As we can tell domino’s Pizza uses Splunk software to support its entire e-commerce environment. It enables them to slice up mountains of data and look at e-commerce logs, troubleshoot issues, assist with monitoring, provide valuable feedback to developers and deliver real-time insights to marketing. In order to become the top leader in the industry, it very important to know what consumers want. By searching, analyzing and visualizing the data stored in the Indexers, domino’s pizza has compiled these results to customize coupons about the size of the order based on a particular geographic location. They also determine which is the best time to give coupons and locate customers based on the device they use.

Oh, the irony! I remember founder of Telegram in the Tech Crunch disrupt constantly reminding the audience how unsafe it is to send messages on Whatsapp and Facebook messenger and how Telegram is the “Whatsapp killer” and addresses these issues and guarantees complete privacy to users for sending messages.

European nations are definitely concerned about privacy, and this is just another great example of that mentality. I am always telling people with children to be careful sharing photos online because of the metadata attached to photos which could tell people with bad intentions a lot of information that parents wouldn’t want available about their children. This doll reminds me of the hack that took place in late 2015 against Vtech. Vteach produces a lot of learning products for children, and the hack exposed hundreds of thousands of children’s data sets. It’s really scary why any entity would want that kind of information, and even scarier what might be done with it once acquired by those with malicious intent.

Wenlin, this article is really interesting! It reminded me another article that I read a couple weeks ago. The article I read talked about that an espionage Trojan called SpyNote RAT has been found masquerading as the popular Netflix app, to trick Android users into downloading it. Once installed, the malware is capable of activating the device’s microphone and listening to live conversations; uninstalling antivirus software; copying files from the device to the hacker’s server; recording screen captures; viewing contacts; reading SMS messages; and gaining remote control of the device.
A suggestion is that all mobile users to take precautions when downloading anything to their devices, including apps. And we should also avoid side-loading apps from third-party app stores and avoid the temptation to download and play games that re not yet officially available on Android.
