  How to download and install Windows 10 S

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 9:48pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 S is a special locked down version of Microsoft’s new operating system. It’s aimed primarily at those in education, and can only run apps from the Windows Store, which offers security benefits, including protection from ransomware. While the OS is predominately to be found on new hardware like the Surface Laptop, Microsoft last week made it available for developers, and from today anyone can officially download and install it. Here’s how. Firstly go to this page here. Although it’s for testing Windows 10 s on existing education devices, anyone can download the self-installer.

  Wi-Fi chip vulnerability affects one billion Android and iOS devices

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 9:27pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Millions of smartphones around the world could have been affected by a Wi-Fi security flaw, security researchers have claimed. Broadcom's mobile Wi-Fi chips hid a vulnerability on them which could have allowed malicious actors to potentially attack a billion Android or iOS devices. Fortunately, the vulnerability, which was demonstrated at the recently held Black Hat conference by security researcher Nitay Artenstein, has now been patched. Artenstein developed malicious code which he could transmit through the air, probing nearby devices. Once a device with the BCM43xx family Wi-Fi chipset was found, the code could rewrite the firmware that controls the chip, allowing… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon Fire TV finally gets Echo support

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 8:31pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I'm not sure how I got here, exactly, but I seem to be all-in on Amazon home devices lately. I have one Amazon Echo and two of its smaller Dot models. I can use these voice assistant devices to control my television, lights, surveillance cameras, and thermostat. Last week, I bought a Fire TV stick to replace my Nexus Player, because my TV provider does not support HBO go on Android TV -- weird, but true. You know what? I couldn't be happier. Well, actually, I am a bit happier today. Why? Because my Echo devices can now control my Fire… [Continue Reading]

  UK Home Secretary supports back doors while claiming 'real people' don't need end-to-end encryption

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 5:22pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Amber Rudd, the UK Home Secretary, has claimed that "real people often prefer ease of use and a multitude of features to perfect, unbreakable security." Rudd holds the Conservative government's belief that it should be able to access encrypted messages, even when end-to-end encryption is used, such as with WhatsApp. Using terrorism as a justification for wanting to gain access to encrypted messages, she goes on make extraordinary and misguided claims about what she and the government want. Her bizarre and misinformed rant in the Daily Telegraph is deeply concerning, not only because of the implications her suggestions have on… [Continue Reading]

  Surface Plus Program is Microsoft's new financing scheme

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 5:05pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you need a Windows 10 computer, you can't go wrong with a Surface. Slowly but surely, Microsoft diversified its offerings, which now includes a tablet, two laptops, and an all-in-one-desktop. In other words, the Windows-maker recognized that one size does not fit all. Regardless of your needs, you can probably find a Surface that makes you happy. The problem? These Surface computers are expensive. Actually, they can be very costly -- especially with top specifications. If you find yourself wanting one of these computers, but don't have any money in savings, I have good news. Today, Microsoft launches the Surface Plus Program for… [Continue Reading]

  Attacks from unknown threats increase by 40 percent

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 4:44pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The second quarter of this year has seen two of the largest recorded cyber attacks in WannaCry and NotPetya, and the latest quarterly report from Panda Security reveals there's been an increase in unknown threats too. PandaLabs analyzed attack data collected from all devices protected by one of Panda Security's solutions and discovered a 40 percent increase in attacks from unknown threats from the previous quarter. Among other trends identified is that ransomware is still on the rise, and will continue to do so as long as there are victims willing to pay. Also lost or stolen data is a problem… [Continue Reading]

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 is here

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 4:16pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Red Hat, Inc is a wonderful example of how a company can be successful with open source solutions. There is this misguided stereotype that Linux and open source are just hobbies and that contributors are typically anti-social misfits coding in mom's basement. If you believe such foolishness, I feel bad for you. Actually, Red Hat, Inc has made billions with open source, and its RHEL distribution is an excellent choice for the enterprise. Today, RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) reaches version 7.4. It can be had immediately so that IT departments can begin testing. Once everything checks out, they can roll out to… [Continue Reading]

  New storage platform offers data protection and seamless scaling

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 3:44pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In the past companies have relied on different secondary storage solutions for backup and recovery, and for archiving large amounts of structured and unstructured data. But as businesses need to store larger amounts of more diverse data this creates headaches for administrators as the same information collects on both solutions and may need to be handled via different interfaces. Storage company Cohesity is aiming to eliminate these inefficiencies with the launch of Orion 5.0, a platform for data protection and archiving that seamlessly spans on-premises and cloud infrastructure and can be managed through a simple, single-pane-of-glass user interface. It offers… [Continue Reading]

