Manuel Vonau

You've been able to send money via Google Pay for a while now in the US and India, but so far, you could only protect your transactions with a PIN.

New Windows 10 Insider build brings Link to Windows and screen mirroring to more Galaxy devices

David Oh

Windows Insider is an open software testing program run by Microsoft offering pre-release builds of Windows 10 with new features (and bugs). Testers get to be on the bleeding edge, and Microsoft gets bug reports. It's a win-win situation for the most part and quite similar to beta programs run by Google and Samsung. A new build came out this week— version 18995 — and it brings to the table multiple Android-related goodies for Samsung owners. Insiders now have the Link to Windows feature on more devices, a screen mirroring feature called Phone screen, and a new paint job for the Your Phone desktop app.

Cryptographic key used to sign one of Facebook's Android apps compromised

Ryne Hager

The security of Android app updates hinges on the secrecy of a given app's signing key.

As a result, developers usually guard signing keys quite closely, but someone at Facebook seriously messed up. A key used by the company to digitally sign its Free Basics by Facebook app has been compromised, and third-party apps reusing the key have been spotted online.

After APK Mirror and Android Police owner Artem Russakovskii discovered the issue and reported it to Facebook, the original app listing was pulled from the Play Store and replaced with a new app using a new signing key.
