  Blockchain technology is an integral part of FinTech's future

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 10:30pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Blockchain technology is perceived as "critical" for the future of financial services companies, a new report by Cognizant has shown. A poll of more than 1,500 financial services executives from more than 500 companies worldwide found that 91 percent saw implementation of blockchain technology to be critical for the firm’s future. However, the report found that there is still  "significant uncertainty" on how the blockchain system will develop. Essentially all respondents (98 percent) believe blockchain will save them money. Roughly 75 percent expect revenues to grow five percent after implementation. Half (46 percent) think it will help with transparency, 40 percent… [Continue Reading]

  Fractal Design launches 'Define C TG' chassis series with tempered glass

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 9:11pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  One of my favorite computer chassis-makers is Fractal Design. Why? Well, the company's designs are both affordable and no-nonsense. Rather than make its cases look like spaceships for children, the designers focus on conservative designs that real PC builders appreciate. In other words, they are not form over function. Don't misunderstand me, the chassis designs aren't boring; just classy rather than flashy. Today, Fractal Design launches a tempered glass update to one of its most popular case series  -- Define C. If you aren't familiar these cases, they ditch the front cages, making the chassis less deep. This is not just better for aesthetics, but… [Continue Reading]

  Most IT departments in UK under pressure to reduce costs

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 8:19pm CEST par Michael Moore

  IT departments across the UK will soon face major budget cutbacks over the next five years as companies try to get a handle on increased costs, new research has claimed. A shocking 92 percent of IT departments are under pressure to reduce expenditure, according to a poll of over 900 IT leaders by Fuze. On average, CIO are being asked to make average savings of 12 percent of their current budgets by 2021, meaning many are needing to make tough decisions sooner than expected. Unsurprisingly, these cuts are leading many CIOs to feel that their department is being judged unfairly, with… [Continue Reading]

  As Game of Thrones spoilers leak online, Panda Security issues a stark warning

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 5:48pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  This week's hack of HBO led to the release of stolen episodes of Ballers and Room 104, and the threat of Game of Thrones leaks. Now the hackers have made good on their threat and uploaded scripts and episode summaries for yet-to-be-aired episodes, and speculation is rife that it is just a matter of time before episodes hit torrent sites such as The Pirate Bay. Season seven of the show is just getting underway, and details of episodes three and four have now been published online. Other files have also been leaked following the hack, including log in credentials for… [Continue Reading]

  Security teams lack the right endpoint detection tools

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 5:08pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey of IT and security professionals reveals that many teams lack the appropriate endpoint detection and response tools to quickly and efficiently deal with security alerts without the need to take endpoints offline to re-image them. The survey of 385 North American professionals by forensic security specialist Guidance Software reveals that 95 percent of respondents say advanced software functionality for malware removal and system recovery -- without the need to re-image a system -- is important in an endpoint security suite. Perhaps no surprise then that 23 percent of respondents cite re-imaging endpoints as one of their organization's top… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft partners with PayPal on new 'Send Money' funds transfer feature for Skype

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 4:19pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Skype isn't the best communication service. Actually, it is often quite bad. Microsoft's development team seems to not care about the user interface as it looks terrible compared to competitors. Quite frankly, it is often a frustrating experience. The saving grace for Skype is its cross-platform nature -- there are clients for all popular operating systems. Not to mention, many users likely use it out of habit and name recognition. All is not lost, however, as Microsoft still has plenty of time to right the ship and make Skype better. Today, the Windows-maker unveils a new feature that, while cool, doesn't exactly… [Continue Reading]

  Malicious SSL content more than doubles in six months

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 4:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As the overall percentage of encrypted traffic increases, hackers are increasingly using SSL to conceal device infections, and hide their other activities. A new study from Zscaler finds that an average of 60 percent of the transactions in the Zscaler security cloud have been delivered over SSL/TLS. "Hackers are increasingly using SSL to conceal device infections, shroud data exfiltration and hide botnet command and control communications. In fact, our study found that the amount of phishing attempts per day delivered over SSL/TLS has increased 400 percent from 2016," says Deepen Desai, senior director, security research and operations at Zscaler.

  Kaspersky (partly) launches its 2018 security products

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 4:11pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Every year, with a rather confusing release schedule, Kaspersky’s global office will launch and announce their current range, but only in a select number of territories. As an example, Kaspersky Internet Security 2018 and Total Security 2018 are available in the United States, Australia, Malaysia, but not in the United Kingdom, Europe and most other countries. The launch for the rest of the world will happen in early September when the products are fully localized. All is not lost though. If you want to download the 2018 edition, earlier than the official launch in your territory, the US English version is available for… [Continue Reading]

  What is Bitcoin Cash and why should you care about it?

