  UK businesses are already embracing artificial intelligence

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 9:24pm CEST par Michael Moore

  The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology could be set to shake up the job scene in the UK sooner than expected, new research shows. A BT survey of over 1,500 senior UK IT decision makers found that AI, widely expected to usher in the "fourth industrial revolution," is in fact already splitting opinions in the labor market. On the positive side, a third of businesses which say they plan to introduce AI or automation technologies within the next two years believe it will create more jobs within the workplace. However, a similar amount of respondents also feared that implementing such services would lead to… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft includes Windows XP and Vista in June's Patch Tuesday updates

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 8:07pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Last month Microsoft made the decision to issue a "highly unusual" patch for Windows XP. Despite the fact the operating system has not been supported for some time, the patch was released in an attempt to thwart the WannaCrypt ransomware attacks. Now, in an even more unusual move, Microsoft has chosen to include Windows XP in this month's Patch Tuesday. Windows Vista is also included in this batch of security updates which Microsoft says should address the "elevated risk of cyberattacks by government organizations." Windows XP has not been supported since 2014, with regular Vista support coming to an end… [Continue Reading]

  Industroyer is more dangerous than Stuxnet

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 8:05pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Remember Stuxnet, the worm that wreaked havoc across Iran's nuclear facilities? Security researchers from ESET say that they have discovered an even bigger threat, which is being called Industroyer. According to the company's report, Industroyer is built to "disrupt critical industrial processes," and was recently used in an attack in Ukraine, causing the city of Kiev to lose power for an hour. According to ESET, Industroyer uses "industrial communication protocols used worldwide in power supply infrastructure, transportation control systems and other critical infrastructure systems, such as water and gas." So in theory, Industroyer can be used for much more than disrupting the… [Continue Reading]

  Google launches Android Excellence to recognize the very best apps and games

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 7:17pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Google has launched a new scheme which sees the company highlighting the very best games and apps to be found in Google Play. This is not simply a list of the most downloaded or, necessarily, the most highly rated titles; Google has a new batch of criteria by which to judge developers' offerings. The real aim is to heap praise on those apps and games which exude quality, and deliver the best user experiences. Google says that titles which "use many of our best practices, and have great design, technical performance, localization, and device optimization" will also feature in the… [Continue Reading]

  Windows Insiders can now try out OneDrive's Files On-Demand feature -- here's how

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 6:46pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft announced a new Files On-Demand feature for OneDrive at Build last month. This lets you access all of your files in the cloud without having to download them first. The files you have stored in OneDrive can be viewed in File Explorer and interacted with just like every other file on your device. If you used OneDrive on Windows 8.1 previously, you’ll be familiar with idea as it’s essentially an improved version of the old placeholders feature. If you’re a Windows Insider running Windows 10 build 16215 you can now download and install an update for OneDrive, which enables… [Continue Reading]

  Nintendo very briefly confirms new Pokémon game on Switch

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 6:34pm CEST par Mark Raby

  Likely to emerge as the biggest story out of today's latest round of news at the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Nintendo has announced that it is working on a new Pokémon title for its Switch console. In the very brief announcement, the title was described as a new entry to the "core RPG" series of Pokémon games. Presumably that means it will be the launching pad for a new generation of Pokémon creatures, and if so, it would be the first time that has happened on a home console. The original Pokémon games were released in 1996 on the… [Continue Reading]

  Yahoo is now officially Verizon's problem and Marissa Mayer waves goodbye

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 5:58pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Verizon today reveals that it has completed the acquisition of Yahoo, nearly a year after announcing the deal. Big red initially agreed to pay $4.83 billion, but after the massive security breach that resulted in over one billion hacked accounts was disclosed to the public the value dropped to $4.48 billion. What is interesting is that Yahoo will not operate as an individual subsidiary, as you might expect. Instead, Verizon will combine it with AOL under a different brand, called Oath, which it describes as a "diverse house of more than 50 media and technology brands that engages more than a billion people around… [Continue Reading]

  Creative unveils Sound BlasterX AE-5 gaming sound card with 32-bit DAC and RGB lighting

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 5:42pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you thought the concept of a sound card was dead, you'd be wrong, but I wouldn't blame you for thinking it. After all, on-board motherboard sound is often excellent, and many people will choose a USB DAC nowadays as an upgrade. Today, Creative unveils a new PCIe sound card that will get you excited. Called "Sound BlasterX AE-5," it is chock full of features and impressive specs. While overkill for most, it features an insane 32-bit/384kHz DAC. It offers connectivity for a 5.1 speaker setup. Since this is a gaming product in 2017, it of course has RGB lighting -- it… [Continue Reading]

  Ransomware attacks are becoming more sophisticated

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 5:40pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Following the WannaCry attack last month, ransomware was one of the big topics at the recent Infosecurity Europe event in London. The worldwide assault woke many businesses and organizations up to the real danger that ransomware poses, but new research has also discovered that the criminals behind such attacks could be gearing up for even bigger attacks soon. As one of the world’s leading cyber-security companies, Sophos is able to track habits and trends across the globe, and has noted that criminals are becoming ever more sophisticated when it comes to ransomware. Speaking to ITProPortal this week, the company’s senior security researcher… [Continue Reading]

  Gboard for Android now recognizes the emoji you draw by hand and suggests phrases for you

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 4:56pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Emoji offer a great way to spice up your chats, and the Android version of Gboard has been updated to make it easier to find the perfect ones. The update means you can now use the emoji search box to draw the sort of emoji you're looking for, and Google's keyboard will track down what it thinks you mean. Google uses machine learning to interpret even the most primitive of squiggles, so now there's no need to think about how you would describe a particular emoji in order to perform a text-based search for it -- just draw what you… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech Circle 2 is a versatile home internet surveillance camera for both inside and outside

