In total, the project will cost $921 million and the company expects that its new data center will begin operations during the second quarter of 2019. The data center will be located in Aabenraa in southern Denmark close to the German border and it will power all of Apple's online services across Europe, including Siri, Maps, iMessage, the iTunes Store and the App Store. The company is not alone in deciding to build data centers in Europe though. In January, Facebook… [Continue Reading]

  Citi Pay joins the mobile/online fray

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 7:53pm CEST par Mark Raby

  If you thought there weren't enough digital "Pay" platforms in the United States... you would be in a class by yourself. Nevertheless, there is a new option in the ever-expanding "digital wallet" marketplace. The latest entrant is Citibank, the US's fourth-largest banking institution. Its unique take in this crowded space is its integration with Masterpass -- Citi customers can check out online and in-app anywhere Masterpass is accepted by using their existing online banking credentials. The launch in the US comes after Citi Pay has already rolled out in a few international markets as of last November, including Australia, Mexico,… [Continue Reading]

  NETGEAR unveils Nighthawk X4S AC3200 WiFi DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem Router (C7800)

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 7:34pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Having two items in one isn't always the best idea. When I was a kid, it was fairly popular to buy a television with an integrated VCR. The problem? When the VCR broke, you had a TV with a non-working video player in it forever. Hilariously, it wasn't uncommon to see people plug standalone VCR units into the televisions when that happened. It looked silly. The trend continued later with TVs that had built-in DVD players. Today, NETGEAR unveils an all-new two-in-one product that is actually very cool. The Nighthawk X4S (C7800), as it is called, is an AC3200 WiFi Cable Modem Router.… [Continue Reading]

  Two new vulnerabilities found in Windows NTLM security protocols

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 7:10pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at behavioral firewall specialist Preempt have discovered two vulnerabilities within the Microsoft Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) security protocols. The first involves unprotected Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) from NTLM relay, and the second discovery impacts Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Restricted-Admin mode. Both vulnerabilities can result in unauthorized credential use, risk of password cracking and potentially domain compromise. "Today's threat landscape continues to expand, highlighting weaknesses in existing security protocols, and these two vulnerabilities are no different," says Ajit Sancheti, CEO and co-founder of Preempt. "NTLM puts organizations and individuals at risk of credential forwarding and password cracking, and… [Continue Reading]

  If you want to invest in the cryptocurrency market, get used to its volatility

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 5:58pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Investing in cryptocurrency is not for the faint of heart. The market is simply too volatile. In a short period of time, it can reach all-time highs and crash, repeatedly, seemingly out of nowhere. The trick is to not let those moments define your actions. Just like you enjoy seeing it break new records, you have to get used to the fact that there will be some terrible days as well. Today is one of those days. All the major cryptocurrencies are in the red, with the vast majority posting double-digit losses over the last 24 hours. It looks like a… [Continue Reading]

  DigitalOcean launches high performance cloud servers for compute intensive applications

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 5:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Although cloud-based server infrastructure is becoming more common, it's not usually suited to applications that need very high levels of CPU performance. Developer-focused cloud platform DigitalOcean wants to change this with High CPU 'Droplets' featuring the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These provide ideal support for applications such as ad exchanges, game servers, highly active front-end application servers, and batch processing. "High CPU is our sixth new offering in twelve months and it's a response to developers who need access to newer and higher performing CPUs," says Julia Austin, CTO of DigitalOcean. "These Droplets are backed by Intel's most powerful… [Continue Reading]

  EFF's latest privacy report criticizes Amazon and WhatsApp over policies that 'fall short'

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 5:11pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published the latest edition of its "Who has your back" privacy report. This is the seventh report from the digital rights group, and this year it criticizes both WhatsApp and Amazon for having policies that "fall short of other similar technology companies." Four big telecom companies -- AT&T, Comcast, T-Mobile, and Verizon -- performed very poorly, while at the other end of the scale Adobe, Credo, Dropbox, Lyft, Pinterest, Sonic, Uber, Wickr, and WordPress were all praised. In all, the report rates 26 technology companies in five key areas relating to privacy and government data… [Continue Reading]

  Rapid response software helps companies recover from ransomware attacks

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 4:14pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Recent high profile ransomware attacks including WannaCry and NotPetya have highlighted the fact that often the time organizations take to recover is just as damaging as the attack itself. Network visibility firm Portnox is aiming to tackle this with the launch of Rapid Ransomware Response and Control as part of its suite of network access control (NAC) systems. Rapid Ransomware Response and Control allows for fast recovery by automatically disconnecting infected devices, as well as any that may be prone to infection or missing necessary patches, preventing the lateral spread of the ransomware throughout the network. By providing full visibility… [Continue Reading]

  Does your IT team fully understand the security pitfalls of SSDs?

