From zero-emission cars fuelled by hydrogen to computer chips modelled on the human brain, this year’s 10 emerging technologies offer a vivid glimpse of the power of innovation to improve lives, transform industries and safeguard our planet. To compile this list, the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies, a panel of 18 experts, draws on the collective expertise of the Forum’s communities to identify the most important recent technological trends.

Windows is vulnerable to FREAK encryption flaw too

Computers running all supported releases of Microsoft Windows are vulnerable to FREAK, a decade-old encryption flaw that leaves device users vulnerable to having their electronic communications intercepted when visiting any of hundreds of thousands of websites.

The flaw was previously thought to be limited to Apple's Safari and Google's Android browsers. But Microsoft warned that the encryption protocols used in Windows were also vulnerable to the flaw. The FREAK flaw surfaced a few weeks ago when a group of researchers discovered they could force websites to use intentionally weakened encryption, which they were able to break within a few hours.

Mobile malware on Android pretends to be coupon code

A newly discovered mobile malware campaign cloaks itself as an Amazon voucher app before using a victim's contact list to spread to new targets. The campaign is touted as "one of the single largest messaging-initiated mobile malware outbreaks" recorded.

The malware sends messages to a victim's contacts laden with malicious links — which when opened, install malware on Android-based mobile devices. It masquerades as an application which offers Amazon discounts and vouchers. Since its original launch in the USA, the campaign has infected thousands of mobile devices in more than 30 countries around the world.

Here’s why you shouldn’t put your children photos online

As parents, we’re all incredibly proud of our children and excited about things that might seem insignificant to others. It feels natural to share that joy with others, and social media has made that process effortless.

It seems like most of the time people record events as a statement to themselves and others that this something important that they want to remember and share. But not everything needs to be put on record or post on social media. Some things are better off remembered in your mind than on your camera phone. Nowadays business is booming, because it’s much cheaper for companies to take stock photos from sites or social networks than from the professionals.

Apple & Android devices are vulnerable to FREAK attack

Tech firms are rushing to fix a disastrous security flaw, stemming from the US government’s requirement of lower encryption standards, that for over a decade left millions of users visiting 'secured' websites exposed to potential attacks.

Experts have discovered a massive flaw that allows attackers to decrypt HTTPS-protected traffic passing between millions of websites and users of vulnerable devices, including Android and Apple smartphones and tablets. Researchers found that some websites that use SSL or TLS protocols, including government ones, are vulnerable and could be tricked into setting up a connection through weak encryption keys.

A new adware breaks HTTPS connections

One more piece of malware adware has been thrust into the spotlight, one that also breaks HTTPS connections, but is arguably worse than Superfish, which was pre-installed on new Lenovo laptops manufactured at the tail end of 2014.

Experts reported that malvertising installs its own certificate and breaks SSL connections by creating a man-in-the-middle vulnerability that can be exploited by anyone to sniff traffic. Superfish makes Lenovo PCs vulnerable to malware and malicious attacks by pre-loading the adware. However, a new malware adware doesn’t contain the exact vulnerability as Superfish, it likely presents a bigger mess for users.
