  Governments are the biggest targets for cyber attackers

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 11:04pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Cyberattacks against the government sector increased by 100 percent in 2016, rising up to 14 percent, according to a new report by Dimension Data. The financial sector has also seen a dramatic increase in the number of attacks, from three percent in 2015 to 14 percent in 2016. The manufacturing sector is now on third place with 13 percent of all attacks while retail, which used to be the number one target, fell to fourth place with 11 percent. Poor retail. This data was published in Dimension Data’s Executive’s Guide to the NTT Security 2017 Global Threat Intelligence Report. The… [Continue Reading]

  Do cloud providers want a 'lock and key' security mechanism?

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 10:05pm CEST par Dan Cvrcek

  Public cloud providers have ultimate control over our data, applications, and data flows on their platforms. This capability is the main cause of anxiety and a top reason for many companies to shy away from public cloud. One of the possible solutions to the problem is to implement a "lock and key" mechanism for public clouds. This would allow re-balancing of data control. The question is whether cloud providers want that. Initial context Enigma Bridge is a technology start-up, which has built a cloud key management service -- comprising an enterprise PKI, secure hardware, trusted HTTPS interface, dynamic DNS, and… [Continue Reading]

  Financial organizations are having trouble finding documents

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 10:04pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Pretty much every organization in the financial sector, 96 percent of them, struggles to find documents in the workplace. This is according to a new report by M-Files, saying financial sector organizations need to be better at protecting their information. M-Files was quick to throw words like "putting customer data at risk" or "GDPR" around, too. The report claims that almost two thirds (62 percent) of respondents have had to recreate an existing document, because they failed to find it on the corporate network. Just below half (46 percent) say employees use file sharing apps, and 27 percent say their… [Continue Reading]

  Aspiring drivers don't want electric cars, are concerned about autonomous vehicles

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 7:34pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Aspiring drivers may be more conservative than you think when it comes to electric and self-driving cars. According to a new report by Elegant E-Learning, most of the folks studying for their drivers license are still very much interested in petrol-powered cars and have concerns about the benefits of self-driving vehicles. Elegant E-Learning polled over 200,000 aspiring drivers in US, UK, Canada, and Australia and discovered that, if given the option between an electric and a petrol-powered car at a similar price, over 60 percent would opt for the latter. And that's interesting, because most respondents are Millennials -- they… [Continue Reading]

  Netrepser malware targets government agencies

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 6:49pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Researchers at cyber security firm Bitdefender recently unveiled a new targeted attack and named it Netrepser. What makes this threat different from other APTs (advanced persistent threat) is that it was built with readily available software tools. The goal of Netrepser, according to Bitdefender, is to steal data from government agencies. No information on which agencies were targeted. Netrepser uses multiple methods to get its tiny digital hands on the victim’s information, from keylogging, to password theft, to cookie theft. At the very heart of this tool is a "legitimate, yet controversial" recovery toolkit provided by Nirsoft. Nirsoft provides apps… [Continue Reading]

  Serious app permissions flaw will not be fixed until Android O, leaving users at risk

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 5:23pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The security of Android has been questioned many times, but the general thinking is that installing apps from Google Play offers a decent level of protection. But research by Check Point shows that this is not the case due to a flaw in permissions. The permission model used by Google grants apps installed from the Play Store extensive access, and opens up the risk of malware, ransomware and other threats. Google is aware of the problem, but does not plan to address it until the release of Android O, meaning that an unknown number of apps pose a risk to… [Continue Reading]

  McAfee will provide protection for a range of Samsung products... including TVs

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 4:24pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  We live in strange times when security software is needed for TVs -- although given recent WikiLeaks revelations, it's perhaps not entirely surprising -- but this is precisely what McAfee is providing. The security firm today announces an expansion of its partnership with Samsung, and this sees the company providing protective software that will be pre-installed on a range of devices. As well as smart TVs, McAfee will also be offering security software for Samsung PCs and smartphones. A recent survey by McAfee found that consumer concerns "underscore the need for robust cross-device security," but is the company using this… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon introduces Echo Show -- now Alexa can show you things

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 4:15pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  It leaked last week, but now Amazon has officially announced its latest Echo family member. The Echo Show is different from Amazon's other Alexa-powered devices thanks to the inclusion of a 7-inch touchscreen. This will allow Alexa to show you things, such as YouTube videos, music lyrics, photos, video from connected security cameras, weather forecasts, and to-do lists, but it will also let you make and receive video calls. SEE ALSO: Harman Kardon's Cortana-powered Amazon Echo rival can play music, control your home, and make Skype calls Amazon’s new product page says this about the Echo Show: Voice responses from… [Continue Reading]

