  Google reveals why it killed NFC Smart Lock in Android

  Publié: septembre 30, 2017, 4:27pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  It recently came to light that Google had killed off NFC Smart Lock in Android -- without telling anyone. Now the company has come clean about just why the feature was given the chop. Google says that "in the case of NFC unlock, we've seen extremely low usage," adding that there are now many more ways of unlocking Android devices. But while Google points to features such as On-Body detection, fingerprint scanning and Trusted Places, fans of the missing feature say that none of these are comparable.

  Fans of the image editing tool Paint.NET have two big pieces of news to digest. While this is only a minor version number bump, Paint.NET 4.0.18 improves startup times by around 25 percent as well as improving portable mode and introducing per-user plugins. But perhaps the biggest news -- as promised a few months ago -- is that Paint.NET is now in the Microsoft Store. While many people will welcome the arrival of the app in the Store, the fact that a price tag has been slapped on it will come as a surprise -- and a disappointment -- to… [Continue Reading]

  Ransomware is reaching 'epidemic levels'

  Publié: septembre 30, 2017, 3:54am CEST par Michael Moore

  Ransomware has been named as one of the most pressing threats to society by officers at Europol. The force has released a new report which claims that ransomware is reaching "epidemic" levels, eclipsing other areas of cybercrime such as data breaches, pornography and card fraud. Europol's records found that more than two billion records linked to EU citizens had been affected by ransomware during the last twelve months "The last year has been exceptional, given the size and the type and the range of the attacks that we've seen," Europol director Rob Wainwright said revealing the report. "Growing sophistication in the cybercrime community,… [Continue Reading]