  Malwarebytes for Mac 3 now available

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 3:08pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Although we’re still not convinced you really need additional third-party real-time protection on a Mac, you could always install an "on demand" service which, rather than running continuously in the background, will scan your computer when you’re not trying to render animation, export a 4K video or crunch numbers, which all require vital CPU cycles. Step up Malwarebytes for Mac 3, which was released yesterday. The previously titled Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was a huge success on the Windows platform, both as a free and premium version and it has now fully transitioned to the Mac OS. Available as a free on-demand scanner,… [Continue Reading]

  71 percent of SMBs are not prepared for cyber security risks

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 2:53pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Small and medium sized businesses increasingly feel that they're vulnerable to cyber threats but most aren't prepared to meet them. A new survey from endpoint security specialist Webroot finds that 96 percent of businesses with 100 to 499 employees in the US, UK and Australia believe their organizations will be susceptible to external cybersecurity threats in 2017. But although they recognize the threats, 71 percent admit to not being ready to address them. Among other findings are that IT decision makers (ITDMs) at SMBs are most worried about new forms of malware infections (56 percent), mobile attacks (48 percent), and… [Continue Reading]

  How Amazon Echo could be used to spy on you

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 1:05pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As we acquire more voice activated smart devices, there's always the risk that they could be eavesdropping on day-to-day conversations. We've already seen reports of spying TVs, and now MWR InfoSecurity has exposed a vulnerability in Amazon Echo that can turn it into a listening device without affecting its functionality. Exploiting the vulnerability does require physical access to the device. By removing the rubber base at the bottom of the Echo, the research team was able to access the 18 debug pads and directly boot into the firmware of the device, via an external SD card, and install persistent malware… [Continue Reading]

  Apple and Google pull binary trading apps from their stores after financial scams

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 1:03pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A recent investigation by The Independent uncovered a financial scam that was placing thousands of people at risk. An increasing number of binary trading options have proved to be fraudulent, and in the UK they fall outside the control of financial regulators. Binary option scams have been described as "possibly the biggest financial scam in the world," and Apple and Google have cleared hundreds of trading apps from the App Store and Google Play after a review by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). ASIC said that it has looked at a large number of apps offering binary options… [Continue Reading]

  UK MPs want a minimum 10 Mbps standard for broadband

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 12:06pm CEST par Michael Moore

  The UK government has been urged to take urgent action against poor broadband speeds across the UK in a new report by a cross-party group of MPs. Millions of users across the UK are still not getting the minimum standard of internet connectivity needed to enjoy the benefits of modern networks, according to the Broadbad 2.0 report, which has been signed by 57 MPs from all of the three main parties. The report, which has been organized by the British Infrastructure Group of MPs (BIG) and chaired by Conservative MP Grant Shapps, is now calling on the government to "finally introduce minimum standards for… [Continue Reading]

  Google announces Nearby Connections 2.0 complete with offline communication

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 10:43am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The second iteration of Nearby Connections -- called, funnily enough, Nearby Connections 2.0 -- is upon us. Google has released the API to Android developers, giving them access to greater bandwidth, reduced latency, and -- most excitingly -- offline functionality. Working over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Nearby Connections 2.0 makes it possible for devices to communicate with each other without the need for an internet connection. The API is supported by Android devices running Google Play services 11.0 and above, and it is essentially a peer-to-peer system that works much like a next-generation version of NFC. So what's the potential for… [Continue Reading]

  NotPetya isn't your typical ransomware

  Publié: août 1, 2017, 1:21am CEST par Matt Lock

  Ransomware is often considered a somewhat low-stakes annoyance: in most cases, the data itself doesn’t leave the network and public operations aren’t compromised. NotPetya changed the game -- it’s shown us the potential of how wildly damaging ransomware infections can be from here on out. It can feel like science fiction at times, but is now utterly reasonable to consider any data or device with a CPU and memory on your network as something that can be held hostage by ransomware. Ransomware has proven to be a lucrative endeavor: more and more central and important systems are being targeted. Cryptolocker targeted… [Continue Reading]
