  Consumers expect mobile devices to transform

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 10:16pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  When Microsoft says we'll be holding much more than a mere smartphone in our palms in a few years, they weren't exaggerating. A new Gemalto survey says that by 2025, consumers expect mobile devices to become much more than what they are today. They expect the mobile device to be their ID tool, maybe even their passport. They expect the device to autonomously control their home, they expect to use it as a payment tool, and as a banking device, as well. For the report, Gemalto polled 2,000 consumers in the USA, UK, France, Germany, China and Brazil. Almost half… [Continue Reading]

  Nintendo stock soars from Switch sales, GameStop gets profit boost

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 9:44pm CEST par Mark Raby

  After years of disappointing sales, uninspired product launches, and even some doomsday predictions, Nintendo has reversed course -- evidenced no more forcefully than the 8-year high that its stock price reached by the end of this week. The company closed at 33,510 yen ($300.72) per share on Japan's Nikkei exchange. The last time Nintendo was looking at numbers like that, it was busy celebrating the way it reinvented the gaming marketplace with its motion-sensing Wii console. Over the past eight years, though, the novelty of the Wii began to wear off; its successor, the Wii U, was miserably behind its… [Continue Reading]

  Ransomware revenue rises to $1bn

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 9:09pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  A new report from Trend Micro has revealed that the use of ransomware by cyber attackers increased by 752 percent in 2016. In the last year alone, the security software company estimates that Locky, Goldeneye and other malware designed to extort a ransom from its victims earned attackers $1 billion. Although ransomware did the most damage to businesses and individuals in 2016, the threat of falling victim to this type of malicious code was maintained by the recent WannaCry attacks and by the Eternal Rocks worm that has no kill switch and continues to infect users. For those unfamiliar with… [Continue Reading]

  WorldPay wants to make it easier to take your money in VR

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 5:57pm CEST par Mark Raby

  We've all been there. You're testing out your new virtual reality headset, exploring fantastical worlds and immersing yourself in all kinds of 360-degree awesomeness, when you suddenly stop and think to yourself, "If only there was some way I could simulate the process of taking out my credit card and tapping it to complete a purchase." Well, that will soon become possible if payment processing company WorldPay is successful in getting its new platform accepted by app and game developers. The solution, revealed in a proof-of-concept video, involves a complete recreation of one of the company's real-world retail credit card… [Continue Reading]

  UK businesses want to increase adoption of cloud services

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 5:18pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The adoption of cloud technologies in a company is becoming a key function of many company’s technology strategy. Almost nine in ten (88 percent) of UK businesses have adopted cloud to some extent, the report says, adding that two thirds (67 percent) of users expect to increase the adoption of cloud services in the near future, according to a new report by the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) CIF’s report, however, concludes that there is a discrepancy in opinions between IT decision makers and their business counterparts. Almost three quarters (73 percent) of ITDMs think cloud is being driven by their… [Continue Reading]

  WannaCry was most Americans’ first experience of ransomware

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 3:54pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Although ransomware in some form has been around since 2005, a new survey of 5,000 US consumers reveals that for 57 percent the recent WannaCry attack was their first exposure to how it works. The study by endpoint security company Carbon Black also shows that seven out of 10 consumers would consider leaving a business if it were hit by ransomware. Financial institutions and healthcare providers are most trusted to keep data safe (70 percent), but only half (52 percent) trust retailers. This is slightly at odds with trends which show the financial services sector was the most attacked industry… [Continue Reading]

  Opera abandons iOS

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 3:46pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I have been enjoying the Opera desktop web browser lately. In fact, the experience has been so good, that I have been using it on Windows 10, Linux, and macOS. The browser has many great features, plenty of extensions, and it is darn fast too. As an iPhone and iPad user, I thought maybe it was time to use Opera on mobile. After all, why not use the same app across all my devices? Unfortunately, after searching for Opera in the Apple App Store, I noticed something odd -- none of the company's iOS browsers (Opera Mini and Opera Coast)… [Continue Reading]

  An insider's perspective: A mutually beneficial internship program

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 2:14pm CEST par Mike Grandinetti

  Growing businesses are looking to hire talent that is sharp, motivated and can easily fit into existing company culture. It’s the matter of finding that talent that can cost companies a lot of money. Consider the resources invested in the initial search, the offer period, the onboarding time and the "trial run," which usually lasts three months. If after all that, a candidate is a perfect fit -- wonderful, onwards! -- but many times it’s not and both the company and new employee are frustrated it didn’t work out. In order to avoid all that drama, I’ve included a look… [Continue Reading]

  It's your last chance to get a OnePlus 3T

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 1:15pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  There is no denying that the OnePlus 3T is still a very good high-end smartphone. But, since it will soon be replaced by the OnePlus 5, which rocks some amazing hardware and, hopefully, just as an attractive price tag as before, the current flagship killer will not be available for much longer. In fact, OnePlus has announced that there is limited stock left, so, if you are considering buying a OnePlus 3T, now is your last chance to get one. On its forums, OnePlus says that there are just "a few devices are left in [its] warehouse." At the time… [Continue Reading]

