SBI reportedly left a server based in Mumbai unprotected. Anybody with the knowledge about tracking the server can retrieve the Account details of millions of its users. Sensitive details about the bank balance, recent transaction details were also known to be revealed due to the unprotected server.
This is a recent server that was hosted in a data center located in Mumbai. This server stored all the data from the last two months about the SBI Quick service. The service allows the users of SBI to use a text message or call as a medium to receive basic information about their accounts. The information can be of their current bank balance or about the recent transactions. The text message will also contain the last four digits of the respective account number. Customers can inquire about home or car loans through this. In case, the ATM card is lost, this feature can be used to block the card.
SBI Quick was enabled for users who do not possess smartphones or for the people with low mobile data. Just by sending code words like BAL, or by placing a call they can get the required details. Thus, the registered mobile numbers can also be retrieved easily by anyone. This has created a state of astonishment and havoc in Mumbai. With so many details about so many users being unprotected, anybody can use them for blackmail. They can even track down the accounts with a large bank balance and use it to threaten them.
The duration of which the server remained without any password is unknown. But the information that has passed through the server has been tremendous. About 3 million text messages were sent by the bank through this server on Monday alone. An anonymous security researcher has found out about the leak. They also confirmed that the server was not secured with any kind of password.
This system used back-end text message and data storing medium which can hold up to millions of messages every day. This database system has also got the option for daily archives. When these details were taken, a detailed view of all the accounts could be retrieved since the month of December.
It can be noted that SBI accused the Aadhaar authority UIDAI a few days back. The bank told that the details of logins and biometrics were misused to create fake Aadhaar cards in the nation. Later, UIDAI confirmed that the database for Aadhaar was absolutely secure. The data was also verified for breaches.


Having back pain is a common problem. Many folks suffer with hurting back but aren't positive how to treat it. This article contains information to help you treat back stiffness without spending lots of cash or taking addictive medicines.
Sciatica pain is probably the most typical and the hardest types of nervous pain which can take place in anybody. Not only does it cause immobility but it also triggers extreme mental and psychological concerns to the person suffering the discomfort. A thing that most people discover it tough to understand would be that the sciatica pain relief cannot happen merely by medication or bed rest. There are two basic methods to relieve the body from this issue, the first is having the treatment of the problem that's causing the discomfort. Another way, and that is extremely effective, is doing sciatica exercises.
When drugs, exercises, massage sessions and other non surgical measures fail to supply results, an epidural injection might just be your best shot for instant back trouble relief. Though rarely administered, the injections are generally suggested as a final non surgical treatment before resorting to a full fledged surgery.
If you are afflicted by sciatica, you have to take care of your back every day. Along with proper exercise, one must take care to make sure that there's minimum stress on the spine. Make certain you have the right posture. Also determine that you are following ergonomics when lifting anything. Standing or sitting for boring hours at a push can lead to back trouble. Therefore if your job involves extended standing or sitting, make sure that you take five at regular intervals.
Dealing with back trouble will never be a simple thing, simply because of the pain the difficulty includes. Hence, it might only be sensible enough if you take steps to prevent back stiffness. One important step that you can take in this direction is switch to energy-save chairs. Efficient chairs have varied features that help give extra support to your back and therefore reduce the chances of back pain.


