  Google Chrome will stop trusting older Symantec certificates

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 10:39pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Chrome will stop trusting any security certificates issued by Symantec, Google has confirmed. In a blog post, Chrome Security's Devon O’Brien, Ryan Sleevi and Andrew Whalley say that certificates from the security firm will be "distrusted," starting with version Chrome 66. This affects all certificates issued before June 1, 2016. At the same time, Symantec is working with webmasters to switch to Digi Cert certificates, after the company bought the firm's failing web security business. Chrome 66 is expected to arrive in June next year, so the final shutdown should expected with Chrome 70 next October. This will, as Google puts it,… [Continue Reading]

  'Your Windows Has Been Banned' malware makes an unwelcome return

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 8:38pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  "Your Windows Has Been Banned" is a nasty of piece of malware that first surfaced in 2016. It locks your computer screen and displays a message stating "This PC has been banned for terms of use violations." It doesn’t go into specifics for the ban -- because, obviously, it’s not a real ban -- but simply says that your PC has been locked in order to "protect the Windows service and its members," adding "Microsoft does not provide details about specific PC bans." In order to unlock the system, the malware originally stated the victim should call technicians purporting to… [Continue Reading]

  VMware clarifies its relationship with Dell

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 8:15pm CEST par Michael Moore

  VMware has emphasised its strength and independence almost a year since its parent company was acquired. Speaking at the VMworld Europe 2017 event in Barcelona, VMware COO Sanjay Poonen noted that the relationship between the firm and parent company Dell EMC was benefitting both parties equally. "We will take advantage of the Dell ecosystem where we can, but we won't be tethered to it," he told attendees at the event. VMware parent company EMC was acquired by Dell last year, with some commentators worried about what the merger would mean for the software firm, which now falls under the Dell Technologies arm. However,… [Continue Reading]

  Apple iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus coming to Xfinity Mobile

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 7:00pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  In the United States, there are four major cell carriers -- Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. They are not the only game in town, however, as there are regional carriers too. Not to mention, there are many MVNO offerings that piggyback off of the towers belonging to the aforementioned "big four." One interesting new player in the MVNO space is Comcast with its affordable and unlimited "Xfinity Mobile" offering. Limited to subscribers of Xfinity home service, it uses a combination of Verizon's excellent LTE network plus Xfinity's 18 million hotspots to maximize coverage. Today, Comcast announces that the the budget-friendly service… [Continue Reading]

  Trump blocks Chinese purchase of chip-maker Lattice over national security concerns

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 6:51pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  President Trump has blocked a Chinese investment firm from buying US company Lattice Semiconductor. The acquisition was stopped because of national security concerns. Following a recommendation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the Trump administration said that the potential buyer, Canyon Bridge, "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States." A Portland, Oregon company, Lattice manufacturers a range of products including wireless radio chips and programmable gate arrays. An order signed by Donald Trump blocked the purchase, despite protestation from Lattice that there was no cause for concern. In… [Continue Reading]

  Oracle plans massive job cuts in Europe

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 6:51pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Oracle is reportedly planning major job cuts across Europe as it readies for a company-wide reorganization. According to The Register, Oracle is looking to shift its hardware support division into Romania. Confirmed by 'multiple insiders' the report states the process has already begun, although the deadline for migration differs from country to country. There seems to be a total of 424 Oracle employees in Europe that work on hardware support. With 137 already in Romania, that leaves us with 287 people outside the country that might lose their jobs. The majority (77) are based in Germany, with Spain (67), France (55),… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy: Senator Al Franken has a lot of concerns about Face ID on the Apple iPhone X

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 6:00pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  From the moment Apple started to talk about Face ID, there were concerns voiced about privacy and security. It's not just security experts and potential users who have these worries; Senator Al Franken has written to Tim Cook asking for details about the safeguards Apple has put in place to protect users. On top of this, Franken wants to know more about how Apple trained the Face ID algorithm, and seeks assurances that third parties will not be able to access or be granted access to Face ID data. In a letter dated September 13, Senator Franken says: "As I… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 5:21pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Businesses are more keen than ever to unlock the power of their data, but often struggle to come up with a strategic approach. Cloud data management company Informatica is launching its latest Intelligent Data Platform driven by the CLAIRE engine which uses metadata-driven AI to deliver faster insights. "Successful digital transformations are data-driven and require a strategic approach to data management that catalogs and governs all data that matters, secures data that needs protection, ensures the quality of trusted data, scales for big data workloads and real-time processing across hybrid architectures, and brings it together for an actionable 360-degree view… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin drops to $3,500 after China ban rumors

