  Microsoft releases Windows 10 Redstone 5 Build 17618 for Skip Ahead -- and it includes Sets!

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 8:35pm CET par Wayne Williams

  While Microsoft is busy putting the finishing touches to the Windows 10 Spring Update, codenamed Redstone 4, work is well underway on its successor, due around October time. Windows Insiders who opted to "skip ahead" can try out early Redstone 5 builds, and today Microsoft releases Build 17618 on that branch. Usually at this stage in development there’s nothing much to get excited about, but that’s not the case here.

  Please, smartphone makers, don't copy the iPhone X

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 8:31pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The iPhone X is the best iPhone that you can get right now, but it's most certainly not the best looking. You can probably tell where I'm going with this: the notch. It may set it apart from other smartphones, but it's a pain to look at on a $1,000 device. Apple probably had its reasons when it decided to go with that design and, I believe, this will be improved upon in future iterations. Trouble is, other manufacturers think it's something worth copying, not avoiding like the plague. The New ZenFone 5 comes with a notch and it is… [Continue Reading]

  Warning: Hackers can use Cortana to access a locked Windows 10 PC

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 6:54pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Locking your PC is fundamental to preventing others from accessing it when you leave it unattended. But now security researchers have shown that it is possible to use none other than Windows 10's Cortana to bypass a password-protected lock screen. A pair of Israeli researchers found that it is possible to use voice commands to access a locked computer and install malware.

  Facebook Onavo VPN app gathers user data even when it is disabled

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 5:10pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  It is a number of years since Facebook acquired mobile data compression firm Onavo, but in recent weeks concern mounted about how the social network's Onavo VPN tool collects user data. The collection of user data while an app or service is being used is one thing, but a security researcher noticed that Onavo seemed to gather certain snippets of user data even when switched off.

  Businesses under pressure to 'consumerize' logins

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 5:01pm CET par Ian Barker

  Almost two-thirds (64 percent) of IT leaders say their security teams are considering implementing consumer-grade access to cloud services for employees. According to the 2018 Identity and Access Management Index from digital security company Gemalto 54 percent of respondents believe that the authentication methods they implement in their businesses are not as good compared to those found on popular sites including Amazon and Facebook. Authentication methods applied in the consumer world can be applied to secure access to enterprise resources 70 percent of IT professionals believe. But despite this, 92 percent of IT leaders express concern about employees reusing personal… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook adds video chats to Messenger Lite

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 4:40pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  After initially launching in countries with slower internet connections, Facebook Messenger Lite ultimately spread to other parts of the world. The cut-down version of the app gave access to a subset of its big brother's features, and now Facebook has added support for video chat. The app has proved popular even in countries with easy access to decent internet and mobile connections, as users eschew super-sized apps in favor of more diminutive versions. The addition of this important and popular feature is only going to increase its appeal. See also: Facebook Messenger Lite now available in US, Canada, UK and… [Continue Reading]

  Enterprises turn to multi-cloud environments despite extra complexity

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 4:35pm CET par Ian Barker

  Businesses have been adopting the cloud for many reasons, the results of a new study show that large enterprises are increasingly turning to multiple different clouds despite the complexity this creates. The report from hybrid cloud management company Scalr shows several reasons for this approach. Half of enterprises rank disaster recovery as the top reason for implementing multiple clouds, with having a secondary platform for test/dev coming in as a close second at 46 percent. More than one-third (36 percent) cite federation of IT, such as extending self-service to teams without sacrificing policy-based controls, as a main driver. To address… [Continue Reading]

  On the dark web your identity could cost less than the price of an iPhone X

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 3:10pm CET par Ian Barker

  What's your identity worth? Not very much according to research by VPN comparison service Top10VPN.com. The site has released its first Dark Web Market Price Index which reveals that an entire personal identity can be bought for just $1,200. A range of details including bank account logins, passport details and even access to your Netflix account are worth money to bidders on dark web markets -- but the low price point of this information sparks concerns that valuable personal details are all too readily available online. In terms of individual accounts, Paypal logins are among the most valuable, changing hands… [Continue Reading]