So, after two years of owning my Canon C300, I finally bought a shoulder rig that I'm happy with. It's not for lack of trying. I shoot mostly one-man-band and small crew shoots, so as much as I covet the top-of-the-line Elements Mantis handheld rig, I had to be realistic - do I need a sliding dovetail and 2 or 3 separate camera plates?
No. I need something that's simple, configurable, and cheap without being a piece of garbage.
Last year I bought this, Tilta's 15mm cage and handheld rig for the C300.
What a piece of garbage. Even though it was machined aluminum and I LOVE rosettes in camera rigs, the rig itself felt disposable. I definitely wasn't going to be renting this out.
The worst thing about Tilta shoulder rigs - the thing that nobody tells you - is that at least half of the machined holes on the rig - the holes that look like standard 1/4-20 holes are actually a different size: metric 6, or M6 for short. Which means that there are far fewer mountable points on this rig than advertised.
Seriously, I've seen this rig sold on a lot of websites and not a one mentions that a lot of the machined holes are M6.
So I returned it and spent the next year researching other rigs.
My buddy Sean Anderson had the Tilta V-Lock shoulderpad and built a simple rig around that with Redrock Micro 15mm Handles and a Jag35 counterweight that I'd lent him on the back.
I liked the idea of having a V-Lock shoulder pad for popping on and off the tripod quickly, but there was no way I was buying another Tilta rig(in all fairness I think their Israeli arm is pretty good for the price). Also, it was a lot less pieces than your traditional cinema-style set-up. I shoot mostly interviews and b-roll, so simpler and quicker is always better.
Recently, I worked as B Camera on a shoot in which we got to throw a coffee machine through a three-story window and met an English cameraman named Steven Trinder, who was shooting with his own C300.
What follows is a piece-by-piece description of the rig that he was using, which is also the rig that I ended up purchasing. All prices are from B&H Photo.
A simple, stout V-Lock shoulder support and baseplate. Has rods on both sides so that you can hang a counterweight or battery of the back if you want. Has a manfrotto style quick-release plate on top that mounts to the bottom of the C300, which is a fine way to mount the camera to the baseplate and also allows for the camera to slide backward or forward in the quick-release for balancing purposes.
It's also got a bubble level on the top of the baseplate which is kind of neat I think.
Rock-solid. Built-in rosettes. Just press the spring-loaded red button on either side of the handles and you can easily set the position of the handles.
I don't exactly love the rubber material that covers the grips - it feels like it could wear away after repeated use - but on the whole these grips are fantastic.
Comparable and better top handles for the C300 cost $300 and up. The factory top handle that comes with the camera is terrible, so it's advisable to upgrade.
Kind of pricey at 56 bucks, but this little doo-dad lets you, with the help of the Genustech Top Handle, extend the factory clamshell monitor 4-6 extra inches in front of your face. The added distance makes all the difference when operating this set-up handheld, which is actually, obviously the whole point of this post.
So there you have it, a solid handheld rig for $842.32. Compare that to the Stinger or the Mantis or the Zacuto Rigs. Hell, even the Tilta is more.
This is a cheaper, better, more solid rig.
So - you're welcome, I guess.
Thanks to DP and Lighting Cameraman Steven Trinder who initially conceived of this rig. I met Steven on a recent shoot and he was kind enough to give me a rundown of the rig, piece-by-piece. I liked it so much, I ended up purchasing it, piece-by-piece.
You can see Steven's work here. Follow him on twitter at @Steven_Trinder.

Lucy Hale: I Used to Starve Myself
by Hilton Hater at August 7, 2012 12:47 pm . Updated at December 16, 2021 9:03 am .
Lucy Hale stars on Pretty Little Liars.
But in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, the actress opens up about a pretty big problem she has since overcome.
"I've never really talked about this, but I would go days without eating," Hale says. "Or maybe I'd have some fruit and then go to the gym for three hours... I knew I had a problem. It was a gradual process but I changed myself."
Fortunately, it sounds like the young star has moved past this eating disorder and - as you can tell by cover image above - she is looking mighty great as a result.
Hale is also dating ex-Secret Circle actor Chris Zylk, who will play a role on American Horror Story Season 2. What went down when they first met? Some serious hormones!
"I was like, 'Holy crap! You're gorgeous!" Hale laughs. "It was like no one else was there. We couldn't stop talking."
We're guessing, later in the night, they couldn't stop doing a few other things either.

Deborah Meaden is a highly successful businesswoman and entrepreneur, who is best known for her appearances on the BBC2 edition of Dragons' Den.
At the age of 19, with very little capital, Deborah Meaden launched her own glass and ceramics import company supplying upmarket stores like Harvey Nichols. Despite having sole agency rights, the goods started appearing in other high street shops and, without the finances for a legal fight, Deborah walked away and took on a franchise for Italian footwear and clothing company Stefanel, one of the first in the UK.
With several successful businesses in the leisure and retail sector under her belt, Deborah became Managing Director of her family's holiday park business Weststar Holidays, acquired the major shareholding in a management buyout and later sold the company in a deal worth £33 million whilst retaining a 23% stake.
Since moving away from the leisure industry, Deborah has become an investor. Having first invested in a market research company, Deborah became a household name through her presence in BBC2′s Dragon's Den. The show has led her to invest and advise all manner of businesses from a wool manufacturers to a baby products company, an online antique valuation service to a recipe website.
Today Deborah strives to achieve a life that is balanced between her business interests, the projects and causes she feels passionate about and spending time with her family, friends and animals.


