Facebook to alert you against nation-state hacks

October 20, 2015October 20, 2015 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Facebook posts on its page that they will be alerting you if they think the government is trying to breach your account.

“While we have always taken steps to secure accounts that we believe to have been compromised, we decided to show this additional warning if we have a strong suspicion that an attack could be government-sponsored. We do this because these types of attacks tend to be more advanced and dangerous than others, and we strongly encourage affected people to take the actions necessary to secure all of their online accounts, the announcement said.”

With that said, the Login Approvals will make sure that no one else could gain access to your account by blocking other devices trying to do so. If someone wants to log in, Facebook will send a code directly to your registered phone that needs to be inputted before successfully logging in. This ensures that only you and anyone you authorize could have access to your account.

Twitter removing 140-character limit from DMs

June 12, 2015June 12, 2015 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

In an attempt to improve its Direct Messages feature, Twitter today announces that it will be removing its 140-character limit when sending private messages.

The company encourages users to take the following actions to make the update as seamless as possible:

Review the new API additions below.
Update your GET requests so you will be able to receive the full length of DM text.
Adjust your app UI to accommodate longer DM text.

Although the update won’t take effect until Twitter launches it this July, they are recommending to test the above procedure in advance. Meanwhile, public tweets still remain to be limited to 140 characters.

API updates:

REST API
DM read endpoints (GET direct_messages57, GET direct_messages/sent13 and GET direct_messages/show13)
Send “full_text=true” as a query parameter to receive long DM text. If this parameter is not provided, you will get a truncated version of the DM. There will be no structural changes to the response returned by these endpoints.
DM write endpoint (POST direct_messages/new8)
The “text” parameter will start accepting text longer than 140 characters. The new limit for DMs will be 10k characters.
Streaming API
User Streams (GET user20) and Site Streams (GET site6) will automatically start receiving DMs that have text longer than 140 characters. Unlike the REST API, no additional parameter is needed. There will be no structural changes to the objects returned by these endpoints.
