  ADATA unveils rugged XPG SD700X 1TB external USB 3.1 3D NAND SSD

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 6:40pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  While many people run an operating system from a solid state drive nowadays, external storage drives are largely still mechanical. It is not a mystery as to why this is -- the cost per gigabyte is much less. Unfortunately, USB hard disk drives have the same weaknesses as internal variants -- they are slow and prone to mechanical failure. If you can afford it (and don't mind the smaller capacity), a portable SSD is a much better experience. ADATA has a new USB 3.1 (gen 1) SSD that is downright gorgeous. The 3D NAND XPG SD700X external drive is extremely rugged and features… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 6:38pm CET par Marcel Cutts

  Have you seen Star Trek? If you haven’t, you should. One of the pieces of future tech that is quietly on display throughout the show is the ability to talk to the computer. Whether it’s asking the computer where someone is or ordering a cup of earl grey tea, the computer has no problem understanding the questions it is asked, and who’s asking them. Amazon’s Alexa products claim that they are this shining vision of the future! Not only that, you can write your own apps for the platform. Amazing! Right? Well, we’re not quite there yet. So, what are… [Continue Reading]

  Three-quarters of organizations not confident in dealing with SSL-based attacks

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 3:51pm CET par Ian Barker

  Despite 39 percent of businesses suffering an SSL-based attack in 2016, only 25 percent feel confident in their ability to deal with one according to a new study. The report from cyber security company Radware shows that cyber attacks are becoming the norm, with 98 percent of organizations experiencing some form of attack in 2016. SSL attacks though are of particular concern. SSL provided the backbone of eCommerce, though the Heartbleed attacks of three years ago have led many companies to switch to alternatives like TLS. For attackers though SSL offers a way to mask attack traffic and thwart malware detection… [Continue Reading]

  Moto G5 Plus starts at $184.99 on Amazon

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 3:42pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  There is much to like about the new Moto G5 Plus. It's got a nice screen, fast processor, fingerprint sensor, large battery and an interesting design too. It also runs Android Nougat and it comes with Google Assistant out of the box. But all this comes at a price, which may seem a bit too high for some. The base model, which comes with 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, costs $229.99 in US, while the high-end version, which features 64GB and 4GB of RAM, can be had for $299.99. It is not exactly cheap, if you want the latter… [Continue Reading]

  Citizen AID app helps saves lives during a terror attack

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 3:38pm CET par Mike Williams

  Citizen AID is a free UK-developed iOS, Android and Windows app which gives advice on the best immediate response to a bomb blast or armed attack. It’s essentially an ebook with simple step-by-step guidance on how to deal with different situations. Some of this seems very obvious. If there’s an ongoing attack, for instance, you’re advised to run, hide if that’s not possible, tell the emergency services and only treat the injured once you know you’re safe. Keep reading, though, and there are some smart tips included. If you’re concerned an attacker might still be around, for instance, the app… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 3 get Google Assistant

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 1:34pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Google Assistant made its debut on the Pixel and Pixel XL last year, and after a period of exclusivity the search giant started to bring the voice assistant to other Android smartphones. The new LG G6 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 line have it, and, now, so do two other popular flagships. OnePlus has announced on Twitter that the successor to Google Now is finally available on its OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 3. Both smartphones run Android Nougat, which is required for Google Assistant. It is not clear if Google Assistant is available on every OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 3 right… [Continue Reading]

  Uncovering the cost and profitability of DDoS attacks

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 12:29pm CET par Ian Barker

  DDoS attacks are a popular cyber criminal technique, used either to cause a distraction for a different crime or demand a ransom for calling off or not launching an attack. New research from Kaspersky Lab reveals how profitable this activity can be. Researchers studied the DDoS services on offer on the black market and looked at how far the illegal business has advanced, as well as the extent of its popularity and profitability. The findings show that DDoS attacks can cost anywhere from $5 for a 300-second attack to $400 for a 24-hour attack. Based on the research, the average price… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy warning: US ISPs could sell and share your browsing history without consent

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 12:11pm CET par Mark Wilson

