Facebook claims hackers in Pakistan targeted Afghan users
03:10pm, Tuesday, 16'th Nov 2021 Business Recorder
Hackers from Pakistan used Facebook to target people in Afghanistan during the Taliban''s takeover of the country, claimed the company''s threat investigators said in an interview with Reuters .

Targets included people connected to the government in Kabul, it said. Facebook said it removed SideCopy from its platform in August. The social media company, which recently changed its name to Meta, said the group created fictitious personas of young women as "romantic lures" to build trust and trick targets into clicking phishing links or downloading malicious chat apps. It also compromised legitimate websites to manipulate people into giving up their Facebook credentials. Indian hackers behind attack on FBR website: Tarin "It''s always difficult for us to speculate as to the end goal of the threat actor," Facebook''s head of cyber espionage investigations, Mike Dvilyanski, said.

Major online platforms and email providers including Facebook, Twitter Inc, Alphabet Inc''s Google and Microsoft Corp''s LinkedIn have said they took steps to lock down Afghan users'' accounts during the Taliban''s swift takeover of the country this past summer.

Epic Games CEO Renews Attack on Apple and Calls for Single, Universal App Store
11:31am, Tuesday, 16'th Nov 2021 Mac Rumors
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has today renewed his attack on Apple and called for a single, universal app store that works across all platforms (via Bloomberg ). Last year, Epic''s popular game "Fortnite" became the subject of heated litigation with Apple and Google over the rate of commission on in-app purchases. After Epic broke App Store rules by implementing a direct payment option , the game was removed from the App Store and Epic''s developer account was terminated . A lengthy legal battle ensued, resulting in the verdict while that Apple''s anti-steering conduct is anti-competitive, Apple was correct on on all other counts. Epic Games paid Apple $6,000,000 in lost royalties but has appealed the verdict . In an interview at the Global Conference for Mobile Application Ecosystem Fairness in Seoul, South Korea, Sweeney said: What the world really needs now is a single store that works with all platforms. Right now software ownership is fragmented between the iOS App Store, the Android Google Play marketplace, different stores on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, and then Microsoft Store and the Mac App Store.
