Tech 2# Google is recording whatever you say - here's how you can listen to it and stop it The good news is that the records come with an easy way of deleting all of the information that it collects. Google is recording everything you say in its voice search. As a user, you can browse through every single of these records and listen to it as well. How often people use Google's voice search is a matter of choice but it is mostly used when people don't feel like picking up the phone and still be able to access its basic functions or perhaps sometimes just for the sake of showing off.

However, from an individual's point of view, it is indeed not appropriate to know that Google is recording everything you have ever said using that feature and that too for years...

Tech 15# Hackers Attacking Power Grids in U.S. and Europe.. A hacking campaign is targeting the energy sector in Europe and the US with the potential of sabotaging national power grids, a cybersecurity firm has warned. The group, dubbed "Dragonfly" by researchers at Symantec, has been in operation since at least 2011 but went dark in 2014 after it was first exposed, secretly placing backdoors in the industrial control systems of power plants across the US and Europe. Now, Symantec reports, the group has resumed operations, apparently working since late 2015 to investigate and penetrate energy facilities in at least three countries: the US, Turkey and Switzerland. "The Dragonfly group appears to be interested in both learning how energy facilities operate and also gaining access to operational systems themselves, to the extent that the group now potentially has the ability to sabotage or gain control of these systems should it decide to do so," the cyb...
