  What do we know about bad bots?

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 9:36pm CEST par Stephen Singam

  In 2016, approximately 185 million new Internet users went online, with the vast majority of these coming from nations like India. This represents a huge increase in the market. However, while the Internet population continues to grow, there has also been an increase in bots as well. The word "bot" covers a wide variety of automated programs: while some source data for search engines and help people match their queries with the most appropriate websites, others are not so helpful. In the past year, bad bots accounted for 19.9 percent of all website traffic -- a 6.98 percent increase over the same… [Continue Reading]

  NuAns ditches Windows 10 Mobile, new Neo Reloaded smartphone runs Android

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 8:44pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Without trying to sound like a broken record, there's really no future in Windows 10 Mobile. If it wasn't clear years ago, it is crystal clear now. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw a new manufacturer embracing the platform last year, and a niche one at that. That was NuAns with its Neo handset, which is probably the last memorable smartphone released with Windows on board. A year later the company is unsurprisingly admitting defeat. NuAns is replacing the Neo with the Neo Reloaded, which, you guessed it, runs Android this time around. The smartphone just hit… [Continue Reading]

  Many UK SMBs don't have a succession plan

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 6:51pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  More than half (52 percent) of small and medium-sized businesses in the UK’s IT sector have no idea what they’d do if key staffers decide to quit. This is according to a new report by the Aldermore Future Attitudes, which claims these businesses are lacking a succession plan. The report puts things in a dangerous perspective -- 22 percent of SME IT businesses see senior executives leaving as their biggest business threat. Another fifth, 21 percent, are worried their entire team would leave. Out of those 48 percent that do have a succession plan, 46 percent have confirmed this includes "ensuring… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon makes Alexa a fashionista with all-new Echo Look

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 5:49pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Amazon Echo, and the associated Alexa voice assistant, are wildly popular. This is fairly surprising, as you would expect such a successful product to come from Apple or Google. While the latter has since launched its "Home" competitor, Amazon's offering still reigns supreme in the hearts and minds of consumers. Not satisfied with resting on its laurels, today, Amazon announces that it is pushing the envelope even further. You see, the company will be launching a new product -- Echo Look. This device works with Alexa like the other Echo products, but with a unique twist -- it has a camera. No,… [Continue Reading]

  New developer kit helps secure IoT devices

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 5:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The rapid growth in numbers of IoT devices has seen them become a favored attack route for cyber criminals. This has left companies looking for a way to integrate strong security into millions of devices. To address this problem, security platform Mocana is launching a new developer kit that provides businesses, who may not have deep cybersecurity or cryptography expertise, with a way to simplify the integration of hardware-based security features into IoT devices. The Mocana IoT Security Developer Kit (DevKit) includes Mocana’s IoT security software modules integrated with an Infineon Technologies OPTIGA TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip on a… [Continue Reading]

  Western Digital now shipping the 12TB HGST Ultrastar He12 Helium 7200 RPM Enterprise HDD

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 4:48pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Thanks to media streaming and cloud storage, many home consumers no longer need massive hard disk drives. Instead, a fast SSD with a lesser capacity can often meet needs. Of course that isn't a fact for everyone -- some folks still prefer local storage, and mechanical HDDs are ideal from a cost perspective. Home users aside, businesses still largely have a need for hard drives with large capacities. Trade secrets and customer information can't always be stored in the cloud. While some data centers are embracing solid state drives for better performance, that is not really cost effective at this time. Today, Western… [Continue Reading]

  SteelSeries launches QcK Prism dual-surface RGB illuminated premium gaming mousepad

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 2:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When you are a PC gamer that seemingly already owns everything for gaming, what is left to buy? Besides your hardcore gaming rig, you probably already have a mechanical keyboard, mouse, and headset, right? Heck, you may even have a fancy mousepad. But does your pad even glow, bro? Today, SteelSeries launches the QcK Prism dual-surface RGB illuminated premium gaming mousepad. Yeah, it is a gaming mousepad that glows thanks to RGB lighting. While not the first RGB mousepad, SteelSeries says it is the first-ever dual-sided variant. You see, one side is cloth, while the other is hard plastic. "The QcK Prism… [Continue Reading]

  New platform uses behavioral science to cut cyber security risks

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 2:56pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With the right training and knowledge, many cyber attacks can be avoided. Addressing this human aspect of security is the idea behind a new platform from British start-up CybSafe. Human error is a major cause of data breaches and security training needs to be able to positively change user behavior. Using intelligent software and proprietary analytics, CybSafe's cloud-based platform learns an individual's knowledge level and their behavior patterns to deliver a personalized e-learning program. Delivered through a mobile app or online, the GCHQ-accredited e-learning platform is aimed at saving businesses money, not just by reducing their risk of falling victim… [Continue Reading]

  Flexible working is great -- as long as you do it right

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 2:50pm CEST par Tim Stone

  Is flexible working all it’s cracked up to be? It’s a question that’s popped up a lot recently, following IBM’s recent "clampdown" on remote working. It’s a valid question. In a world of apps, robots, drones and countless other technological advancements, it’s important to challenge what’s valuable and what isn’t. For this reason, we recently did some research into workers across the globe on the topic of flexible working. There were some interesting findings across the 25,000+ global workers surveyed, but in answer to the question; yes, flexible working is all it’s cracked up to be. If it’s done right.… [Continue Reading]

