<div> <div> <div> <p>The world of technology is changing. It used to be one where users could post on social media, order clothes online, and play mobile games without a care in the world. As time progressed, companies eventually realized that they could collect small pieces of information from a user’s technological habits, and use that to form a profile of the user of some sort. Such a profile could be used for marketing, grouping, or even just to sell-off. I conducted a study of mobile device application developers, specifically relating to iOS third-party applications. This is more of a hidden loophole in the “security” of Apple’s iOS. This is important to the field of data privacy because many users use third-party applications without the knowledge of what data is being taken and when it is being taken. I used a packet-monitoring service to listen in on third-party applications and wrote a script to filter out relevant pieces of data that were being sent back to an application’s server. The findings of this study concluded that third-party iOS applications have unmonitored power to access pieces of information like contacts, location, and emails. </p> </div> </div> </div>

In every field, during a particular era, there is someone who stands up to a cause. There is a “North Star” in the sky to guide the “navigator” who might erringly go astray to reach the destination. The star gives direction through sheer stability. Consumer analytics as such is widely accepted throughout the world. It especially has a firm footing in enriching user experience thanks to the gigantic data collection exercise. The popularity seems to have stemmed from the fact that analytics is the real “navigator” based on data facts and the panacea for the business problems and leads the way forward whenever required. Customer journey analytics is a key instrument in the profitability framework. It also aims to provide a view of customers that is essentially dynamic in nature and other key data points observed during the life cycle of a customer. It further covers ahead of the prevailing product ownership and user data for inculcating the information such as digital channel interactions, social media, voice-of-the-consumer interactions, sentiment analysis, and more.

The COVID-19 pandemic has swapped the world, causing enormous cases, which led to high mortality rates across the globe. Internet of Things (IoT) based social distancing techniques and many current and emerging technologies have contributed to the fight against the spread of pandemics and reduce the number of positive cases. These technologies generate massive data, which will pose a significant threat to data owners’ privacy by revealing their lifestyle and personal information since that data is stored and managed by a third party like a cloud. This paper provides a new privacy-preserving scheme based on anonymization using an improved slicing technique and implying distributed fog computing. Our implementation shows that the proposed approach ensures data privacy against a third party intending to violate it for any purpose. Furthermore, our results illustrate our scheme’s efficiency and effectiveness.

Social Media has become one of the major industries in the world. It has been noted that almost three fourth of the world's population use social media. This has instigated many researches towards social media. One such useful application is the sentimental analysis of real time social media data for security purposes. The insights that are generated can be used by law enforcement agencies and for intelligence purposes. There are many types of analyses that have been done for security purposes. Here, the authors propose a comprehensive software application which will meticulously scrape data from Twitter and analyse them using the lexicon based analysis to look for possible threats. They propose a methodology to obtain a quantitative result called criticality to assess the level of threat for a public event. The results can be used to understand people's opinions and comments with regard to specific events. The proposed system combines this lexicon based sentimental analysis along with deep data collection and segregates the emotions into different levels to analyse the threat for an event.
