  Microsoft to bring Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection to Windows 7 and 8.1

  Publié: février 12, 2018, 7:11pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Formerly a Windows 10 exclusive, Microsoft today announced that Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is coming to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. That's not to say that the older operating systems are set to gain the full benefit of ATP, however. Microsoft says that it is the Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) functionality that will make its way to Windows 7 and 8.1 at some point this summer. This cloud-driven feature will be made available as a preview in the spring.

  Publié: février 12, 2018, 5:08pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook is no stranger to privacy-related controversy, and now a German court has ruled that the social networks' use of personal data is illegal. The court in Berlin also said that Facebook's default privacy settings violate German consumer law. The case was brought by the federation of German consumer organisations (VZBV) which said Facebook failed to provide its users with sufficient information, and also that people were automatically opted into features.

  Publié: février 12, 2018, 1:00pm CET par Ian Barker

  A new survey of managed security service providers (MSSPs) reveals that they are suffering an avalanche of false positive security alerts. The study from Advanced Threat Analytics reveals that 44 percent of respondents report a 50 percent or higher false-positive rate, half of those experience a 50-75 percent false-positive rate and the remainder a startling 75-99 percent rate. Nearly 45 percent of respondents say they investigate 10 or more alerts each day, that breaks down into 22 percent investigating between 10 and 20 alerts each day, 11 percent investigating 20-40 daily, and 11 percent investigating 50 or more.

  Tests show how much Meltdown fixes will hit Linux system performance

  Publié: février 12, 2018, 12:14pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Now that the initial shock about the Spectre and Meltdown chip vulnerabilities has died down, the focus is very much on getting the problems sorted. As has been noted already, there has been concern about the impact on performance that the bug fixes will bring. Intel has been eager to downplay any suggestion of major slowdown, but the exact performance hit will vary from system to system depending on the tasks being performed. Brendan Gregg -- a Netflix engineer whose work involves large scale cloud computing performance -- has conducted some tests into the impact patches will have on Linux… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 12, 2018, 10:53am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Thousands of government websites around the world have been hijacked to mine the cryptocurrency Monero. A commonly-used accessibility script was hacked to inject the Coinhive miner into official sites in the US, UK and Australia. One security researcher described it as the biggest attack of its type that he'd seen. In the UK, websites for the NHS and Information Commissioner's Office were affected; in the US, the United States Courts' site was hit; in Australia, government sites including that of the Victorian parliament were hit by the cryptojacking code. What all of the sites had in common was the fact… [Continue Reading]