  In a major blow for privacy advocates and individual rights, the US Senate has voted to permit ISPs to sell or share customers' data -- including their browsing histories -- without consent. The vote overturns a Federal Communications Commission rule that banned such activity. While there are still legislative hoops to jump through before the result of the vote is ratified, ISPs will be rubbing their hands in glee at what the Senate has done. The Republican-controlled House will now need to conduct its own vote on the rule before the existing rule banning the sale and sharing of such… [Continue Reading]

  Instagram ups security with two-factor authentication

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 11:46am CET par Mark Wilson

  Just about every app and online service offer two-factor authentication (2FA) as a security measure these days, and Instagram is the latest to join the party. After numerous instances of hacking for other services, it's little surprise that Instagram wants to offer its users an extra level of protection. Once enabled, users are required to enter a six-digit code that is sent to their mobile via SMS, greatly eliminating the risk of unauthorized access. If you want to take advance of the new feature -- which is disabled by default -- there's no need to wait to download an update… [Continue Reading]

  Machine learning pays well in the UK

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 11:44am CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  If you are a developer looking to earn some serious cash, you might want to consider becoming a machine learning specialist. According to a new report by Stack Overflow, entitled "Developer Hiring Landscape Report," machine learning specialists earn 24 percent more than what’s the average among developers on the British Isles. That's £56,851 a year. The report also says developers will continue to be a high-earning bunch, regardless of what language they specialize in. The UK national average salary for last year was £28,000, while developers earned £44,000, or 45 percent more. Almost all of developers (94 percent) are partially self-taught,… [Continue Reading]

  Apple says it has already fixed CIA's Mac and iPhone hacks revealed by WikiLeaks

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 10:55am CET par Mark Wilson

  Yesterday WikiLeaks published the second batch of its Vault 7 documents, Dark Matter, revealing information about Apple-related hacks used by the CIA. This time around, the documents focus on hacks for MacBooks and iPhones, and comes two weeks after the initial batch of documents came to light. Apple previously said that it had addressed "many of the issues" from the first Vault 7 leaks, and now the company has said much the same regarding the second batch. Despite promises from Julian Assange, it seems that WikiLeaks has not been in contact with Apple to provide further details about the exposed… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Creators Update RTM is Build 15063 confirms leaked Update Assistant

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 10:15am CET par Mark Wilson

  It is only three days since Windows 10 Creators Update Build 15063 arrived on the Fast ring. The same build has already made its way to Insiders on the Slow ring as well, fueling understandable speculation that this could well be the final build. This does in fact appear to be the case. We already know that Microsoft is due to release Windows 10 Creators Update in April, and a leaked Update Assistant tool shows that Build 15063 is indeed the RTM build number. The Update Assistant was pushed out into the limelight by serial leaker and Microsoft fan WalkingCat.… [Continue Reading]

  Wikileaks finds a business model

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 9:20am CET par Robert X. Cringely

  Within minutes of the electrons drying on my last column about the Wikileaks CIA document drop called Vault 7, Julian Assange came out with the novel idea that he and Wikileaks would assist big Internet companies with their technical responses to the obvious threats posed by all these government and third-party security hacks. After all, Wikileaks had so far published only documentation for the hacks, not the source code. There was still time! How noble of Assange and Wikileaks! OR, Wikileaks has found a new business model. When organized crime offers assistance against a threat they effectively control it’s called… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu Linux 17.04 'Zesty Zapus' Final Beta now available for download in multiple DE flavors

  Publié: mars 24, 2017, 2:21am CET par Brian Fagioli

  When someone is interested in trying a Linux-based desktop operating system for the first time, they often choose Ubuntu. This is a smart choice, as it is easy to use, well supported, and quite beautiful. Even if you don't like the Unity desktop environment, there are several other DEs, or flavors, from which to choose -- GNOME, KDE, and Xfce to name a few. Today, the Final Beta of Ubuntu 17.04 'Zesty Zapus' becomes available for download. While it is never a good idea to run pre-release software on production machines, Canonical is claiming that it should be largely bug free… [Continue Reading]
