BlackBerry’s Android BBM app attracts ‘potentially fake’ reviews

Screen grab/Google Play storeBlackBerry denied it had anything to do with "potentially fake" reviews of the BlackBerry Messenger for Android app on the Google Play store and said it is working with Google to get to resolve the problem.

BlackBerry won a rare bit of praise earlier this week when it finally released its standalone BlackBerry Messenger app for iPhone and Android devices to huge demand.

Screen grab/Twitter/Matt Baxter-ReynoldsBBM is "user friendly" and "smooth." At least according to these "potentially fake" reviews.

The mobile instant-messaging app was downloaded more than 10 million times in the first 24 hours, BlackBerry said, and many users were so pleased they decided to post glowing reviews of the software online.
Problem with some of the reviews appearing in the Google Play app store, however, was that they looked oddly familiar to one another. Well, nearly identical really.
One particularly observant tech analyst and blogger first spotted the fishy “reviews” and posted a screen grab on Twitter, seen at right, showing a series of seemingly different users making nearly the exact same, poorly written comment:
“Thank you so much blackberry team. I was waiting this app. Its really great user friendly and smooth.”

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about one-third of computers around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an...
