For years, Trump has been jumping to the defense of bad men.

Facebook wants to be everywhere on the planet, even if that means building the internet itself. To that end, it recently unveiled Terragraph, a millimeter-wavelength, 60Ghz wireless system that can blast the internet through buildings in urban areas….

If you’ve never heard of the app called TeenSafe, there’s a good chance that’s because you’re either not a teen or you’re not a parent. For those unfamiliar, TeenSafe is an app designed to monitor the smartphones of teens by their parents, keeping track of how teens use their phones so that parents have a better idea of what their kids are up to.

The app also bills itself as being a “secure” monitoring app, although that seems rather ironic now because according to a report from ZDNet, the app has accidentally leaked thousands of its users’ account information, which includes Apple ID email addresses, the names of the device of its users (which in some cases were the names of the teens), its unique identifier, and even passwords which were stored in plaintext format.

The leak was originally discovered by UK-based security researcher Robert Wiggins and verified by ZDNet who informed the service of its leaky servers, following which they were pulled offline. In a statement provided to ZDNet, a TeenSafe spokesperson said, “We have taken action to close one of our servers to the public and begun alerting customers that could potentially be impacted.”

It is unclear if hackers might have accessed any of this information before it was discovered, but if you are a parent who uses TeenSafe or knows someone who does, perhaps it might be a good idea to revisit your security settings just to be safe.

PayPal’s presence on the internet is huge where many online retailers offer it as an option for its customers to use when paying for purchases. However in the real world, PayPal has almost zero presence in physical stores, thus missing out on all the potential transaction fees that are happening every second.

However that could change soon, thanks to PayPal’s recent acquisition of a Swedish startup called iZettle. For those unfamiliar with iZettle, not to worry since the company large operates within Europe and Latin America where they are essentially Square’s direct competition. With PayPal acquiring the company, it brings them one step closer to launching their services in physical retail stores.

According to PayPal’s Chief Operating Officer Bill Ready, he told CNBC, “This phenomenon of in-store payments via mobile for small businesses, it’s a global phenomenon and there have been many players in the space. Most of them though have been constrained to one or only a few countries.”

With the acquisition, Ready claims that PayPal is looking to expand iZettle’s availability internationally, although where and when exactly is anyone’s guess. “What I think is quite distinctive about this team is their ability to go serve small businesses on a multinational basis.” Hopefully this means that the next time you walk into a store, you will have the option of using PayPal as one of the payment options.
