  Windows Firewall Control 5 released, extends protection offered by built-in firewall

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 6:48pm CEST par Nick Peers

  Why does anyone need a third-party firewall when Windows offers one of its own? One huge plus for switching firewalls is to provide yourself with two-way protection: the Windows Firewall only monitors inbound traffic from the internet, not traffic that originates on your PC. The annoying thing is, the Windows Firewall can offer two-way protection, but it’s fiddly to configure and not enabled by default. Enter stage left, the recently updated Windows Firewall Control 5.01. Windows Firewall Control allows you to extend the capabilities of the built-in Windows Firewall to give you extra protection without having to clog up your… [Continue Reading]

  Sphero SPRK+: A fun, programmable robot for all ages [Review]

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 3:51pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  If you want to teach children how to code, then buying them a product like the Raspberry Pi makes a lot of sense. It’s versatile, and cheap enough that if they break it, buying a replacement shouldn’t be too big a deal. Not every child is going to want to learn how to program a Pi though -- the appeal of it won’t necessary be apparent to a kid who just wants to play. This is where SPRK+ comes in. The Sphero robot can be driven using an app, and then -- when the appeal of that wears off --… [Continue Reading]

  IT departments and users are out of step on password security

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 12:49pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey reveals that 76 percent of employees say they experience regular password usage problems and more than a third need password-related help desk support at least once every month. According to the study from password manager LastPass and business intelligence company Ovum nearly three-quarters say they would want to use a tool to help store and access passwords without needing to remember each one if their company offered such a solution. Other findings show that 61 percent of IT executives rely exclusively on employee education to enforce strong passwords. Employees are therefore left on their own, with no… [Continue Reading]

  Report: Russian hackers stole NSA files after identifying them using Kaspersky software

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 12:24pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A report by the Wall Street Journal suggests that Russian hackers used Kaspersky software to identify sensitive NSA files -- which they then stole. The security breach dates back to 2015, and it was made possible when a National Security Agency contractor copied sensitive files to his own computer. Hackers were then able to identify these files because of the contractor's use of Kaspersky software.

  Apple unveils new emoji coming in iOS 11.1

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 11:51am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Following a somewhat problematic initial release of iOS, Apple pushed out iOS 11.0.2 to fix a number of issues. But people are already looking forward to the next incremental, non-bug-fixing release. This is iOS 11.1, and Apple has revealed a little of what we can expect. iPad and iPhone users are to be treated to a new batch of emoji -- hundreds of new ones in total -- encompassing "more emotive smiley faces, gender-neutral characters, clothing options, food types, animals, mythical creatures and more."

  Apple makes macOS High Sierra 10.13 safe again with emergency 'Supplemental Update'

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 4:48am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Since macOS is a Unix-based operating system, it is often seen as being stable and secure. For the most part, the OS is. With that said, it is not perfect, and certainly not infallible. Quite frankly, no operating system is impervious to security issues. Unfortunately for Apple, its latest and greatest desktop operating system, macOS High Sierra 10.13, has some very serious flaws. First, it was discovered that the supposedly secure keychain password system could be easily infiltrated by malware. Arguably worse, it was then discovered that encrypted APFS disks had their passwords erroneously saved in plain text in the "hint" field. Yeah, that is… [Continue Reading]

  Many UK SMBs don't invest in security solutions

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 2:58am CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  A third of UK small businesses are risking their online safety by operating at or below the "security poverty line," according to new research from Duo Security. The cybersecurity company partnered with YouGov to survey 1,0009 senior decision makers across the UK to determine how much they are spending on cybersecurity and whether government initiatives such as Cyber Essentials and Cyber Risk Aware have been effective at protecting SMBs from cyber threats. The survey found that 38 percent of small businesses had spent nothing at all to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats this year and 30 percent of respondents said that less than… [Continue Reading]

  Belkin launches USB-C 3.1 Express Dock HD, but you probably don't want it

  Publié: octobre 6, 2017, 1:24am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There are a lot of USB-C docks and accessories on the market today. While the port can be found on Windows and Linux machines, you can thank Apple for the overall popularity. When the company went all-in with USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro, accessory makers really took interest. Today, Belkin releases a new dock that uses the newest USB connector. Called "USB-C 3.1 Express Dock HD," it features 8 ports. Best of all, it can charge your laptop while it is connected. While it does offer 4K video, it is unfortunately capped at 30Hz, making it a non-starter for many. "This new… [Continue Reading]
