  Publié: mars 29, 2018, 4:46pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Top barriers to DevOps adoption include stagnant organizational cultures and managing a jumble of legacy processes.

Other worries include the lack of standardized mechanisms for continuous testing (13 percent); managing the setup, tear-down and automation during different stages of the DevOps lifecycle (13 percent); and lack of dedicated budgets for these projects (nine percent).

Other sectors escaped lightly by comparison, with entertainment and leisure on six percent, financial services three percent, technology three percent, and healthcare two percent.

  Have I Been Pwned teams up with 1Password to improve post-security breach advice

  Publié: mars 29, 2018, 2:30pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Data breach checking website Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) -- used by governments and individuals around the world -- has announced a new partnership with 1Password. The arrangement is a first for Troy Hunt's site, but it comes just over a month after 1Password started using a password-checker he developed. Hunt says that he has turned down numerous offers to sponsor Have I Been Pwned, but feels that teaming up with 1Password makes sense.

  European users now have a longer cooling-off period to claim Google Play refunds

  Publié: mars 29, 2018, 1:33pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has introduced new policies for its customers living in the European Economic Area. The updated policies allow users longer to apply for a refund on purchases made through the Google Play Store While most of the world has a 48-hour timeframe to ask for a refund, this has been extended to a full two weeks in the EEA. The policy changes have come into play to comply with EU law which gives customers a 14-day "cooling-off" period during which they are entitled to ask for their money back -- but it doesn't cover everything.

  Publié: mars 29, 2018, 12:37pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Still holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been given the snip. Ecuador took the decision to cut off the fugitive's internet connection, severing one of his lines of communication with the outside world. Assange -- who a judge recently described as a man who "appears to consider himself above the normal rules of law" -- has been living in the embassy since 2012 when he was wanted for questioning in Sweden on sexual assault allegations. He has hidden away claiming he could be extradited to the US to face charges over WikiLeaks revelations,… [Continue Reading]

  Security issues in gay dating app Grindr exposed users' locations

  Publié: mars 29, 2018, 11:09am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Two security issues have been discovered in Grindr, the gay dating app, which could reveal the location of users even if they opted to keep this information private. There are concerns that the privacy compromise could lead to harassment of Grindr users. Trevor Faden created a site called C*ckBlocked (that's the actually name, we're not being prudish and getting out our censorship pens) which was designed to give Grindr users the chance to see who had blocked them. By exploiting a security loophole similar to the one exposed in the recent Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal, Faden's site was able to access… [Continue Reading]
