Here's what the department told the auditors:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;"><i>"It is the responsibility of each agency to ensure their networks and information systems are secure while it is the responsibility of DHS to provide a baseline set of protections and government-wide situational awareness, as part of a defense-in-depth information security strategy."</i></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Einstein is Effectively Blind</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If this wasn't enough to figure out the worth of the $6 Billion firewall, Einstein is effectively Blind. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is behind the development of Einstein, has not included any feature to measure the system's own performance, so the system doesn't even know if it is doing a good job or not.</div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">So, <i>"until its intended capabilities are more fully developed, DHS will be hampered in its abilities to provide effective cybersecurity-related support to federal agencies," </i>reads the report.</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Einstein was actually developed in 2003 to automatically monitor agency network traffic, and later in 2009 expanded to offer signature-based detection as well as malware-blocking abilities. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the 23 agencies are actually required to implement the firewall, but the GAO found that only 5 of them were utilising the system to deal with possible intrusions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite having spent $1.2 Billion in 2014 and <a href="http://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2016/01/dhs-6-billion-firewall-may-not-be-effective-keeping-hackers-out-government-audit-says/125525/" target="_blank">$5.7 Billion in total project</a>, Einstein still only monitors certain types of network flaws along with no support for monitoring web traffic or cloud services.</div></div><div class="feedflare">

Why doesn't our data?"</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Building massive data centers underwater might sound crazy, but it is exactly something Microsoft is testing with its first submarine data center, dubbed <b>Leona Philpot</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- adsense --><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">World's First Underwater Data Center</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The testing is part of Microsoft’s plan dubbed <b><a href="http://natick.research.microsoft.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Project Natick</a></b> — an ongoing research project to build and run a data center that is submerged in the ocean, which the company believes, could make data centers faster, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and easier to set up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Leona Philpot (named after the <b>Halo</b> character from Microsoft's Xbox) was tested last August, when engineers placed an enormous steel capsule a kilometer off the California coast, <i>30 feet underwater in the Pacific Ocean.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A single datacenter computing rack was placed in an eight-foot-wide steel capsule, which was covered in around 100 sensors to monitor every aspect of the underwater conditions: pressure, humidity, and, most importantly, motion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- linkads --><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The test ran from August to November last year (exactly <b>105 days</b>) and the engineers said it was more successful than expected.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Why Underwater Data Center?</h3><div class="video-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L2oJw1a_qEM" width="560"></iframe><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to <a href="http://news.microsoft.com/features/microsoft-research-project-puts-cloud-in-ocean-for-the-first-time/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>, these are the main reasons for experimenting with underwater data centers:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Air conditioning cost is one of the biggest pain in running data centers. </b>Traditional data centers are believed to consume up to 3 percent of the world's electricity.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, placing the data centers in the ocean eliminated the need for cooling and will highly cut energy costs required to cool the heat generated by the racks upon racks of servers that process and store the world's digital lives.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. Half of the world's population is located within 200 kilometers of the coast</b>, so placing data centers in the sea would reduce latency – the time data takes to travel from its source to customers, which simply means faster delivery of data.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Reduce the time to build a data center from 2 Years to 90 Days.</b> Microsoft believes that if it can mass produce the steel capsules, the company could build data centers in just 90 days.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This would make its operations cheaper and much quicker than the time needed to set a data center up on land.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, the capsules designed by the company would also adopt new, innovative rack designs that do not even need to consider human interaction.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Use of Renewable Energy. </b>The project's engineers even believe that in future, underwater data centers might be able to power themselves by renewable energy, as in this case, perhaps underwater turbines or tidal power to generate electricity.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>5. Environment-Friendly.