Release highlights of GNOME Builder 3.22 Beta (technical version number is 3.21.90) include a brand new Search & Replace functionality, multiple improvements for the Vim text editor, a new build icon, a new Color Picker plugin, as well as various project templates enhancements. Also added in this first Beta milestone of GNOME Builder 3.22 is a new build bar that promises to give developers an overview of many tools they use to create their apps, including but not limited to the VCS (Version Control System) branch, build config, and various important build messages. Other than that, there's a brand new system profiler tool based on the Sysprof project, support for configuring various version control systems, such as Git or Mercurial, an updated Autotools plugin that now lets you extract multiple build targets, and a revamped greeter that gives newcomers quick access to the template wizard, Git clone, and File Chooser. Last but not least, GNOME Builder 3.22 Beta renames the "ide" command to "gnome-builder-cli", revamps the perspectives, and removes the sidebar. The sources are available for download right now via our website if you want to take it for a test drive, but please try to keep in mind that this is a pre-release version, not suitable for production use. 2016-08-28 23:45 Marius Nestor 2 2 Website of Sri Lanka's President Defaced by Local Hacktivists A group that calls itself The Sri Lankan Youth took credit for the defacement, local newspaper The Sunday Times reports. The hackers asked the government to reconsider moving the GCE A/L exams from April, back to August because it will interfere with Hindu holidays. Following the second defacement, the President's website, which runs on top of WordPress, was taken down for a few hours while officials worked to boost its security. The presidency also reported the crime to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), who started an official investigation. The Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Readiness Team (SLCERT) is also helping. Below is a translation of the message left on the President's website, courtesy of HackerCG. 2016-08-29 02:30 Catalin Cimpanu 3 It looks like Microsoft won't be making its summer deadline for the new Outlook.com Back in February, Microsoft proudly exclaimed that the new Outlook.com was out of beta and should roll out to all users soon. Six months later, you don't have to look very far to find those that don't have it yet. As it turns out, it looks like it's going to be longer than expected. Users attempting to share their calendar are seeing an error message telling them that Microsoft is now expecting to roll out the upgrade in the first half of 2017. The latest status update that we got from the company was in mid-July, when it said that everyone would be on the new Outlook.com "by end of summer at the latest". With just over three weeks left of the season, it seems clear that the firm will not meet its goals. There are also any number of reasons that the error message may exist. It could be an old message from when Microsoft had a different timeline; also, it could only refer to the issue keeping users from sharing their calendars. The company announced the new Outlook.com experience back in May 2015 , saying that it would be more like Outlook itself. This would add new features like Clutter, search suggestions and refiners, themes, and more. When we attempted to share a calendar through Outlook.com, we did not experience the error; nevertheless, we've reached out to Microsoft for clarification. If there is indeed a new timeline for the new Outlook.com (which seems very likely), we'll keep you informed. Have you received the new Outlook.com yet? Let us know in the comments!

Using aliases like Seth Williams and James McRow, Vallee engaged in anonymous communications with his victims, threating to release data he found, unless victims would provide sexually explicit images of them or their friends, in a tactic known as sextortion. According to a signed plea agreement, Vallee said he often took over his victim's social media accounts, locking the owners out. In cases where the victim did not respond to his threats, he defaced the accounts with compromising content. In a particular case, after obtaining sexually explicit images from a victim, in order to get more photos, Vallee created a clone Facebook profile for the victim and uploaded the previously obtained photos. The hacker then issued friend requests for the victim, her friends, and family members. Investigators said Vallee used spoofing and anonymizing text messaging services to contact and extort victims. Some of the victims complained to the Belmont Police Department, who called in the US Secret Service to investigate the threats.