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 3:42pm CEST par Richard Stiennon

  Solid state drives (SSDs) are a compelling proposition for IT procurement, as they have several advantages over hard disk drives (HDDs). The lack of moving parts means they generally last longer and are more reliable. Their faster access speed enables programs to run faster. Plus, they use less power, which improves device battery life and generates less noise. Prices are dropping fast, making this less of a factor when evaluating the two technologies side-by-side. It’s no surprise that Gartner predicts 2017 will be the year revenue from enterprise sales of SSDs surpasses that from the older, more established technology. However,… [Continue Reading]

  Fedora 26 Linux distro available for download

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 3:29pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  As a Linux workstation user, I have been using Fedora 26 as my main distro for months now -- first the alpha and then the beta. While it is never suggested to use a pre-release operating system for anything other than testing, at no point did I encounter any apparent bugs -- impressive, right? Today, Fedora 26 sheds its pre-release status and becomes available for download as a stable release. GNOME fans are in for a big treat, as version 3.24 is default. If you stick to stable Fedora releases, this will be your first time experiencing that version of the desktop environment… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 2:27pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  If you use Facebook at all, you have almost certainly seen warnings recently that make reference to Jayden K Smith. You've probably not only been warned about this "hacker" but also been advised to make everyone you know aware of the danger they pose. "Please tell all the contacts in your messenger list not to accept Jayden K. Smith friendship request. He is a hacker and has the system connected to your Facebook account. If one of your contacts accepts it, you will also be hacked, so make sure that all your friends know it," reads the message. It is… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter's new muting controls make it easier to avoid trolls

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 1:45pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Abuse, harassment and trolling on Twitter is a serious problem, and something that sees many users -- celebrities in particular -- forced off the site. Having already introduced a quality filter to help reduce unwanted content, Twitter is now making it possible to block notifications from various types of account, such as those that don’t follow you. As an extra safeguard, you can opt to block notifications from new accounts, thereby helping to avoid the problem of trolls who bypass blocks by signing up under a new username. The "advanced filter settings" are available online as well as in the… [Continue Reading]

  Google Search currently recommending the best pirate sites

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 11:29am CEST par Wayne Williams

  It used to be very easy to find pirated movies, music and software using Google Search, but the company has taken steps over the past few years to downgrade sites offering easy access to such material. You can still find that content of course, it’s just a lot harder than it used to be. But despite this crackdown, Google has just introduced a new feature that makes it much easier to find the best Torrent sites. All you have to do is search for "best torrent sites" and the search giant will list the recommended choices in a banner at… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu joins the Windows Store Linux party

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 2:21am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  It has been well-established that Microsoft is a friend of open source. The company releases many projects on GitHub, and recently, the Windows-maker became a Cloud Foundry Foundation Gold Member. During Build 2017, the company even shocked the world by announcing it was bringing Linux distributions to the Windows Store. Some SUSE-based distros recently arrived in the Windows Store as promised, but sadly, no Fedora or Ubuntu. While Red Hat's distro is still missing, today, Canonical's finally arrives. Yes, folks, Ubuntu has officially joined the Windows Store Linux party! As was the case with SUSE, this is a Windows Insiders-affair… [Continue Reading]

  5G trials in UK will start next year

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 2:19am CEST par Michael Moore

  The UK is set to take a major step forward in the development of 5G networks following the release of new research funding by the government today. Tests of the next-generation networks are set to begin as early as 2018, spearheaded by three UK universities which have been at the forefront of telecoms research in the past. Kings College London and the Universities of Surrey and Bristol will be the beneficiaries of the funding, which was originally revealed during Chancellor Philip Hammond's spring budget, and is the first part of a four-year program of investment and collaboration in the government’s new 5G… [Continue Reading]

  IT decision makers concerned budget cuts will affect security

  Publié: juillet 11, 2017, 12:20am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Almost two thirds of IT decision makers in the UK (61 percent) think budget cuts will leave a mark on their IT investment abilities. This is according to a new report by Sungard Availability Services, which also reported that almost half (48 percent) of those surveyed expressed worries that their security could also be affected by budget cuts. What makes these results even more interesting is the fact that the UK, besides Canada, is a country least concerned with issues of being compliant with security regulations. Less than a third (32 percent) of UK IT departments see it as one of… [Continue Reading]
