  Windows 10 compatibility issues forcing US Air Force to scrap a significant number of computers

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 9:08pm CET par Wayne Williams

  The US Department of Defense has decreed that the Air Force must complete its migration to Windows 10 by March 31 2018. Failure to do so will result in any systems not running Microsoft’s latest operating system being denied access to the Air Force Network. However, because Windows 10 is not compatible with many of the Air Force’s existing systems, a significant number of computers will need to be replaced in order to hit the deadline.

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 8:51pm CET par Chris Wiles

  Growth in Android ransomware slows, but it's getting sneakier

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 5:42pm CET par Ian Barker

  While Android ransomware is still growing, it's doing so at a slower rate than at its peak in 2016. However, it is using sneaky new techniques to trick users. New findings from researchers at ESET reveal techniques like the misuse of Android's Accessibility services being used to infect devices. The most popular attack technique though remains screen-locking followed by a ransom demand. The most frequently detected variant being the Android/Locker family. One of the most innovative ransomware families, discovered by ESET researchers in the fall of 2017, is DoubleLocker. Built on the foundations of a previously seen banking trojan, it… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung pauses Oreo update for Galaxy S8 and S8+ due to restart issues

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 4:51pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  It's only a week since Samsung started to roll out Android 8.0 Oreo to the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and now the company has paused the update. A "limited number" of handsets receiving the update have been experiencing reboot problems after installing Oreo. While Samsung investigates the matter, the rollout has been paused and a new version of the update is being worked on.

  2017 breaks record for new vulnerabilities

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 4:48pm CET par Ian Barker

  More than 20,000 new vulnerabilities were cataloged in 2017 according to breach analysis specialist Risk Based Security. The figures from the company's own VulnDB eclipsed the total covered by MITRE's Common Vulnerability Enumeration (CVE) and the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) by more than 7,900. These vulnerabilities published by VulnDB in 2017 that are not found in CVE/NVD, impact products that are widely used in all sizes of organizations. "Incredibly, we see too many companies still relying on CVE and NVD for vulnerability tracking, despite the US government funded organization falling short year after year," says Brian Martin, VP of vulnerability… [Continue Reading]

  Contractors pose cyber risk to government agencies

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 3:28pm CET par Ian Barker

  While US government agencies are continuing to improve their security performance over time, the contractors they employ are failing to meet the same standards according to a new report. The study by security rankings specialist BitSight sampled over 1,200 federal contractors and finds that the security rating for federal agencies was 15 or more points higher than the mean of any contractor sector. It finds more than eight percent of healthcare and wellness contractors have disclosed a data breach since January 2016. Aerospace and defense firms have the next highest breach disclosure rate at 5.6 percent. While government has made a… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech announces MK540 Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 2:59pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Nowadays, much is made of mechanical keyboards. While I swear by them, understandably, not everyone likes that style. Some people prefer a nice soft membrane typing experience. Neither preference is wrong -- it comes down to the individual. For an office setting where many people work in earshot of each other, however, membrane can be preferable as it is typically a quieter experience. Even non-clicky mechanical switch types can be audible. Today, Logitech unveils a new keyboard and mouse combo that should appeal to membrane lovers. Designed for both home and office, the MK540 Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo, as… [Continue Reading]

  If you're concerned about privacy, you might want to skip Facebook's VPN -- Onavo Protect

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 12:38pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook and privacy are not words that really belong in the same sentence, so the idea that the social network is offering a VPN tool might well raise your suspicions. Back in 2013, Facebook acquired Onavo, the company behind the VPN tool Protect. Recently, users of the Facebook iOS app noticed a link to something labelled Protect within settings. While this appears to be a built-in setting, it is in fact just a link to the Onavo Protect VPN app -- and the idea of a Facebook-owned VPN tool being promoted from within the Facebook app has people concerned.

  Bitcoin targeting $10,000 again, major cryptos post solid gains

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 12:31pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The cryptocurrency market seems to have recovered after a massive correction took it below $280 billion earlier this month. That valuation brought the scene back to mid-November levels, with all the majors posting significant losses as a result. However, things have changed rather quickly, as, today, the market is getting closer to breaking $480 billion. Bitcoin looks to be spearheading the push, as it's testing the $10,000 level, having the third-largest daily increase of the top 10 players at 8.9 percent. Litecoin is the best performer, by far, with gains of 19.5 percent, followed by IOTA with 9.1 percent. In… [Continue Reading]

  Why Google is building its own ad blocker

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 12:02pm CET par Ian Barker

  As one of the major players in online advertising it might seem surprising that Google is introducing its own ad filtering feature to Chrome. Partly though this is a fight back against the increasing use of ad blockers that block Google’s own ads and is aimed at the most annoying ad types like pop ups and autoplay videos. Internet marketing company TechWyse has put together an infographic explaining the thinking behind Google’s decision. 200 million people around the world now use ad blockers, and Google earned over$72 billion from advertising in 2017 and with Chrome accounting for 47.5 percent of… [Continue Reading]

  With Intel's updated bug bounty program, you could earn big bucks for finding the next Meltdown

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 10:51am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Intel has updated its bug bounty program, offering up to $250,000 to anyone identifying vulnerabilities in its hardware and software. The key update here is that the program is now open to everyone through the HackerOne platform -- it was previously open to selected security researchers on an invite-only basis. The move comes in the wake of the Meltdown and Spectre chip vulnerability revelations, and it's clearly an attempt by Intel to not only ramp up its security, but to be seen doing so. The company says it wants to create "a process whereby the security research community can inform… [Continue Reading]

  The preparations you need to make ahead of GDPR

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 9:55am CET par Natasha Bougourd

  GDPR is only a few months away, and a lot of the coverage has focused on the impact the regulation will have on the IT and finance departments in businesses. Whilst it’s true that GDPR compliance should be driven largely by finance and IT departments, there’s more to it than that. One area where there’s little clarity is whether businesses are required to hire more staff. The Data Protection Officer (DPO) role is covered in the regulation document, but many argue it’s unclear whether this is necessary for their business; Privacy International comments that the bill is "unnecessarily complex". Some… [Continue Reading]

  Apple says it is totally normal for HomePod to ruin your furniture

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 3:32am CET par Brian Fagioli

  As someone that typically loves Apple products, I was initially interested in HomePod. After all, it is gorgeous and designed for use with Apple Music -- my choice for a streaming music service. Once common sense set in, however, I realized it was not something I wanted. Why? Well, the $350 asking price is just too high compared to competitors. I'd actually be willing to pay a premium for a quality product, but Siri just cant compare to Alexa at this time. And so, I passed on HomePod. And thank God that I did. You see, there have been reports… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Windows 10 Redstone 4 Build 17101 for the Fast ring and Redstone 5 Build 17604 for Skip Ahead

  Publié: février 15, 2018, 1:20am CET par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 Insider Preview builds have been arriving much less frequently with the Redstone 4 branch than with Redstone 3 (Fall Creators Update), but as we get nearer to the official release of the next feature update that is likely to change. Today, Microsoft rolls out two new builds, just a week after the last one. These are Build 17101 for Insiders on the Fast ring, and Build 17604 for those who have opted to Skip Ahead -- that is elected to bypass builds for RS4 and move straight to RS5.
