MailGuard has intercepted phishing emails designed to harvest personal details from LinkedIn members. Fraudulent emails claiming to be from LinkedIn, have been detected by cybersecurity company, MailGuard, and are likely for malicious intent, such as committing identity theft. The email poses as an auto-generated notification informing recipients of a new message from another LinkedIn member. The body of the email is designed to be very similar to a legitimate alert from LinkedIn and contains multiple branding elements belonging to the social media company, including its logo, along with various support links in a footer. The email includes a View Message button. The email originates from a compromised email account belonging to a public university based overseas. Unsuspecting recipients who click the View Message link are sent to a login page asking for their LinkedIn account credentials. The page is designed to look like a legitimate LinkedIn login page, but is actually a phishing page hosted on a SaaS website development platform. If users sign in to the false LinkedIn page, the attacker harvests their credentials for later use, and users are redirected back to the login page. “Although we are stopping this email scam from reaching Australian businesses, we encourage all…

A SERIES of sectarian, hate advertisements were approved by Facebook shortly before rioting in Northern Ireland, it has been claimed.The ads, including one showing a burnt out car that read 'Voting hasn't worked, take to the streets', were withdrawn before they ever appeared on the social media giant's platform.The issue has been highlighted by Global Witness, an international human rights organisation, which is calling for legislation to regulate the 'Big Tech' companies.The group said it had submitted the ads, containing "sectarian slurs that potentially encouraged violent protests", for approval to Facebook.A Global Witness spokesperson added: "None of the content was actually made public as we withdrew it once we had confirmed that it had been approved by the social media giant. We specified that these ads would be targeted at people that Facebook has profiled as having an interest in either Catholicism or Protestantism."In addition, we were able to demonstrate how this content could be narrowly targeted by postcode, specifically at those living either side of the main peace wall in west Belfast,  » Read More

However, the feature isn't available to everyone yet. Photo credit: Getty Images Posting photos and videos on Instagram has nearly always been a mobile-only experience - but that's changing with a new feature being tested. Previously users wanting to upload had to modify the "user agent" to fool the social media app into thinking they were on a mobile device or other third-party tools. This was despite other functionality, like sending direct messages, viewing feeds and watching Stories all being available on non-mobile platforms. However, multiple users have posted on Twitter they're seeing the functionality when accessing Instagram on desktop. It's now been confirmed by Facebook, the owner of Instagram. "We know that many people access Instagram from their computer," Facebook spokesperson Christine Pai told Bloomberg in a statement. "To improve that experience, we're now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browser." According to screenshots posted by social media consultant Matt Navarra, that also includes the ability to choose different ratios than those available on the mobile app, as well as the familiar filters and basic image editing tools. The feature isn't available to everyone yet but when the functionality is available a…

Hellobeautiful Featured Video CLOSE Source: CHRIS DELMAS / Getty If there’s one thing Mo’Nique is not shy about, it’s about expressing her opinion publically, and lately, she’s been the topic of conversation after criticizing young Black women for wearing their bonnets in public, calling on the younger generation to “respect themselves” in public. While Mo’Nique still doesn’t agree with the notion of wearing a bonnet outside of the house, today she’s taken the conversation one step further and has called out public wear in general after seeing a picture of a woman in the airport wearing a look that she did not approve of. Taking to Instagram to make her point, the comedienne posted a picture of a Black woman seemingly waiting for her luggage at the airport. The woman was wearing a plastic bag over her head (like a bonnet), short shorts, and a tank top, a big no-no in Mo’s book. “Hey BEAUTIFUL QUEENS,” Mo’Nique captioned the photo of the woman. “NO SHAMING. If this is the BEST YOU CAN DO NO JUDGMENT DO YOU. This was sent to me as an example of what we’re talking about that goes on in our community. However if this is…

Clubhouse single-handedly put live audio chats on the map, but can it survive an industry with cut-throat competition and platform hurdles? 2020 witnessed the rise of a new social media phenomenon, Clubhouse. The startup, which attained the coveted unicorn status only in January of this year, is all about audio interactions. Now, voice-based communication is nothing new for social media platforms, but Clubhouse almost single-handedly popularized the idea of live audio conversations. More simply, voice chatrooms. Clubhouse has remained notoriously closed when it comes to ease of access, but the buzz was loud enough to catalyze the birth of a new battleground for social media dominance that witnessed everyone from Facebook and Twitter to even LinkedIn aping the formula. Clubhouse created a whole new market, and the competition turned white-hot at lightspeed, but the premise is really simple — Clubhouse provides a platform where a bunch of people gather, one (or a few) of them talks while others listen. Unlike a regular fireside chat or in group voice calls, not all participants get to speak.  » Read More

When talking about toxic online content, Twitter trends often feature prominently. If the world is focussing on a controversial topic, there’s a good chance it will trend on Twitter. Trends can be international or local, so they should be as relevant as you want them to be. Still, there’s no built-in method to hide them, and they tend to reflect heated discussions. If you're wondering how to hide trends on Twitter, this article outlines three ways to do it. They specifically cater to the main Twitter website, rather than third-party clients like Tweetdeck. What are Twitter Trends? According to Twitter: Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now. Twitter now displays trends in a section titled "What’s happening", alongside other curated news items. Trends offer a good way of discovering breaking stories. But they can also be less useful: nonsensical at best, and downright unpleasant at worst. Trends might even be one way in which social media is making you sad. If you’ve ever found yourself going too deep down into the Twitter rabbit hole, you might want to…