</b> Microsoft will also be tackling environmental concerns related to underwater data centers. The company says its current underwater data center prototype emits an "extremely" small amount of heat energy into the surrounding waters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">A Few Limitations:</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Data centers on land are open for IT engineers to fix issues and replace servers whenever required, but the company wants its undersea data centers to go without maintenance for years at a time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since Microsoft doesn't have a team of Scuba engineers, each Natick data center unit would operate for over 5 years without maintenance and then it would be dragged up to the surface to have its internal parts replaced.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other obvious risks for submarine data centers could be saltwater that is corrosive and weather that can also be a problem, to name just two potential hurdles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Future Of The Data Center</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The company started working on this idea in 2013, but the development of a physical prototype began in 2014 and August last year with its first ever submarine data server, Leona Philpot.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since Microsoft's Project Natick has been in its "early days," it is hard to say when underwater data centers can actually adopted. However, Microsoft has plans to design a new version of underwater data centers that's three times larger than Leona Philpot.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is not just Microsoft; many tech companies are considering new ways of housing data. In 2013, <b>Facebook </b>located one of its latest state-of-the-art data centers in Luleå, the far north of Sweden, to make use of cheap, renewable energy generated by hydroelectric schemes and outside air for cooling.</div></div><div class="feedflare">

The social media giant has also come up with a solution to minimize the presence of caliphate group from its social media platform.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar efforts have previously been made by Anonymous hacktivist group, who conducted various planned operation like <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/02/anonymous-isis-cyber-attack.html" target="_blank"><b>OpISIS</b></a>, <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/11/anonymous-hacker-isis.html" target="_blank"><b>OpParis</b></a>, expunging ISIS channels from Twitter and <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/11/telegram-isis-channels.html" target="_blank"><b>Telegram</b></a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recently, Facebook <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2016/02/11/facebook-adds-new-tool-to-fight-terror-counter-speech/?mod=WSJBlog" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">introduced</a> a new program, dubbed "<b>Counter-Speech</b>," that offers advertising credits up to $1000 for those who raise their voice against hate speeches &amp; terror propagandas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This new intelligent strategy would enlighten the immature minds of those who got influenced by the radicalized propaganda and created an automatic hatred towards the group (<i>who tried to brainwash with their propagandas</i>).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, rather than vanishing or blocking the extremist Facebook pages that spread hatred among its followers, Facebook is focusing on educating more and more young minds in an effort to fight against terrorism.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The First Person to Receive $1000 Credit</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Arbi-el-Ayachi</b> - A German comedian had got benefited from the newly released Facebook plan when he released a video showing eating halal meat is poisonous to Christians, last year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- linkads --><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;">How did the idea strike?</h4><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The idea was formed by the current Facebook Chief Operating Officer <b>Sheryl Sandberg</b> while <a href="http://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2016/sessions/the-transformation-of-tomorrow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">speaking</a> at World Economic Forum last month.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sandberg backed up this idea by referring to a recent attack conducted by the group in Germany called <i>"Laut gegen Nazis"</i> (an anti-neo nazi group) had attacked the Facebook page of the far-right NDP by getting members to like ("Like Attack") and post on the page.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="text-align: justify;">"Rather than scream and protest, they got 100,000 people to like the page, who did not like the page and put messages of tolerance on the page, so when you got to the page, it changed the content and what was a page filled with hatred and intolerance was then tolerance and messages of hope" Sandberg stated.</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Cyber World Fights Against Terrorism</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gradually, the massive operation to fight against terrorist organizations began to hit the headlines and grabbed the attention of several tech giants like Google, YouTube, and Twitter.</div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Youtube had wiped out more than 1000 dozens of radical videos from its database.</li><li>Twitter had expelled 1,25,000 accounts of Jihadi members since in mid 2015.</li><li>Google also rolled out a special advertising program for terrorist sympathizers who type extremism-related words in the search engine, but the "top" search results display anti-radicalized links.</li></ol><div style="text-align: justify;">Joint ventures like this would act as a Digital Age Shield to minimize the threat levels.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, Facebook had not mentioned about the verification procedure for those credited $1000.