  Dynamically generated whitelists help stop hackers

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 1:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Whitelists have traditionally been used as a way of limiting what users can do, but they're time consuming to maintain and keep up to date. Florida-based Terra Privacy is addressing this with a system where destinations are continually inserted and removed from the whitelist in real-time, in concert with the user's activities. Hacker Deterrent Pro's system provides effective protection against browser-injected trojans. It uses a Transient Whitelist that only contains the addresses of open webpages and their declared additional connections. All other browser traffic remains blocked. This means browser-injected trojans are blocked from connecting to their command and control servers.… [Continue Reading]

  Best Windows 10 apps this week

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 12:52pm CEST par Martin Brinkmann

  Two-hundred-and-thirty-two in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 on the Windows Store in the past seven days. The roll out of the Windows 10 Creators Update is still ongoing. Wayne notes that it is at 15.2 percent of users in the US right now, which means that it will take a while longer before the new version is on the majority of Windows 10 PCs out there. As always, if I missed an app or game that has been released this week that you believe is particularly good,… [Continue Reading]

  NTFS bug allows any website to crash Windows 7, 8.1

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 12:42pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Users of older versions of Windows aren’t having the best time of it lately. Last week it was discovered that over 98 percent of those affected by the WannaCry ransomware were running Windows 7, and now a new bug has been found which can slow down and crash systems running that OS and Windows 8.1. The new bug is trivially easy to exploit, making just browsing the web potentially hazardous, and there’s currently no fix available. As Ars Technica reports, Windows 7 and 8.1 (and Vista) fail to handle files with "$MFT" in a directory name -- c:\$MFT\123 for example.… [Continue Reading]

  Raspberry Pi to merge with CoderDojo

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 11:27am CEST par Wayne Williams

  The Raspberry Pi was designed to provide an ultra-cheap way to encourage schoolchildren to learn to code just as they had back in the 1980s and 90s. Although the uncased credit card sized computer has since found a highly appreciative audience outside of education, kids -- the computer scientists of the future -- remain a priority. CoderDojo is a global network of coding clubs for children aged from seven to 17 with the aim being to provide a safe and social place for kids to learn to program. It’s clear the two foundations have similar aims, which is why it’s… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook Fundraisers expand so you have more reasons to ask your friends for money

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 10:48am CEST par Mark Wilson

  It's not all that long since Facebook introduced a fundraiser feature, making it possible for users to ask others on the social network for money for a particular cause. Now the company has expanded the personal fundraiser feature so that it can be used for more things. Specifically, Facebook now permits people to raise money in two additional categories: sports and community. With the community category covering "neighborhood services, community improvements or environmental improvements," fundraisers have now become much wider-ranging. Using Facebook to ask for money might be a great way to hit as large an audience as possible --… [Continue Reading]

  Google launches Data Gif Maker so you can create animated GIFs to illustrate data

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 10:38am CEST par Mark Wilson

  As names go, it's clear that little thought went into Google's new Data Gif Maker. It's a simple tool that lets you create animated GIFs to compare statistics about two different topics. Google says the free tool is aimed at journalists, but anyone with a website is able to use it however they want. The idea is simple. Rather than just saying Android is more popular than iPhone, you can let a graphic do the work for you. Data Gif Maker produces bar charts that we have all become familiar with during elections, giving an easily-interpreted visual representation of basic… [Continue Reading]

  Belkin Wemo smart home devices will soon be compatible with Apple HomeKit and Siri

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 4:33am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Belkin's Wemo smart home devices are absolutely brilliant. Not only does the company offer power outlet and light switch adapters, but it recently introduced a dimmer switch too. The Wemo products are also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, making them easy to control by voice. Unfortunately, Wemo devices are not compatible with Apple HomeKit or Siri. There is good news, however -- Belkin is adding support. Starting this fall, consumers can buy a new product called "Wemo Bridge," which will enable HomeKit support for existing Wemo devices. It simply plugs into an Ethernet port on your router, thereby… [Continue Reading]

  UK businesses less prepared for GDPR than European counterparts

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 2:13am CEST par Michael Moore

  The new GDPR legislation is now just a year away from coming in to force, but new research claims that British businesses are not nearly as prepared as expected. A study by Blancco Technology Group reveals that the UK is significantly less prepared than its European counterparts, with companies lagging behind the rest of the continent. The study finds that the UK is four times more likely to allocate no budget to GDPR compliance than businesses in the US, France and Spain. British businesses are also the least likely to have performed a data protection gap analysis in the past 12 months --… [Continue Reading]

  XData ransomware starts wreaking havoc

  Publié: mai 26, 2017, 1:40am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The dust hasn’t even settled around WannaCry, another ransomware appears. This one was detected by ESET and identified as Win32/Filecoder.AESNI.C. Security researchers dubbed it XData ransomware. It appears mostly in Ukraine (96 percent of cases). The outbreak seems to have started on May 17, reaching its peak on May 19. ESET says that it has been tracking the malware since early December last year, when the version Win32/Filecoder.AESNI.A first appeared. Some decryption keys for this variant have been published on the BleepingComputer.com forum. This ransomware seems to be going around through a Ukranian document automation system used in accounting. ESET… [Continue Reading]
