  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 6:41pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

In the statement, Zuckerberg acknowledges that Facebook did not do enough to prevent the misuse of the social network's tools. He also personally accepts responsibility for recent failings at the company, saying: "It was my mistake, and I'm sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here."

  17 percent of employees fall for social engineering attacks

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 3:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Employees are still falling for social engineering techniques leading them to download malicious files, click phishing links, correspond with hackers, and even share contact information for their colleagues. Enterprise security specialist Positive Technologies imitated the actions of hackers by sending emails to employees with links to websites, password entry forms, and attachments. In total, 3,332 messages were sent. If the 'attacks' had been real, 17 percent of these messages would have led to a compromise of the employee's workstation and, ultimately, the entire corporate infrastructure. The findings show the most effective method of social engineering is to send an email… [Continue Reading]

  The space race is over and SpaceX won

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 12:00pm CEST par Robert X. Cringely

  The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently gave SpaceX permission to build Starlink -- Elon Musk's version of satellite-based broadband Internet. The FCC specifically approved launching the first 4,425 of what will eventually total 11,925 satellites in orbit. To keep this license SpaceX has to launch at least 2,213 satellites within six years. The implications of this project are mind-boggling with the most important probably being that it will likely result in SpaceX crushing its space launch competitors, companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin's United Launch Alliance (ULA) partnership as well as Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. Starlink is a hugely… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 11:46am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The far-reaching tentacles of the likes of Google and Facebook have focused people's attention on online privacy, but for anyone looking to retain a modicum of confidentiality it can be hard to know what to do.

The browser is a renamed and updated version of SafeZone. Avast has conducted… [Continue Reading]

  Consumer cryptomining attacks increase 4,000 percent

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 11:17am CEST par Ian Barker

  We already know that cryptomining is currently flavor of the month among malware creators, but a new report released today by Malwarebytes puts some startling figures on the problem. On consumer systems cryptomining detections were up a massive 4,000 percent in the last quarter, while ransomware detections fell 35 percent over the same period. For businesses cryptomining detections rose 27 percent this quarter and ransomware detections 28 percent. However, Spyware is still the cybercriminals' favourite choice, with over 80,000 detections in January alone. "The main focus here is that criminals have moved towards cryptomining and drive-by mining in lieu of… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 10:31am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Initially thought to affect 50 million accounts, it later transpired that as many as 87 million Facebook users were affected by the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal. Today, the social network is due to send a message to those whose data was involved. While the bulk of affected users -- around 70 million -- live in the US, there are also significant numbers in Europe, Facebook's message is said to be "detailed" and will appear in news feeds at some point today.

  File Manager for Windows 10 is now available as Microsoft open sources winfile code

  Publié: avril 9, 2018, 9:22am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Cast your mind back several years and you'll remember Windows 3.0 and earlier. This was when Microsoft started to bring home computing to the masses, and for anyone raised on modern Windows, the lack of Start menu, taskbar and other components makes the operating system seem antiquated and unusable. But use it we did! Back then, there was no File Explorer, but File Manager instead -- and it's something that people sometimes feel nostalgic about. A couple of days ago, Microsoft open sourced the File Manager code, and a Windows 10 version has been released. The source code -- as… [Continue Reading]
