Anonymous hacks FEMA

By -
A group of Anonymous hacker has said to hack into a server used by Federal Emergency Management. According to them, the data secured through this breach is highly prolific and could beat the recent documents leaked by Snowden on PRISM project.
In one of the documents published online the group unleashed the type of data they have gotten hold of. Most of it was email address and passwords of users which seem to government employees because most of the email addresses were hosted to .gov or .mil.
The Anonymous group also disclosed the reasons behind this hack, according to them, they wanted disclose them as force especially in relation to crackdown attempts made against the hackers these days.Furthermore, they wanted government’s attention in regard to their intervention with the private sector for gathering sensitive information.
One of Anonymous group’s member said:
  • Anonymous does not wave the white flag. Not while we are faced with a daily stream of abominable revelations from Edward Snowden and others, not while the battle for the very soul, the very original purpose, of the internet escalates in severity daily,” read a statement by a representative of Anonymous and obtained by GlobalPost.
However, the main reason behind this attack was to warn the government intelligence agencies regarding their act. The Anonymous member also put light to ties between government agencies and cyber crimes investigating firms. One clear example he gave was Obsidian analysis which is contracted by FEMA for investigating prime cyber attacks in the country.
Obsidian analysis also created a mock news on Anonymous hacktivists which was broadcasted through CNN and a senior reporter was involved in reading out. The news was related to imaginary hacktivists group Void- the news said the group has laid out an attack which could be really disastrous in terms of both government and private sector.
Anonymous group is not really all these acts and is really looking to up their anti against the U.S. government agencies. Given that, we can expect more attacks from Anonymous group in future.

Autonomous mobile additive manufacturing robot runs circles around traditional 3D printers

3D printing is revolutionizing the way objects are created, from plastic toys to ceramic dental crowns. But the seemingly boundless possibilities of 3D printing technology have one major limitation—the printers themselves, which are large, bulky, and stationary. Robert Flitsch didn’t like being constrained by the boxy shape of the 3D printer he used while he was a student at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. So this mechanical engineering concentrator developed a wheeled additive manufacturing machine that can literally run (or drive) circles around a traditional 3D printer. He recently launched a startup named Addibots (a  portmanteau  of additive manufacturing and robots), to develop and market his mobile 3D printing robots. “By making the additive manufacturing components completely mobile, you break free of all the workspace limitations of 3D printing,” Flitsch said. “But Addibots also greatly opens the field to many new application space

The power of Bluetooth 4.0

Bluetooth, once trumpeted as the ultimate convenience, quickly proved a headache with plenty of pairing problems and inexplicable connection snafus. Bluetooth 4.0, the newest version of the technology, is about to change all that. The bad Bluetooth rep I personally use Bluetooth daily, and love it. My trusty   LG BHS-700s   works like a charm. For others, however, living with this technology can be frustrating. Often users are asked to enter annoying passwords before linking devices, and sudden reception drops or other software glitches make Bluetooth feel more painful than fun. Honestly I believe the bad old days of Bluetooth are behind us, especially with Bluetooth 4.0, AKA   Bluetooth Smart Ready , on the edge of mass adoption. Already available in the   Motorola Droid Razr   and   Droid Razr Maxx   smartphones plus Apple's   iPhone 4S , Bluetooth 4.0 is expected to hit more handsets and all manner of accessories this year. High-end handsets such as the Motorola Droid Razr
