  Businesses spend $2,300 to deal with a malware attack

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 11:38pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  To remedy a malware attack businesses need to shell out, on average, $2,300 per attack. This is according to a new report by Arbor Networks. The report, produced in partnership with research organization 451 Research, says spear phishing attacks are still most successful of all the different methods of entry. However, they won’t stick with spear phishing if it doesn’t work. They will use whatever is cheap, free or available as long as it works. Financial and identity frauds are losing popularity, the report says, as cybercriminals move towards more profitable and less complex strategies. "We have produced a very… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 File History backup feature makes a welcome return in Insider Build 16226

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 8:45pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10’s File History feature automatically backs up your files to another drive and lets you restore them if the originals get lost, damaged, or deleted. It’s saved my bacon on more than one occasion and I wouldn’t be without it. However, starting with the accidental Insider Build 16212 released earlier this month, the feature disappeared, and was still missing in Build 16215 which followed a week later. For Insiders lamenting the loss of the feature, the great news is that although Microsoft hasn’t mentioned it, File History is back in Build 16226. Microsoft never gave a reason as to… [Continue Reading]

  Using technology to attract research and investment

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 8:37pm CEST par Simon Burbidge

  It is widely recognized that supercomputers are now regarded as the 'third pillar' of modern research due to the important role they play in speeding up calculations and analysis, some of which would previously have taken many years to complete. Supercomputers are used alongside scientific theory and experimentation to complement the scientific research process. The value and importance of High Performance Computing (HPC) at universities has grown massively over the past decade, and it’s no exception at the University of Bristol. We’ve invested more than £16 million in HPC and research data storage over the past 10 years. In May… [Continue Reading]

  Twitch to stream free six-day marathon of classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 8:16pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Twitch was designed as a video game streaming service, but since Amazon bought it, it seems to be evolving into something more. While it is still primarily a platform for showing off gaming, people are using it for general videos, broadcasting pretty much anything. Heck, the service has even offered marathons of classic TV shows, such as Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and Power Rangers. Today, Twitch announces its latest marathon offering -- Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you aren't familiar with the cult-classic show, it features a man and two puppet-robots that talk over old B-level films. In other words, you are… [Continue Reading]

  One in three UK businesses has a digital executive

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 8:05pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  More than a third of the largest companies in the UK now have a digital executive whose sole task is to pull a competitive advantage from digital transformation efforts. With a 35 percent adoption rate, it is much higher than the global average of 19 percent. This is according to a new report by Strategy&, PwC’s strategy consulting business. All around the world, however, businesses are realizing the potential of having a dedicated digital executive. Two years ago, only six percent of companies have had a digital leader hired. The report, based on an analysis of the top 2,500 public companies… [Continue Reading]

  Tesla working on music streaming service: report

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 7:31pm CEST par Mark Raby

  Tesla, Inc. is reportedly in talks with music labels to come out with its own music streaming service that would supposedly compete with an already saturated market, and presumably focused only on the experience of listening to music in your car. This comes from a report from Recode, which has quoted a Tesla spokesperson on record as saying, "We believe it’s important to have an exceptional in-car experience so our customers can listen to the music they want from whatever source they choose." Obviously, embedding music apps into the modern connected car is already a very common practice. However, traditional… [Continue Reading]

  Google to finally stop scanning Gmail messages

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 7:13pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Somewhat controversially, Google has always scanned messages in Gmail in order to be able to present users with relevant, personalized adverts based on the email content. That’s something that has always worried people who are concerned with what personal information the company might be gleaning from their inboxes. In a surprise announcement, the search giant today declares its intention to end the long-standing policy. Diane Green, SVP, Google Cloud explains: G Suite’s Gmail is already not used as input for ads personalization, and Google has decided to follow suit later this year in our free consumer Gmail service. Consumer Gmail… [Continue Reading]

  Russian hackers stole and sold passwords belonging to British politicians

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 4:43pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  An investigation by the Times has found that passwords belonging to British officials have been traded by Russian hackers. The passwords and email addresses of tens of thousands of politicians, senior police officers and diplomats were sold or swapped following an attack on LinkedIn in 2012. As well as LinkedIn, some information seems to have been garnered from MySpace. The credentials for politicians, including education secretary Justine Greening and business secretary Greg Clark, were initially put on the market for sale or trade, but were later made available free of charge. The National Cyber Security Centre has issued security advice… [Continue Reading]

  Cyber attacks and regulations don't change businesses' digital transformation plans

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 2:50pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Businesses looking to digitally transform won’t be intimidated by cyber-attacks or data protection regulations, according to a new report by Advanced. Based on a poll of more than 500 senior executives in UK organizations, Advanced says organizations are concerned, but won’t give up. Security (82 percent) and data protection (68 percent) of cloud solutions top the list of concerns, but 80 percent of them won’t quit digitally transforming. A third (33 percent) say they’re experienced in the cloud and will consider it for new projects. Another third (37 percent) have recently launched cloud projects for the first time.

