Blockchain isn't just a ledger, it will help businesses boost revenue
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 8:53pm CET par Andrew Ma
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology, and it has the world’s business leaders talking. The distributed ledger system will change the way companies handle online payments, contracts and logistics. But so far, there has been little conversation about how blockchain will help businesses increase their revenue. This is another benefit the technology will bring, as soon as businesses realize they can use it to buy and sell enterprise data without an intermediary like Amazon or Facebook. Data is the most valuable commodity in business today, but so far only Internet giants can monetize information about customers and potential customers. Businesses are… [Continue Reading] -
The shady world of mobile app tracking
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 4:57pm CET par Ian Barker
Most of us click on the Agree button when we install apps without actually reading the privacy agreement. But some new research from Princeton University and other bodies reveals that many apps use a network of third-party services -- often invisible to the user -- that provide analytics, social network integration, and monetization. Often, these mobile advertising and tracking services have an intimate view of the user's activity and are keen to harvest personal data. In all, the team identified 2,121 trackers -- 233 of which were previously unknown to popular advertising and tracking blacklists. These trackers collect personal data including… [Continue Reading] -
US says Russia launched a cyberattack on its energy grid
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 4:25pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
The US has introduced new sanctions against Russia after accusing the country not only of interfering in the 2016 election, but also launching a cyberattack on its energy grid. Officials say that malware traced back to Moscow had been found to have infected operating systems on computers belonging to companies in the energy sector. The Department of Homeland Security is in no doubt that the Russian government is responsible. The attack has been described as coordinated as "deliberately targeted," with a senior official saying: "It is the judgment of the DHS than Russian government cyberhackers were behind the hacking of… [Continue Reading] -
Businesses are failing to understand the impact of cloud outages
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 3:42pm CET par Ian Barker
Many firms in the UK are failing to understand their responsibilities in relation to systems in the cloud, according to a new study. The research from Veritas Technologies shows that 66 percent of respondents believe that dealing with cloud service interruptions is the primary responsibility of their cloud service provider. In addition 76 percent believe that their organization's cloud service provider is responsible for ensuring that their workloads and data in the cloud are protected against outages. 77 percent of UK respondents have not fully evaluated the cost of a cloud outage to their business and are therefore ill prepared… [Continue Reading] -

Wikipedia didn't know about YouTube's plans to show its content next to conspiracy videos
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 11:44am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
YouTube's announcement that it plans to display content from Wikipedia next to conspiracy videos in the name of balance and providing the "right information" caught many people by surprise -- none more so than Wikipedia itself. Wikimedia Foundation -- the organization behind Wikipedia -- has issued a statement saying that "we were not given advance notice of this announcement." While the organization does not object to YouTube's decision, it does seem a little strange that there has been no discussion between the two parties.

Microsoft removes AV compatibility requirements for Windows 10 security updates
Publié: mars 15, 2018, 10:21am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
In the fallout from the revelations about the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities -- and the ensuing chaos relating to patches for the security problems -- Microsoft blocked security updates for Windows 10 users with antivirus software whose compatibility with patches was not known. Two months after making this decision, Microsoft has changed course and said that updates can roll out to everyone once again. The company says this is a result of working with antivirus partners and patches should no longer lead to problems in most cases.

Publié: mars 15, 2018, 9:53am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

Google recognizes the need many people have to find routes that are free from steps, have elevators, or feature modes of… [Continue Reading] -

Publié: mars 15, 2018, 12:10am CET par Brian Fagioli