  McAfee delivers added security for Microsoft Azure

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 1:14pm CET par Ian Barker

  Azure is a popular cloud platform for business, but firms need to ensure their applications, underlying cloud infrastructure and data are protected. McAfee is addressing this by extending its Cloud Security Platform to consistently protect Azure, delivering an extensive solution to secure Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This is the first joint solution since McAfee's acquisition of Skyhigh Networks, and shows the company's commitment to enhancing its cloud security portfolio. "Moving applications, data and workloads to the cloud exposes enterprises to new threats and risks," says Rajiv Gupta, senior vice president of the cloud security business unit, McAfee.… [Continue Reading]

  HyperX launches Cloud Revolver gaming headset in beautiful Gunmetal color

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 12:42pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  HyperX makes lots of great products -- including top-notch RAM -- but many gamers have gone gaga over its headsets. This is for good reason, as the company's Cloud Revolver gaming headset, for instance, is one of the best. Today, HyperX launches the Cloud Revolver gaming headset in a beautiful Gunmetal color -- this is in addition to black. This is apparently the first time that color is available for the standard Revolver -- it was previously only available for the more expensive Revolver "S" package. If you haven't yet picked up a Cloud Revolver, and you are in need of a… [Continue Reading]

  Google Home brings free mobile and landline calls to UK users

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 12:00pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you live in the UK and have been looking for another reason to invest in a Google Home smart speaker, Google just gave you one. The company is going to give UK users the ability to place free calls to mobile and landline numbers. An update rolling out this week will add the new feature to Google Home speakers around the country. The feature was announced last year, and it brings the UK in line with the US -- and, importantly, it does not require tethering to a mobile phone, thereby trumping Apple HomePod.

  Perception of cloud security challenges differs across industries

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 11:47am CET par Ian Barker

  The cloud brings many benefits to businesses, but it also brings with it risks, the biggest of which concerns the security of information. A new survey from cloud governance specialist Netwrix looks at how different sectors and geographies deal with cloud security. There are interesting differences in the perception of risk across industries. Malware is most feared by health care organizations (61 percent) and government bodies (60 percent). But 62 percent of educational institutions see their own employees to be the biggest threat to cloud security, the largest share among all the industries surveyed. This result is explained by the… [Continue Reading]

  Chrome for Windows drops Microsoft compiler in favor of Clang

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 10:05am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Windows version of Google Chrome is ditching Microsoft's C++ Compiler and switching to Clang. The change brings Chrome for Windows in line with versions of the browser for macOS, Android and Linux. The move not only makes complete sense for Google -- why not use the same compiler on all platforms, after all? -- it makes Chrome the first high-profile Windows app to make use of the open source compiler Clang.

  Microsoft confirms Windows 10 S will become a 'mode' of Windows 10 next year

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 9:38am CET par Wayne Williams

  It was reported last month that Microsoft was planning to transition its education-focused Windows 10 S from a separate operating system into a "mode" in existing versions of Windows 10. It was a move that surprised no one. Windows 10 S is a locked down version of Windows 10 that can only run UWP apps from the Microsoft Store, and while that makes it more secure, it also significantly limits what can be done with the OS.

  BlackBerry sues Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram in messaging patent spat

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 9:21am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  BlackBerry -- yep, them -- has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, claiming that the companies infringed on patents relating to BlackBerry Messenger. This is not the first time the company has sued other tech firms, drawing on its back catalog of over 40,000 patents in a bid to pull in money through licensing fees. BlackBerry insists, however, that litigation is "not central to [its] strategy."

  As Debian comes to Windows 10, should we worry Microsoft will 'embrace, extend, and extinguish' Linux?

  Publié: mars 7, 2018, 2:34am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Personally, I am not a fan of running Linux distributions on Windows 10 -- WSL, virtual machine, or otherwise. While I appreciate Microsoft's focus on Linux lately, I am of the opinion that if you want to run an operating system based on that open source kernel, then you should just do so natively -- not on top of Windows. While there is no proof that anything nefarious is afoot, it does feel like maybe the Windows-maker is hijacking the Linux movement a bit by serving distros in its store. I pray there is no "embrace, extend, and extinguish" shenanigans… [Continue Reading]