  Dalenryder Password Generator is a versatile security toolkit

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 1:00pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Dalenryder Password Generator is an interesting collection of simple security tools, nicely presented in a big-buttoned, touch-friendly interface. Tap "Quick Password" and the program generates and displays a strong 12-character long password. You can optionally include symbols or change the password length to anything from 4 to 30 characters, then generate a password and copy it to the clipboard in a couple of clicks. A "Password Lab" takes this further by allowing you to include (or not) numbers, upper or lower case letters, umlauts, brackets, mathematical or even custom symbols. Once it’s set up you can again generate a single… [Continue Reading]

  77 percent of British consumers have worries about new payment methods

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 12:48pm CEST par Ian Barker

  This week South Korea takes the first steps towards becoming a coinless society as shoppers will be handed pre-paid cards instead of change in a country-wide trial. If the trial is successful, bank officials will allow change to be transferred straight into the shoppers' bank accounts by next year. But a new report from global law firm Paul Hastings shows that security fears are preventing many British consumers embracing new payment technologies. The study of over 2,000 consumers finds 77 percent are worried about using new payment methods. The risk of fraud is cited as the main reason (59 percent)… [Continue Reading]

  With little fanfare, Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update begins to roll out

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 12:24pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 Creators Update began to roll out to compatible PCs and tablets two weeks ago, and Microsoft announced its arrival with plenty of blog posts and new videos. Today, the Creators Update for Windows 10 Mobile formally begins its roll out, with that announcement made in a simple tweet. It comes as no surprise that the arrival of such a noteworthy update should receive so little fanfare, seeing as Windows 10 Mobile doesn't have much of a market share as it is, and the Creators Update only works on 13 phones. SEE ALSO: Microsoft recommends you don't install the… [Continue Reading]

  FalseGuide malware infects millions of Android users via Google Play

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 11:39am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Malware is something of a recurring problem for Android users, and it seems as though Google is fighting a never-ending battle to keep the blight out of the Play Store. The latest large-scale batch to be discovered takes the form of adware known as FalseGuide. As you may have guessed from the name -- and your own experience of Google Play -- this malware spreads by fooling people into installing apps purporting to be guides to popular games. The apps themselves are fairly innocuous -- and often are guides as they claim to be -- but they then download additional… [Continue Reading]

  How deception-based technology is turning the tables on hackers [Q&A]

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 11:18am CEST par Ian Barker

  Cyber attacks are constantly evolving and consequently businesses are always seeking new ways of defending themselves. This is as much about understanding the nature of attacks as about preventing them. One of the latest developments is the use of deception, employing camouflaged traps and tokens to throw the attackers off balance by detecting and understanding the nature of the attack and their plans. We spoke to Kev Eley, VP at TrapX to find out how a new approach to security, based on deception techniques, is helping organizations to turn the tables on attackers.

  Facebook is testing pre-emptive related articles in News Feed

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 10:41am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The "related articles" feature of Facebook's News Feed is nothing new -- in fact it has been with us for more than three years. But now the social network is trialling a new way of displaying related content; rather than waiting until you have clicked on a story to suggest related stories you might be interested in, Facebook will instead be offering these suggestions before you read an article. As well as giving users the chance to read more about a topic from different source, Facebook says that it will help people to discover articles which have been fact-checked. It… [Continue Reading]

  Dude, where's my car? Oh, there it is -- thanks, Google Maps!

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 6:13am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Forgetting where you parked your vehicle can happen to anybody at any age. It happens to me quite often, as I am known to be daydreaming as I walk from my car to a store, such as the mall. On more than one occasion, I've walked around a parking lot, hitting the "panic" button on my keys so that I can hear the horn honk. Heck, there is an entire episode of Seinfeld that deals with the topic. Thankfully, Google is giving us some relief. The search giant's Maps app has a new feature that will record where you parked your… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft will give you free Subway sandwiches -- here's how to score the yummy deal

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 5:25am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  As someone who lives in New York, I have access to many quality delicatessens. This means I have the ability to buy extremely good sandwiches. The problem? They can be expensive, easily exceeding $10. It is for this reason that I still go to Subway on occasion. With that said, some of the company's sandwiches are pretty tasty -- I do not go only to save money. You know what's better than an inexpensive sandwich? A free one! You see, Microsoft is giving away free meals from Subway -- a sandwich, drink, and either cookie or chips. The offer is not… [Continue Reading]

  UK companies losing money due to inadequate communication and collaboration tools

  Publié: avril 26, 2017, 2:07am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Inefficient communications and poor collaboration costs UK companies £8,000 per employee, every year, according to a new report by enterprise communications company Mitel. That means that a business with 500 employees or more could be losing more than £4 million every year. Looking into productivity within the workplace, Mitel’s new report also says that employees lose nearly a day every week due to inadequate communications capabilities. On average, a fifth of the working day is lost to emails. That costs businesses roughly £2,000 per employee, per year. The report falls in line with recent ONS figures, which claim that people… [Continue Reading]
