  Security speak: How smart tech can help make your home safer

  Publié: septembre 7, 2017, 8:22pm CEST par Eric Murrell

  New technology can be exciting, but it tends to be confusing as well. Those of us who grew up in in the 90s may remember the new fad of installing high-tech security systems with cutting-edge motion sensors and state-of-the art wall panels. Every one of those worked great… for about a week. What began as a flurry of excitement and restful nights quickly turned into a big hassle, as false alarms woke the neighbors, and parents struggled to remember the right key combinations to get things back to normal. After a few short months, those once-exciting upgrades gathered dust, and… [Continue Reading]

  Hackers can take control of Siri, Cortana and other digital assistants with ultrasonic commands

  Publié: septembre 7, 2017, 5:00pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Security researchers have discovered that digital assistants, including Alexa, Siri and Cortana, are vulnerable to hacking via inaudible voice commands. Known as the DolphinAttack, the exploit involves the use of ultrasonic commands that cannot be heard by humans. Researchers from China's Zhejiang University have detailed the attack technique in a paper, but there are so many limitations and caveats that the vulnerability is not something that most people need worry about. The DolphinAttack -- so-called because dolphins use ultrasonic frequencies to communicate -- could be used to control a large number of smartphones, computers, cars and other smart devices, and… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook says it is likely Russia paid for polarizing political ads during US election

  Publié: septembre 7, 2017, 2:06pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Speculation about Russian interference in the US election that saw Donald Trump propelled to presidency has been rife for months.

The ads appeared between 2015 and 2017, and touched on polarizing topics such as gun rights, LGBT issues, race and immigration.

It looks at the risks of malicious mail and weak passwords, as well as the top threats including spear phishing and ransomware. It also points out that 43 percent of data losses are due to internal incidents. Far from being immune, smaller companies suffer more attacks,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 7, 2017, 12:28am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Thanks to the MacBook Pro, the popularity of Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C docks and dongles has exploded. If you have accessories that use USB Type-A, for instance, they simply won't work with Apple's latest laptop without the use of an adapter. Heck, the machine does not even feature a standard video-out port, so an HDMI, VGA, or DisplayPort dongle must be utilized. If you use your MacBook Pro as a makeshift desktop with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, investing in a dock or docking station would be a wise move. Today, a new such product from a company called "LandingZone" caught my attention.… [Continue Reading]
