Nelly Furtado has announced she is quitting music and will no longer be doing live performances. She issued a statement saying it’s a decision that comes following a wave of body-shaming comments. The news was shared on Instagram, saying that while she’s grateful for her 25 year career, she now feels it’s time to ‘step away’ to focus on ‘other creative and personal endeavors.’
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an Android attack that can steal private chats, emails, and two-factor authentication codes. After users install a malicious app, it accesses screen pixels, performs graphical operations until optical character recognition extracts text from visuals. Researchers informed Google earlier this year and a patch was released last month, but researchers found a workaround. Google is planning another patch in December.
Scientists have discovered that the Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth, meaning that days are slowly getting longer. Researchers used sediments from a 90-million-year-old rock formation to analyse the Earth’s relationship to the moon 1.4 billion years ago. The study concluded that back then, a day on Earth lasted just over 18 hours because the Moon was much nearer to us. 200 million years from now, days on Earth will be a full hour longer, lasting 25 hours.
