SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -

A Shreveport man is recovering after a group of employees temporarily ditched their day jobs to pull the man from his burning home.

The four employees noticed flames coming from a home on Lincoln Street around 8:00 Wednesday morning.

First there was smoke, then an explosion of flames came bursting through this home, "saw smoke just billowing black smoke coming out of the front door, said Doug Pierrelee.

The employees right next door at Sentinel Group were loading up their trucks for the work day when their duty switched from securing to saving a life.

"Me and Jason jumped in the vehicle, and took off over there, Galli came up running behind us and jumped over the fence, and he was calling 911 at the same time we were over there," said Pierrelee.

According to Pierrelee the men didn't wait on a fire rescue crew to arrive, they got right to work.

I didn't even see a body and then Jason said there is a body right there in the doorway, then immediately we pulled him on his stomach into the grass says Pierrelee.

Instead of resting, the men approached the flame bound home once more.

"Started yelling for people and we crawled into the house a little bit, it was just saw black and you could hardly breathe, crawled back out and went around the home, asking is anybody home is anybody home, recalls Pierrelee.

Want to turn your iPhone into a home security camera? Theres an app for that.

Cloud-based video monitoring service Manything has relaunched a somewhat creepy app that lets Apple users turn their unused iPhones, iPods and iPads into remote controlled live stream cameras, complete with motion alerts.Users can also remotely switch off the power and control audio and the devices flashlight tool.

Cameras can be controlled by the app or from Manythings website.

Manything says its product is a cheaper alternative to pricey security hardware that could put $14 billion worth of old, unused iPhones to use. The app is currently free, though the company plans on launching a monthly subscription plan next year.

Manything users record more than 2-1/2 years of video per day, and are growing at a rate of 45% per month, the UK-based company said.

Residents have been warned to think about how they protect their valuable jewellery after the latest in a spate of Asian gold thefts at a property in New Haw.

Thieves targeted a home in Pinewood Avenue between 8am and 1.45pm last Thursday (November 6).

After what detectives described as a thorough search of the house, they stole gold jewellery, cash and an iPad.

Police are now looking for a man of Asian appearance who was seen in the area, wearing a red baseball cap, on Thursday.

Detective Constable Nicola Bartholomew said: This offence took place during the day and we feel sure someone must have seen or heard something.

If you noticed anything unusual, please do give us a call so we can progress our investigation.

"We would also like to hear from anyone who may have been approached or has information relating to Asian gold jewellery.

Asian gold burglaries have increased in recent years, particularly with the high price of gold.

Sometimes called Indian gold, Asian gold is a broad term that covers jewellery bought and held by south Asian families, often passed down through generations.

In September, a family in Ashford lost more than 40,000 of jewellery in a burglary.

A new report on point-of-sale malware presents the most detailed examination of the malicious code behind high-profile attacks against US retailers to date.

Cyphort Labs in-depth look focuses on Target, Home Depot and UPS breaches and involved an analysis of BlackPOS, FrameworkPOS and Backoff malware samples. The researchers concluded that the attackers had acquired a good understanding of their targets, and that defences need fundamental rethink.

Backoff is the most advanced malware strain of the trio, not only because it's designed to attack a broad spectrum of point-of-sale (PoS) systems, but it also has slippery evasion features that make it harder to detect.

FrameworkPOS and BlackPOS, by contrast, resemble off-the-shelf software, tailored specifically for dedicated targets. Backoff, BlackPOS and FrameworkPOS are associated with the security breaches against UPS, Target, and Home Depot, respectively.

Cyphort concludes that the attackers behind the Target and Home Depot moves already had a good idea of the target network they were attacking before bringing PoS into play, a finding supported by conclusions from other researchers that the two retailers were hit through attacks that began against third-party suppliers.

An estimated 56m bank cards were swiped as the result of malware on its tills, Home Depot has admitted. The earlier Target breach resulted in the exposure of 40m credit and debit cards. Both breaches also resulted in the leak of personal information of millions of shoppers.

The POS malware strains analysed by Cyphort have also been used in attacks against other retailers, including Dairy Queen and Neiman Marcus. Cyphort Labs hopes its analysis will put security defenders in a better position to defend against possible follow-up attacks.

"The Target, Home Depot and UPS breaches made headlines because of the size and scope of proprietary information stolen, but also because these companies are household names," said Dr Fengmin Gong, Cyphorts co-founder and chief architect.

"[We] hope the findings will benefit security professionals and researchers so they can better understand specific patterns of behaviour being carried out in these attacks," he added.
