Security guru McAfee says his twitter account was hacked

Image
John McAfee has said his Twitter account was hacked and used to promote lesser-known t:crypto-currencies. The cyber-security pioneer has rebuffed suggestions that the alleged incident undermined his own credentials saying: "I have no control over Twitter's security". But he also posted that he believed his mobile phone had likely been compromised. Twitter declined to comment but highlighted its security advice guide . The social network offers two-factor authentication - in which a person must enter a code sent to a mobile phone in addition to a password to access an account - to avoid such incidents. Mr McAfee told the t:BBC that he had activated the option, but added that he believed the hacker had intercepted the authentication code. "The first indication that I had been hacked was turning on my cell phone and seeing the attached image," he said. "I knew at that point that my phone had been compromised. "I was on a boat at t

Facebook and Twitter: Nine Russian Brexit ads found by inquiries

Image copyright Facebook says its investigation into Russian attempts to influence the Brexit vote has determined the activity amounted to just three adverts. Twitter says its own inquiry has linked six ads promoting referendum-related content on its platform to Russian sources. The Electoral Commission had asked the social media giants for the data. But an MP who had also demanded the review has said he is dissatisfied with Facebook's response. Skip Twitter post by @DamianCollins 2) It would appear that no work has been done by Facebook to look for other fake accounts and pages that could be linked to Russian backed agencies and which were active during the EU referendum, as I requested. — Damian Collins (@DamianCollins)  December 13, 2017 Report End of Twitter post by @DamianCollins Facebook said it had looked into activity by accounts and pages it had previously tied to a Russian organisation called the Internet Research Agency.

Twitter is paralysed by Trump's tweeting

Image
Image copyright GETTY IMAGES Image caption President Trump retweeted posts from a British far-right group Once again, Twitter finds itself between a rock and a far-right place. Donald Trump’s  retweeting of Britain First's Jayda Fransen on Wednesday was a truly shocking moment . The British Prime Minister said it was "wrong". It contributed,  as one US news site put it , to Trump's "darkest day" as President. Yet as Wednesday rolled into Thursday, the leader of the free world retweeting a far-right organisation became just another frightful part of what we apparently refer to as the "new normal". Now perhaps the most surprising element of this spectacle isn't that the President amplified the tweets of a woman who has been fined for hate speech - but that those tweets are still there. Volatile space Recently Twitter has pledged to crack down on hate speech, and, more importantly, promised to be more transparent about how it goes abo

Twitter OAuth using PHP to make your own twitter web client

Image
My last post on twitter was an introduction on how to use twitter, a lot of things have changed since then but that post just covers a few basics to get you started. This post is for developers on how to build your own twitter web client - which means instead of using twitter.com or any other client out there (echofon, chromed bird, TweetDeck, etc.) to tweet, you can make your own app to work with twitter. More specifically this post shows how to use OAuth to tweet using PHP. OAuth (Open Authentication) is an authenticating protocol that allows internet users to approve an application to act on their behalf without the need for the user to share their password with the application. With OAuth the service provider (Twitter) issues tokens and it involves the exchange of tokens/keys and signing of requests thus making it a secure protocol. Twitter uses OAuth and Basic Auth (username and password used for authentication) but on  16-August-2010  Twitter is ending support for basic auth,

Step by Step guide on How to Change Twitter Username

Image
Changing names could be a hassle, often involving complicated processes and a long wait. However, you can change your names on social media quite easily. There are lots of reasons why you might want to change your Twitter name. Now, there are two different names you use on Twitter: the display name and the Twitter handle. The display name is the one that appears above the username, and to the left of your username in the Twitter fed. Your username, on the other hand, is the name that appears in your profile URL. Your username comes with a “@” sign. You might want to change either of the two names, or both of them. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your Twitter name: HOW TO CHANGE YOUR TWITTER USERNAME •First, log in to your Twitter account using either the mobile app or any browser of your choice. •Click on your profile image, or the gear icon if you can’t see a profile image. Then, click on Settings. •The next screen should be the Account screen, but if it doesn’t come up

Almost all would have heard of it and many have even joined, but the question is do you use it? There are many inactive users with only a single tweet (message). If you are new to the twitter world this post might help you to get started. This FAQ will help to get you started with Twitter: What is a tweet? A  140 characters  or less message to tell the world what you are doing? or whatever you like! Who can see my tweet? People who  follow  you will see it in their "stream". While everyone can see it in your homepage you can protect your profile to allow only your followers to see. Who can follow me? Anyone can follow you unless you have protected your profile in this case you will have to allow people who want to follow you. How can I send a message to a user? Use the " @username " notation followed by the message to reply to not ju
