  Facebook taps into teen market with acquisition of anonymous feedback app tbh

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 10:41pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook's desperation to appeal to the teenage market is well known, and its latest attempt to tap into it sees the social network acquiring tbh. The anonymous feedback app has proved to be a huge hit on iOS since its launch in August. An Android version is still in the pipeline. With tbh, despite the anonymity, there's a strong focus on positive polls -- questions like "who has the best smile?" crop up, for instance -- and over a billion pieces of feedback have been given in a matter of weeks. It's not clear whether Facebook will keep the service… [Continue Reading]

  AWS and Microsoft announce deep learning library Gluon

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 9:13pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Microsoft and Amazon Web Services have joined forces to make machine learning accessible to a greater number of developers. With that in mind, the duo has launched an open-source deep learning library called Gluon. The library will work as an interface where developers will be able to create prototypes, build, train and deploy ML models for either cloud or mobile apps. In the joint press release, the two companies have said that Gluon is more concise and easier to understand, compared to competing programs. It also said prototyping will be faster, and developers will be able to test neural network models without… [Continue Reading]

  Google and IBM launch open-source security tool for containers

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 7:56pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Google and IBM, together with a few other partners, released an open-source project that gathers metadata that developers can use to secure their software. According to an IBM blog post, the goal of the project is to help developers keep security standards, while microservices and containers cut the software supply chain. Grafeas was built as a container security API. IBM, on the other hand, will add its own container scanning tool, Vulnerability Advisor, into Grafeas. IBM said it will be a "central source of truth," when it comes to enforcing security policies. The API will collect the metadata defining a user’s software… [Continue Reading]

  Google rolls out Chrome Cleanup to help secure its web browser

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 7:05pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  With so much time now spent online, and with so many cloud-based tools now in use every day, we're all spending more time than ever in our web browsers. To ensure that this is as secure an experience as possible, Google is rolling out a trio of important changes to Chrome -- for Windows users, at least. At the heart of these changes is Chrome Cleanup. This feature detects unwanted software that might be bundled with downloads, and provides help with removing it -- but Mac and Linux users miss out. Google's Philippe Rivard explains that Chrome now has built-in… [Continue Reading]

  Russia set to take on Bitcoin with its own 'CryptoRuble'

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 5:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Having earlier called for crypto currencies to be banned, Russian President Vladimir Putin has now officially stated that Russia will issue its own CryptoRuble using Blockchain technology. According to communications minister Nikolay Nikiforov, CryptoRubles will be exchangeable for conventional Rubles and will be accepted by Russian banks. However, holders will need to pay 13 percent tax if they don't provide proof of origin, a measure intended to combat money laundering. The idea behind the introduction seems to be to boost the country's online economy in a way that doesn't need dependence on foreign money markets or third party transaction brokers.… [Continue Reading]

  PureVPN scrambles to defend itself against accusations of logging users

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 3:59pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Last week it transpired that PureVPN had helped the FBI track down a cyberstalker from Massachusetts. This came as something of a surprise to other PureVPN users who were under the impression that using the service made them completely anonymous -- a belief strengthened by the company's assertion "We do NOT keep any logs that can identify or help in monitoring a user's activity." Strictly speaking, this is true, but that's not to say that the company doesn’t maintain IP logs that can be used to identify users. The company does exactly this, logging IP addresses and timestamps, and this… [Continue Reading]

  Almost half of UK infrastructure will have moved to the cloud in six months

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 12:47pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey of UK IT decision makers by cloud and network provider Interoute shows the cloud is increasingly seen as the best platform for providing scalable infrastructure. The results reveal that businesses plan to move on average just under half (46 percent) of their infrastructure to the cloud over the next six months. Businesses are looking for ways to remain competitive whilst managing costs and ensuring stability, but integrating digital and legacy technologies remains a priority too. Nearly four in 10 (38 percent) citied this as a key consideration. Over half (56 percent) of businesses named their ability to… [Continue Reading]

  Android: DoubleLocker ransomware encrypts data and changes PINs

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 12:46pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A new breed of Android ransomware has been discovered that hits victims with a double whammy. DoubleLocker not only encrypts data as all ransomware does, it also changes the PIN on the target device. DoubleLocker was discovered by security researchers at ESET. They say that the ransomware abuses Android accessibility settings, and is the first to use a double-lock approach. Based on previously released banking malware, it is though that a test version of DoubleLocker could have been in the wild since as early as May. Despite the banking roots, the ransomware is focused purely on extracting money from victims… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft showcases the Fluent Design changes found in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and beyond

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 12:40pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  When you update your copy of Windows 10 to the Fall Creators Update (from tomorrow), one of the changes you may notice is the introduction of a new, but quite subtle, look to the OS. Microsoft's Fluent Design language is essentially like Aero, with cool transparency and blur effects added throughout. SEE ALSO: How to delay the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Although the changes are to be found across the Fall Creators Update, more will be introduced in future feature updates, across both apps and services.

  How to delay the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 11:52am CEST par Wayne Williams

  The latest feature update for Windows 10 is about to start rolling out, although it may be months before it comes to your device (a quarter of users are still waiting for the Creators Update). While you might be keen to update your installation, the truth is it’s often best to wait. Big updates like this usually introduce bugs and problems alongside new features, and unless you’re desperate to screw up your copy of Windows 10, I’d recommend holding off for a while. Even Microsoft warned users not to install the Creators Update when that first came out. If you’re… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 16, 2017, 11:36am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A severe security warning has been issued after Belgium researchers managed to exploit a serious vulnerability in the WPA2 wireless protocol. Known as KRACK (Key Reinstallation Attacks), the vulnerability makes it possible to eavesdrop on Wi-Fi traffic. Millions and millions of devices are at risk -- Windows, Linux, Android and more -- but it is not known whether there is an active exploit in the wild yet. Details about the vulnerability were due to be released at 8:00AM ET (1:00PM BST), but the research paper has now been published early after someone leaked a draft version.
