  Apple says the redesigned Mac Pro is coming in 2019

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 7:47pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you've been hoping for a new Mac Pro in the near future, you're going to be disappointed. Apple has said that a new model is not due to go on sale until 2019. There is good news, however. The Mac Pro is undergoing a complete redesign, but it will remain a modular, customizable machine. The release date of 2019 also means that you'll have more time to save up -- and you'll probably need it.

  Hacker exploits Verge bug to generate cryptocurrency coins worth $780,000 in 3 hours

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 7:12pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Verge may not be the biggest cryptocurrency out there, but it does have quite a following and has generated enough interest to attract hackers. The cryptocurrency came under attack for three hours yesterday, enabling a hacker to net 15.6 million Verge coins worth around $780,000. There was initially speculation that Verge had fallen victim to a ">51% attack" -- in which an attacker is able to forge transactions by taking control of more than half of the network -- but this has been denied by developers. A hard fork is being prepared to patch the bug that allowed the attack… [Continue Reading]

  Variant of Mirai botnet used to target financial sector in January

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 4:36pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at Recorded Future believe that a Mirai botnet variant, possibly linked to the IoTroop or Reaper botnet, was utilized in attacks on at least one company, and probably more, in the financial sector in late January of this year. The botnet targeted one company using at least 13,000 devices, each with a unique IP address, and generated traffic volumes up to 30Gb/s. Recorded Future's Insikt Group of researchers found the attack was 80 percent comprised of compromised MikroTik routers, with the remaining 20 percent composed of various IoT devices including other routers, webcams, TVs, and DVRs. The report's authors… [Continue Reading]

  Cloud use and compliance drive enterprise encryption strategy

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 3:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The need to protect sensitive data against cyber criminals, address complex compliance requirements, and guard against human error is driving enterprises to adopt encryption. A new study by cyber security company Thales eSecurity, based on research by the Ponemon Institute, shows that 43 percent of respondents report that their organization has an encryption strategy applied consistently across their enterprise. Among other findings are that 84 percent of respondents either use the cloud for sensitive and/or non-sensitive applications and data today, or will do so in the next 12-24 months. Also 61 percent of respondents are using more than one public… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 3:10pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The retail sector suffered the most breaches in 2017, accounting for 16.7 percent followed by the finance and insurance industry at 13.1 percent and hospitality at 11.9 percent.

These are among the findings of the latest Trustwave Global Security Report. Among other highlights are that half of the incidents investigated involved corporate and internal networks (up from 43 percent in 2016) followed by eCommerce… [Continue Reading]

  Western Digital unveils affordable and fast Black 3D NVMe SSD with up to 1TB capacity

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 2:52pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While prices for NVMe solid state drives are dropping, it is important to remember that all such drives are not created equally. We recently shared a new Kingston NVMe drive with you -- the A1000 -- and while I am sure it's a fine product, it only uses PCIe Gen 3.0 x2, making it slower than drives utilizing x4. Consumers will have to decide if the speed trade-off is worth any potential savings. Today, Western Digital launches the Black 3D NVMe SSD, and it looks amazing. While it is affordable, like the aforementioned Kingston drive, it uses PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, giving it insane… [Continue Reading]

  Intel: some processors will never receive Meltdown and Spectre patches

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 10:40am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  With little fanfare, Intel has revealed that some processors will simply never receive microcode updates that will patch against the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. In a document entitled Microcode Revision Guidelines, the chip-maker says that a wide range of processor families -- equating to over 200 CPUs -- will not receive any more updates. While the majority of the affected chips were on sale between 2007 and 2011, it's safe to assume that a large proportion of them are still in use, meaning that a lot of systems will remain unprotected.

  Privacy: Facebook will roll out GDPR controls to the whole world, not just Europe

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 9:45am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Mark Zuckerberg has laid out Facebook's plans for the future in a conference call with reporters. In it, he said that the social network now planned to bring GDPR-style privacy controls to all of its users, not just those in Europe for whom there will soon be a legal obligation to do so. The new legislation grants people more rights to access the data companies store about them, and demand it be deleted. The Facebook chief had previously said that non-European users would only be getting access to new options that were "in [the] spirit" of GDPR, but the backlash… [Continue Reading]

  JBL launches 'Reflect Mini 2' and 'Reflect Contour 2' Bluetooth sport headphones

  Publié: avril 5, 2018, 2:26am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When Apple removed the 3.5mm audio jack from the iPhone, some people freaked out. Look, I understand that change can be scary, but an analog port has no place on modern smartphones. For those that struggled to cope, Apple even included a free dongle, allowing these Luddites to take their time transitioning to the new standard -- Bluetooth.  Of course, despite the negative feedback Apple received, many Android manufacturers followed suit and removed the headphone jack too. The same thing is happening with the iPhone X's notch, but I digress. Regardless of whether your smartphone does or doesn't have a… [Continue Reading]
