Arkansas Social Media Consent Law, Android Malware Invasion, New Method of Keyless Car Theft

Is Arkansas taking the right step to protect children online? A new law passed in the state makes it illegal for minors to use social media without their parent or guardian’s consent.

Over 60 Android apps on the Google Play Store with more than 100 million downloads have been infiltrated by the new “Tekya” malware. The malware can commit ad fraud and steal Facebook credentials.

Criminals are stealing keyless cars in under two minutes with a previously unknown method involving intercepting the signal between the car key and the car.