An SSH (Secure Shell) client connecting to a server could also be compromised.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, an attacker need to bypass several operating system security mechanisms – <i>like ASLR and non-executable stack protection </i>– in order to achieve successful RCE attack.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Alternatively, an attacker on your network could perform <b>man-in-the-middle </b>(MitM) attacks and tamper with DNS replies in a view to monitoring and manipulating (injecting payloads of malicious code) data flowing between a vulnerable device and the Internet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Affected Software and Devices</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All versions of glibc after 2.9 are vulnerable. Therefore, any software or application that connects to things on a network or the Internet and uses glibc is at RISK.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The widely used SSH, sudo, and curl utilities are all known to be affected by the buffer overflow bug, and security researchers warn that the list of other affected applications or code is almost too diverse and numerous to enumerate completely.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- linkads --><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The vulnerability could extend to a nearly all the major software, including:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><ul><li>Virtually all distributions of Linux.</li><li>Programming languages such as the Python, PHP, and Ruby on Rails.</li><li>Many others that use Linux code to lookup the numerical IP address of an Internet domain.</li><li>Most Bitcoin software is <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/01/ghost-linux-security-vulnerability27.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reportedly vulnerable</a>, too.</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Who are Not Affected</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The good news is users of Google's Android mobile operating system aren't vulnerable to this flaw. As the company uses a glibc substitute known as Bionic that is not susceptible, according to a Google representative.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, a lot of embedded Linux devices, including home routers and various gadgets, are not affected by the bug because these devices use the <b>uclibc</b> library as it is more lightweight than hefty glibc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The vulnerability was first introduced in May 2008 but was <a href="https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18665" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reported</a> to the glibc maintainers July 2015.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The vulnerability was discovered independently by researchers at <b>Google</b> and <b>Red Hat</b>, who found that the vulnerability has likely not been publicly attacked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The flaw was discovered when one of the Google's SSH apps experienced a severe error called a segmentation fault each time it attempted to contact to a particular Internet address, Google's security team reported in a <a href="https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.ca/2016/02/cve-2015-7547-glibc-getaddrinfo-stack.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blog post</a> published Monday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Where glibc went Wrong</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google researchers figured out that the error was due to a buffer overflow bug inside the glibc library that made malicious code execution attacks possible. The researchers then notified glibc maintainers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here's what went wrong, according to the Google engineers:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">"glibc reserves 2048 bytes in the stack through alloca() for the DNS answer at _nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r() for hosting responses to a DNS query. Later on, at send_dg() and send_vc(), if the response is larger than 2048 bytes, a new buffer is allocated from the heap and all the information (buffer pointer, new buffer size and response size) is updated."<br /><br />"Under certain conditions a mismatch between the stack buffer and the new heap allocation will happen. The final effect is that the stack buffer will be used to store the DNS response, even though the response is larger than the stack buffer and a heap buffer was allocated. This behavior leads to the stack buffer overflow."</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;"><u>Proof-of-Concept Exploit Released</u></h4><div style="text-align: justify;">Google bod Fermin J. Serna released a <a href="https://github.com/fjserna/CVE-2015-7547" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Proof-of-Concept</a> (POC) exploit code on Tuesday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With this POC code, you can verify if you are affected by this critical issue, and verify any mitigations you may wish to enact.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Patch glibc Vulnerability</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google researchers, working with security researchers at Red Hat, have <a href="https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00416.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">released a patch</a> to fix the programming blunder.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, it is now up to the community behind the Linux OS and manufacturers, to roll out the patch to their affected software and devices as soon as possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For people running servers, fixing the issue will be a simple process of downloading and installing the patch update.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But for other users, patching the problem may <b>not be so easy</b>. The apps compiled with a vulnerable glibc version should be recompiled with an updated version – a process that will take time as users of affected apps have to wait for updates to become available from developers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, you can help prevent exploitation of the flaw, if you aren’t able to immediately patch your instance of glibc, by limiting all TCP DNS replies to 1024 bytes, and dropping UDP DNS packets larger than 512 bytes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more in-depth information on the glibc flaw, you can read Red Hat <a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:0175" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blog post</a>.</div></div><div class="feedflare">