  Google will now hide personal medical records from search results

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 2:16pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Google has updated its search policies without any sort of fanfare. The search engine now "may remove" -- in addition to existing categories of information -- "confidential, personal medical records of private people" from search results. That such information was not already obscured from search results may well come as something of a surprise to many people. The change -- first reported by Bloomberg -- has been confirmed by Google, although the company has not issued any form of announcement about it. While Google likes to be seen to have a largely hands-off approach to search results, there are circumstances… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 1:16pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  On Wednesday, Microsoft rolled out Build 16226 for Windows Insiders on the Fast ring. While this Windows 10 Fall Creators Update build is a little buggier than most, it’s also jam-packed full of new features and improvements, including Edge tweaks, new Emoji, OneDrive Files On-Demand, a new Currency Converter function in Calculator, and updates to Storage Sense and Touch Keyboard. It turns out there are also some other big improvements that we weren’t initially aware of, and more known issues to watch out for, including one that prevents the new build from installing correctly.

  Google Photos removes backup while charging option

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 1:12pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  As a tool to backup your photos and videos to the cloud, Google Photos should give you a fair degree of control over how and when you want the backups to be performed. However, a new update to the popular app on Android manages to do quite the opposite, removing a very useful feature -- which is sure to frustrate some users. Google Photos has dropped the backup while charging option from the settings menu, forcing users to either perform backups manually or accept that backups can happen anytime their smartphone or tablet is connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network.… [Continue Reading]

  Scratch 2.0 now available for Raspberry Pi, but there is a catch

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 12:33pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Scratch provides a great introduction to programming for all ages, which is why it's included in Raspbian, the operating system that powers the Raspberry Pi. You can also use it to write code to control and respond to components connected to the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) pins on a Pi, and there’s a new version of the tool available from today. Interacting with GPIO pins in Scratch 2.0 is easier than before, with custom blocks for setting the pin output (and getting the current pin state) replacing the old text-based broadcast instructions, which is a big step in… [Continue Reading]

  Cloud-native workloads gain momentum

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 12:08pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey shows that 18 percent of organizations now have more than half of their workloads in cloud-native environments. In addition many are moving from on-premises and self-hosting toward shared environments, distributing workloads across multiple providers. The study by cloud security and network software firm Cohesive Networks also finds 57 percent of respondents say that cloud-native workloads make up at least 20 percent of applications in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). In addition 64 percent strategically use multiple cloud providers for development, testing, and production workloads. The speed and lack of friction in the cloud allows more experimentation and flexibility. Cloud IaaS… [Continue Reading]

  Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new mission statement for Facebook. The social network is no longer interested in making the world "more open and connected," now it wants to "give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together." The change of direction will set Facebook's course for the next decade, and it was revealed at the Facebook Communities Summit.

  Virgin Media warns Super Hub 2 owners to change their passwords due to hacking risk

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 10:28am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Virgin Media is urging hundreds of thousands of customers with its Super Hub 2 router to change their passwords after a Which? investigation uncovered a way for hackers to gain access to the device. If the password for the router is not changed from its default there is a risk from hacking, but Virgin Media said the risk is small. Nevertheless, as a precautionary measure a password change is the advice for more than 800,000 users. In its defence, the company points out that the problem is not specific to just the Super Hub 2, saying other routers of the… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 23, 2017, 2:59am CEST par Michael Moore

  When it comes to the high-powered computing market and data center sectors, Intel has had a firm lead over the competition for some time.

Offering a fully scalable solution that it says can out-perform Intel’s offerings, AMD’s EPYC was revealed to the world at an event in Austin, Texas, attended by ITProPortal. The launch was not just a spontaneous decision though, as AMD CTO Mark Papermaster revealed at a media briefing before the launch event. "We didn't… [Continue Reading]
