  Kaspersky software banned from US government systems over concerns about Russia

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 8:55pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Department of Homeland Security has told US government agencies to remove Kaspersky software from their systems. The directive was issued because of concerns about influence exerted over the company by the Russian government. Government agencies have been given three months to identify and start to remove Kaspersky's security products. Kaspersky has constantly denied connections to the Russian government, but the US is simply not willing to take the risk.

  VMware has confirmed it will continue to invest in the UK in spite of the worries surrounding Brexit. The company’s head of EMEA operations told media today that Britain’s decision to leave the EU was not going to affect VMware’s position surrounding the country -- at least not for the time being.

  Google plans to appeal €2.42bn EU antitrust fine

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 7:40pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Google will appeal the EU fine of €2.42 billion for abusing its dominant position in the market, reports have claimed. The US giant was fined earlier this year for abusing its monopoly in search engine and shopping comparison services. Google said it respected the EU Commission's ruling, but that it disagrees. A spokesman for the EU commission said: "The commission will defend its decision in court," however it is expected to take years for the Luxembourg-based general court to rule on Google's appeal. The European Commission fined Google on June 27 this year in what is the largest ever fine imposed on… [Continue Reading]

  Bashware: Microsoft refutes claims that Linux makes Windows 10 insecure

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 6:52pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A recent report from Check Point Research suggested that the presence of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10 poses a security risk to Microsoft's operating system. Researchers from Check Point highlighted the issue of Bashware attacks which use WSL to bypass security products. Microsoft, predictably enough, disagrees with the findings -- and so do other researchers. The Windows-maker says it views the risk of Bashware as "low". But is the company being too dismissive?

  Facebook introduces monetization limitations and new advertiser controls

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 5:23pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Today Facebook introduces new limitations on what sort of content can be monetized on its network. It's a move that is designed to keep the social network relatively family friendly, and Facebook also wants to address advertiser concerns about the type of content their ads appear next to. The company is not only clamping down on what can be monetized, it is also doing more to keep advertisers happy, including using third-party verification to measure ad performance. On top of this, Facebook is seeking accreditation from the Media Rating Council for Instagram, Facebook and Audience Network. As part of the… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will give you greater control over your privacy -- but does it go far enough?

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 5:16pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  One of the biggest complaints about Windows 10 is that it spies on its users. Microsoft has reigned in this snooping in past feature updates, and is introducing yet more privacy enhancements in the forthcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. These changes, Microsoft says, will give users greater access to information, as well as more control over what data is collected in the first place. There are two main additions.

  iPhone X vs iPhone 8 vs iPhone 8 Plus: Which Apple flagship should you buy?

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 5:13pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  With the new iPhone X, Apple just made it more difficult to decide which new iPhone to buy. It is no longer a matter of figuring out which display size you prefer or how nice you would like the camera to be. The new kid on the block is different, coming with all sorts of cool features that can make you more confused than ever. It's so different from the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus that it is basically in a category of its own, at the top of Apple's smartphone lineup. But how does it actually compare… [Continue Reading]

  IT professionals are an underused resource for cyber security

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 4:07pm CEST par Ian Barker

  It's widely accepted that there is a shortage of people with cyber security skills, yet a new study shows that companies are failing to give IT professionals -- the people implementing and operating security strategies for most organizations -- the training and responsibility they need to take on a more proactive cyber security role. The study, from security training company (ISC)2 also reveals that many IT professionals feel their security guidance is being ignored by business leadership. More than 3,300 IT professionals participated in the survey and the findings show that almost half of IT organizations don't provide adequate resources for IT… [Continue Reading]

  Apple quietly raises iPad Pro prices after iPhone X launch

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 3:05pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The iPhone X surprised some people with its starting price of (just) under a grand -- many were expecting Apple to break the $1,000 barrier even with the base model. It wasn't all good news on the price front, though. As well as hiking the cost of AppleCare+ for some devices, Apple also raised the price of some iPad Pro models. With no announcement, the price of the 256GB and 512GB 10.5 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models have jumped by $50. Apple has not given a reason, but the increased price of memory has been suggested as a possibility. The… [Continue Reading]

  BlueBorne Bluetooth vulnerability 'exposes almost every connected device'

