Happy Solstice and Online Hacking Concerns: A White Hat Hacker's Victory

It's Wednesday December 21st, and we're kicking off the week with some online hacking concerns that are sure to make you take a closer look at your security. Fortunately for us, this time around, ourmine, a white hat hacker group, has scored another coup by hacking into the Twitter account run by Netflix. However, it's worth noting that ourmine is a group of good guys who take pride in penetrating online defenses and gently needling their victims rather than using hacked accounts for nefarious purposes.

As we mentioned earlier, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai are among those who have fallen victim to this particular hacking attempt. Ourmine tweeted out their logo and a contact email address along with a short message about testing your security on the Netflix account before Netflix likely stepped in and changed up their password. However, ourmine added that no one is safe from hackers, which sadly seems to be true.

The Exodus Continues at Twitter

But while ourmine's hacking attempt has shed light on the importance of online security, another company that's been facing some major changes is Twitter. The impending departure of two more upper-level execs, Chief Technology Officer Adam Messenger and VP of Product Josh McFarland, is a sign that the company is going through some significant restructuring. Messenger will be taking some time off from his duties, while McFarland is leaving to join Venture Capital outfit Greylock Partners as an investor, according to Forbes.

Twitter's Founder and CEO Jack Dorsky recently announced that Keith Coleman, formerly of Yes Inc and Google, would be heading up the products division. However, Twitter has seen two rounds of layoffs in just two years, and a steadily sliding stock price despite being an icon of social media. It's no secret that Twitter is struggling to find its footing in the ever-changing world of online communication.

A New Hope for Robo-Call Victims

But amidst all the bad news about hacking attempts and company shakeups, there's some good news that we can all look forward to. AT&T has just launched an app called "Call Protect" that aims to block unwanted robocalls at the network level, so they never reach you in the first place. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices, which means that anyone who's tired of getting those annoying robocall messages can download it and say goodbye to them once and for all.

The plan behind Call Protect is part of a larger effort among telecoms known as the "robocall strike force," whose goal is to rid us of these time-wasting pests once and for all. And with AT&T's app leading the charge, we're one step closer to a world where unwanted calls are just a thing of the past. Of course, there's still a small chance that you might miss some legitimate calls from friends or family members who fall outside of your contact list. But with Call Protect on the job, those odds are certainly lower.

In Conclusion

So there you have it – a rundown of the latest online hacking concerns and company shakeups, as well as a shiny new app that's here to save the day for robocall victims everywhere. Whether you're a Twitter user who's been affected by the latest hacking attempt or just someone who hates getting unwanted calls on their phone, there's something in this article for everyone. So next time you pick up your phone and start scrolling through your call log, remember that ourmine is out there watching – and Call Protect is ready to help keep those pesky robocalls at bay.
