Once installed by a malicious person, without you being aware that your phone is being hacked, the EventBot-Infected fake app might quietly affect all passwords by putting them off affecting more than 200 banking apps with additional cryptocurrency apps such as, HSBC, PayPal, CapitalOne and Coinbase.

Twitter is testing a new threaded conversation layout on iOS and the web
Twitter has started testing a new threaded conversation layout that’s meant to make it more obvious who’s talking to whom. Based on the GIF posted by the Twitter Support account, the new layout makes use of lines and indentations to clearly indicate that a reply is meant for a specific tweet. As TechCrunch notes, it looks particularly useful for longer threads where participants go back-and-forth and where people post responses to several separate tweets.
The platform has been experimenting with this layout over the past year on its prototype app twttr, TC says, and app researcher Jane Manchun Wong posted a demo on her account in early April. Wong’s demo shows that clicking on a tweet in the threaded layout expands it and gives you an easy way to post a response to it.