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 1:46pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Armis Lab, the Internet of Things security firm, has revealed details of BlueBorne, a Bluetooth vulnerability that affects millions of iOS and Android smartphones, IoT devices, and Windows and Linux systems. In all, 5.3 billion devices are believed to be at risk. The BlueBorne attack makes it possible for an attacker to spread malware or take control of nearby devices. What's particularly concerning is that for an attack to be successful, there is no need for device pairing, or even for a target device to be in discoverable mode. There's also no need for any sort of interaction by the… [Continue Reading]

  JPMorgan chief dismisses Bitcoin as 'a fraud' currency, ideal for drug dealers and murderers

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 12:55pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Speaking at a banking conference in New York, Jamie Dimon -- chief executive of JPMorgan -- has dismissed the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as a fraud that will blow up. He said that if he found employees at his investment bank using the digital currency, he "would fire them in a second." Dimon likened Bitcoin to tulip bulbs and said: "The currency isn't going to work. You can't have a business where people can invent a currency out of thin air and think that people who are buying it are really smart."

  Bill Gates says Britain can be a world technology leader after Brexit, but CBI demands certainty on data

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 11:48am CEST par Ian Barker

  Before the UK's referendum on leaving the EU last year, Bill Gates warned that a vote to leave could jeopardize the country’s position in the science and technology sector. But in an interview with the Daily Telegraph (paywalled) the Microsoft founder says that Britain can remain a world leader if care is taken. Gates has invested £750 million in UK research institutions including universities in Liverpool, Edinburgh, London, Cambridge, and Oxford, "because they're the best at doing lots of this important work." However, Gates warns that there will be some challenges to overcome to ensure that the UK retains its… [Continue Reading]

  Apple strips the App Store from iTunes 12.7

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 11:40am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The focus of Apple's event yesterday was certainly the new iPhones, but this was far from being all that came out of Cupertino. Apple also released iTunes 12.7 and there's a glaring change -- the App Store is gone. iTunes has long been derided for being bloated, and this latest change seems to be Apple's attempt to get things back under control. Ditching the App Store means that apps can only be downloaded using an iOS device, but as significant as this is, it is not the only notable change in the software.

Apple is increasing the price of AppleCare+ for its Plus model -- including the previous generation iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus -- and is introducing a new, even higher price point for iPhone X insurance.

  Having problems downloading the latest 'frustrating' Windows 10 build? You're not alone

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 10:59am CEST par Wayne Williams

  After a wait of nearly two weeks, Microsoft yesterday rolled out a new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update build to Insiders on the Fast ring. At least, that was the intention. However, the release didn’t go according to plan, and many people found themselves unable to download the new build. Microsoft was quickly on the case and delivered a fix for the issue, except, well, people still can’t download the update.

  Intel will discontinue WiGig laptop docks

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 3:20am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  It looks as if Intel's idea of a wireless docking station for laptops was a bit short-lived. The company recently announced that it will discontinue its WiGig laptop docks and as of September 29 will no longer take orders, and as of December 29 will no longer make shipments. This came as a surprise for many, especially given that laptops are becoming thinner, and easing out as many ports and slots as possible. The WiGig wireless docking station came with five USB ports, a landline, HDMI and DP ports. It had up to 4.7Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth and had cost… [Continue Reading]

  Western Digital releases massive 12TB 7200RPM WD Gold HDD with 256MB cache

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 1:02am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  As many of you know, 2.5-inch notebook mechanical hard drives are largely obsolete. The larger 3.5-inch desktop variants have a lot of life left in them, however, as they offer much more capacity compared to a solid state drive. If you want the most storage from a single SATA drive, a desktop HDD is where it's at -- for now. Today, Western Digital unveils a monstrous desktop HDD as a part of its Enterprise-class "WD Gold" line. This new 12TB SATA model (WD121KRYZ) has a large 256MB cache, 7200RPM disk speed, and an impressive five-year limited warranty. Of course, such a massive capacity comes with… [Continue Reading]

  Europe wants tech giants to pay higher taxes

  Publié: septembre 13, 2017, 12:20am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Tech giants like Google or Amazon might end up paying a lot more tax in Europe, if a new EU initiative goes through. A debate concerning whether tech giants should pay taxes wherever they produce value has been scheduled for September 15. So far, they are only paying taxes where they are physically present. This has led to businesses going into countries with different tax incentives. Google, for example, has its EU headquarters in Ireland, which helped it dodge taxes in France. Now, after a joint letter addressed to the European Union's presidency and Commission, and written by finance ministers of France, Germany,… [Continue Reading]
