![]() Man Stuck Inside ATM Rescued After Slipping Customers Terrifying Notes. Under capitalism, money imprisons us all, but for one man in Corpus Christi, Texas, this arrangement transcended mere metaphor recently. On Wednesday afternoon, the contractor (whose name has not been released) was fixing a lock in a room connected to a Bank of America ATM when, suddenly, he trapped himself in. Having left his phone in the car, he was unable to call for help. So, with an impending Castaway situation at hand, the man had to get creative—or else. Local news outlet KZTV reports the contractor spent the next two hours slipping notes to bank customers at the drive- through ATM that had become his own personal hell. Please call my boss. It’s got to be a joke.” Sadly, not even the police could free the contractor from the ATM’s clutches. They had to wait until the man’s boss arrived at the scene and managed to let him out at last. At least no one was hurt, except, presumably, the man’s dignity.“Everyone is OK, but you will never see this in your life, that somebody was stuck in the ATM,” Olden said. How Google Is Stopping Phishing Attacks from Unverified Apps. Google is stepping up its effort to block phishing attempts that use app permissions to gain access to users’ Gmail accounts. These phishing attacks invite users to grant an app permission to manage their Google account—which lots of safe apps do, too—and then exploit those permissions to take over an account or send spam. To stop these kinds of attacks, Google is adding a screen to the permissions process that will warn users if the app is new or unverified—signs that it might be linked to a phishing attempt. This will help reduce the risk of user data being phished by bad actors,” Google’s Naveen Agarwal and Wesley Chun wrote in a blog post announcing the change. The warning looks a little bit like Chrome’s warning when a site’s HTTPS encryption isn’t trusted. It requires users to click into advanced settings before they can commit to granting permissions to the app. Here’s what the warning will look like: Google recently started requiring new apps to go through a verification process to assess possible risks before being approved. In addition to the new warning system, Google will require some existing apps to undergo the verification process. The warnings and reviews are intended to shore up an area of vulnerability for Gmail users, who may not be aware of the security risks that come with granting permissions to untrusted apps. These kinds of OAuth exploits are on the rise, so it’s good to see Google working to prevent them.