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 4:26pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Internet-based home surveillance cameras are gaining in popularity nowadays, thanks to decreasing cost and easier setup. These devices allow you to monitor your home using your smartphone for ultimate convenience. Back in 2015, Logitech unveiled its first such product. Simply called "Circle," it was affordable and easy to use. The problem? It lacked versatility. It didn't offer much in the way of positioning and couldn't be used outside. With that said, the battery aspect allowed it to be moved about a residence. Today, the company unveils the successor -- Circle 2. This time the camera is far more useful, even… [Continue Reading]

  Fedora 26 Beta Linux distro is finally here with GNOME 3.24 and updated LibreOffice

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 3:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Fedora 26 Beta is finally here! Why do I say "finally?" Well, as is becoming more common nowadays, the Beta release was delayed. This isn't the end of the world, however, as there is nothing wrong with making sure everything is ready -- especially a beta. While you never want to run pre-release software on a production machine, I must confess that the Alpha version has been rock solid on my laptop -- it is probably safe. With that said, if you can be patient, we should have a final version on July 11. Can't wait for a stable Fedora 26… [Continue Reading]

  What does the scrapping of EU roaming charges mean for UK mobile users?

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 3:59pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  It's just a couple of days until new EU regulations come into force which makes European roaming charges a thing of the past. Put simply, all mobile operators will have to permit their customers to use their bundled text, call and data allowance within the EU at no extra charge. With many UK travelers caught out by high mobile bills after a trip, this change should be great news. But consumer watchdog Which? warns that there could be a catch, and mobile users are warned to continue to keep an eye on their bills. The problem stems from the fact… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 3:30pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Enterprises overwhelmed by endpoint alerts

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 2:56pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Organizations receive an average of more than 600 endpoint alerts in a typical week according to a new report. These represent a severe drain on an organization's financial resources and IT security personnel and the cost can average $1.4 million annually. The study by endpoint security company Absolute and the Ponemon Institute reveals that, of all alerts, 45 percent (277 alerts) are considered reliable and an average of 115 are investigated. An average of 61 percent or 369 of these alerts involve malware infections. The study also shows that organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to identify off-line or 'dark'… [Continue Reading]

  Blocked from running security software? AVCertClean can help

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 1:38pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Malware will often try to block security software from running, and one of the ways it does this is by adding their code signing certificate to Windows’ Untrusted list. If you try to run a program with an untrusted certificate, Windows displays a message like "this program has been blocked for your protection", or "an administrator has blocked you from running this program." (These messages can also appear for other reasons.) AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes developer Jerome Boursier has released AVCertClean, a basic but effective tool to scan the Untrusted Certificate list, and remove any items which belong to trusted antivirus… [Continue Reading]

  Kodi add-ons site TVAddons vanishes from the internet

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 1:01pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The negative attention that Kodi has been attracting recently continues. A number of high-profile add-ons, such as Phoenix, have disappeared recently as interest in the piracy potential for the media player increases. The latest victim appears to be TVAddons, a site which lists unofficial Kodi add-ons. The site was sued last week by a federal court in Texas, so the disappearance is not entirely surprising. But the removal of DNS records -- rendering the site inaccessible -- without any explanation is a little strange. TVAddons is -- or, perhaps, was -- a huge library of Kodi add-ons, but the site… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft wins Supreme Court case about scratched Xbox 360 discs

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 12:07pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  With staggeringly coincidental timing, just as Microsoft revealed its upcoming Xbox One X console, the company received some great news from the US Supreme Court. In an 8-0 decision, the court overturned an earlier ruling in what has become a complex and lengthy case. What originally started off as a fairly simple case around a decade ago about game discs scratched by Xbox 360 consoles, has evolved into quite a different beast. The latest ruling means that a case that was to be brought collectively by tens of thousands of gamers cannot be granted class action status. What this means… [Continue Reading]

  Malicious antivirus apps prey on ransomware fears

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 12:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Recent weeks have seen a rise in fake WannaCry protectors on mobile app stores, even though this particular infection doesn't target mobile devices. But using the fear of high profile infections to get users to download potentially unwanted programs or malware is nothing new according to threat management company RiskIQ. Using its mobile database, hundreds of examples of apps that claim to help defend mobile phones were found, instead, to be preying on unsuspecting users by pushing adware, trojans, and other malware. Using a title search for 'antivirus' resulted in 6,295 total apps, past and present, claiming to either be an… [Continue Reading]

  People in the US are less savvy about cyber security than people in the UK

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 11:09am CEST par Mark Wilson

  A new report suggests that people in the UK are more aware of the terminology surrounding cyber security, and are less likely to fall victim to hacking and identity theft. Wombat Security Technologies' 2017 edition of its User Risk Report reveals a stark difference in cyber knowledge on either side of the Atlantic. The report is based on a survey carried out last month into knowledge of, and attitudes to, cyber security topics and best practices. While the report shows that the UK is generally more cyber security savvy, the US is shown to fare better when it comes to… [Continue Reading]

  Collaboration cloud services lead to a rise in data violations

  Publié: juin 13, 2017, 11:05am CEST par Ian Barker

  Almost 10 percent of data loss prevention (DLP) violations come from collaboration services according to a new report. The study from cloud security company Netskope shows that as cloud services like HipChat and Slack have increased in popularity enterprises need to put policies in place to protect the information that’s shared. "Collaboration services are quickly displacing more traditional ways of communication and collaboration like email, and with that means that more data is being shared inside of those services," says Sanjay Beri, founder and CEO, Netskope. "It's critical that organizations implement solutions that afford real-time visibility and control, data loss… [Continue Reading]
