Three ways to spot a liar

"In today's business world, there is no shortage of lies. People tell them all the time -- sometimes to seek a payoff or avoid responsibility. But these untruths can be hard to detect, especially in complex situations.Look out for these three signs that you're being lied to:1. Discomfort. People who lie often demonstrate visible anxiety. This may be because they're afraid of getting caught or they feel guilty. Be on the look-out for a fake smile, frozen body language, or lack of eye contact.2. Evasiveness. Someone who withholds information or keeps the conversation vague may not be telling the truth.3. Manipulation. When you ask a question, people lying may answer with more detail than necessary. They may also use overly explicit language for emphasis. Watch out for this kind of manipulation."

Nokia's Developer Website Hacked, User Data Compromised

Hackers have accessed user details from Nokia’s online forum for software developers, prompting the mobile phone giant to temporarily shut down the “Community” section of its main developers’ site. Nokia also admitted that the number of users affected was larger than thought.

Nokia added that no credit card details were accessed, although about 7% of the compromised records included data for other web accounts like Skype.The hackers exploited a vulnerability in Nokia’s bulletin board software using an SQL Injection attack. There has been a surge of cyber attacks on companies this year using SQL Injection, a relatively straightforward method that involves inputting programming code, which a server or site cannot handle. Supporters of the subversive online identity Anonymous are known to have used the method, as did a splinter group of hackers this summer called LulzSec.According to The Hacker News, the attackers left a deface page mentioning “AntiSec.” LulzSec revived the so-called AntiSec or AntiSecurity movement earlier this summer calling on web activists and cyber insurgents to attack governments and corporations to expose corruption and protect individual privacy.
Deface page reportedly uploaded to Nokia's website.A mirror for the deface page shows the statement: “LOL, Worlds number 1 mobile company but not spending a dime for a server security! FFS patch your security holes otherwise you will be just another antisec victim. No Dumping, No Leaking!!”The attacker apparently took credit for the deface, adding at the top of the page: “Owned by pr0tect0r AKA mrNRG.” According to The Hacker News, pr0tect0r is from India; one week prior they took credit for hacking into the Pakistani web forum Defence.pk on Independence Day, which is celebrated in India on Aug. 15.This meanwhile represents another hurdle for software developers who work with Nokia. In recent months they faced the prospect of a forced change in focus, after Nokia said it would stop using the Symbian operating system on forthcoming smartphones in favor of Windows Phone.

Desktops 400 times dirtier than toilet seats

Do you often eat at your home/office desk? You may not want to hear this, but a new study has found that an average desktop has 100 times more bacteria than a kitchen table and 400 times more than the average toilet seat.The research also found that a whopping 83 percent of Americans typically eat in their office or cubicle in an effort to save time and money. According to a new survey by the American Dietetic Association and ConAgra Foods' Home Food Safety program, a majority of Americans continue to eat lunch (62 percent) and snack throughout the day (50 percent) at their desks, while 27 percent typically find breakfast the first thing on their desktop to-do list. Late nights at the office even leave a small percentage (4 percent) dining at their desktop for dinner."For many people, multitasking through lunch is part of the average workday," said registered dietician and ADA Spokesperson Toby Smithson. "While shorter lunch hours may result in getting more accomplished, they could also be causing workers to log additional sick days, as desktops hide bacteria that can lead to food borne illness," she said.In order to reduce the risk of food borne illness, Smithson recommends washing your hands before and after handling food with soap and warm water, and keeping your desk stocked with moist towelettes or hand sanitizer for those times you can't get to the sink. "A clean desktop and hands are your best defense to avoid food borne illnesses at the office," she says.According to the Home Food Safety survey, only 36 percent of respondents clean their work areas-desktop, keyboard, mouse-weekly and 64 percent do so only once a month or less. "Treat your desktop like you would your kitchen table and counters at home," says Smithson. "Clean all surfaces, whether at home or work, before you prepare or eat food on them," she added. (ANI)
