  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 8:08pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

New research from digital security firm Gemalto found that, despite the increasing number of data breaches and nearly 1.4 billion data records being lost or stolen in 2016, the vast majority of IT Professionals still believe perimeter security is effective at keeping unauthorized users out of their networks.

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 7:11pm CEST par Mark Raby

  Nintendo is finally bringing a third-party video streaming service to its Switch console for the first time since the system launched in March. However, it's not Netflix or Hulu. It's Niconico, Japan's main YouTube rival which launched in 2006 but has become an increasingly popular platform in the country in recent years (it's currently among the top 10 websites in Japan). This means, obviously, that the app will only be available to users who have a Japanese Nintendo Switch account. Anyone in any region can create such an account, however, the content and navigation will of course only be in… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 4:49pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While internal hard drives are great if you are OK with data remaining in a computer 24/7, sometimes you want to physically secure data at the end of the day. No, I don't mean encryption; I am talking literally locking a hard drive or solid state disk in a safe or desk drawer. This is essential for some businesses, where theft of a drive could be catastrophic. Today, Startech unveils a clever new product that makes this practice easy. It is a 2.5-inch drive enclosure that plugs into a bay adapter on the front of a PC. The adapter itself can… [Continue Reading]

  Shopping cart attack provides insight into criminal operations

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 3:55pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The Magecart attack which injects JavaScript into unpatched eCommerce sites in order to capture payment information first appeared in October last year. Researchers at threat management specialist RiskIQ have been following a new strain of Magecart and found that it offers a rare insight into the operations of the actors behind digital threats. By logging consumer keystrokes, Magecart captures large quantities of payment card information from unsuspecting shoppers. This stolen data typically gets packaged and sold as CVV dumps, on websites where transactions involving stolen credit card data take place.

  SMBs lack clear plans on cyber-attack aftermaths

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 12:55pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  There’s plenty of talk on how small and medium-sized businesses can and should protect themselves from cyber-attacks. However, when it comes to the aftermath of a cyber-attack, things are awkwardly quiet. This is according to a new report by PolicyBee, which says cyber recovery is not really in the minds of SMB owners. This is despite a third of those surveyed saying that they think a cyber-attack is inevitable, with a further quarter believing it is "likely" to happen. Yet, three quarters (74 percent) haven’t put aside any budget to deal with the aftermath, and over four in ten (43 percent) say… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 2:46am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Brits still use public Wi-Fi for things they should not, a new report by Norton by Symantec claims. By doing so, they’re putting a lot of their personal information at risk. The report says most consumers have a "false sense of security" when using public Wi-Fi. Almost two thirds (65 percent) feel safe when they use public Wi-Fi, and less than a fifth (19 percent) use a VPN. While online, on a public Wi-Fi, one in 12 admit watching porn. Out of those people, a quarter (24 percent) are doing it at work, while 47 percent have done it in… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 12, 2017, 12:46am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Last week we reported how Microsoft is laying off thousands of its workers as it shifts its focus towards cloud a bit more. It was reported, on multiple occasions, that it will be sales jobs, and mostly abroad, that will be nixed. However, new media reports are now painting a different picture. Among those that left the company is Jim DuBois. DuBois, who left the company last Friday, was Microsoft's chief information officer. He was named CIO in 2013. Prior to this position, he's held various positions in Microsoft, since 1993. According to Geekwire, he will be succeeded by Kurt… [Continue Reading]
