Downloading copyrighted movies via torrents is illegal, which we’re sure many of you guys are well-aware of, although admittedly that hasn’t stopped many from continuing to do so, which is why services like Netflix are pretty popular because it means that users won’t have to wait for the delivery of their DVD or Blu-ray since content can be streamed directly.

Interestingly enough it seems that even movie streams can be pirated, which is what Popcorn Time is looking to do. Popcorn Time is a desktop app available for Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, and when installed it allows users to stream movies, all sorts of movies including the latest ones, onto their computer for free!

However we guess it does not come as a surprise that public WiFi isn’t exactly the most secure WiFi that you can connect to, right?

If you’re an avid comic book reader, chances are you might have downloaded the comiXology app for your smartphones or tablets. For those unfamiliar with the app, basically it gives users access to hundreds, if not thousands of comics published by a variety of publishers, including Marvel and DC.

Unfortunately it seems that comiXology had a recent security scare and has since sent out emails to comiXology users asking them to reset their passwords. Now thankfully it seems that payment details were not breached as apparently payment account information was not stored on their servers. (more…)
