Bring Light Back to the Universe in Lumi, iPad version now on App Store
Foundation Games announced the release of Lumi for the iPad on the Apple App Store. This beautifully designed action-puzzle game appoints players with the task of restoring peace to save the universe with the help of a small but powerful creature – Lumi. Lumi will also shine its way onto the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch from December 20.
“Lumi immerses players in a rich story, told with high-definition graphics, to create a unique iOS gaming experience,” says Aron Beierschmitt, founder of Foundation Games. “We wanted to provide eye-catching artwork and ease of gameplay normally reserved for consoles, and with Lumi you get all that, plus addictive gaming, in the palm of your hand.”
Faced with bringing light back to a darkened universe, Lumi is the only one with the ability to reverse the encroaching darkness. Use Lumi’s powers based on magnetism and light to venture through a darkened world in an effort to save your friends and restore peace throughout the lands. Constantly facing ever-evolving dangers, Lumi must glide past icebergs and vine-strewn jungles, collecting fireflies to brighten and revive Light Trees to restore light in the universe. Fire Lumi out of cannons to reveal new pathways and advance in levels by manipulating Lumi’s magnetism. Repel the darkness while facing increasingly dangerous enemies who want the universe to remain in the dark. By defeating these foes and reviving the Light Trees, you’ll watch the world return to lush beauty. Read more

2012 Cyber Security Predictions from the Websense
Websense predicts cybercriminals will use cyber-antics during the U.S. presidential election and will turn cell phones into ATMs
With all of the crazy 2011 security breaches, exploits and notorious hacks, what can we expect for 2012? We asked the top researchers of the Websense Security Labs to take a few minutes and provide their top predictions for the coming year. Last year’s Websense Security Labs predictions were very accurate, so these predictions should provide very useful guidance for security professionals.
1. Your social media identity may prove more valuable to cybercriminals than your credit cards. Bad guys will actively buy and sell social media credentials in online forums.
Trust is the basis of social networking, so if a bad guy compromises your social media log-ins, there is a good chance they can manipulate your friends. Which leads us to prediction #2. Read more
