This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

have you seen "THIS IS IT" movie by michael jackson, if you haven’t seen this movie you must see it. first time i saw this movie I was amazed by MJ’s voice, imagine almost 1 decade he never sing in public but in this movie he showed to the world that king of pop still be a king. and when he sang one of my favorite songs "always be my baby" i could close my eyes because the way he sang was very great.

and in this december i just bought a new cell phone "LG Chocolate Touch" why i chose lg phone, because this cell phone was designed for music lovers and this cell phone was equipped with Dolby® Mobile which is i can hear my favorite song by MJ clearly, but not only that this Chocolate also covered with 3.2-megapixel digital camera that make me more delight for catching my favorite moment.

if you a social networking as i am dont worry because this Chocolate has social network applications like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace so after you take pictures you can upload it and share your moment with everyone.

so with my Chocolate with a touch-sensitive screen for more intuitive navigation i dont need any thing else because my LG Chocolate Touchhave excellent MP3 music phone makes me forget my iPods.

The amount of mobile malware targeting the Android community has boomed over the last four months, according to security firm Kaspersky.
Kaspersky researchers reported detecting 100,000 mobile malware variants during the second quarter of 2013, in its latest IT Threat Evolution report.
"Virtually all mobile samples that were discovered in the mobile realm were targeting Android in Q2 - just like in the first quarter of the year. One remarkable milestone was reached right at the end of the quarter - on 30 June the 100,000 modifications barrier (consisting of 629 malware families) was broken," read the report.
The report said 29,695 of the attacks were entirely new, marking a quickening in pace by hackers, who are believed to have created 22,750 new Android malware variants in the previous quarter. The paper said the figure is particularly troubling as each of the malware variants is being carried on a number of Trojan apps.
"Were not counting individual malicious apps, but malicious code samples. These code samples, however, are mostly used in multiple Trojanised apps, resulting in a significantly higher number of malicious apps waiting to be downloaded," read the report.
"The common procedure for cyber criminals is to download legitimate apps, adding malicious code and using them as a vehicle for distribution. The repackaged apps are then uploaded again, especially to third-party app stores. Popular apps are targeted to abuse their reputation, since users are actively searching for them and this therefore makes life easier for cybercriminals."
The researchers highlighted the discovery of a new Obad Trojan as being particularly troubling, confirming it has several new features.

Want to send an anonymous email or a fake name to make a joke to a friend?  Today I bring a couple of applications to send e-mails with false names and senders .

FakeMail

FakeMail is a new application that allows you to send fake emails from a fake email address . In addition, you can send e-mails with a custom name and receive a reply.

Using the application is very simple: to write an email like any other application of this type, see the section in our email name and no spaces, for which we can write a name and email address fictitious that appear to the receiver of the e-mail as legitimate.

FakeMail can be downloaded from Google Play at a price of 0.69 euros and requires Android 2.2 or higher.

Fake Mailer

Fake Mailer is another application that also allows you to send anonymous emails to anyone you want, and can invent the name and email address from which you send the e-mail.

When you start the application you have to accept certain conditions and application requirements.

Fake Mailer is available in two versions: a free, with which you can send up to 3 emails per day, and another payment that is priced at 0.99 euros (unlimited emails. Both applications require Android 1.6 or higher.

When you typically think of security hacks and probable malicious intent regarding your mobile devices, it usually boils down to your mobile device itself. An interesting find from Andrew Huang and Sean Cross from Bunnie Blog however, enlightens us on a hack that is possible on even your microSD cards. It isn’t limited to just the microSD cards though, as Huang and Cross state that the hack affects other types of flash memory as well. The blog post details exactly how the hack functions, and they even go on to explain the reasoning behind why the hack behaves how it does.

Flash memory can be potentially riddled with bugs and imperfections, which paves the way for such hacks to take place. Huang goes on to say that part of this is due in fact to a few things, including how cheap flash memory is to manufacture and acquire these days. In the simplest terms possible, the cheaper that flash memory becomes, the more unreliable it becomes, making it more susceptible to hacks or potentially dangerous attacks. The problem here lies in the unreliability of the flash memory. The manufacturers know that it’s unreliable and that it needs to be addressed. To do this they fix the issues with assistance from complicated software that is loaded onto tiny micro controllers that sit on the chip. The micro controllers contain firmware that is used to help with the fixes as well, and this is specifically what hackers take advantage of.

If the software and the micro controller both contain bugs, hackers can replace the default firmware that is used to help contain and fix the bugs, with malware that allows them to deliver a specific attack called a “man in the middle” attack. If your flash memory is affected by such an attack, it then proceeds to behave exactly how the hackers want it to, all the while you’re flash memory looks to be acting and functioning exactly as it should. Since there are no set security protocols to cover this type of attack, the only way to really get rid of it is to physically destroy the flash memory. There are more details on the structure of the microSD to better understand this vulnerability at the bunnie.blog post, and you can also check out the video below which does a detailed teardown of microSD cards at 30C3.
