j’archive ici les témoignages qui commencent à percer sur l’usage des ordinateurs et des gros problèmes de santé qui en découlent.
Je pense que les picotements que je ressens des doigts jusqu’au bras depuis que j’ai un macbook pro (8ans) ne sont pas pour rien dans mes problèmes de santé. Sauf qu’il est difficile de trouver des témoignages, j’archive donc ici.

Hi, this part that you wrote really cause to my attention “I use a laptop computer for at least 3 hours each day on my lap. I have had this computer for only a few months and I am curious if the heat from my computer could cause any damage to my testicles that would cause this pain. My computer gets really hot also - i noticed some red, itchy patches on my thighs that look and feel like mild burns. Ive stoped puting it on my lap but my testicle pain is still present.”

In fact when im working with it now i have to put a pillow between because the mild pain has gotten worse, I also feel some mild pain in the lower part of my testicles. At fist I though that it was just a coincidence but as I keep on using the laptiop i notice that it was getting worse. Not just there but It also makes me feel some kind of numbness on my leg. I did not wanted to be paranoid but I think that there is something on this laptop that my body does not like and that is causing this problem that i did not had before. Please let me know if you went to the doctor and what he said. Im also looking online as much as I can to see if ther is other people suffering from this problem.

BackStab : Un nouveau type de malware vise les back-ups d’iOS et Blackberry

We have recently identified 704 samples of six Trojan, adware and HackTool families for Windows or Mac OS X systems that steal private user data from backup files of iOS and BlackBerry® devices (Table 1). These attack tools have existed for up to five years, and we have observed them used in attacks in 30 countries around the
world.

Table 1 :

Rather than attacking a phone directly, BackStab involves accessing private information that was extracted from the phone through a regular backup routine and stored on a traditional desktop or laptop computer

[...]

Choosing to encrypt backup files with secure passwords, preventing their systems from being infected with malware, and generally practicing good cyber hygiene will enable users to keep their data safe from BackStab

What can an attacker retrieve from backup?
Just as Apple explains on the About backups in iCloud and iTunes page, “an iTunes backup includes nearly all of your device’s data and settings.” Through a successful BackStab attack, an attacker can steal the following information and data from an unencrypted iTunes backup:
• Call logs, SMS and MMS messages, and voice mail
• Contacts and address book information
• Email, calendars, and notes
• Photos, recorded audio and videos
• Web browsing history, browser bookmarks, cookies from visited websites
• Geolocation history
• User’s own documents saved in the phone
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection history
• Some apps’ internal data, such as session ID (which could be abused in other attacks)
• Device information, IMEI, ICCID, phone number, serial number

One, called Cottonmouth I, looks like a normal USB plug but has a tiny transceiver buried in it. According to the catalog, it transmits information swept from the computer “through a covert channel” that allows “data infiltration and exfiltration.” Another variant of the technology involves tiny circuit boards that can be inserted in a laptop computer — either in the field or when they are shipped from manufacturers — so that the computer is broadcasting to the N.S.A. even while the computer’s user enjoys the false confidence that being walled off from the Internet constitutes real protection.

In the past few weeks the Leap Motion device has sent shudders of delight through gadget lovers and computer designers alike by promising a new kind of ultra-accurate, and very cheap, optical 3D tracking for your desktop or laptop computer. Forget the Kinect, Leap Motion is cheaper ($70), more precise (down to 0.01 mm), and much smaller

A British company said on Friday that by the end of the year it would begin selling a disposable gene sequencing device that is the size of a USB memory stick and plugs into a laptop computer to deliver its results.
