Lollipop Android offers better quality photos to support the … – Tudocelular.com

Android 5.0 Lollipop brings tons of improvements to the Android operating system. Increased security, introduction of new features, bug fixes and overall polishing of the operating system for a completely redesigned user interface with the Material Design , which brings a layered approach to the animations. Basically everything that you touch on the screen will move and turn something else, each animation will go somewhere, in other words, you will see elements on the screen moving around.

As you probably already know , Google is bringing support for RAW image files at the operating system level with the Android 5.0 Lollipop. This feature can really improve the images on all devices running the new version. But, What are RAW image files? Well, they are basically a dump of the entire capture image data from the camera sensor. No loss of information when converting into smaller JPEG files. With the reduction in size of the image file captured many details end up being euthanized. The Lollipop Android allows you have the original file, without loss . Of course, this will make the internal memory of your device runs faster, since a file in RAW format can be up to 5 times greater that even in JPEG format.

PkmX is a developer who has launched an application called L Camera , which is an app experimental camera that is designed to save images in the format of Adobe DNG , says Forbes . This is a very popular format for RAW images you can edit everything you want through third-party applications. The developer used a Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 developer preview, in order to record these images and compare them with the original results of the camera model. These DNG files were manually converted into JPEG files through an editing application called RawTherapee , and you can check the results in the gallery.

Paul Monckton , the tester, was intrigued and did a comparison of your own DSLR with the Nexus using the L 5 Camera app and the pictures that were taken in DNG format were manually converted into JPEGs via Photoshop Lightroom . You can check out the images above. The first follows the JPEG standard, while the other is manually converted RAW version.

He concluded that the Nexus 5 camera with access to RAW files really shows the potential that it has, and that was not in use due to limitations of JPEG . On the other hand, he was impressed with the difference in some images. In any case, this option is definitely interesting. And best of all, will be available for any smartphone to receive the upgrade to Lollipop.

Android continues to be the favorite of hackers – Pplware

60% of attacks Android aim to steal money

According to the report’s findings “mobile cyber threats,” prepared by Kaspersky Lab and the Interpol between August 2013 and July 2014, 60% of recorded attacks by security products from Kaspersky Lab had intended to steal money from users of Android devices.

Cybercriminals directed their attacks, mostly users against Russia, while Ukraine, Spain, the UK, Vietnam, Malaysia, Germany, India and France also appear on the list of the countries attacked.

android_bank

In absolute terms, more than 588,000 Android users worldwide suffered attacks with financial malware (Trojan-Trojan-SMS and Banking) during the period analyzed. This figure is six times greater than occurred in the same period last year

kaspersky_05

In total, 57.08% of all reported incidents were linked programs for family of malware Trojans, SMS, designed to send short messages to special numbers without charging the users’ knowledge. Russia is the country that receives most of these attacks, with 64.42% of all detections in user devices made by this country antivirus Kaspersky Lab

About a quarter of the attacks Trojan-SMS has been detected in Kazakhstan (5.71%), Ukraine (3.32%), Spain (3.19%), the UK (3.02%), Vietnam (2.41%), Malaysia ( 2.3%), Germany (2%), India (1.55%) and France (1.32%).

Other 1.98% of malware attacks use a Banking Trojan-which, combined with the functionality of the Trojan-SMS is able to steal data from bank cards as well as user names and passwords for online banking services. Russia is at the top of this table, with 90.58% of all-Banking Trojan detections to be registered in the Russian Federation. The remaining top 10 has a relatively low level of attacks and includes Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, USA, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Germany and Uzbekistan.



New trends in mobile threats

Although during the period analyzed the Kaspersky Lab products have registered a relatively small number of attacks on mobile banking Trojans, analysts from security firm indicate that the total number of variants of mobile malware has grown strongly -. the only 423 in August 2013 to 5967 in July 2014 samples, ie, 14 times more

The variants or modifications, are a version of a malicious program that undergoes a slight change from the original malware. This small change can make the malware is less detectable by security solutions. The high level of growth of these variants found during this study shows that cybercriminals are creating multiple variations of malware in its attempt to go unnoticed antivirus solutions and infect as many devices as possible. Usually antivirus companies create a new signature in software to defend this kind of tactic.

“A successful infection by a Trojan-Banking can provide access to the cybercriminal to all the money from his victim, as a Trojan-SMS needs of infecting dozens or even hundreds of devices to achieve a profit that is worth the work. But not all users use online banking applications. This is why there is a big difference in the number of Trojan and Trojan-SMS-Banking recorded attacks on our products, “explains Roman Unuchek, senior virus analyst at Kaspersky Lab.

” During the recent years have witnessed a considerable increase in the number of mobile cyber threats, which have also grown increasingly complex and intelligent enough to achieve specific entities. With the mobile market growing exponentially, it becomes increasingly clear that these threats are mutating to include new attack vectors that allow them to explore personal devices, “noted Madan Oberoi, Director of ciberinovação and dissemination in INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation

Even today, if you repeatedly tap the version number / name in the Android settings, an image with the same logo appears, not counting, of course, other cases that were previously mentioned.

Now, a new Android app called Work has just been found in previous Lollipop for the Nexus line of devices ( LPX13D ).

The application, although it is now possible to open it, does not work on current devices and may not be in its final version (it asks for a “ Activation Code ” that “does not exist”). It is likely that he will have enabled the new Nexus Nexus 6 and 9, and the strategy behind it is to make Android be used in different working environments, bringing more convenience to those who will use it. It’s a very bold bet Google, however, since smartphones are increasingly being used in offices and the like, can be a good move.

Along with the new Android APIs related to L Personal information and work, they can coexist on the same device without interfering with each other. Thus, a user can use their personal device in a work environment without worrying about interference from data between a “personal profile” and a “professional profile”. Let’s wait until the final version of Lollipop is delivered to meet this and other applications closely.
