New Web Service Can Notify Companies When Their Employees Get Phished
Starting today, companies across the world have a new free web service at their disposal that will automatically send out email notifications if one of their employees gets phished. From a report: The service is named “I Got Phished” and is managed by Abuse.ch, a non-profit organization known for its malware and cyber-crime tracking operations. Just like all other Abuse.ch services, I Got Phished will be free to use. Any company can sign-up via the I Got Phished website. Signing up only takes a few seconds. Subscribing for email notifications is done on a domain name basis, and companies don’t have to expose a list of their employee email addresses to a third-party service. Once a company’s security staff has subscribed to the service, I Got Phished will check its internal database for email addresses for the company’s email domain. This database contains logs from phishing operations, with emails for phished victims.

Avast Closes Jumpshot Over Data Privacy Backlash
Antivirus software giant Avast has announced that it will wind down one of its subsidiary businesses just days after leaked documents revealed the extent to which the Czech company was selling users’ browsing data to third parties. From a report: On Monday, Vice and PCMag published details about how Avast had been collating browsing data covering web properties such as Google Maps and Search, LinkedIn, and YouTube and then repackaging it for sale under a subsidiary called Jumpshot, which has claimed clients such as Google, Microsoft, Yelp, Pepsi, Home Depot, and Conde Nast. Although the data was not thought to contain any personally identifiable information, it is often possible to “de-anonymize” data by combining and aligning it with different data sets to unearth shared patterns. Jumpshot was founded back in 2010 but officially launched from a Kickstarter-funded project in 2012. In its original guise, Jumpshot offered a PC-based software that promised to rid machines of viruses, spyware, and the like, and the company was eventually bought by Avast.

Trippy: The 'Black Hole' Technique Of Acrylic Fluid Art Painting
This is a trippy video detailing the ‘black hole’ technique of pouring layered acrylic paint on a black canvas and continuously tilting the canvas to create a cool design. That’s fun. In process it kinda looks like a painting of an eyeball following me around the room at a party. Stooooop I’m just looking for a place to fart inconspicuously!
Keep going for the video, pretty cool finished result at 4:05.
