The internet iceberg Believe it or not, the majority of the World Wide Web exists beyond the reach of Google’s search bar. Familiar websites you know and love (like Facebook, Youtube, Wikipedia, and The Beacon) make up  less than 1%  of the entire internet. Everything else is part of the Deep Web—pages, domains and files that can’t be accessed by standard search engines. Before we delve any deeper, let’s take a look at how the surface web actually works. Crawl. Index. Serve. Repeat. Search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo aim to connect their users with relevant webpages. Their software  crawls billions of pages , traversing the web with the help of  sitemaps  and  hyperlinks . After getting a feel for the structure of each site, the engines index (organize) every page based on the content it contains. Finally, they display the indexed sites that best match your search terms. The pages beyond There’s just one caveat: search engines ...

It also said that Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued by the end of the month. If you are using any Cyanogen-powered devices such as Yu Yureka, OnePlus One or ZUK Z1, you will not be getting future updates. You can move to CyanogenMod  or any other ROM if you want latest updates.

Critical Facebook security flaw allows hackers to log into multiple Facebook accounts How to hack Facebook is the most popular search term on Google but a few go past learning to the actual hacking. However, one California-based hacker tried something similar. During his researcher he discovered a big security hole in Facebook’s password reset mechanism which allowed him to hack into anyone’s Facebook profile. California based  Gurkirat Singh   discovered a way to gain access to anyone’s Facebook profile using a security flaw in the social networking giant’s password reset mechanism . The social networking giant uses an algorithm that generates a random 6-digit passcode ‒ that’s 10⁶ = 1,000,000 possible combinations. “ That could possibly mean that if 1 million people request a password within a short amount of time such that no one uses their code to reset the password, then 1,000,0001 person to request a code will get a passcode that someone from the...

  Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been targeted by hackers who were yesterday able to briefly gain control of several of his social media accounts, some of which were defaced. His Facebook account was not among the compromised profiles, although his Pinterest, Twitter and LinkedIn were, according to Engadget , which was able to screenshot some of the hackers’ messages before they were removed. A post on Zuckerberg’s Pinterest page credited the hack to a group called OurMine Team. An associated Twitter account the hackers were pointing to has since been suspended. It appears the hackers also tried to target Zuckerberg’s Instagram account — the only social service in the hack that is owned by Zuckerberg — but TechCrunch understands Instagram’s security systems prevented that account from being accessed. Last month a massive dump of hacked LinkedIn email and password data cropped up online, thought to date back t...
