new card, I had to call my credit card company so they could verify the card was indeed in the hands of the rightful owner. Having dropped my land-based phone line recently, I made the call from my cellular phone, and I had to type in my credit card number on my cell phone keypad.
After the call I had the idea to check if my card number could be found anywhere on my cell phone – it was indeed very easy to find. It is important to realize how sensitive information on a mobile device can be. If your mobile phone is stolen, such information can be leaked and at worst lead to identity theft. Beware of your phone’s history of dialed numbers. Cell phone privacy is something we should all be concerned about.
'Most sophisticated mobile virus' starts spreading on Android smartphones. Targeted ... Google Android phones. Photo: AFP A powerful virus targeting smartphones in China running Google's Android operating system may represent the most sophisticated bug to target mobile devices to date, security researchers said. Anti-virus firm Lookout Mobile Security estimates that the number of phones that have been infected by the virus, dubbed Geinimi, ranges from the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Researchers said that the virus has yet to wreak havoc, though, and that they were unsure what its authors were seeking to accomplish. "It is not clear to us what the purpose of it is," said Kevin Mahaffey, chief technology officer for Lookout.
"It could be anything from a malicious advertising network to an attempt to create a botnet. " Advertisement A botnet is an army of enslaved computers that its controllers can compromise for identity theft, use to launch attacks to shut down websites or turn into spam email servers. Reuters.
