Apple, Google pull InstaAgent app for reportedly storing passwords on unknown servers

A third-party app for Instagram that helps users track visitors to their feeds seems to be doing more than that as an iOS developer found that it was stealing people’s logins and passwords. Apple and Google have pulled InstaAgent from their app stores and we’re encouraging you to delete the app if you have it.

David Layer-Reiss, a developer for Peppersoft, found the app has been storing your login details and sending these as plain text to another server. It even uses credentials to log into accounts and post unauthorized images. App creator Turker Bayram apologized for the incident but denies they aren’t saving login information. The app has been the number one free app in both Canada and the United Kingdom recently, according to MacRumors.

New Xbox One experience update powered by Windows 10 available now

I woke up this morning to find that an entirely new user interface for my Xbox One downloaded and installed overnight. Still groggy from my Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider marathon the night before, it took me a while to reorient myself to the new experience. 

Aside from rearranging the look and feel of the Xbox One interface, Microsoft says the re-imagined Xbox One experience is faster and more social and now powered by Windows 10.  An added bonus, all Xbox One owners can play select Xbox 360 games on Xbox One at no additional cost with Xbox One Backward Compatibility (provided you already own the games to begin with, ok). If you have auto updates enabled in your Xbox One, the update should already be installed or coming later today. It's magical. More information can be found here.