We were appointed by Prior's Field School, an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 11-18, as Principal Contractor to undertake the design and build of the new Music, Science and Technology Building. The works included demolition of part of an existing building plus alterations to the existing accommodation and associated external works.
Working with the novated Architect and Engineer, the three-phased development saw the new Music Science & Technology building completed in the time for the new academic year in 2016, with the remainder completed by the end of January 2017.
The new three-storey building of circa 1800m2 is traditional in appearance with a pitched roof that forms the third floor. Traditional masonry construction features throughout with pre-cast concrete planks to all floors.
The external elevations are rendered, with aluminium-clad timber windows.


This question is a case in hand.
If I request /products?foo=bar in my browser, I get a full page wrapped in a layout, the layout contains a header with a form allowing to change search criterias.
If I change foo value to baz and submit the form, it reloads dynamically the results (with a jQuery $.load(), for example), calling /products?foo=baz in Ajax.
If I enter the same criteria into my iPhone app, the app requests /products?foo=bar to the server, which replies with a json object.
All 3 calls refer to the same resource ("the products list", resource is intended as in REST resource), but all need different rendering.
This rendering switch can be triggered by the headers X-Requested-With (with or without layout) and Accept (html/json).
How could I implement this mechanism application-wide, rather than duplicate this behavior in every single action ?

Q: Silex/Pimple: app parameter not updated instantly by middleware I use the Silex/Pimple container to store parameters for my application. Some of those parameters are set using middleware.
Now I have come across the problem where I want to access a parameter value that should have been set through middleware. But when I output it, it still contains the old value.
This is a simplified version of my code:
    $app['test'] = 'old value';

    $app->before(function (Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request $request, Silex\Application $app){
       // logic
       $app['test'] = 'new value';
    }, Silex\Application::EARLY_EVENT);

    echo $app['test'];

outputs:
old value

Does someone know how I can force the middleware to run first and then do the output? Or is there an other way to interact with the request before everything else?

This resulted in more relevant and appealing copy and drove more than double the amount of traffic to the site.
Localisation strategies for global success

Localisation is easy, said no one ever. There are so many things that can go wrong during the localisation process and this can have a detrimental impact on any organisation - from damaging a brand's image and perception to longer time-to-market and often even financial repercussions. But it doesn't have to be that way. The localisation process can not only be smooth, streamlined and efficient but it can also deliver big value for any business.

How not to scale international link building
James Finlayson - Verve Search
All too often we're asked to build a campaign, translate it into 20 languages and then outreach it...everywhere. Whilst international link building can be scalable, where to stop - and how to make sure the piece is resonant to each country's culture and media-landscape, is really hard. In this example, I'll take you through the methods that we used last year to build over 5k links in 90 countries.

5 false assumptions about your traffic
Andraž Štalec - Red Orbit
Analysing online traffic and making sense of all the data is something digital marketers do every day, and every day they make assumptions. While these can often be based on past experience, on data and logic, they aren't always correct. Based on many years search experience and recent research, Andraž will highlight some of these oft-made assumptions and share insights including how marketing maturity influences search, how to determine brand stickiness and how to analyse cross-channel customer journeys in multiple markets.
Going beyond the tech to drive digital asset optimisation
Daniel Smulevich - Jellyfish
Data is spread across many places - ad tech, CRM systems, customer service logs, website and app analytics, loyalty programs, and much more. This means it can be hard to get a sense of what is useful for growth.
Today's international brands are buying into the "right" tech to improve digital maturity, but are still struggling to consistently get sufficient value. An often-overlooked element is the Organisation itself.
Daniel will share how international advertisers and publishers can move up the digital maturity ladder and use data to drive top and bottom value contribution, covering examples from a variety of industries - from CPG to fashion and healthcare.
Learn how to develop a scalable data architecture, providing a consistent approach to measurement and activation, while retaining the flexibility for individual brands and markets to be able to tailor their approach, depending on their specific business objectives and market conditions.

Our mission is to provide an independent auditing software tool that helps Google Analytics users, agencies and implementers ensure they use only trustable data that they can rely on.
Data is valuable, but it can go bad at any time – lost, polluted, duplicated, or a dreaded GDPR compliance issue. Often these problems go unnoticed for months – ruining months of data with no way to clean it retroactively. Verified Data ensures you can keep on top of your data BEFORE small problems become big issues. Meaning your team, manager, or clients can have confidence in their data.
Our ambition is to verify all Google Analytics set-ups for completeness, accuracy and privacy compliance – benefiting businesses, agencies, the public sector, and ultimately the citizens of the web.
