WhatsApp adds a touch of Snapchat with 'Status' feature

Facebook seems to have a thing for Snapchat Stories. The popular feature, on the social network that's giving Facebook a run for the money, lets people post a string of photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. In August, Facebook-owned Instagram introduced its own version, called Instagram Stories. And Facebook is currently testing Facebook Stories in its mobile app in Ireland.

Now a similar feature is coming to another Facebook-owned

app. WhatsApp, which has more than a billion users, on Monday introduced a revamped version of its Status feature. Users will be able to share a string of photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. Where have we heard that one before?

Previously, the Status feature let you display only simple things like "at school" or "at the movies" or some similar snippet you'd written yourself.

With the revamped feature, you can share photos, videos, and GIFs and punch them up with emojis, text and drawings. You'll be able to share them with all your contacts. WhatsApp also said the new feature is encrypted end-to-end.

Snapchat, which announced its filing for an IPO earlier this month, is manna for young people. Nearly 70 percent of all 18- to 24-year-olds in the US use the app, according to ComScore. Facebook has noticed.

Instagram's version of Stories has been popular. The feature has 150 million daily users, and last month Instagram said Stories would start showing ads.

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum said in a blog post that the new version of Status is meant to coincide with the app's eighth birthday, on February 24. Facebook bought the app in 2014 for $19 billion.

YouTube ditches unskippable 30-second ads

YouTube is to scrap "unskippable" 30-second advertisements on the video-streaming service, from 2018.

Google confirmed the plan to the BBC's Newsround programme, saying it wanted to focus on "formats that work well for both users and advertisers".

Long unskippable adverts are seen as a nuisance by many viewers, and Google has introduced shorter formats.

One media agency said the move reflected the difference between online video and linear television services.

"The 30-second ad is a legacy from TV times," said Will Smyth, head of media at the Agenda21 agency.

"It's a standard TV unit which has been put online, but it's not the most effective way to advertise.

"This will encourage advertisers to be more creative about the way they use the platform."

Many other websites, including the BBC's international offer, feature unskippable 30-second ads on video content.

"Demand from advertisers for video content is high, but there's a shortage of quality content," said Mr Smyth.

"It's good business for everyone to focus on 'skippables' - people aren't forced to sit through ads, and advertisers don't need to pay if their ad is skipped."

Yahoo Hacked Once Again: Company Issues Security Notice to Users

Yahoo was busy investigating the huge-breach which exposed more than 1 billion user accounts and now the company has found that between in 2015 and 2016 some potentially malicious activity was identified on the website. The company revealed on Wednesday that as of now, it has issued the warning notification to all the users but they have not specified how many users have been affected, still Yahoo is certain that user accounts are compromised during the mentioned time period. This notorioud activity is believed to be caused by using Forged Cookies.

The warning notification that is sent by Yahoo to affected users is as follows:

“Based on an on-going investigation, we believe that a forged cookie may have been used back in 2015 or 2016 to access your account.”

The Yahoo told  Guardian that it reported about the forged cookie back in November 2016 itself for the first time and has addressed the issue in its December 2016 security update but some users are being notified this month. The spokeswoman from Yahoo said that after investigating that the issue, they found user accounts for which the forged cookies are used. But, “Yahoo is in the process of notifying all of potentially affected account holders. Yahoo has invalidated the forged cookies so they cannot be used again,” she added.

We know that last year Yahoo revealed the involvement of state-sponsored actor in stealing private data more than 500 million users in a mega-breach that occurred between 2013 and 2014. The stolen data includes important private details such as date of birth, email IDs and security questions answers of the users. This particular breach was utterly devastating for Yahoo since it raised concerns and questions about the security measures employed by the company.

The data breach also sabotaged the deal between Yahoo and Verizon Communications in which the former was supposed to sell its email service, mobile apps and websites to the latter.
