Scammers are using fake iTunes invoices to solicit Apple users' bank details
SCAMMERS are trying to trick Apple iPhone owners into sending across bank details with an elaborate TomTom app con.

If you see this email in your inbox – delete it.
The email looks like an official invoice from Apple and lists a TomTom navigation app purchased from the iTunes store.
Apple users are told they face a £42.99 bill for the TomTom Western Europe app – after allegedly downloading it to their device.

But the fake invoice is just a clever plot to get users to click and fill-in the cancellation form featured at the bottom of the email.

Apple CEO Tim Cook announces the iPad Pro at an event in September
APPLE'S large-screen iPad Pro, keyboard smart case and Apple Pencil stylus go on sale Wednesday 11th November in the UK.

Apple announced its larger-screen tablet computer – the iPad Pro – back in September by CEO Tim Cook.
Mr Cook told the whooping crowds gathered in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco that the new 12.9inch tablet the "biggest news in iPad since the iPad."
The iPad Pro will have a 12.9inch screen with more than 5.6million pixels – the highest ever pixel count on an iOS device, and higher than some devices in Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display range.

Apple has packed a 2732 x 2048 resolution into the 12.9inch display, which works out as a Retina-worthy 264pixels-per-inch.
Powering the new iPad is the new 64-bit A9X chip, which Apple says is capable of rivalling most portable PCs.

Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, RIGHT, and the Facebook homepage, LEFT
FACEBOOK has two-days to stop storing data from internet users who don’t have their own Facebook account – or it could face a steep daily fine.

The US social network has been warned it has 48 hours to stop tracking data on people without a Facebook account, a Belgian court has ruled.
Facebook will be fined a staggering £180,000 each day it does not adhere to the ruling, the court said in an e-mail statement.
The Belgian court objected to the "cookie" technology used by Facebook to track a person's device up to two years after they have used it to access a Facebook page — whether or not they even have an account.

President of the Belgian commission, Willem Debeuckelaere labelled the practice "disrespectful" of consumers.
"The judge ruled that this is personal data, which Facebook can only use if the internet user expressly gives their consent, as Belgian privacy law dictates," the court added in a statement.

THIS simple tricks trains your new Nexus smartphone to recognise your fingerprint – even if you miss the sensor.

Google unveiled its impressive new Nexus smartphones last month.
Both new Google smartphones boast the latest version of the Android operating system, improved cameras and a fingerprint sensor – bringing biometric security to the Marshmallow handsets.
Huawei and LG – the manufacturers behind the new Nexus smartphones – have chosen to mount the fingerprint scanners on the back of the devices, beneath the rear camera module.

It's convenient when you are holding the new smartphones one-handed, but it can take a little getting used to.
Unfortunately it's not incredibly useful when you are using the smartphones on a flat surface, and the rear-mounted sensor can also be quite easy to overshoot – leaving you blindly fumbling to find the sensor to unlock your device.

Facebook is blocking any URLs from the rival social network
FACEBOOK has stopped users mentioning the name of another social network in conversations and posts across its website and mobile apps.

Facebook has stopped its users posting links to social network Tsu.co.
For those who haven't heard of it, Tsu.co is an exclusive invite-only social network that shares its advertising venue with its users.
Unfortunately it is becoming a huge source of spam links on Facebook.

As a result, the hugely popular social network has taken the drastic action of banning all mentions of Tsu.co across Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram.
Typing in Tsu.co anywhere on either of the three services results in an error message.
At the time of writing, Facebook-owned instant messenger WhatsApp appears to be unaffected by the URL ban.

Photo app Touchnote has fallen victim to a cyber attack

HACKERS have stolen personal information from users of a wildly popular mobile app in the latest in a string of cyber attacks.

Online company Touchnote – which makes the app of the same name – was targeted by criminals earlier this week.
Sensitive details stolen from customers include their names, dates of birth, email addresses and postal addresses, according to a spokesman.
But users' credit card and debit card numbers are not thought to be at risk, he added.

The app – which is pre-installed on millions of handsets – lets people turn a photo taken on a phone into a postcard.
About four million postcards are believed to have been sent via Touchnote since it was launched in 2008.
It is still available to download on the App Store for iPhone users and Google Play for Android users.

Lookout claims the new Android virus is so devastating, you will need a new smartphone
A TERRIFYING new Android virus has been discovered – and it’s so bad, it could leave you in need of a new smartphone.

There has been no shortage of Android malware attacks this year, but this might just be the worst yet.
Secretly attacking your Android phone, this latest bug embeds itself into popular apps and there is almost no way to fix it.
The devastating new malware was unearthed earlier this week by security firm, Lookout.
In fact, the malware discovered by the team is so difficult to remove from your smartphone, it is better to throw it away and get a new one.

