  Security challenges slow down innovation in the financial sector

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 10:29pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Organizations in the financial services sector are forced to innovate in order to stay relevant. At the same time, innovation is being slowed down by the need to keep data and applications safe, putting organizations in this vertical in quite a tough spot. This conclusion was given out in a new report by Claranet. The report says that striking the right balance between innovation and security is becoming a "key competitive differentiator" in the sector. The report itself is based on a poll of 138 IT and digital decision makers in financial services. Among those, more than half (57 percent) said… [Continue Reading]

  WikiLeaks: CIA's CouchPotato tool grabs footage from remote video streams

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 8:52pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The latest addition to WikiLeaks' Vault 7 cache of CIA documents and tools is a user guide for CouchPotato. This project is designed to capture RTSP/H.264 video streams, typically from networked cameras. This is rather different to the approach taken with the Dumbo project which required physical access to a computer. The CouchPotato documentation is relatively recent, only dating back to February 14, 2014.

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 8:28pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Satechi launches two new Aluminum USB-C adapters -- VGA and Gigabit Ethernet

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 7:47pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  USB-C is everywhere nowadays. You can find it on smartphones, desktops, and laptops. Heck, I recently reviewed an amazing router that leverages the connector for power! Even lower-end laptops are getting in on it, such as the Acer Chromebook 11 C771. The beauty of this connector, besides it being reversible, is that it can support many dongles, adding support for devices you need now, plus future products too. Today, Satechi launches two new such dongles, both of which are made with aluminum. One is a VGA adapter, while the other offers Gigabit Ethernet. "The plug and play Aluminum Type-C to VGA… [Continue Reading]

  Uber adds app messaging between driver and rider

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 7:09pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  If you’re anything like us, you land after a long plane journey, slightly shattered and attempting to adjust to your new time zone then once you’ve finally left passport control and picked up your bags, you simply want to grab a taxi and get to your hotel as quickly as possible. To achieve this, many of course choose to book an Uber. When the process works smoothly, everything is fine. But, sadly, Uber drivers aren’t always offered the same privileges as regular taxis, so you have to somehow navigate your way to a pickup location. To do this, a phone… [Continue Reading]

  Is open banking a nightmare waiting to happen?

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 6:56pm CEST par Richard Whomes

  The world of banking is about to be transformed. In January 2018, the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) will be incorporated into UK law, obliging banks to provide other organizations with access to their customers’ financial information. Known colloquially as the "open banking" directive, the new law is intended to end the monopoly of big banks and to provide consumers with a much wider range of financial services providers to choose from. There are many technical and cultural difficulties that banks will need to overcome in order to comply with the new directive, but perhaps the most serious challenge is… [Continue Reading]

  AMD has been making all the right moves lately, both with CPU and GPU. Its Ryzen processors offer amazing performance without breaking the bank, while the RX 500 series of graphics cards are solid performers for both gaming and the increasingly popular crypto mining.

Seriously, folks, these things are beasts; the top model has an impressive 32 threads! Well, the wait is now over -- today, AMD officially launches Threadripper.

  One in five people put corporate data at risk via unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 4:19pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Employees are putting corporate data at risk by using unsecured hotspots and over sharing on cloud services, according to a new report. The study from cloud security specialist Bitglass set up Wi-Fi hotspots in random public spaces for two hour time slots, and captured and analyzed traffic, finding that of the 834 people in the public spaces, 187 unique devices (around 20 percent) connected. Of that 20 percent, 21 people accessed enterprise cloud applications over the unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot, including Office 365, Salesforce, Adobe Marketing Cloud, ADP, Slack, and Asana -- putting corporate data at risk.

