(1º§)According to hacking news website GBHackers, two bugs discovered by researchers could let attackers take control of people's accounts. WhatsApp has fixed the two "critical" security threats, which affect both the Android and iOS versions of the chat app.

(2º§)However, if you've not updated to the latest version of the app, you are still vulnerable. "Both vulnerabilities are marked under 'critical' severity ... and were found by the WhatsApp internal security team," GBHackers wrote.

(3º§)They added that hackers could exploit the flaws to hack your device using a dodgy video file or when on a video call. Once they've gained access to your phone, they could launch malware, steal sensitive data or even take control of the device.

(4º§)WhatsApp confirmed that it had fixed the bugs in an alert on its website. It named them CVE-2022-36934 and CVE-2022-27492.

(5º§)Details on the vulnerabilities are scarce in order to not give too much information away to crooks before users have updated. However, WhatsApp said that the exploitation of CVE-2022-36934 "could result in remote code execution in an established video call." CVE-2022-27492, on the other hand, "could have caused remote code execution when receiving a crafted video file."

(6º§)To protect yourself, make sure you're using the latest version of WhatsApp. To update your iPhone go to the Settings app and then press General.

(7º§)The next step is to select Software Update and your device should then meet the new requirements. If you use an Android, open Settings and select About Phone.

(8º§)Then press Check for Updates and if an update is available, a button will appear which says Update. After selecting Install Now, Reboot, or Install System Software, you should be good to go.

Legendary shoe shop to shut store for good as string of locations have already disappeared in 'end for high street'


(1º§) The retailer, which has more than 300 stores, has confirmed it'll shut for good at High Street in Newcastle under Lyme by the end of 2023. It comes after Clarks announced that it'll pull down the shutters in High Street Inverness before the end of this month. It'll also shut in Westwood Cross Shopping Centre in Kent in mid-November.


(2º§) Several Clarks stores closed earlier this year too, with its branch in Fareham Shopping Centre shutting on August 5 and the Dundee store closing on July 25. Before this, it closed the doors on two stores in Kent in Ashford and Gillingham at the end of 2022. Shoppers have reacted with disappointment at the Newcastle closure, with one writing on social media: "The end of the high street it's all gone now." While another added: "Another one so sad." And a third said: "I can't cope with this."


(3º§) A Clarks spokesperson told The Sun: "We have a strong duty of care to all our employees, and we are working closely with the store team as they now go through a period of consultation. "Customers can continue to shop from our full range of products online and at our nearby Clarks stores in Leek, Crewe and Nantwich, as well as our outlet store in Talke." The popular footwear chain was founded in 1825 and operated across over 1,400 stores and franchises internationally at its peak. But as of July 2023, the brand had just 320 stores.


(4º§) Clarks brought in management consultants McKinsey & Co to help with restructuring plans after posting a £82.9million post-tax loss in 2019. It was then rescued from the brink of collapse with a £100million investment deal by private equity firm LionRock Capital.


(5º§) A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was agreed which saw the Clarks family lose overall control of the company. A CVA allows firms that have run out of cash to look at ways to save the business, such as reducing rent rates with landlords. Companies often agree to a CVA to avoid insolvency, which can lead to closures or the whole business going bust.


(6º§) More than 50 stores were set to close following this announcement in November 2020 - but dozens more have shut since then. All is not lost for shoppers though, as the retailer has also relocated and opened new shops in recent months. The brand opened a new store on East Street in Taunton in April following the closure of its original high street store.


(7º§) Clarks also opened up a new store in Newcastle's Eldon Square shopping centre on May 14. Meanwhile, fellow footwear retailer Shoezone is pulling down the shutters on another store in its latest round of closures. Plus, we have the full list of 78 shops closing this week including Wetherspoons and House of Fraser. The cost of living crisis on top of a rise in online shopping has made it tougher than ever for businesses to keep physical stores open. Retailers and shoppers alike are also hit hard by stubbornly high energy costs and inflation.

Text 1A15


    Last year, I had a strange dream. My father and I were walking through a canal with difficulty as thousands of fish were released around us. In the dream, I knew that the fish thought they were drowning, as if they had to face death before becoming adults. The next day, my father told me that when I was three, he had taken me to see fish being put into a pond. I could not remember it, but the vision had stayed in my mind. Memories, like images, can return years later in unexpected ways.

    Today, it is common to see old images suddenly appear online. We spend hours looking at photos that record our daily lives in ways never seen before. For young people under twenty-five, who have grown up with social media, childhood is no longer private or mysterious. According to Kate Eichhorn, a media historian at the New School, this constant exposure is sure to affect how identity develops, although we are not yet sure exactly how.

    Eichhorn explains that there are two sides. On the positive side, children and teenagers have more control than before. In the past, adults were the ones who decided how childhood should be remembered, using books, photo albums, or home videos. Today, young people can create and share their own images without depending on adults. This gives them the power to tell their own stories and decide what to remember about their lives.

    On the negative side, social media can make it difficult to leave the past behind. We are not the only ones posting—our friends and families also share moments of our lives, often without asking us. This makes it hard to forget mistakes or change identities. Eichhorn warns that the danger now is not that childhood disappears, but that it might never end, because the past is always visible online.

    It would, indeed, be surprising if we could see painful memories as finished and gone. But most difficult experiences are not captured on screens. Social media shows only part of life, often the happy or triumphant side, and leaves out the tears and struggles. What remains online is rarely the full truth, but fragments that stay with us, shaping how we remember ourselves.
