    Do you think that businesses apply the Principle of Least Privilege?

    about a year ago, i launched a website and wrote the code very well secured but someone from Karachi Pakistan hacked it and posted lots of bad things, i had no idea until now about how he/They hacked it but got an idea after reading this article. for sure the design matters.

    Is the business model of the web fatally flawed?

    I learned a lot this week but had hard time installing Android Studio and running BuggyTheApp. This week was awesome.

    Introducing BuggyTheApp

    My Android Studio says!
    Migrate this Project to Gradle? This Project doesn't use the Gradle build System.

    What is it?

    What's next?

    As far as i know, you need to have a little bit knowledge about coding in Java but don't worry you will still learn enough. We all will work together. This course is very interesting.

    Facebook messenger always asks for permission to read my contracts list but since I have Facebook account and believe that Facebook won't steal anything from me, so allow messenger to perform its functions but still think that why does Facebook Messenger needs my contracts list?

    What do you consider an unacceptable loss?

    I personally use Google Drive as my personal HDD, Google has very strong security and protects data for good. I don't let people use either my phone or laptop just because I don't wanna lose my data. So keep your device in good hands.

    The best way to write a secure code is to have run time and static code checkers.

    What do you mean by "Restrict an Application's permission?
    I use an Android Device 5.1.1 and some of the applications always ask me for permission to read my contacts.
    Is it a kind of threat?

    What do you consider an unacceptable loss?

    The term "Unacceptable loss" actually refers to the values of the data you have in your device, it can be your personal pictures, business emails, Credit Cards details, Passwords and accounts, but for me the "Unacceptable loss" is my Facebook account, email and Google Drive pictures and emails.