According to Lookout, there are thousands of samples of the malware floating around on mobile app stores.
Dubbed Shedun, Shuanet and ShiftyBug, the Android malware all share the same deadly code and use similar tactics to infect the victim's smartphone.
Lookout has detected more than 20,000 samples of this type of trojan adware masquerading as legitimate applications.

Select HTC One smartphones will get Android Marshmallow before Christmas
HTC will be rolling out the latest version of Android – dubbed Marshmallow – to select HTC handsets this week.

Google has released its latest version of Android – leaving third-party manufacturers to race to adapt the open-source mobile operating system for their devices.
Samsung – which recently received a damning report from Google on the security of its devices – is believed to be hard at work on the TouchWiz version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
LG has already rolled out its version of Marshmallow to a select few customers and smartphone models.

Despite the iPhone lookalike HTC One A9 shipping with Marshmallow, HTC is now beginning to roll out the latest version of Android to its flagship HTC One M8 and HTC One M9.

The award-winning Samsung smartphone has 11 serious security flaws
GOOGLE has discovered a slew of serious issues and flaws in Samsung smartphones which could allow hackers to gain access to your personal data.

Google has exposed 11 serious flaws in Samsung's latest Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone.
The award-winning Samsung smartphone, which went on-sale earlier this year, was found to include a staggering 11 security flaws.
These flaws leave the device open to hackers, who could use the weaknesses to target data including personal email addresses.

Emails could be forwarded by the hackers to another account without the victim ever knowing about the data theft, Google has claimed.
The South Korean technology firm is believed to be hard at work on patches for the flaws.
Google's Project Zero notified Samsung of the problems with its Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone.
In a statement, the Google-funded team of security analysts said: "Over the course of a week, we found a total of 11 issues with a serious security impact.

A BENDGATE scandal is brewing around the Huawei-built Nexus 6P smartphone

Google announced its Nexus 6P smartphone alongside a refreshed Nexus 5, updated Chromecast and new Chromecast Audio dongle last month.
The Huawei-built handset replaces the hefty plastic shell of its predecessor with a sleek all-metal design and stylish, diamond-cut edges.
Weighing in at 159.4mm x 77.8mm x 7.3mm, the Nexus 6P has the same pocket-straining footprint as its predecessor.
But a controversial new YouTube video has raised some questions over the £449 device's durability.
In the new online video, Jerry Rig Everything puts the brand-new Nexus 6P through a series of increasingly strenuous tests to check its wear and tear and push the device to destruction.

The gadget-destroyer tests the strength of the Gorilla Glass 4 display, the aluminium back and the ability to withstand the dreaded bend test.
But the online video – which has been viewed some 650,000 times online – has been criticised for being unfair.

SOMEONE has already found a way to change the new Heart icon back to trusty old Stars on Twitter.

Twitter last night replaced its star-shaped favourite icon with a heart-shaped icon called like, the latest effort by the company to make its website more engaging.
The company – facing slowing user-growth – has joined Facebook and YouTube in featuring like buttons, which have been popular with millions of users.
According to the popular social service, some users found the star icon confusing and the US firm's internal tests have shown people find the new heart much more intuitive to use.

Here are the health conditions no man can afford to ignore once he gets past 40
WITH today marking the start of Movember – men’s health month – our writer highlights the top 10 areas to keep in check.

It turns out it’s not a myth that your average man takes better care of his car than his health. In fact, the National Pharmacy Association says men visit their GP about four times a year compared to six times for women. Here are the health conditions no man can afford to ignore once he gets past 40.

1) MENTAL HEALTH
In 2014, 12½ per cent of men in the UK were diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Therapist Rhona Clews (rhonaclews.co.uk) says, “It’s much more taboo for men to talk about their feelings than it is for women, especially among the older generation.
Traditional ideas of masculinity connect to holding feelings in and resolving situations on their own.” If your mental health is on shaky ground, talk to your GP, open up to friends and family or make an appointment with a therapist.

Focusing sound waves produce heat and can be used to burn away nerve cells
ULTRASOUND could take over from radiotherapy after a pioneering clinical trial showed it can prevent pain in cancer patients.

Using the same principle as a magnifying glass directing sunlight to burn a piece of paper, the ultrasound beam is focused on a specific point to create heat.
It can burn away the nerve cells close to tumours that cause pain and even destroy cancer tissue. The sound waves used are nearly 10,000 times more powerful than an ultrasound pregnancy scan.
Professor Nandita DeSouza, consultant radiologist at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, Surrey, said: "The trial has had very positive results and we have been able to reduce patients' pain significantly. The future for this treatment is exciting and it could one day replace radiotherapy."
