Vatican City, Oct 19, 2019 Vatican’s latest attempt at directing the millennials to the almighty, the eRosary wearable device, has been marred with a very Earthly problem- cybersecurity issues. As Cnet reports, security researcher Baptiste Robert found that the ‘Click to Pray’ eRosary app contains a bug that would have allowed a hacker to take over user’s account just by knowing the registered email address. Robert reached out to the Vatican and the issue has since been fixed. Source: ANI

California [USA], Oct 19, 2019 Apple is reportedly working on a wearable device that would fit on a finger and work as a smartwatch or health monitor. Based on the patent application filed by the iPhone maker with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the electronic ring computing device will feature a touchscreen, wireless transceiver, processor, sensors, and a rechargeable power source. The purported smart ring will be controlled by touch and gestures such as flicking between apps or menu. The patent was originally filed in 2015 and it is unclear if this will become a commercial Apple product. Source: ANI
