| New Samsung Galaxy Tab A rumored to be in development - Notebookcheck.net Posted: 15 Dec 2018 03:42 PM PST  It has been reported that Samsung is working on a new tablet, which could end up being the latest addition to the Galaxy A series. The SM-P205 slate is expected to feature 32 GB of storage and will come in either black or gray. The South Korean manufacturer only recently introduced the Galaxy Tab A 10.5-inch device and the flagship Galaxy Tab S4. by Daniel R Deakin, 2018/12/15 SamMobile has posted some surprising news that involves Samsung developing a new tablet, currently known as the SM-P205. As stated above, the company has only just unveiled some new slates: The Galaxy Tab S4 was launched in August and the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 was announced in the same month. With all hands on deck for the S10 series of flagship smartphones and the upcoming foldable handset, it seems unlikely there is any room left to work on a new entry-level tablet. But apparently, that is what is going on at Samsung. There are very few details currently available about this rumored device, but it is believed it will have 32 GB of internal storage as a base option and offer itself up in either black or gray. The SM-P205 will purportedly be shipped with firmware version P205DXU0ARL4, although the final OS is not yet known. It has been speculated this tablet will feature an LCD screen and sport thick bezels on its aluminum frame, so there will be no fancy Super AMOLED display for this entry-level device. It’s likely Samsung will reveal more about the rumored slate at the MWC show in February. Or it may even get shown off and quickly overshadowed at the launch event for the Galaxy S10 series, which is expected to take place on February 20. |
| Facebook Bug Exposes Users' Photos - MakeUseOf Posted: 15 Dec 2018 05:42 AM PST  Advertisement A Facebook bug has exposed the private photos of up to 6.8 million users. The bug means thousands of third-party apps had potential access to photos they didn’t have permission to view. The worst thing is the amount of time Facebook took to disclose the incident. Facebook’s Very Bad YearIt’s fair to say Facebook hasn’t had a good 2018. There was the Cambridge Analytica scandal Why Facebook's Privacy Scandal Might Be Good for Us All Why Facebook's Privacy Scandal Might Be Good for Us All Facebook's mask fell following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but it's not all bad news. Here's why it's a good thing this scandal made headlines worldwide. Read More everyone should be familiar with by now. And over a backdrop of people deleting Facebook, the social network has had ongoing issues maintaining people’s trust. The issues run deep, with Facebook battling the spread of fake news, advertising campaigns with the potential to influence elections, and a seemingly lax attitude to users’ data and privacy. And now we get the news that private photos were exposed to apps. Facebook Discloses New BugFacebook disclosed the incident in a Facebook for Developers Blog post. The social network explains that this bug affected “people who used Facebook Login and granted permission to third-party apps to access their photos”.
Users sometimes give apps permission to access photos they share on their timeline. However, this bug meant that for 12 days developers could also access other photos shared on Facebook, and even photos people uploaded but then decided not to post. The bug in question was live between September 13 and September 25, 2018. Facebook discovered and duly fixed the bug on the 25th. However, it has taken almost three months for Facebook to notify the developers affected and, by extension, the users affected. Facebook is “sorry this happened,” and is rolling out tools to help developers “determine which people using their app might be impacted by this bug.” Those people will then be notified, and directed to a Help Center link explaining the issue in more detail. Fingers Crossed for 2019This tops off an annus horribilis for Facebook, and we really hope 2019 brings better fortune. Not for Facebook’s sake, but for the sake of its users.

| Facebook Bug Exposed Millions Of Photos - Markets Insider Posted: 15 Dec 2018 08:54 PM PST (RTTNews) - Facebook Inc. (FB) said that a software bug exposed the photos of up to 6.8 million users, including pictures they had not posted. The company said its internal team discovered a photo API bug that may have affected people who used Facebook Login and granted permission to third-party apps to access their photos. It has fixed the issue but, because of this bug, some third-party apps may have had access to a broader set of photos than usual for 12 days between September 13 to September 25, 2018. Facebook said, "When someone gives permission for an app to access their photos on Facebook, we usually only grant the app access to photos people share on their timeline. In this case, the bug potentially gave developers access to other photos, such as those shared on Marketplace or Facebook Stories. The bug also impacted photos that people uploaded to Facebook but chose not to post. For example, if someone uploads a photo to Facebook but doesn't finish posting it - maybe because they've lost reception or walked into a meeting - we store a copy of that photo for three days so the person has it when they come back to the app to complete their post." Currently, Facebook believed this may have affected up to 6.8 million users and up to 1,500 apps built by 876 developers. The only apps affected by this bug were ones that Facebook approved to access the photos API and that individuals had authorized to access their photos. Facebook said, "We're sorry this happened. Early next week we will be rolling out tools for app developers that will allow them to determine which people using their app might be impacted by this bug. We will be working with those developers to delete the photos from impacted users." Facebook noted that it will also notify the people potentially impacted by this bug via an alert on Facebook. The company is also recommending people log into any apps with which they have shared their Facebook photos to check which photos they have access to. |
