Even If You Uninstall Google Photos App, It Will Keep SynchronizingYour Pics On Cloud




Nothing worse roll us not to be aware of when a device keeps going up personal information to the cloud or any other type of storage beyond our control. And something happens to Google Photos and mania still synchronize everything we took with our mobile even when we have installed on our smartphone or tablet application.


Saved cloud of Google

The story is roughly as follows. Some users have found that once removed from your mobile or tablet application Google Photos , concern still see quite how photos and videos obtained from the terminal just available in the cloud service of the Mountain View.

Is something like "remove the app from my mobile Android and Google remains committed to catch me everything I have on the phone. " Well, you must know that this is not true because Google Photos is a single viewer and organizer of everything we have in the cloud, and not the reason for that content to be there or will be updated every day.

In the oldest in the safe place that comes to my mind the account options Google brings Android series since its inception, and once inside we have active on your terminal see a lot of services that are managed from it.

How do I remove the automatic rise?

Among the options in this menu we manage Google account is that of sync contacts , calendars, and applications ... upload photos automatically. This is where you must act, telling the device to our account Google does not want to see anything in the cloud , so to disable root be cut any further rise.


Yes, but this option has traditionally been in the account menu Google , with Android M has changed its placement, leaving him to deactivate the rise in the menu of Backup .

In other versions of the OS of Google thing is more or less as usual, with specific options off camera rises to the cloud if we want, have or not the application of Photos in our terminal.So you know, if you no longer do you use the photographic manager of Mountain View , the photos and videos that might be coming to carry forth a cloud but be aware of it.

Researcher Circumvents NoScript Firefox Through Google Cloud


A researcher has managed to circumvent the popular Firefox extension NoScript by using the Google cloud. NoScript is an extension that can block JavaScript and other code on websites. It thus prevents malicious code on a compromised Web site can be started or ads, trackers and active content are automatically loaded.

The add-on protects both security and privacy. More than 2.2 million Firefox users have installed NoScript, making it one of the most popular extensions for Firefox. NoScript also allows users to set up a whitelist domains. Scripts in this domain will be run automatically. Some areas are already standard on the NoScript whitelist, such as Mozilla, YouTube, Google and Yahoo.

This concerns not only the fields, but also the sub-domains under the domain. Besides google.com also scripts on voorbeeld.google.com automatically accepted by NoScript. Recently discovered researcher Matthew Bryant that one of the areas that had expired stood on the NoScript whitelist and thus was available to everyone. Bryant registered the domain and placed here Javascript code, which automatically performed by NoScript. The developer of NoScript came with an update so that the domain from the default whitelist has been removed.

The publication of Bryant urged another researcher to look for a new opportunity, as well as subdomains of whitelisted domains attack vector for an attack can be used. Researcher Linus Sarud saw that the domain googleapis.com standard in the whitelist, meaning that script code storage.googleapis.com this is done by default. Through this domain, users can host files as they use the Google cloud storage. Another researcher named Mathias Karlsson worked out the idea and came up with code that NoScript was again defeated.

The problem has been fixed by the domain googleapis.com change to the whitelist in ajax.googleapis.com . However, subdomains are still automatically whitelist. Users of NoScript, however, can delete the default whitelist and only own domains to this place.
