Apple closes the door of the iPhone to governments




Disable the back door of your devices to obtain information




           Apple will shield your iPhone thanks to an upcoming update that will end with a small door that allowed you to extract data from your smartphones, even if they were blocked. A technique that consists of the intrusion through the port of the mobile to load the data externally.

               This "back door" allowed governments like the United States to access, for example, the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone, which Apple refused to unblock. According to Reuters, the system disabled the error limit when entering the device key, allowing indefinite attempts.

             Through the update, Apple will interrupt device data one hour after the phone is locked if an incorrect password is used, which will prevent data extraction through the back door. These changes are being implemented in the betas of iOS 11.4.1 and iOS 12.

The Cupertino company has told Reuters that through this iOS update it aims to strengthen the security of its products to help users protect themselves from data theft.

          The update is given as an impact to what happened in the case of the San Bernardino iPhone. After the massive shooting that took place in the US city in December 2015, the FBI asked Apple for help to unlock the device of the terrorist Syed Farook, which the company refused alleging to protect the privacy of its users.

After trying to convince Apple to design a security back door in their systems, the FBI used the Lightning port to extract data by means of a tool hired from an Israeli group.

Connectivity and sustainability, keys to the transport of the future The Movin'On congress confirms its status as a benchmark in the field of mobility in its second edition          The technological revolution is transforming the world at lightning speed. Scenarios that seemed typical of science fiction are now a reality. It happens in all areas, also in transport, subject to a deep mutation not only in the models but in what concerns its very conception.

Artificial intelligence is able to pre-empt medical diagnoses

Artificial intelligence is able to pre-empt medical diagnoses The Alphabet project can predict when a patient will get worse Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and the US Department of Veterans work hand-in-hand to take the technology to the patients' rooms to monitor and monitor possible changes in the health status of the elderly. However, this union is not about electronic devices to monitor the heartbeat or to control blood pressure or tension, but both companies work on the deployment of DeepMind, the artificial intelligence of Alphabet. According to several medical studies, one out of ten deaths in hospitals occurs after obviating any change in the patient's health status. The Alphabet project and the US administration will analyze patterns of 700,000 anonymous medical records to see if Artificial Intelligence from DeepMind can identify which patients will get worse during admission to the hospital and find out their future doctor DeepMind and its engineers say that ...
