Summary | Hackers have found new ways to enter people's computers more effectively. Online advertisements can run a malware script as soon as one is on the website where the advertisement is shown - without clicking on it. This is dangerous for all websites that display advertising - the biggest advertisers online being Facebook and Google.

Summary | Twitter is spying on its users, even outside the app. It compiles or guesses information about the users and their interests to sell to advertisers for targeted advertising. Much of the guesswork they have to do is off but they collect lots of data about each user and try to guess their gender, for instance. Users can change their privacy settings so that Twitter does not track their activities on other websites and apps.
