2. Bruin Bergmeester lives in a small village in Holland and has built all of his five
Lopifit prototypes in his living room
3. When asked how he came up with the idea, Bruin explains he works full time
and sits all day, so he likes to exercise on a treadmill at home.
4. One day it was lovely outside and Bruin did not fancy spending time on a
bicycle, which meant sit ng again, so he thought to himself: "Why not bring the
treadmill outdoors?" And so the Lopifit was born.
5. When you put your foot on the belt and push it backwards, it makes the shaft
turn. Sensors register the movement and send a signal to a computer, situated
near the storage battery, which then makes a motor turn.
6. Being electrical, the Lopifit runs quite fast and is equally good going uphill. It is
suited for all ages, all leg lengths, and all physical conditions.
7. A bicycle maker from Holland, Utrecht, is available to build them on demand.

FACEBOOK TARGETED BY HACKERS, SAYS NO USER DATA COMPROMISED lOMoAR cPSD| 46884348
1. The attack comes two weeks after Twitter asked 250,000 of its users to
reset their passwords after it too was hacked. In the same week, The New
York Times and The Wall Street Journal also reported being hacked.
2. Facebook said its systems were targeted last month when a handful of employees visited
a mobile developer website that had been compromised. The website allowed malicious
code to be installed on the employees’ laptops, Facebook said in a blog post. It said the
laptops were fully patched and running up-to-date antivirus software.
3. “As soon as we discovered the presence of the malware, we remediated all
infected machines and began a significant investigation that continues to this day,” Facebook said.
4. The company said it had no evidence that any user data was compromised. It did not say
where it thinks the attack originated or who may have conducted it, and a spokesman
reached via email said the company had no further comment at this time.
5. The attack was identified when Facebook’s security team spotted a suspicious domain in
the company’s corporate DNS logs and tracked it back to an employee laptop. After a
malicious file was found on that laptop, the search was expanded companywide and several
other compromised employee laptops were flagged, Facebook said.
6. “After analyzing the compromised website where the attack originated, we
found it was using a ‘zero-day’ (previously unseen) exploit to bypass the Java
sandbox (built-in protections) to install the malware,” Facebook said.
7. It said it immediately reported the exploit to Oracle, which provided a patch on
Feb. 1 to address the vulnerability.
8. The attack was not limited to Facebook. “It is clear that others were attacked and
infiltrated recently as well,” it said. As one of the first companies targeted by the
malware, it said it “immediately took steps to start sharing details about the
infiltration with the other companies and entities that were affected.”
9. Oracle’s Java technology has come under fire recently over security. It
patched some critical vulnerabilities in the platform in mid-January, but still
the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) urged users to
disable browser plug-ins that use Java.
10. Oracle released another patch at the start of February, but did not mention at
the time that the vulnerability had been used to target Facebook. Last week it
said it would release yet more patches on Feb. 19.
