Top Social, Video And Chat/Messaging Apps For You This Quarantine Season

Best Social Apps for your mobile

Facebook

Facebook is still undeniably the best social media app still available

Twitter

If you’re not on Twitter yet, you really should jump on the bandwagon. Even if you never post anything, you can get a lot of useful info by following the right people or companies on Twitter. Actually, I get better customer service from companies by posting on Twitter than by calling or emailing nowadays.

LinkedIn

Even if you work for yourself, you should have a profile on LinkedIn. It’s the best social networking site for professionals. Companies use LinkedIn like crazy for finding good talent, so keep tabs on your connections via the app.

Pinterest

I’m not a huge user of Pinterest, but that makes me an exception. Pinterest has huge traffic numbers and people seem to love it. Find interesting stuff whatever your interests might be.

Best Messaging apps for your mobile

Google Hangouts

Hangouts is great for anyone who uses Gmail and other Google services. It lets you chat with your buddies and do video calls with groups of people. Not a very great chatting app if you really think about it, but since it’s Google, it’s useful.

WhatsApp

If Facebook paid $16 billion for it, you should probably use it. Just kidding, but very useful for anyone who has family outside of the US because the rest of the uses WhatsApp for messaging.

Facebook Messenger

You can use stickers, make free calls, record voice messages and send free text messages. Messenger is a pretty useful app for keeping in touch with people. Also, it’s Facebook, so everyone you know in the world will be on it.

Snapchat

If you’re a teenager, then go ahead and download as you’ll probably want to share inappropriate pictures of yourself with other inappropriate teenagers. Good luck.

Best Online Video/Movie Apps for your mobile

YouTube

It only has the most videos in one place in the entire world. Definitely have to download the YouTube app and catch up on whatever crazy viral video is floating around the web that day.

Netflix

If you have a Netflix subscription, then you’ll want the iPhone app so you can binge-watch Breaking Bad or House of Cards.

Amazon Instant Video

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, then you’ll want the Instant Video app to watch all that free content Amazon offers.

IMDB

Absolutely the best app for getting information about an actor, movie, TV show or anything related to movies and television. A must if you watch any TV or movies at all.

Fandango

Awesome app for getting local showtimes and watching movie trailers. Pretty much the same as Flixter, but I like this app better.

Best Photo Sharing Apps for your mobile

flickr

The flickr app lets you browse your Flickr photos and also lets you upload everything from your iPhone up to their free 1 TB storage account. If you take a lot of photos, this is a great option. It’s also got filters and editing tools, so you can fix up your photos before uploading to flickr, Twitter or Facebook.

Instagram

It’s hard not to find a friend who isn’t using Instagram. Even though Facebook bought them, they are still one of the most popular photo sharing apps out there.

Snapseed

The above-mentioned apps are mostly related to photo viewing and storage, but Snapseed is good for photo effects. You can transform and adjust photos with the many options and tools this app includes all for free.

Photo Editor by Aviary

Another free app, but this one has in-app purchases if you want more effects than just the basic ones. The free version has a lot of features and more than enough to create some pretty cool edited photos.

VSCO Cam

Again, like the photo app by Aviary, you get a basic set of filters and can purchase more via in-app purchases. The program uses some advanced technology to add stunning effects to your photos.

Alone, A Woman Carried Out One Of The Biggest Hacking In Modern History

A hacker responsible for breaching the data of over 100 million Capital One customers was arrested Monday after boasting about what she did online .

The suspect is accused of stealing data from millions of customers , including Social Security numbers, linked bank accounts, and other personal information, Capital One disclosed Monday.

The Justice Department identified the suspect as Paige Thompson, a software engineer in Seattle who formerly worked for Amazon. She was caught after she was found to have been boasting after the Capital One hack online, court documents say.

Thompson could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

Here's everything we know about Paige Thompson, the suspect behind the Capital One hack affecting 100 million customers:
Paige Thompson is a 33-year-old software engineer. She's known online by her alias "erratic."

According to Thompson's resume found online, she attended Bellevue Community College in Washington in 2005. However, she left after a little more than a year to pursue a career opportunity.

Thompson was arrested Monday in Seattle, where she resides. Since leaving college, she's worked as a software and systems engineer at various companies in the Seattle area.

Most recently, Thompson worked as a systems engineer for Amazon's cloud software business, Amazon Web Services, which Capital One uses. An Amazon spokesperson told Bloomberg that she last worked there in 2016.

A "firewall misconfiguration" left Capital One's cloud servers vulnerable, which Thompson was able to access. She worked on Amazon's cloud products when she was employed there, but an Amazon spokesperson told Bloomberg the hack didn't require insider knowledge.

According to the Department of Justice, Thompson posted about her data breach on GitHub, a website for developers to share code. A GitHub user, only identified as an "external security researcher," saw what Thompson had shared, and tipped off Capital One.

Further investigation by Capital One and the FBI found more instance where Thompson had boasted about her hack. The FBI found she has posted about it in Slack, Twitter, and Meetup.

On Twitter, where she goes by the alias "erratic," Thompson sent a direct message reading, ""Ive basically strapped myself with a bomb vest, f------ dropping capital ones box and admitting it."

Thompson is charged with one count of computer fraud and abuse. If convicted, she could face a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