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 3:32pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Bitcoin Cash may be a newcomer in the cryptocurrency scene, but it is already one of the most important players in this market. It is now valued at over $12 billion, only trailing Bitcoin and Ethereum by market cap, which is impressive if you consider that it was only created on August 1. But, how did we end up here? Bitcoin Cash arrives as a result of disagreements in the Bitcoin scene regarding the direction of the oldest cryptocurrency. Most backers supported an in-place upgrade (soft fork) of Bitcoin to improve scaling issues, while a faction argued that the proposed solutions… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon suspends Blu smartphone sales over spyware concerns

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 2:50pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Amazon has once again decided to suspend sales of the popular budget Android smartphone maker Blu as many of its devices came preloaded with spyware. The Miami-based company has been suspended from selling its phones on the e-commerce site after cybersecurity experts at Kryptowire revealed that software on its devices was collecting sensitive user data and sending it to China. The pre-installed software on Blu phones came from the Chinese company Shangai Adups Technology and was found on several of the device manufacturer's smartphones.  The spyware leaves users vulnerable to remote takeovers, having their calls and texts recorded and other… [Continue Reading]

  Unlimited data plans are killing 4G speeds in the US

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 1:23pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  4G speeds are slowing down for many people in the US as unlimited data plans become more prevalent. OpenSignal has just published its latest report into the state of mobile networks in the US, and for many people it is bleak reading. Unlimited data plans have been rolled out by AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon now. While networks that have supplied such packages for a while (T-Mobile and Sprint) have managed to increase the speed of 4G connections for customers, speeds have dropped for AT&T and Verizon users just six months after the introduction of unlimited plans. OpenSignal's report looks… [Continue Reading]

  The return of the long-lasting DDoS attack and the rise of RDoS

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 12:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The latest DDoS intelligence report from Kaspersky Lab shows that long-lasting attacks are making a comeback. The longest attack in the second quarter of this year was active for 277 hours (more than 11 days) -- which is a 131 percent increase compared to the first quarter and a current record for the year. It shows that the geography of incidents has changed too, organizations with online resources located in 86 countries were targeted, compared to 72 countries in Q1. The top 10 most affected countries are, China, South Korea, US, Hong Kong, UK, Russia, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada and… [Continue Reading]

  NSA illegally spied on Kim Dotcom in New Zealand

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 11:43am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Kim Dotcom has been of interest to the US government and law enforcement agencies for some time, and it was ruled that the Mega and Megaupload founder could be extracted to the US. But now it seems that the NSA was spying on the internet entrepreneur after surveillance was supposed to have stopped. New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) had been working with the NSA on a joint surveillance operation called Operation Debut. While surveillance was supposed to have stopped in January 2012, it has emerged that the NSA continued to use GCSB's technology without its knowledge. According to… [Continue Reading]

  Will Trump avoid military action against North Korean ICBMs?

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 11:41am CEST par Robert X. Cringely

  We’re just a blind man and an 11 year-old boy, but Fallon and I have been learning a lot about North Korean ballistic missiles and the news is sobering for a world already in crisis. Not only does North Korea have missiles capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, that has been a well known fact in intelligence circles (not just at our house) since early 2016. The North Koreans probably have a 10-20 kiloton nuclear device of deliverable size and even if they don’t it’s easy to send a dirty bomb instead. Our capability for monitoring such activity from space… [Continue Reading]

  From hack to product: soon you'll be able to control Windows 10 with your eyes

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 10:32am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  There are a lot of accessibility options built into Windows 10 at the moment, and soon there'll be a new feature. Brought about by an idea raised at Microsoft's 2014 hackathon, the company is bringing Eye Control to its operating system. As the name suggests, Eye Control gives users the ability to control and interact with Windows 10 using eye movements -- something which is incredibly useful for anyone with limited movement. The feature is destined for inclusion in a future version of Windows 10, but a beta version will be made available to Windows Insiders. The project is born… [Continue Reading]

  Lian Li launches jaw-dropping DK-05 motorized adjustable desk PC chassis

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 1:06am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There seems to be a bit of a trend lately, where more and more computer builders are opting for smaller cases. In other words, rather than use a full ATX board and chassis, they are going for micro ATX and mini ITX. While I am sure aesthetics play a part, there is definitely one big benefit -- desk space. A smaller PC should provide the user with more surface room. With that said, they could get even more space by simply putting the computer on, say, the floor or separate table, but I digress. If you want to truly maximize desk… [Continue Reading]

  OpenAI framework used to create undetectable malware

  Publié: août 2, 2017, 12:27am CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Some of the most notable machine learning tools can be hijacked in order to create super-powerful malware capable of bypassing most anti-virus systems, researchers have claimed. At the recent DEF CON event, security company Endgame revealed how it created customized malware using Elon Musk's own OpenAI framework that security engines were unable to detect. Endgame's research was based around taking binaries that appeared to be malicious, and by changing a few parts, that code could appear benign to antivirus engines. The company's technical director of data science, Hyrum Anderson, highlighted that even changing some small details could allow it to bypass AV engines and explained… [Continue Reading]
