Recently a hacker posted a list of 5,000 websites online which were vulnerable to attack. How did he/she identify these websites?

How to Hack Someone's Cell Phone to Steal Their Pictures

By AS
Do you ever wonder how all these celebrities continue to have their private photos spread all over the internet? While celebrities' phones and computers are forever vulnerable to attacks, the common folk must also be wary. No matter how careful you think you were went you sent those "candid" photos to your ex, with a little effort and access to public information, your pictures can be snagged, too. Here's how. Cloud Storage Apple's iCloud service provides a hassle free way to store and transfer photos and other media across multiple devices. While the commercial exemplifies the G-rated community of iPhone users, there are a bunch of non-soccer moms that use their iPhones in a more..."free spirited" mindset.

How to Hack Samsung Phone Screen Lock

By AS
I have discovered  another  security flaw in Samsung Android phones. It is possible to completely disable the lock screen and get access to any app - even when the phone is "securely" locked with a pattern, PIN, password, or face detection. Unlike another recently released flaw, this doesn't rely quite so heavily on ultra-precise timing. Video . Of course, if you are unable to download a screen unlocker, this security vulnerability still allows you to  dial any phone number and run any app ! HOWTO From the lock screen, hit the emergency call button. Dial a non-existent emergency services number - e.g. 0. Press the green dial icon. Dismiss the error message. Press the phone's back button. The app's screen will be briefly displayed. This is just about long enough to interact with the app. Using this, you can run and interact with any app / widget / settings menu. You can also use this to launch the dialler. From there, you can dial any phone...
