Ajay Jayaram defends Dutch Open title

Indian shuttler Ajay Jayaram notched up a superb straight-game win over Estonia’s Raul Must in the final to defend his men’s singles title at the Dutch Open Grand Prix on Sunday.

Indian shuttler Ajay Jayaram notched up a superb straight-game win over Estonia’s Raul Must in the final to defend his men’s singles title at the Dutch Open Grand Prix on Sunday.

Just three weeks after reaching his maiden Super Series final at Korea Open, Jayaram continued his rampaging run as he defeated sixth seed and World No.48 Raul 21-12, 21-18 in a 34-minute lop-sided match.

The 28-year-old Mumbai-born shuttler had lost to Raul way back in 2010 Austrian International Challenge but a lot has happened ever since as Jayaram dished out a dominating show to walk away with the title without much ado.

In the opening game, World No. 26 Jayaram opened up a 4-0 lead early on and didn’t allow Raul to come anywhere near him as he extended his lead and eventually earned the bragging rights.

Raul, who had ended the run of another Indian RMV Gurusaidutt in the quarterfinals, showed signs of recovery in the second game when he turned the tables on Jayaram at 6-5 at the Topsportcentrum.

But the Indian quickly clawed back and broke off at 7-7 to keep his nose ahead even though Raul kept breathing down his neck. Jayaram, who is coached by Tom John at Bangalore, grabbed two match points first and then slammed the door on Must to clinch a deserving win.

Jayaram had won the Dutch Open, his maiden title last year. This is the second title of his career.

“It is a good result. The way he has made a comeback from injury and then to reach back to back finals at Korea and win at Dutch is commendable. I hope it gives him the confidence in the next events,” Chief Coach Pullela Gopichand said.

“He always had the game and it is a matter of confidence. So it is a very good win and I wish him all the best.”

Asked if Jayaram has a chance of qualifying for Olympics, Gopichand said: “Yes, definitely. These are early days and I think if he can continue his form, good things can happen.”

Talking about the level of competition in Indian badminton, Gopichand said: “It is really goods. I am happy with the way things are going. A lot of players are doing well. Infact Manu and Sumeeth also reached the finals and I hope they win the title.

“Also, there are juniors such as Krishna Prasad Garaga and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy who won the Asia U17 & U15 Junior Championships in boys doubles. So overall, many good things happening and it is important to set the bar even higher now.”

5 Foods for Healthy Eyes

Beyond carrots

You’ve probably heard that carrots and other orange-colored fruits and vegetables promote eye health and protect vision, and it’s true: Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that gives these foods their orange hue, helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly.

But eating your way to good eyesight isn’t only about beta-carotene. Though their connection to vision isn’t as well-known, several other vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy eyes. Make these five foods a staple of your diet to keep your peepers in tip-top shape.

Leafy greens

They’re packed with lutein and zeaxanthin—antioxidants that,studies show, lower the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.

Eggs

The yolk is a prime source of lutein and zeaxanthin—plus zinc, which also helps reduce your macular degeneration risk, according to Paul Dougherty, MD, medical director of Dougherty Laser Vision in Los Angeles.

Citrus and berries

These fruits are powerhouses ofvitamin C, which has been shown to reduce the risk of developingmacular degeneration andcataracts.

Almonds

They’re filled with vitamin E, which slows macular degeneration,research shows. One handful (an ounce) provides about half of your daily dose of E.

WhatsApp offers Android users backup in Google Drive

WhatsApp users will no more have to worry about memory storage capacity of their smartphones as it has announced a backup feature for Android platform that will help store chats and multimedia content in Google Drive.

“…you don’t want your memories stuck on your phone. (What if something happens?!) So starting today, WhatsApp for Android lets you create a private backup of your chat history, voice messages, photos and videos in Google Drive. And once you do, you can restore everything on a new device with just a couple of taps”, Google Drive Director of Product Management Scott Johnston said in his blog.

“The new backup feature is rolling out over in the next few months, so keep an eye on your WhatsApp settings to see if it’s available”, Johnston said.

“WhatsApp website also shared similar information. You can back up your messages and media to Google Drive so that if you lose your phone or switch to another Android phone, your chats are safe”, the instant messenger portal said.

The feature will come in a new update for existing Android users. After updating their WhatsApp application, they can go to setting option in the application, select ‘Chats and Calls’ option and opt for frequency – daily, weekly, monthly or never – for saving their data.

However, this update at present is not available in WhatsApp application for Android users in India.

WhatsApp did not respond to the query sent regarding the date when this feature will be available for Indian users.

The mobile instant messenger reported to have over 70 million monthly active users in India till November 2014. In September, the company disclosed that it has 900 million active users globally.

Microsoft Pays $24,000 To Hacker

A security researcher has won $24,000 from Microsoft for finding a critical flaw in its Live.com authentication system that could allow hackers to gain access to a user’s complete Outlook account or other Microsoft services.

Microsoft’s Live.com is the authentication system that everyone go through while attempting to authenticate to Outlook.com and a large number of other Microsoft services, including OneDrive, Windows Phone, Skype, and Xbox LIVE.

Hacking Hotmail (Outlook.com) Account

It’s one account for all services. So, if say, Outlook wants to access other apps, it uses a standard set of authentication code called OAuth.

