Europe is getting fast and reliable in-flight Wi-Fi, you just have to wait till 2017

In the U.S., browsing Facebook and sending emails during a flight isn’t that big of a deal anymore, but in-flight Wi-Fi in Europe is harder to get.

That might change soon if a new partnership between UK satellite company Inmarsat and operator Deutsche Telekom gains traction. Today the two companies launched the European Aviation Network, a system that combines LTE and satellite networks to give travelers high-speed internet in flights across the continent.

This network won’t be anything surprising to people in the US. Multi-beam satellites will use Inmarsat’s 30MHz (2 x 15MHz) S-band spectrum to cover the 28 EU member states. And Deutsche Telekom will use 300 specially-modified LTE sites ranging up to 80 kilometers (normal masts offer around 10 kilometers) and can accommodate the speed of a plane.

In the announcement, Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, said that they want to be the first to use the combination of LTE and satellite technology to bring connectivity to European airspace.

Andy Sukawaty, Chairman of Inmarsat, added that the partnership will make each group stronger and allow them to “deliver the fastest, best and most consistent in-flight broadband experience that meets the needs of airlines in this region.”

When can people in Europe expect to update Instagram mid-flight? Lufthansa is the first European airline to have a trial with the European Aviation Network -- and that will start in 2017. Before then Lufthansa’s aircrafts will be updated with the equipment needed to connect to both the S-band satellite and the high-speed broadband ground network. Inmarsat says that the systems will switch automatically between the two to make sure passengers have consistent and fast Wi-Fi.

Samsung reportedly set to offer Apple-style smartphone leasing program

Samsung is reportedly set to follow Apple’s lead by offering a leasing program in the US for its flagship Galaxy smartphones. An industry executive said that the program will launch in the next several months, although it could arrive even sooner, according to Forbes.
Apple announced its iPhone Upgrade Program at the same recent event where it revealed the iPhone 6S and the iPad Pro. For a monthly fee, the program allows anyone who buys a new iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus to avoid a carrier contract and upgrade to a new iPhone every year. The program starts at $32 a month and is said to be better value for money than the plans offered by traditional carriers. Apple has referred to its scheme as “the best way to own [an] iPhone.”

It gives you an easier way to get a new [unlocked] iPhone every year, and the security and protection of AppleCare+. You’re even free to choose the carrier and rate plan that work for you. Because the iPhone upgrade program isn’t tied to a single carrier, you don’t need a multiyear service contract. If you don’t have any carrier commitments, you’re free to select a new carrier or stick with the one you have.

An increasing number of carriers are moving away from traditional 2-year phone contracts and are making customers buy the devices outright using no-interest payment plans. Both T-mobile and Sprint now offer their own smartphone leasing deals.
It’s not yet clear what pricing plan Samsung will use in its leasing program or what devices it will cover, although it’s likely that the company will include the Galaxy S6 range and the Note 5 in the scheme. There’s also the possibility that other devices from Samsung’s range, such as wearables like smartwatches, could be made available for lease.
Samsung has yet to comment on the report.

How To Reveal Hidden Password Using Asterisk Key

It’s a good practice not to use the same password on everything. This is because if your ONLY password falls in the wrong hands, the next thing you know is you won’t be able to access anything at all. Imagine you loose access to your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Internet Bank account and etc. a day! You’ll go crazy loosing all your contacts and you know someone is having a great time reading all your personal emails.

For me, I use different password for software's/websites and most of it is saved on my laptop for easy access. Problem is, if you use too many different passwords, sometimes we tend to forget the password that we set for the software or website. If the password is saved, you can easily use a tool to show the password hidden under the asterisk *******

I am sure many of you remember “SnadBoy’s Revelation” but unfortunately it doesn’t support showing passwords hidden under asterisks in web pages. So I won’t be recommending this tool because I know a better one.

Asterisk Key shows passwords hidden under asterisks. It is able to instantly uncover hidden passwords on password dialog boxes and web pages. The setup is less than 500KB and it works perfectly.

Reveal hidden password in Google Talk (Software)



 

Reveal hidden password in Internet Explorer (Web Page)
 

Both Google Talk and Internet Explorer is active. I then launch Asterisk Key and click the “Recover” button. Within a second, Asterisk Key shows the passwords hidden under asterisks

. 

NOTE, please use this tool to recover your OWN password. If you get caught in using this tool to steal people’s password, 9JACYBERZONE isn't responsible for it... .So, treat this tool as a useful recovery too instead of hacking tool.

Note: Asterisk Key doesn’t reveal password hidden under asterisk in Firefox browser.

Apple removes malware-infected apps that sneaked onto the App Store

Apple has removed a collection of malicious apps from the App Store after a strain of malware, known as XcodeGhost, made its way past the company's usually-strict security and app review protocols.

The attackers behind the malware created a modified, counterfeit version of Apple's Xcode developer software and posted it online for developers to download and use. Some developers of legitimate apps mistakenly downloaded the malware-infected version of Xcode, which secretly embedded malicious code into the apps they were developing.

According to security firm Palo Alto Networks, XcodeGhost was able to prompt fake alert dialogs for phishing purposes; read and write data from the clipboard, which could be dangerous if the clipboard included a password copied from a password manager; and hijack the opening of URLs.
XcodeGhost is particularly dangerous because it managed to completely bypass Apple's iOS app review process. Some apps published to the App Store that included malicious code were popular Chinese messaging app WeChat, Angry Birds 2, and business card scanner CamCard, with over 300 apps suspected of being infected.

Apple has since removed all of the apps affected by XcodeGhost, and are working with their developers to ensure all future apps are created using a legitimate version of Xcode, which is already available for free from Apple's website.
