  Trending 'Fireball' adware raises botnet concerns

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 9:57pm CEST par Michael Veenstra

  Last week, security researchers reported on a trending adware infection known as "Fireball". Sourced to the Chinese marketing firm Rafotech, reports indicate a footprint of more than 250 million infected machines worldwide. While the infection currently appears to only make changes to victims’ browser homepages and search engines, analysis suggests that the software could be remotely leveraged to act as a malware dropper. If true, it’s possible that infected systems could be made part of a botnet and used to carry out new types of attack over the Internet. The Fireball adware is being distributed via freeware software installers through… [Continue Reading]

  Greatly enhanced Google Backup and Sync to (mostly) replace Drive

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 8:30pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Later this month -- June 28 specifically -- Google is to launch a new tool: Backup and Sync. Aimed primarily at consumers, the tool is designed to backup files and photos, and make them accessible from any device. Backup and Sync is described as "the latest version of Google Drive for Mac/PC, which is now integrated with the Google Photos desktop uploader," and for most users it will completely replace Drive. Corporate and enterprise users are advised to hold out until the release of Drive File Stream later in the year, but for everyone else, Backup and Sync opens up… [Continue Reading]

  RÖK protects your Apple, Samsung, or Google phone with a case made from real stone [Review]

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 7:40pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Although I love the look of my Jet Black iPhone 7, I can be a bit clumsy at times, so I’ll always protect it with a case. There are plenty of phone case choices out there, but my new favorites -- by some margin -- are those from the RÖK collection. The latest cases from WÜD are made with real stone harvested from a slate quarry. The pieces are sliced thinly, so they don’t add a lot of weight to your device (around 1.2oz/34 grams), and each one is handcrafted and unique. The cases aren’t exclusive to the iPhone either… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 7:33pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Tad is a smarter CSV and data viewer

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 7:30pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Tad is a free cross-platform tool for viewing and analyzing CSV files and tabular data. Open a CSV file and it’s displayed in a simple table. Clicking column headers quickly sorts the data by that field, and you can drag and drop headers to reorder them. That’s useful, but it’s also very familiar. Fortunately, there’s more. That gear icon to the left isn’t the regular Settings dialog you’d expect, but actually provides more ways to configure the viewer. There are options to hide individual columns, sort by specific fields, display the totals of each field in the top row, even… [Continue Reading]

  Navigating new mobility in urban cities

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 6:32pm CEST par Alex Thibault

  The future of the automotive industry is a hot topic these days, especially when it comes to urban mobility. Indeed, the increase in urban density, rising cost of car ownership, insufficient infrastructure to sustain urban growth and the high adoption rate of smartphones have laid the foundation for a series of new services. The worldwide growth of one-way carsharing services (Station Based and Free-Floating) is just beginning. It’s the fastest growing trend among millennials in Europe and the US. People in cities are looking for mobility options that offer them flexibility, convenience and affordability. One-way carsharing scores very high on… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 5:48pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Samsung nailed it with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The two flagship smartphones are a huge hit, as the strong sales and raving reviews prove -- and that is in no small part due to their cutting edge hardware and attractive software. In fact, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are so good that Consumer Reports thinks they're the best smartphones that you can get today. As in any ranking, there has to be a winner and the bigger Galaxy S8+ takes first place in Consumer Reports' ratings. The Galaxy S8 is a close second though, being different basically only in terms of… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 4:28pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Enterprise users still relying on weak passwords

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 4:06pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Despite moves towards other methods of verification, most enterprises are still using passwords to secure their systems. But based on results from its password assessment tool Preempt Inspector, behavioral firewall company Preempt shows that many enterprise users are still relying on compromised or poor quality passwords. The findings show that 7.34 percent of users have very weak passwords that have appeared in previous security breaches such as those of public cloud services. In addition 13.9 percent of users share passwords with others. Password quality issues beset 19.1 percent, meaning that there's the potential for around one in five enterprise passwords to… [Continue Reading]

  Google Pixel's low sales prove mindshare doesn't equal market share

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 4:04pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If you look at the flagships the media loves to talk about, you may be inclined to believe that the Pixel and Pixel XL are two of the most popular high-end smartphones today. It is easy to think that when you have so many major outlets comparing them to the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ like they're in the same league somehow or as attractive to consumers. In reality though, Pixel and Pixel XL sales are abysmal. How do we know that? Well, for one, you do not see Google showing up… [Continue Reading]

  Intelligent chatbot helps boost endpoint security

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 3:33pm CEST par Ian Barker

Cyber security platform Endgame is introducing new features to simplify attack detection, threat hunting, and response, including the use of an intelligent chatbot. Called Artemis, the bot employs natural language understanding (NLU) to allow users of any skill level to ask simple yet powerful questions and receive the definitive answers required to stop targeted attacks before data theft or damage occurs.