OAuth is an open standard for authorization that keeps your passwords safe on third-party sites and instead of sharing your password, it shares a special key called ‘Access token’ to access the app.

OAuth authorizations are accomplished through a prompt, as shown below and to allow an app to gain access to your account, you need to click ‘Yes’.



However, Synack security researcher Wesley Wineberg found an amazing hack that allowed him to bypass Microsoft’s OAuth protection mechanism using his malicious ‘proof-of-concept’ app, named ‘Evil App.’

According to the technical details posted by security researcher, attacker’s malicious app can effectively gain access to everything in victim’s account just by tricking the victim into visiting a web page, which required no other user interaction.

Exploit Demonstration

You can watch the video demonstration below that shows the attack in work:



What’s more concerning about this vulnerability, according to Wineberg, is that it could have been exploited and abused by malicious hackers to create a nasty email worm.

“Using this as a targeted attack definitely has a high impact, but this is also the perfect type of vulnerability to turn into a worm,” Wineberg wrote. “A worm could easily email all of a user’s contacts, with something enticing…and spread to every user who clicks the link.”

However, Microsoft patched the vulnerability in mid-September and paid out a whopping $24,000 to Wineberg as part of Microsoft’s tech titan’s bug bounty program.

Earlier this week, Cybereason security researchers discovered more issues in Microsoft’s Outlook app that affected business’ users.

Vijender Singh looks to live upto hype in pro debut tomorrow

The 29-year-old, who scripted history as an amateur by becoming India’s first Olympic and World Championships medallist, is all set to begin a new chapter in his illustrious boxing career. In his debut middleweight pro bout, the strapping six-footer faces a cocky opponent in Whiting, who has promised to put him “through hell”. The 26-year-old from Rochester is three-bouts old in the circuit and has a 2-1 win-loss record.

Despite the verbal provocations, Vijender has remained his usual composed self and has promised to answer every threat with his punches in the ring.

“I am totally focussed and waiting for the right moment to reply in the ring. I am not at all bothered by his comments. I will reply with my punches,” Vijender said on the eve of the bout.

Vijender, who signed up with Queensberry Promotions in July, is not the first Indian to enter the professional arena with the likes of Gurcharan Singh and Pradeep Sihag having been a regular in the circuit earlier. However, never before has an Indian boxer’s professional debut generated this kind of hype.

This can largely be attributed to his equally unprecedented success as an amateur boxer, a highlight of which was becoming the world number one in middleweight at one stage.

Indian Cos Cyber Attacks Double In A Year

Such incidents in India have surged to 6,284 thus far in the current financial year from 2,895 reported cases in  FY15, according to a report.

MUMBAI:In July, two of the country’s biggest banks started getting complaints that their customers were unable to access any online services. An hour later, it was discovered that professional cyber criminals had launched DDOS (distributed denial of services) attacks from servers traced to Pakistan.In this case, the banks were able to wrest back control of their servers using professional help without having to pay any ransom. But they’re not alone in becoming targets–as Indian companies see growth, many of them are facing increasingly coming to the attention of cyber attackers.Such incidents in India have surged to 6,284 thus far in the current financial year from 2,895 reported cases in FY15, according to a report by PriceWaterhouscoopers (PwC). According to the report, financial losses due to such attacks have risen 135% in the past year. Industry estimates put such losses at $4 billion annually.“With rapidly growing interconnected business operations and increasing digitization, the cyber security challenges will only grow and effective measures need to be taken to ensure protection against cyber-attacks and threats,” said Sivarama Krishnan, partner, cyber security leader, PwC India.The motives for the attacks include economic advantage to espionage and even disruption and destruction of companies. The attacks have become more sophisticated in the last few years, which means defences also need to be better.In the case of a Vadodara-based, listed company, a phishing attempt originated in an email that came from an address similar to that of a client. It sought payment for a consignment to be paid into a new bank account. “The phishing attacks are not random ones like earlier. These criminals first map the target, they exactly know what their likes are dislikes are and only then they are targeted,” said a senior police official.

“Organisations in India are looking towards innovative cyber security solutions and we’ve seen a growth in security budgets over the past few years that can support this trend,” Krishnan said.

Many Indian companies have also faced extortion demands from cyber criminals and at least two are said to have paid up in the last few months.

You Needed The Tiny Robot Smartphone 'RoboHon'

When the rest of a phone is a gesture-prone robot, other specifications fade into the distance, but Sharp’s given us most of the details. It’s not light (390 grams), or small (at 19.5cm tall, almost eight inches), making it the antithesis of how all other smartphones are evolving. There’s WiFi and LTE to make it work like a phone should, and a tiny two-inch 320 x 240 screen on its back — because you should be looking at its cute lil’ face, silly. Inside there, there’s cameras for facial recognition, and voice recognition built-in too. Sure, both are features found in existing smartphones, but they’re not robots. Don’t you get it yet?

The RoboHon (that’s a Japanese katakana-ized contraction of robot phone) can walk, sit down, get back up, dance, and raise its arms when it’s got something to tell you. It’ll be your talkative alarm clock, memo taker and text message reader and do all sorts of Siri things with a reduced level of creepiness.

Hello, it’s the bizarre Japanese anime future calling. Are you going to pick (it) up? Because it’s going on sale in Japan in the first half of 2016.
