Why There’s Room for RealPad
In my last blog, I discussed the current disconnect —or lag—with some seniors, especially older ones, when it comes to smartphone adoption.
As research by Pew and others has suggested, the reasons many older people have lagged in adoption of smartphones seems rooted in the footprint of the device, i.e. size of the user interface and thus ease of reading, viewing and manipulation.  This is evident in the rapid adoption of larger devices  like tablets and e-readers – by this demographic.
In recognition of the stumbling blocks for some seniors, earlier this month AARP launched its new RealPad tablet. The $189 device, produced in partnership with Intel, includes larger text and icons. But it also smartly packages all-hour tech support and video tutorials – tools designed expressly for seniors. And it comes preloaded with an AARP app, eBook reader, email (Gmail), photo sharing, video chat, games, tools and other features like a retirement and health calculators. Additional apps will be available on Google Play.
It’s basically a tablet—about the size of an iPad mini—that runs Google Android 4.4 with a custom app launcher featuring large icons.  AARP says the tablet is designed for anyone who is apprehensive about using tablets and embracing technology and going digital.
AARP specifically targets 70-million 50+-age group, who haven’t adopted tablet technology. But I think the sweet spot for this product really isn’t most Boomers, but older seniors – the generation born before 1946. As we’ve discussed before, many Boomers are plenty tech savvy – and I also would be remiss if I didn’t mention that some seniors I’ve come across are plenty tech savvy…but not all.
OK, so why should you consider it for or recommend it to the seniors in your life? I like the design concept and larger icons and readability, but more than that, I like the addition of its one-click RealQuick Fix troubleshooting feature and 24/7-tech support. (Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX also offers 24/7 support).
In terms of security, AARP has also made a smart move: It allows, among other free downloads, “Protecting Yourself Online for Dummies.†As it says, “Don’t let news about Internet risks deter you from taking full advantage of its benefits.â€
My previous post had some of our own safety suggestions for seniors. I’m not clear on AARP’s entire security offering. We at AVG offer strong security apps on the Android platform, check out our Google Play page.
Is the RealPad the right choice for everyone over the age of 50? Probably not. But it was designed with an older adult in mind who needs a little extra care – and I applaud that.
I agree with AARP, there’s just too much value in the digital world for seniors to be shut off.  Tablets and larger format smartphones can really enrich their lives. In addition to providing grandparents with a digital photo album of their grandkids and a social platform to stay connected with family and friends, it’s a ready-made platform and market for important things like health monitoring and management apps. RealPad is a great step in the right direction to address that need.
We should all be interested in addressing the needs of this market. After all, we are all likely to be seniors someday.
Cyber awareness month – stay safe online
Bad URLs can steal your identity, track your every movement, and violate your privacy. Bad URLs have been around for many years, and they are still wreaking havoc. It is exactly why you should always be careful where you click.
Clicking on an infected or bad URL has happened to millions across the globe in probably every country, and the reason people sometimes make the mistake of clicking something they shouldn’t is the very reason that the bad guys keep putting those bad URL’s in various places (websites, emails, pop up ads, etc.) to trick us. They keep doing it because we keep clicking where we shouldn’t.
This October we celebrated Cyber Awareness Month and Avira wants to make sure users don’t click on anything bad and end up on a website that is dangerous. Avira Browser Safety is a browser extension that ensures that when users browse various sites on the Internet, they don’t accidentally click on a bad URL.
Avira Browser Safety is browser extension which protects a user’s online privacy and blocks malicious websites before they load. Right now it’s available to Avira users for free.
If you don’t have browser security installed on your PC, please consider installing Avira Browser Security. It’s important to make sure you’re doing everything possible to remain safe while online, and set in motion good browsing habits that last throughout the year.