  Microsoft ads slam Google, claiming Windows 10 beats Chromebooks for business and education

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 12:56pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Microsoft's latest anti-Google ad campaign has more than a slight whiff of Scroogled from a few years back. A pair of advertisements lay into Chromebooks, and suggest that Windows 10 devices are far better for both business and education. Google has made much of the benefits that Chromebooks can bring to the classroom, but Microsoft disagrees -- and says Windows 10 Pro is far better for businesses too. In the two ads, the company highlights the security and features of Windows, painting Google's software as insecure and underpowered. Microsoft claims that "Windows 10 Pro provides a superior experience to Chrome"… [Continue Reading]

  Firefox 54 extends multiprocess feature to promise faster, more stable browser

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 12:54pm CEST par Nick Peers

  Mozilla has released Firefox 54.0 for Windows, Mac and Linux, with Firefox for Android 54.0 due imminently. Firefox 54 focuses largely on one major development: support for multi-content processes, which basically gives Firefox the ability to split itself into multiple system processes for faster, more stable browsing. The new feature -- project Electrolysis (also referred to as "e10s") has been rolling out slowly since the release of Firefox 48, when a select band of users were given a version of Firefox that could split itself into two processes: one for its user interface, the other for content. That feature has… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 12:06pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Amazon has launched a new cashback program to attract more people to take out Prime subscriptions. Prime Reload lets subscribers earn 2 percent cashback for making payments with a debit rather than a credit card. It's not quite as simple as that, however; it's not just a case of filling up your basket and checking out. The Reload part of the name refers to the fact that you need to reload your Amazon Gift Card Balance using a debit card. And there lies the rub -- you need to remember to keep your balance topped up. The 2 percent cashback… [Continue Reading]

  Instagram rolls out archiving feature so you can hide unwanted photos without deleting them

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 11:02am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The eyes may be a gateway to the soul, but the feeds of social media accounts can be even more revealing. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and their ilk all give people the opportunity to not only share their lives with the world, but present a particular image of themselves. Of course, there are the occasional posts which, well, let the side down. With this in mind, Instagram is rolling out a new archive feature that makes it possible to remove images from your feed without having to delete them. If you have any embarrassing pictures you'd rather didn’t taint your image,… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft becomes open source Cloud Foundry Foundation Gold Member

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 6:51am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Microsoft is an open source champion. It is weird to say, I know, but it is fact. Yeah, the company makes most of its money from closed source technologies, such as Windows and Office, but it is an open source contributor as well. It has made many quality open source projects available, such as Cognitive Toolkit and PowerShell. Heck, it was even revealed that Microsoft has the most open source contributors on GitHub! Its support for Linux on Azure deserves major kudos too. Today, Microsoft takes its open source focus even further. You see, the Windows-maker has become an official Cloud Foundry… [Continue Reading]

  Tails 3.0 is here -- download the Debian-based Linux distro and take back your privacy

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 3:53am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you are reading this, your privacy is under attack. Don't think hackers or government agencies have any reason to spy on you? Think again. Information is power, and collected data is very valuable. Only a sucker would argue that it doesn't matter because they have nothing to hide. Your liberties can be eroded when you don't join the battle for the overall greater good. In other words, it is important to fight for your rights before it is too late. One way to fight for your privacy is to hide your internet activity from prying eyes. A great option for this --… [Continue Reading]

  What self-driving car makers can learn from the aviation industry

  Publié: juin 14, 2017, 3:29am CEST par Laszlo Kishonti

  Autonomous vehicles (AVs), or driverless cars, are no longer a fantasy idea found only in sci-fi movies. With several car manufacturers already developing self-driving features, and a reported 10 million driverless cars set to hit the road by 2020, it is quickly becoming reality. While driverless cars offer a range of advantages both on a personal and a societal level, the most important is the technology’s ability to improve safety and reduce the number of accidents on the road. Statistics show that as many as 94 percent of car accidents are caused by human error. By replacing drivers with algorithms,… [Continue Reading]