It is useless.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The so-called 'Smart' Technology, which is designed to make your Home Safer, is actually opening your house doors for hackers. The latest in this field is <b>SimpliSafe Alarm</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SimpliSafe wireless home alarm systems – used by more than 300,000 customers in the United States – are <b>Hell Easy to Hack</b>, allowing an attacker to easily gain full access to the alarm and disable the security system, facilitating unauthorized intrusions and thefts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">…and the most interesting reality is: <b>You Can Not Patch it!</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- adsense --><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/07/smart-city-cyber-attack.html" target="_blank">Internet of Things</a> (IoT) is growing at a great pace, it continues to widen the attack surface at the same time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just last month, a similar hack was discovered in Ring – a Smart doorbell that connects to the user's home WiFi network – that allowed researchers to <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2016/01/doorbell-hacking-wifi-pasword.html" target="_blank">hack WiFi password</a> of the home user.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">How to Hack SimpliSafe Alarms?</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the senior security consultant at IOActive <i>Andrew Zonenberg</i>, who <a href="http://blog.ioactive.com/2016/02/remotely-disabling-wireless-burglar.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">discovered</a> this weakness, anyone with basic hardware and software, between $50 and $250, can harvest alarm's PIN and turn alarm OFF at a distance of up to 200 yards (30 meters) away.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since <a href="http://simplisafe.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SimpliSafe</a> Alarm uses unencrypted communications over the air, thief loitering near a home with some radio equipment could sniff the unencrypted PIN messages transferred from a keypad to the alarm control box when the house owner deactivates the alarm.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The attacker then records the PIN code on the microcontroller board's memory (RAM) and later replay this PIN code to disable the compromised alarm and carry out burglaries when the owners are out of their homes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, the attacker could also send spoofed sensor readings, like the back door closed, in an attempt to fool alarm into thinking no break-in is happening.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- linkads --><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Video Demonstration of the Hack</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can watch the video demonstration that shows the hack in work:</div><div class="video-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EebXrSPk0lY" width="560"></iframe><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">"Unfortunately, there's no easy workaround for the issue since the keypad happily sends unencrypted PINs out to anyone listening," Zonenberg explains. </blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Here's Why Your Smart Alarms are Unpatchable</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides using the unencrypted channel, SimpliSafe also installs a one-time programmable chip in its wireless home alarm, leaving <i>no option for an over-the-air update</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">"Normally, the vendor would fix the vulnerability in a new firmware version by adding cryptography to the protocol," Zonenberg adds. But, "this isn't an option for the affected SimpliSafe products because the microcontrollers in currently shipped hardware are one-time programmable."</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This means there is no patch coming to your SimpliSafe Alarm, leaving you as well as over 300,000 homeowners without a solution other than to stop using SimpliSafe alarms and buy another wireless alarm systems.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Zonenberg said he has already contacted Boston-based smart alarm provider several times since September 2015, but the manufacturer has not yet responded to this issue. So, he finally <a href="http://www.ioactive.com/labs/advisories.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reported</a> the issue to US-CERT. </div></div><div class="feedflare">

This is what the FBI is demanding from Apple to create a special version of iOS that increases the brute force attempts and ignores the data erasure setting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">iPhones intentionally encrypt its device's data in such a way that <u><b>one attempt takes about 80 milliseconds</b></u>, according to <a href="media/a3db3eab.iOS_Security_Guide.pdf" data-original-source="https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><!-- linkads --><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, if your iPhone is using a 6-digit passcode and there are 1 Million possible combinations as a whole, it would take maximum time of 22 hours or on average 11 hours to successfully unlock iPhone.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, if you are using a longer passcode such as a random 11-digit passcode, it will take up to 253 years, and on average<b> 127 years to unlock iPhone</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Doing so will make the FBI or any other agency unable to unlock your iPhone; not unless they have hundreds of years to spare.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To set a strong passcode, click '<b>Passcode options</b>,' select '<b>Custom numeric code</b>,' and then enter your new but random passcode.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Things to Avoid While Setting a Passcode</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>1. Do Not Use a Predictable Passcode</u>:&nbsp;Avoid choosing a predictable string such as your birth dates, phone numbers, or social security numbers, as these are first priorities of attackers to try.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>2. Do Not Use iCloud Backups</u>: Avoid using an iCloud backup because doing so will enable the attacker to get a copy of all your iPhone’s data from Apple’s server, where your passcode no longer protects it. This will eliminate the need to guess your passcode.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>3. Do Not Use Your Fingerprint</u>:&nbsp;We have seen <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/opm-hack-fingerprint.html" target="_blank">data breaches that had exposed fingerprints</a>&nbsp;online and also, it is easy to <a href="http://thehackernews.com/2013/09/finally-iphones-fingerprint-scanner.html" target="_blank">bypass Apple Touch ID Fingerprint scanner</a>. Even fingerprints can be collected from a suspect's corpse. So, using fingerprint security feature could also end up unlocking your iPhone in less time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, by choosing a strong passcode, the FBI or any other agency will not be able to unlock your encrypted iPhone, even if they install a vulnerable version of iOS on it.<br /><br /><b>Warning: </b>You need to remember your passcode, whatever you set, because no one except you would be able to unlock your iPhone. Once you forgot your passcode, there is nothing you can do to get your important data and even access to your iPhone back.</div></div><div class="feedflare">

Imagine the world where you do not have to make any efforts to learn new skills or knowledge.
