Sign up here<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n A mysterious iOS attack changes everything we know<\/a> about iPhone hacking<\/strong><\/p>\n Apple's iPhone has long been considered one of the most challenging devices to hack, in part because it's usually done by highly sophisticated groups targeting an individual. But a group of Google researchers discovered that, for two years, someone has been indiscriminately hacking thousands of iPhones just by getting their owners to visit a website. The hack takes advantage of not just one but 14 security flaws, and it ultimately gave the attackers complete control of the phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n This DIY implant<\/a> lets you stream movies from your leg<\/strong><\/p>\n An implantable device about the size of a pack of gum, called PegLeg, serves as a combined wireless router and hard drive. That doesn't sound weird, until you learn that the device is meant to be surgically inserted into your leg<\/a>. Any Wi-Fi enabled device can access it, and the device can store hundreds of gigabytes of data, stream movies or music, or smuggle encrypted files across international borders. It raises a thorny question: Who is responsible for the data stored in someone's body?<\/p>\n That's how much money ride-hail juggernauts Uber and Lyft have put into fighting a California law<\/a> that would force them to treat their drivers as employees. The money will be used to fund a 2020 state ballot measure that would create an alternate classification for drivers, giving them some protections without acknowledging them as employees.<\/p>\n Two more Kindles have joined the lineup in 2019, so whether you're looking to get one for the first time or your old one is looking a little shoddy, here's how to choose the right one for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n Did you notice WIRED.com looks a little different now?
