  Microsoft confirms Outlook.com is down for some people

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 9:16pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you are having trouble accessing Outlook.com at the moment, you're not alone. Many people -- particularly in Europe -- are experiencing problems with Microsoft's email service. Microsoft has confirmed that there is an issue with "load-balancing infrastructure," and investigations are underway to discover the source of the problem. Users affected by the problem say that the messages they try to send remain in the Draft folder rather than reaching the intended recipient. The problem-detecting site downdetector shows that there are large number of people experiencing problems with either accessing the Outlook website or logging in. In the comments people… [Continue Reading]

  Linux Mint 18.3 Ubuntu-based operating system is named 'Sylvia'

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 7:24pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Ubuntu 17.10 is almost here, and many Linux users are excited. Canonical's operating system is already excellent, but it will soon be even better thanks to a new default desktop environment -- GNOME. What this means for the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint's usage remains to be seen. You see, many people choose Mint because they do not like the Unity DE. Now that Ubuntu has ditched Unity, the reasons to opt for a distro based on Ubuntu rather than using "The Real McCoy" are dwindling. But OK, if you are still a diehard Linux Mint user for some reason, I have some interesting… [Continue Reading]

  Mobile network flaws could open Bitcoin wallets to hackers

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 5:31pm CEST par Ian Barker

  An architecture flaw in mobile networks could allow hackers to intercept SMS one-time passwords and access Bitcoin wallets. The vulnerability uncovered by enterprise security specialist Positive Technologies means that with just a person's first name, last name, and phone number, researchers were able learn the email address linked to the wallet, obtain control over it, and gain access to the wallet itself including withdrawing funds. The attack is made possible due to a flaw in the Signaling System No 7 (SS7) protocol used by most of the world's telephone networks. SS7 was developed in 1975 and has made the news… [Continue Reading]

  Cryptocurrency market recovers: Bitcoin back over $4,000, Ethereum rebounds to $290

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 4:42pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The cryptocurrency market is recovering well after shedding over $75 billion last week in what was a major post-rally correction. News that China banned ICOs and a rumored ban on Bitcoin exchanges in the country have not brought the market to its knees, as its capitalization is now up by around $40 billion since the low reached only a few days ago. Many "experts" have linked the correction to the bad news from China, claiming that it will be very hard for the major coins to recover. Ethereum was expected to be hit the most, as the ICO ban means its appeal in… [Continue Reading]

  Apple Watch Series 3 does not support roaming

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 2:52pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When the Apple Watch Series 3 was revealed last week, there was much excitement about the fact that -- at long last -- it would be possible to make calls without the need to have an iPhone nearby. Built-in cellular connectivity is something Apple Watch users have been begging for, and the Series 3 model delivers LTE goodness. But all is not quite as rosy as it might first seem. Yes, it's possible to use your new Apple Watch to make phone calls, but it's not going to be of any use to you if you go abroad. The smartwatch… [Continue Reading]

  Majority of enterprise cloud services still not ready for GDPR

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 2:48pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With the EU's General Data Protection Regulation set to come into force in May next year, companies are rushing to ensure that their systems will comply with its rules. Yet a new report from cloud security company Netskope finds that almost three-quarters of cloud services still lack key capabilities needed to ensure compliance with the GDPR regulations. The study finds that the average enterprise has deployed 1,022 cloud services, down slightly from last quarter's average of 1,053. Of those cloud services in use, only 24.6 percent received a GDPR-readiness rating of 'high', based on attributes like the location where data… [Continue Reading]

  How to disable the Bixby button on your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 12:54pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you have a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ you may well have a strong opinion about the dedicated Bixby button. For some people, one-click access to Samsung's digital assistant, Bixby, is a real boon -- for others it's just a pain in the butt. The positioning of the button is such that it is incredibly easy to hit it by mistake, such as when you try to press the volume down button. With a new update Samsung is finally making it possible to disable the button. You should find that the software updates automatically to give you access… [Continue Reading]

  First half of 2017 sees more mobile vulnerabilities than for the whole of 2016

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 12:27pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new report into mobile threats reveals that in the first half of 2017, there were more common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) registered for Android and iOS than in all of 2016. The study by mobile threat defense company Zimperium, based on data from its z3a app analysis tool, also shows that many devices aren't running the latest operating systems, leaving them vulnerable. It finds that 94 percent of Android devices are not running the latest software version available, compared to 23 percent of iOS devices. The most concerning risks associated with iOS devices were malicious configuration profiles and 'leaky… [Continue Reading]

  Security warning: Hackers compromised CCleaner and installed a backdoor

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 11:52am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Users of cleanup, privacy and optimization tool CCleaner are being warned to update their software after it emerged the tool was compromised by hackers. Security researchers at Cisco Talos say that there are a "vast number of machines at risk." CCleaner is produced by Piriform, now a subsidiary of security firm Avast, making the compromise not only serious, but also embarrassing. With 2 billion downloads -- a number that's rising at a rate of 5 million per week -- the software was targeted by hackers who added a backdoor that could be used to download malware, ransomware and keyloggers. The… [Continue Reading]

  Two strategies in leveraging a decentralized workforce

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 11:47am CEST par Peter Davidson

  It’s no secret that the world has quickly moved toward distributed everything. From workplaces to transportation services to financial transactions, there are efficiency gains when the workload is no longer centralized. Take for example co-working spaces, which have reduced the burden of administrative overhead for organizations. Or, take for instance ride sharing services, which have reduced the cost of car ownership and maintenance. How about blockchains and cryptocurrencies, which are decentralizing consensus and authentication? Even computational resources have moved away from the centralized approach. According to a survey by Rightscale in January 2017, 85 percent of businesses have multi-cloud strategies… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft enters the fight against fake news as Bing gains Fact Check label

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 10:43am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The "fake news" moniker may be a relatively recent one, but the phenomenon is not exactly new. Search engines and social media sites have long fought a battle against rogue news sources, and Microsoft's latest attack sees the company adding fact-checking to Bing. The addition of Fact Check labels means that anyone looking at search results should be able to tell at a glance if a particular news story has been debunked. The label can be applied to sites as a whole as well as individual articles, making it easier for Microsoft to alert people about poor news sources --… [Continue Reading]

  New Google test drops app ratings in favor of download sizes in the Play Store

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 7:57am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Some Android users have spotted a change in the Play Store. Since time immemorial, Google has shown star ratings in app listings and search results -- because that’s one of the ways in which users decide what to download. But for some people this has changed. Rather than a star rating, apps are now listed with their download sizes. For the Android user who is worried about running out of space this is arguably a useful change, but it's not something that most people will regard as a step in the right direction.

  Google launches Tez in India, a new digital payment app for iOS and Android

  Publié: septembre 18, 2017, 7:24am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  As had been widely expected, Google has unveiled its new mobile payment service for India. Called Tez, the service is Google's first step into digital payments in Asia. Tez makes it possible for users to link their bank accounts to the app and then use their phones to make in-person payments and transfers. Support for the government-backed UPI (Unified Payments Interface) means the service is compatible with a number of major banks. At the moment, Tez is limited to India, but there appear to be plans to spread it further. See also: Google will launch a mobile payment service in… [Continue Reading]
