Scientists in Japan have succeeded in transmitting energy wirelessly, in a key step that could one day make solar power generation in space a possibility, an official said Thursday. It’s a game-changing achievement for electricity generation that could one day allow us to place huge solar sheets in space and beam the energy back to Earth. The researchers from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced last week that they had used microwaves to deliver 1....

The tool, dubbed Reconnect, was released last week by Egor Homakov, a researcher with Sakurity and it takes advantage of a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issue in Facebook Login. Many websites including eCommerce websites use Facebook login as a authorisation token for logging into their websites and this could allow potential hackers to hijack such web accounts with ease. It also opens doors for phishing attacks. Homakov said that he had publicly disclosed the vulnerability on in blogpost on 26th January, 2014....
