  Moving IT operations to the cloud is good for the bottom line

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 11:23pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  UK’s businesses are earning less because they lack cloud skills, a new report by Rackspace and the London School of Economics claims. The report also says that the lack of these skills is also hindering creativity. The report, called The Cost of Cloud Expertise, is based on a poll of 950 IT professionals. Two thirds (64 percent) said they’re losing out on revenue due to the lack of required cloud expertise. The same amount said they need to invest more in the workforce. Even more, 67 percent, said their organizations could bring more innovation if they knew how to use cloud to… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 10:22pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Every month, almost 1.5 million new phishing websites are created. This is according to a new report by Webroot, showing just how big of an industry phishing really is. The Webroot Quarterly Threat Trends Report says that 1.385 million new phishing sites are created every month. May was the busiest of them all, with 2.3 million sites created. The report also says these sites are getting more sophisticated and harder to detect, while the goal always remains the same -- to trick the unsuspecting visitor into giving away personal information. The interesting thing about these sites is that they stay up very short --… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 5:42pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Apple's Safari has more security vulnerabilities than Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer combined, according to a new report from Google's Project Zero. Using an automated testing tool called Domato, Project Zero's Ivan Fratric analyzed the most popular desktop browsers and discovered two security vulnerabilities in Chrome, four in Firefox and Internet Explorer, six in Edge and 17 in Safari. The bugs were discovered by subjecting the browsers to about 100,000,000 iterations using Domato. Fratric notes that it "requires fuzzing at scale, but it is still well within the pay range of a determined attacker." The cost… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 5:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Hacking outranks other threats including climate change, nuclear power, hazardous waste, and government surveillance in Americans' perceptions according to a new survey. The study by cyber security company ESET asked randomly selected adults to rate their risk perception of 15 different hazards. Six of the hazards were cyber-related while the rest were other forms of technology hazard. The results show that criminal hacking is rated the top risk, just ahead of air pollution. Another cyber-related risk, the theft or exposure of private data, is rated fourth, after hazardous waste disposal. Government data monitoring ranks only eighth. "To be honest, I… [Continue Reading]

Xiaomi has not made an announcement, but the fact that it is now listed on WPC's website as one of its members is enough to make it official.

  Create professional-quality PDFs using PDFCreator 3

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 2:25pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  You may ask yourself why on earth would you need a specific tool to create a PDF from an application when Windows 10 has the ability to quickly print as a PDF? A few years ago, PDF tools were all the rage. You had to spend big bucks for Adobe’s Acrobat and Nitro to generate a document. And business users paid the price, too. For a good reason. You need a commercial-level tool to create documents suitable for a professional environment and, in particular, for printed material. If want to print leaflets, your commercial printer will request a PDF and… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook overhauls rules governing political ads

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 12:30pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  As well as handing over Russian ads to Congress to allow for investigation into election interference, Facebook is also overhauling its rules for political ads. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, claims that: "We do not know how to place an advert on Facebook. We have never done this, and the Russian side has never been involved in it" -- but there is still a firm belief that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the election. In a bid to prevent this from happening in the future, Facebook has announced a series of updates to its policies governing… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook to share Russian election-era ads with Congress -- but won't make them public

  Publié: septembre 22, 2017, 11:37am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook is to provide Congress with 3,000 advertisements taken out by Russians in the run-up to the 2016 US election. The social media giant says that it is "actively working" with the government in its investigation into Russian interference into the election. Earlier in the month it was revealed that a group operating out of Russia had taken out $100,000 worth of advertising with a "focus on amplifying divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum." But while Facebook is willing to share the ads with Congress, they are not going to be made public. See also: Facebook says… [Continue Reading]
