Jack Dorsey’s Twitter Account Hijacked by Prolific OurMine
Hackers
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s own Twitter account was briefly
hijacked early this morning, topping off a recent string of similar attacks. The hack appears to have been the work of
OurMine, the same group that previously compromised social media accounts
belonging to Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg, former Twitter CEO Dick
Costolo, and Google CEO Sundar
Pichai.
Who does it best and how do they do it? I doubt it is volume only.
US claims progress fighting ISIS on Twitter
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria's (ISIS) Twitter
traffic has dropped 45 percent in the past two years, the Obama administration told The Associated
Press.
… The U.S. and its
allies have countered messages from ISIS on social media with its own messages
that say the terrorist group "slaughters childhood," "kills
innocence" and "lashes purity."
Memes and images depicting the group's treatment of women
and children are presented in Arabic and distributed with Muslim governments,
religious leaders and schools.
… "Anti-ISIL
audiences are increasingly vocal on social media. This only weakens ISIL's ability to recruit, a
key aim of our messaging efforts."
Data from the AP shows anti-ISIS messages now overpower
pro-ISIS content 6-1.
For my students too?
In January, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the company
would open its first iOS app development center in Europe. Now more details have been announced, with the
company announcing that it will open the first iOS Developer Academy in cooperation with the
University of Naples Federico II campus in San Giovanni a Teduccio,
Italy.
… Students will
spend their first semester enhancing and improving their iOS software
development skills, while the second semester will focus on startup creation
and app design. During the second
semester, students will team together to create apps for possible release on
the App Store.
To apply or learn more about the academy, students can visit
the University of Naples website where they'll need to take an online test
available in either English or Italian. Successful
candidates will then move to interviews. The university is also accepting applications
for teachers for the academy.