  Ransomware remains profitable as 47 percent fall victim to attacks

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 4:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Ransomware is one of the most successful and profitable weapons in the cyber criminal's armory, partly because it leverages an old-fashioned crime in a new digital format. A new study by Barracuda Networks reveals that 92 percent of people surveyed are concerned about ransomware hitting their organization, and 47 percent of respondents have been a victim of ransomware themselves. Of those that were attacked, 59 percent were unable to identify the source of the ransomware. Of those that did identify the source, 76 percent found that it entered the organization through email. Most interesting are the results relating to SaaS… [Continue Reading]

  New solution aids forensic investigation of mobile devices

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 2:54pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Whether it's due to a specific cyber attack, theft of data, or a wider criminal investigation, it's increasingly necessary to be able to capture evidence from mobile devices. Forensic investigation software specialist Guidance Software is launching a new version of its EnCase product aimed at safely gathering data from mobiles. EnCase Mobile Investigator allows corporate and law enforcement investigators to use the visibility of EnCase to collect and analyze data from all major smartphones, tablets, and many other mobile device types.

  OnePlus 3T no longer has 128GB storage option in every market [Update]

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 2:54pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If you are planning to buy a OnePlus 3T, you should know that, at least in some markets, there will only be one storage option available in the foreseeable future. OnePlus has dropped the 128GB model from the line, leaving only the 64GB version on the table for prospective buyers in some markets. The 64GB OnePlus 3T continues to be available in both Gunmetal and Soft Gold, so you at least have two color options to choose from -- just like before. The 128GB OnePlus 3T was only launched in Gunmetal -- as well as black, if you count the… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft ends support for the original version of Windows 10

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 1:53pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 has changed quite a lot since its original release in July 2015. Microsoft has rolled out three major updates to its new OS since then -- the November Update, the Anniversary Update, and most recently, the Creators Update. All three introduced new features and major changes, making it a much better and more rounded OS. But the problem with having different versions of what is essentially the same operating system is that supporting multiple branches isn’t feasible. Microsoft has said previously that it will only update two Current Branch for Business (CBB) versions of Windows 10 at a… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla's Paperstorm campaign calls for copyright reform to save the internet

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 1:42pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Mozilla has teamed up with design studio Moniker and launched a new "digital advocacy tool" called Paperstorm with the aim of modernizing copyright laws in Europe. The tool makes it easy for ordinary internet users to carpet bomb European lawmakers with virtual leaflets demanding change. The campaign is looking to drop millions of leaflets on cities around Europe to send a message to EU policymakers. The timing is important because copyright laws are due to undergo amendments, and proposals need to be in by the end of the year. Mozilla says that existing rules are outdated, and now is the… [Continue Reading]

  Comodo launches free enterprise threat analysis

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 1:37pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Data breaches not only cost businesses money in the short term, they can cause long term reputational damage as stolen details turn up for sale in dark corners of the internet. Cyber security company Comodo is offering enterprises with more than 1,000 employees a free 'Company Threat Analysis' to determine if their sensitive information is for sale on the Dark Web and, if so, how to prevent compromises from happening again. It creates a personalized report to identify if an enterprise's information has been stolen and dive into how this data became available to cyber criminals in the first place… [Continue Reading]

  Open source password strength meter could help boost account security

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 12:16pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  It's no secret that most people are rubbish at choosing passwords -- it's something that's proved time and time again when the annual list of common passwords is released. To help overcome the problem, and hopefully increase the security of people's accounts, a team of researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Chicago have created an open source password meter that provides advice about how to strengthen a password. While it's quite common to encounter online forms that require you to create passwords that meet certain criteria, it still does not necessarily mean they are secure. CyLab… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft fixes 'crazy bad' Windows vulnerability

  Publié: mai 9, 2017, 11:51am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Over the weekend, two of Google’s Project Zero security researchers announced that they had discovered a "crazy bad" Windows exploit, describing it as the "worst in recent memory." Project Zero gives firms 90 days to fix such discoveries, but Microsoft swiftly jumped on this problem, and just two days later has come up with a fix. The Project Zero team explains that the problem was found with Microsoft's Malware Protection service, MsMpEng. Vulnerabilities in MsMpEng are among the most severe in Windows, due to the "privilege, accessibility, and ubiquity of the service." The flaw allowed attackers to access mpengine by… [Continue Reading]
