  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 8:56pm CEST par Michael Moore

  The UK government has defended the NHS's cyber-security procedures, days after a number of trusts were taken offline by the WannaCry ransomware. Security minister Ben Wallace said that the NHS had followed "pretty good procedures" in dealing with the attack. The news came as health minister Jeremy Hunt confirmed that there had been no dreaded "second wave" of attacks following the initial assault last Friday.

  Element Electronics unveils Amazon Fire TV Edition 4K UHD smart televisions with Alexa

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 7:13pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While smart televisions are very common nowadays, not all are created equally. Some of them can have laggy performance and poor user interfaces. Amazon aimed to change that with its "Fire TV Edition," which integrates its quality video experience into the television itself -- no need to add a dongle or box. This is clearly designed to compete with Roku's similar integrated platform. Today, Element Electronics announces the first ever models of televisions with the aforementioned Amazon Fire TV Edition experience. What makes these sets particularly special, however, is that they also offer 4K UHD resolution. You can even access the Alexa assistant using… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 4:39pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Just a couple of weeks since a leak of season five of Orange is the New Black was held to ransom, the same is now happening with the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 5. Yesterday Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that hackers had stolen one of the company's movies, and it has since transpired that it is the upcoming Johnny Depp flick. Subtitled "Dead Men Tell No Tales", Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is due to hit the big screen next week, and hackers are demanding a ransom from Disney to avert a leak ahead of the official launch.

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 4:27pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are two amazing flagships, and, if you're an UK owner, you will like Samsung's latest high-end smartphones even more, as Samsung Pay support is now available. Samsung Pay arrives in the UK well after Android Pay, which Google introduced a year ago. But, as the saying goes, better late than never. The mobile payments service lets you "make purchases almost anywhere contactless debit cards or credit cards are accepted."

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 3:48pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  E-signature and security firm DocuSign has confirmed a data breach in which attackers gained access to a database containing customer emails. The company says that no other data was revealed in the security breach, but it led to a large phishing campaign. Attackers used the stolen email addresses to spam people with emails containing an infected Microsoft Word document. The company insists that its core service remains secure, but coming in the wake of the WannaCry ransomware attack, people around the world are on high alert. The phishing campaign uses DocuSign branding to fool recipients into opening a malicious attachment… [Continue Reading]

  Updated BBC Privacy and Cookies Policy reveals targeted social advertising, and data sharing with TV Licensing

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 3:26pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Just a few days ago, the BBC revealed that it was planning to introduce password checks for iPlayer users so it could ensure that a valid TV license is in place. Following on from this, the corporation has updated its Privacy and Cookies Policy. The changes mean that personal information is shared with TV Licensing to check whether individuals have paid for a license. The BBC also says that it will use the personal data it collects to deliver "relevant advertising" on the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

  Manage Windows 10 privacy settings with Privacy Repairer

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 3:13pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Privacy Repairer is a portable tool for viewing and managing Windows 10 telemetry and privacy settings. There’s now almost a whole sub-genre of software doing more or less the same thing, but Privacy Repairer has more than enough extra power and detail to justify its tiny download. The program’s interface looks much like the competition. Individual settings are organized into categories and displayed on a sidebar: "Telemetry and Diagnostics", "System", "Windows Defender", "Windows Store Apps", "Cortana and Start Menu", "Lock Screen", "Edge and Internet Explorer", "Windows Media Player", "Visual Studio." Clicking any of these categories displays its settings in a… [Continue Reading]

  Huddle simplifies bulk document collection

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 3:07pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In any organization teams often waste valuable time requesting, tracking and chasing documents.

  Google Wifi: The perfect solution to patchy home Wi-Fi [Review]

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 1:57pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  My home office is in the basement, and -- since that’s the place where I need the best, most consistent internet access -- so is my router. That, coupled with thick walls and floors, means Wi-Fi in certain other parts of the house tends to be patchy, unreliable, and weak. I’ve tried several different solutions to address this, including Homeplugs and wireless repeaters, finally settling on ASUS’s RP-AC52 Dual-Band Wireless Range Extender a couple of years ago. But needing to extend my Wi-Fi reach further, I was faced with having to once again look for a solution to my conundrum,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 1:28pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  HTC today finally unveils a high-end Android smartphone that you might actually want to buy. It's called the U11 and it comes with pretty much everything you can expect in a flagship in 2017, save for that awkward, tall display that you see on rivals like the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8. HTC has had quite a few uninspiring devices in recent years, but the U11 represents a departure from that trend. It has the latest and greatest internals, the best camera around, an attractive design, and the latest version of Android. It's like HTC listened to all the… [Continue Reading]

As part of this agreement, the company will provide a grant of $5 million -- an unprecedented level of support from a private-sector organization. The partnership goes beyond simply supporting the work of the UN Human Rights Office with money, however.

  Is WannaCry linked to the Lazarus Group?

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 12:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As last Friday's WannaCry (WannaCrypt) ransomware attack continues to cause ripples around the globe, links have emerged between the malware code and the infamous Lazarus Group. Lazarus is the group responsible for attacks on the Bangladesh Central Bank last year, Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2014, and more financial attacks in at least 18 countries. Yesterday, a Google researcher, Neel Mehta, posted a code sample on Twitter that hints at a similarity between WannaCrypt and malware samples used by Lazarus in 2015. Researchers at Kaspersky Lab's GReAT team analyzed the information and identified and confirmed clear code similarities between the malware samples. However,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 11:36am CEST par Mike Williams

  Windows has come with its own set of emojis for years, but they’re so well hidden that many users don’t realize they exist. WinMoji is a tiny open-source tool which makes it easier to find and use the built-in emojis. Install and run the program and it displays the full smiley set in a scrolling box. No need to mess around with other Windows tools, they all on view and ready to use. If you see an emoji you like, click it and it’s copied to the clipboard. Simple as that.

  Symantec successfully blocks more than 21 million 'WannaCrypt' ransomware attempts

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 7:30am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The 'WannaCrypt' ransomware has been a worldwide dilemma, impacting many countries. Luckily, the malware only impacts older versions of Microsoft's operating system -- Windows 10 is not vulnerable. Also immune to WannaCrypt is macOS and Linux distributions. Unfortunately, many people run older versions of Windows, but Microsoft has been very active in issuing patches for them -- including for the now-unsupported XP. Patches aside, security software can protect vulnerable computers too. In fact, today, Symantec announces that it has successfully blocked almost 22 million WannaCrypt attacks. The company even leveraged machine learning in its fight against the ransomware. The company explains that it,… [Continue Reading]

  This is the ultra-affordable Moto C Android smartphone

  Publié: mai 16, 2017, 12:42am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There is a common misconception that iPhone is for wealthy people, while Android is for folks with smaller budgets. While this isn't necessarily true, it is fair to say that Apple does not cater to the super low-end market. For those that don't have a lot of money to spend on a smartphone, Android is absolutely where it's at. While there are many affordable Android devices, not all of them are of acceptable quality -- some can be horrible. If you want a good balance of power, features, and cost, Lenovo's Moto devices have historically been a smart bet. Today,… [Continue Reading]