Was your email hacked in recent data breaches?
In early September, reports of a massive Gmail password breach came to light across the globe. In all, there were up to 5 million stolen Gmail accounts and passwords and all were published on a Russian forum.
Luckily, many of the passwords do not match the Gmail accounts with which they are associated. Google announced that only 1 to 2 % of the passwords match and that it has secured those. It has also stated that its systems were not breached in any way. But, the damage is done and another breach has occurred.
It could be that passwords stolen from previous security breaches such as Adobe or LinkedIn happened to be the same ones that people used for Gmail and the hacker put together different data sets to come up with this list.
In mid-September, Russia’s largest email providers mail.ru and Yandex were hit by data breaches. Around 5 million mail.ru email accounts and 1 million Yandex email accounts were breached and passwords released on Russian forums. The companies said that their systems were not compromised and these accounts were stolen using phishing attacks. The analysis of these accounts showed that they were at least partially genuine.
In what seemed to be a busy month for hackers, JP Morgan Chase announced that over 76 million households in the US were affected by a breach that compromised personal contact information like addresses, email addresses and phone numbers.
No matter how many times breaches happen all over the globe, you can always check to see if your personal email address has been compromised. By downloading Avira’s Identity Safeguard to your mobile device, you can instantly scan the Avira database and check to see if you’re identity has been compromised. To check your email address, download the free Identity Safeguard app for Avira’s iOS or Android mobile apps.

3. Problem Description
a. Bash update for multiple products.
Bash libraries have been updated in multiple products to resolve
multiple critical security issues, also referred to as Shellshock.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the identifiers CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169,
CVE-2014-7186, and CVE-2014-7187, CVE-2014-6277, CVE-2014-6278
to these issues.
VMware products have been grouped into the following four
product categories:
I) ESXi and ESX Hypervisor
ESXi is not affected because ESXi uses the Ash shell (through
busybox), which is not affected by the vulnerability reported
for the Bash shell.
ESX has an affected version of the Bash shell. See table 1 for
remediation for ESX.
II) Windows-based products
Windows-based products, including all versions of vCenter Server
running on Windows, are not affected.
III) VMware (virtual) appliances
VMware (virtual) appliances ship with an affected version of Bash.
See table 2 for remediation for appliances.
IV) Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding
virtual appliances)
Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding
virtual appliances) might use the Bash shell that is part of the
operating system. If the operating system has a vulnerable
version of Bash, the Bash security vulnerability might be
exploited through the product. VMware recommends that customers
contact their operating system vendor for a patch.
MITIGATIONS
VMware encourages restricting access to appliances through
firewall rules and other network layer controls to only trusted IP
addresses. This measure will greatly reduce any risk to these
appliances.
RECOMMENDATIONS
VMware recommends customers evaluate and deploy patches for
affected products in Table 1 and 2 below as these
patches become available.
Column 4 of the following tables lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

3. Problem Description
a. Bash update for multiple products.
Bash libraries have been updated in multiple products to resolve
multiple critical security issues, also referred to as Shellshock.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the identifiers CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169,
CVE-2014-7186, and CVE-2014-7187, CVE-2014-6277, CVE-2014-6278
to these issues.
VMware products have been grouped into the following four
product categories:
I) ESXi and ESX Hypervisor
ESXi is not affected because ESXi uses the Ash shell (through
busybox), which is not affected by the vulnerability reported
for the Bash shell.
ESX has an affected version of the Bash shell. See table 1 for
remediation for ESX.
II) Windows-based products
Windows-based products, including all versions of vCenter Server
running on Windows, are not affected.
III) VMware (virtual) appliances
VMware (virtual) appliances ship with an affected version of Bash.
See table 2 for remediation for appliances.
IV) Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding
virtual appliances)
Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding
virtual appliances) might use the Bash shell that is part of the
operating system. If the operating system has a vulnerable
version of Bash, the Bash security vulnerability might be
exploited through the product. VMware recommends that customers
contact their operating system vendor for a patch.
MITIGATIONS
VMware encourages restricting access to appliances through
firewall rules and other network layer controls to only trusted IP
addresses. This measure will greatly reduce any risk to these
appliances.
RECOMMENDATIONS
VMware recommends customers evaluate and deploy patches for
affected products in Table 1 and 2 below as these
patches become available.
Column 4 of the following tables lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.
Table 1 - ESXi and ESX Hypervisor

* VMware has made VMware ESX 4.0 and 4.1 security patches available
for the Bash shell vulnerability. This security patch release is an
exception to the existing VMware lifecycle policy.

Mandos Encrypted File System Unattended Reboot Utility 1.6.9
The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file system.