  Poor reliability means Consumer Reports no longer recommends Microsoft Surface -- or any other Microsoft laptop or tablet

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 4:16pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Influential reviewer Consumer Reports says that it no longer recommends Microsoft Surface tablets and laptops. The consumer group says that poor predicted reliability for the Surface range means that it is pulling its "recommended" tag. More than this, Consumer Reports goes on to say that it "cannot recommend any other Microsoft laptops or tablets." Recent studies suggest that a quarter of laptops and tablets from Microsoft will present problems for users within two years of ownership. Consumer Reports is specifically stripping the 128GB and 256GB versions of the Surface Laptop and the 128GB and 512GB versions of the Surface Book… [Continue Reading]

  LG V30 camera has great low light potential

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 3:44pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Smartphone cameras have evolved a great deal over the years, reaching the point where many of us can rely on them to snap important moments in our lives. But if there is one area where major improvements can still be made it's in low light. One way to improve image quality in low light is to use a wider lens aperture, which is what LG has done with its upcoming V30. In fact, the South Korean maker says that it's the widest lens aperture of any smartphone to date. Why does this matter? The benefit of a wide lens aperture is… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 3:38pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The number one priority for security executives is achieving complete breach intolerance according to a new study from endpoint security company Endgame in conjunction with Forrester Research. The study of over 150 security decision makers in large US enterprises also finds 64 percent of executives are concerned that the next breach or attack they experience could be severe, a fear that is heightened by the fact that decision makers don’t know the system or the vector that will be attacked next. Security teams are also being hamstrung by complexity, 71 percent of respondents are using five or more technologies in… [Continue Reading]

  TripIt Pro is the ideal app to relieve you of your airport stress

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 3:37pm CEST par Alex Eckardt

  Navigating through any airport is stressful. Once you’ve queued for check-in, passed through security and trawled duty free, most people would locate the lounge for a couple of drinks. Problem is, it’s very easy to get lost in the moment and realize you’ve got to find your gate. That gate could be far further than you imagined and may even require a shuttle train to get you there in time. And that’s if you can find it at all! The answer to this conundrum and much more is in the latest update of the TripIt app, released today. The paid-for… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla Information Trust Initiative is ready to fight fake news

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 1:18pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook is not the only tech company looking to tackle the problem of fake news online. Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, has created the Mozilla Information Trust Initiative (MITI) in a bid to increase the credibility of the internet. This is not a solo venture. Mozilla is seeking partners it can work with to conduct further research into fake news, and then develop products to battle what it terms "information pollution" online. The company recognizes that the fake news phenomenon is not properly understood, and that the techniques used to disseminate twisted versions of stories are advanced.

  EaseUS Partition Master 12.5 Free should be your choice of disk management tool

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 1:10pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Buy a new computer and you’ll often find it ships with one big partition, which can be inconvenient. We usually allocate space on a drive to our music collection, documents and other important files. By partitioning one large hard drive in to separate drives, it makes it easy to manage, backup and migrate content. You can perform basic partitioning tasks within Windows, such as creating, resizing or assigning a new drive label. However, we’d always recommend a complete partitioning toolkit and there’s few better than EaseUS Partition Master 12.5 Free. At a basic level, the user-interface contains every tool you’ll require to create,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 12:47pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many businesses rely on outsourcing some or all of their IT to managed service providers (MSPs), but a new study from Kaspersky Lab reveals that two out of three MSPs are suffering from a shortage of qualified cyber security staff. Among the findings are that cyber security is no longer seen as a separate or optional function among MSPs with 92 percent now including it as part of their portfolio of services. More than half (51 percent) cite security as essential to their customers' operational continuity in the next three to five years. Cyber security is expected to boost MSP… [Continue Reading]

  Two months ago, Russian security software firm Kaspersky Labs filed antitrust complaints against Microsoft in Europe, alleging that the software giant was favoring its own Windows Defender over third-party anti-virus software in Windows 10. In response to that lawsuit, Microsoft has made changes to how the forthcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update works with anti-virus software, and an appeased Kaspersky has dropped its complaint.

  Leaked exploits and hacking tools enable the surge of cyber attacks in 2017

  Publié: août 10, 2017, 2:55am CEST par Adam Meyer

  Last year, the interconnectedness of cybercrime was demonstrated by a variety of supply chain hacks and other well-known cybersecurity issues that coalesced to create massive botnets powered by compromised Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. The events from the first half of 2017 highlight another long-developing issue, which has been made worse by a variety of data dumps from actors such as WikiLeaks, TheShadowBrokers, and others: the leakage of state-sponsored and cybercriminal hacking tools and exploits. Much like leaked personal data, once those vulnerabilities, exploits, and tools are exposed, they forever remain in the cybercriminal public domain. The May outbreak of WannaCry ransomware… [Continue Reading]
