  Europe still has concerns about privacy in Windows 10

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 7:01pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Privacy fears abound with Windows 10, with individuals and privacy groups continually questioning the company's motives in gathering user data. The threat of a court case in Switzerland resulted in Microsoft making changes to Windows -- in addition to the privacy changes it had already made. But for European privacy watchdogs, the latest batch of changes are still not enough. The Article 29 Working Party voices concern about the settings that are in place by default, the lack of control users are given over data collection, and a general lack of transparency. The group wrote to Microsoft last year to… [Continue Reading]

  Messaging apps are not just about chatting these days. Every player that counts wants to bring something extra to the table to keep users hooked and attract new ones in the process. WhatsApp is no different, as it is now rolling out an updated status feature that lets users share more than just basic messages. "We are excited to announce that, coinciding with WhatsApp's eight birthday on February 24, we are reinventing the status feature", says WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum. The update gives users the option to also share photos and videos. The new functionality is implemented in a secure way,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 6:06pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  For Indian shoppers, Flipkart is a very well known online retailer. For smartphone buyers in particular, the internet shop is a great place to get quality Android devices at affordable prices. Today, Flipkart announces something that should improve its shopping experience; the Indian retailer has selected Microsoft Azure for its cloud platform. While this won't be particularly visible to shoppers, Microsoft's platform should be a behind-the-scenes win for the overall customer experience. "Starting with computing infrastructure, Microsoft Azure will ultimately add a layer of advanced cloud technologies and analytics to Flipkart's existing datacenters. Microsoft's strong presence in India, along with its global scale,… [Continue Reading]

  You almost certainly need an SD card for your Nintendo Switch

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 5:50pm CET par Mark Wilson

  If you've ordered yourself a Nintendo Switch you had better prepare to crack open your wallet and splash out on an SD card. Nintendo has shared details of the size of the console's digital games, and at least one of them simply won’t fit on the internal storage. The company reveals that Dragon Quest Heroes I·II weighs in at a sizeable 32 GB -- exactly the same size as the Switch's built in storage, which is already home to the required system files. Other games are big enough to mean that even if you're not interested in Dragon Quest Heroes… [Continue Reading]

  Kim Dotcom can be extradited to the US

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 1:36pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Kim Dotcom, the larger-than-life character behind file-sharing services Megaupload and Mega, can be extradited from New Zealand to the US. The German national has taken up permanent residency in New Zealand and has been fighting calls for him to face the US legal system. The judgement came as part of an appeal to a previous ruling which was heard back in September. While the judge today, on the face of things, has ruled against Dotcom, the court case could yet go in favor of him due to various technicalities. A statement issued by Dotcom's barrister says: "The High Court has… [Continue Reading]

  New certification to verify cyber threat detection skills

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 1:13pm CET par Ian Barker

  Cyber security is an increasingly essential skill set, but it can be hard for businesses to verify that they're employing people with the right abilities. The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is launching a new, vendor-neutral certification. CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CSA+) is the first of its kind to bring behavioral analytics to the forefront of assessing cyber threats. The CSA+ certification will offer a broad-spectrum validation of the knowledge and skills required to configure and use cyber-threat detection tools, perform data analysis and interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organization. It certifies knowledge of a… [Continue Reading]

  Google and Microsoft agree to demote search results for pirated movies, music and streaming sport

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 12:18pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Users of Google and Bing will find it more difficult to track down illegal content via the search engines after Google and Microsoft signed up to a voluntary code of practice. The deal means that pirate search results will be demoted in results in the UK, making it less likely that searchers will click on them. The two technology companies have been in talks with the entertainment industry to find a way to stem the flow of illegal content that's available online. As well as protecting the rights of copyright holders, it is hoped that the new arrangement will help… [Continue Reading]

  IBM and Visa want your IoT devices to double as point of sale terminals

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 11:23am CET par Sead Fadilpai

  IBM and Visa want every Internet-connected device you own to be its own point of sale. The two companies announced the industry’s first collaboration to achieve this, through IBM’s Watson for IoT platform and Visa’s token technology. Visa is currently powering 60 percent of the entire world’s payments and IBM’s Watson really needs no particular introduction. For example, you could be using your car to pay for gas. No cash, no cards, no phones. Or, your running sneakers could be able to purchase you new ones, when these sense they can no longer be used. "IoT is literally changing the world… [Continue Reading]

  Sysinternals updates Autoruns, Process Explorer, Process Monitor, more

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 11:20am CET par Mike Williams

  Following yesterday’s Sysmon 6 release, Microsoft Sysinternals has announced new releases of Autoruns, Process Explorer, Process Monitor, AccessChk, LiveKD and BgInfo. Autoruns now lists print monitors, the DLLs responsible for sending data from the Windows print spooler to the kernel mode print driver. We tried this on a Windows 10 laptop and found 10 installed monitors, mostly relating to PDF and other virtual printers. Unfortunately, Autoruns listed every monitor DLL as a "file not found", even for standard Windows files which definitely existed, and were stored in the usual locations. This could be a bug: if you see the same… [Continue Reading]

  Detect and block Mac ransomware with Little Flocker

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 10:21am CET par Mike Williams

  Windows ransomware may make all the headlines, but other platforms are vulnerable too. The first Mac ransomware was uncovered last year, and it’s only a matter of time before the next one strikes. Little Flocker ($19.95) protects your Mac with a firewall-like file system monitor, enabling you to decide which apps have access to confidential files and system resources. The program monitors applications, raising alerts if something wants to read or write a protected file. If you don’t recognize the process or you’re not currently trying to access that file, deny permission and the request will be blocked. If you’re… [Continue Reading]

  Google publishes details of Windows bug after Microsoft misses 90-day Project Zero disclosure deadline

  Publié: février 20, 2017, 10:14am CET par Mark Wilson

  Google's Project Zero has proved controversial on several occasions already, with the search giant publicly revealing details of software bugs when companies fail to fix them. Now the project has unearthed a bug in Windows, and as Microsoft failed to patch it within 90 days of being notified, details of the flaw have been made available for everyone to see -- and exploit. A problem with the Windows Graphics Component GDI library (gdi32.dll) means that a hacker could use EMF metafiles to access memory and wreak all sorts of havoc. While Microsoft has issued Security Bulletin MS16-074, Google's Mateusz Jurczyk… [Continue Reading]