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 5:08pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The cryptocurrency market is now in a massive correction which has wiped out over $50 billion from its market cap high reached at the beginning of the month. The downward pressure seems to center on rumors that China wants to ban Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency. I say rumors because there seems to be no official information from China that a ban is, indeed, in the cards. That has not stopped various websites from giving them too much credence, which adds to the instability that we have seen recently. When reporting rumors related to the cryptocurrency market it is extremely important… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook launches Crisis Response, a portal to find out about crises around the world

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 4:38pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook has today launched Crisis Response, a central hub that provides access to its various crisis response tools such as Safety Check. Over the years, the social network has gradually added more and more tools that serve to help those caught up in a disaster, and those who know them, and the new center pulls all of these into one place. As well as serving as a central hub, Crisis Response on Facebook is also being bolstered by links to articles and videos posted on the site so users can be kept better informed about a given crisis.

  Criminals hijack browsers to mine cryptocurrency

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 4:33pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Cyber criminals supplementing their income by mining cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is nothing new. Usually this has been done by installing malware or PUPs on the machines of unsuspecting users. But now researchers at ESET have discovered a new method of mining cryptocurrencies, which can be done directly within your web browser, using JavaScript. This gives attackers the potential to reach a greater number of victims, by infecting websites, rather than by targeting individual machines. Knowing that the default settings of most browsers include activated JavaScript, attackers simply need to insert the mining script in websites that receive large amounts of… [Continue Reading]

  Mobile apps still the 'Wild West' of online security

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 12:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Most app stores are still failing to adequately protect their users from malicious and fraudulent app downloads. This is one of the findings of a new report by threat management company RiskIQ which analyzed 120 mobile app stores and more than 2 billion daily scanned resources. The major marketplaces are still a source of blacklisted apps, with Google Play jumping to the #2 source for blacklisted apps in the second quarter of this year. But it's a secondary store, AndroidAPKDescargar, that holds the #1 spot for the second-straight quarter. A bright spot though is that blacklisted app downloads fell by… [Continue Reading]

  HP blocks third-party ink with printer firmware update... again

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 11:36am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  HP is pushing out a firmware update to its range of Officejet printers that blocks the use of the third-party ink cartridges. This is not the first time the company has issued such an update as it tries to force printer owners to buy its own, more expensive cartridges. A year ago, HP faced strong criticism from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for implementing DRM that forced users to buy official ink. At the time HP saw the error of its ways and backtracked on the third-party ink ban, but now the company is having another crack of the whip. HP's… [Continue Reading]

  Google ad hints at Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 event on October 4

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 11:04am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google is expected to take the wraps off the Pixel 2 next month along with -- probably -- the Pixel 2 XL. Last year's Pixel event took place on October 4, and the appearance of a billboard in Boston suggests that the same date will be used this year. The Google billboard says simply: "Ask more of your phone" and then the date, Oct. 4. The sighting of the billboard comes just as the LG-manufactured Pixel 2 XL passes through FCC. It is a few weeks since an FCC filing for the HTC-manufactured Pixel 2 was spotted, and the last… [Continue Reading]

  ADATA SE730H USB-C External SSD [Review]

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 6:35am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There are two very important technologies changing the computer landscape nowadays -- solid state drives and USB-C. SSDs are flash-based storage devices, meaning they are faster than traditional hard disk drives, while having no moving parts either. USB-C is just a connection type, but its reversible nature makes it an absolute dream for users -- Type-A connectors were a hassle as you had a 50-percent chance of inserting it incorrectly. When these two things come together, you get a fast portable drive that can easily connect to the newest computers, such as the Apple MacBook Pro. I have been testing a… [Continue Reading]

  IBM and Vodafone team up to help businesses move VMware workloads to the cloud

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 2:41am CEST par Michael Moore

  Businesses looking for a quicker and easier way to move VMware workloads to the cloud will soon be able to benefit from a new deal between IBM and Vodafone. At the VMworld Europe event in Barcelona today, the two companies revealed  the launch of a service that they claim will help tackle one of the biggest issues affecting IT departments that use VMware services. Moving existing VMware workloads from on-premise environments to the cloud can often incur major costs and open up enterprises to security risks due to the need to redesign applications and security policies. However today's agreement will establish a… [Continue Reading]

  GNOME 3.26 'Manchester' desktop environment is here, Linux fans!

  Publié: septembre 14, 2017, 2:30am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When people think of Linux-based operating systems, they often imagine people typing in a terminal or coding in a basement while drinking Mountain Dew -- yeah, those stupid old stereotypes still exists, sadly. While that is surely part of the user base, other users choose an open source operating system for nothing more than using their computer as a tool. In other words, some folks use Ubuntu, Fedora, or other distros just to get normal stuff done -- word processing, web surfing, and more. No terminal. No coding. No religious-like experiences. For these Linux users, and others, the desktop environment sort of is… [Continue Reading]
