  Publié: octobre 18, 2017, 8:13pm CEST par Dennis Walsh

  For years, there’s been talk of robots infiltrating the workforce and eliminating human jobs. Now, it’s finally happening, but not in the way that most people envisioned. Amazon has led the charge by using 45,000 robots at its shipping and distribution facilities, but soon consumers may also see more robots cruising the aisles of well-known brands like Lowe’s and Target. While the idea of robotics may sound overwhelming to both brand and employee, the age of robotics is robust with one thing for the enterprise CIO: opportunity. For many companies, digital transformation is at the heart of every strategy, and… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 18, 2017, 6:13pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Twitter has made endless promises about clamping down on abuse, constantly tweaking existing rules and introducing new ones in an attempt to protect users. Following last week's #WomenBoycottTwitter protest, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey promised to start taking a more aggressive approach. A leaked internal email gives details of just what this new stance will involve. The definition of "nonconsensual nudity" is to be expanded to include upskirt photos and so-called "creep shots," and symbols of hate -- a term that Twitter does not actually define -- will be hidden behind a "sensitive image" warning.

  Microsoft denies that BoundHook vulnerability is actually a vulnerability

  Publié: octobre 18, 2017, 4:55pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Security researchers at CyberArk are reporting about a new technique that could be used to take control of Windows 10 devices. Known as BoundHook, the technique takes advantage of the BOUND hooking technique in Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions). But while CyberArk says that it will "bring new capabilities to both software security vendors and malware writers," Microsoft is downplaying the issue, suggesting there is nothing to worry about. CyberArk acknowledges that the "technique can be used in a post-exploitation scenario in which the attacker has control over the asset." That said, it's not something that should necessarily be ignored.… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook is testing a temporary profile status feature

  Publié: octobre 18, 2017, 4:38pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook has confirmed that it is currently testing a feature that enables its users to setup a self-destructing status. It's something that's in a similar vein to the temporary profile image option that's already available. There's something of a nostalgic feel to the feature as it harks back to the earlier days of Facebook when users were invited to share their status rather than being asked "what's on your mind?"

  Publié: octobre 18, 2017, 2:01am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  IBM has looked to take the pain out of transferring currency across territories with the creation of a new cross-border blockchain payment solution. Built in partnership with KlickEx Group and Stellar.org, the solution should improve efficiency and reduce the cost of global payments for both consumers and businesses. The solution is based on IBM’s blockchain technology, allowing clearing and trade settlements on a single network and in real-time. International payments, however, have long been a problem, as they’re expensive, fallible and time-consuming.
