  Microsoft, Facebook and Symantec are among 34 companies pledging not to help governments launch cyberattacks

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 6:36pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  More than 30 technology companies have signed the Cybersecurity Tech Accord, making a number of pledges relating to cyberattacks. Microsoft, Facebook, Dell, HP and LinkedIn are just a few of the companies signing on the dotted line, promising -- among other things -- never to help a government launch cyberattacks against innocent citizens and enterprises. The overall aim of the accord is to protect customers against malicious attacks by cybercriminal enterprises and nation-states. It is described as a "watershed agreement", and it sees a number of very big names coming together -- although there are a few notable exceptions. Missing… [Continue Reading]

  Intel Accelerated Memory Scanning offloads malware scanning to GPUs to boost performance

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 5:38pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities really focused people's attention on the security of processors, and Intel has been at pains to convince users that it takes security seriously. With this in mind, the company has now announced a new Threat Detection Technology which introduces two new malware-fighting techniques. Accelerated Memory Scanning offloads malware scanning to GPUs, taking the strain off CPUs and helping to improve performance. There's already interest, with Microsoft planning to add support to Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection. Intel has also revealed Advanced Platform Telemetry which is supposed to cut down on false positives. See also: Intel… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook: Yep, we track non-users -- but everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn't we?

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 4:46pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  In a blog post addressing some of the questions Mark Zuckerberg failed to properly answer in front of Congress, Facebook has admitted that it tracks both users and non-users as they use the web. This is something the social network has historically denied. Facebook's product management director, David Baser, conceded that "when you visit a site or app that uses our services, we receive information even if you're logged out or don't have a Facebook account." Not happy to make this concession without pointing fingers, he then goes on to point out that other companies such as Twitter, Pinterest and… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 4:35pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey of channel partners by container platform specialist Diamanti reveals that resellers and service providers see the adoption of containers as a massive disruption and opportunity. Enterprises are rapidly adapting their applications and systems for the cloud, and containers are viewed as a key enabling technology. According to Diamanti's survey, more than 75 percent of channel partners say containers represent a moderate or major money-making opportunity. "Every 10 to 15 years there's a fundamental shift in how IT is delivered and consumed," says Mike Vizard, author of the survey findings and long-time channel and server infrastructure expert.

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 3:03pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey reveals that 60 percent of companies are not likely to meet the May 25 deadline for compliance with the new European GDPR legislation. The study from Crowd Research Partners shows only seven percent of surveyed organizations say they are in full compliance with GDPR requirements today, and 33 percent state they are well on their way to the compliance deadline. While 80 percent confirm GDPR is a top priority for their organization, only half say they are knowledgeable about the data privacy legislation or have deep expertise. A worrying 25 percent have no or only very limited… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft made its own IoT-ready Linux kernel for Azure Sphere OS

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 11:41am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Microsoft has opened up its heart to Linux in recent years, but now the company has done something that would have previously been unthinkable: it has built its own Linux kernel. As part of its embracing of the Internet of Things, Microsoft has announced Azure Sphere, an ARM-based platform for the IoT with a focus on security. Key to Azure Sphere are small MCU-powered (microcontroller) devices -- essentially SoC devices -- which run Azure Sphere OS and securely connect to Azure backends. Security comes thanks to the use of a custom Linux kernel. See also: Linus Torvalds says Linux kernel… [Continue Reading]

  TaskRabbit app and website are down while a 'cybersecurity incident' is investigated

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 11:01am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  IKEA-owned TaskRabbit is offline while the company investigates a "cybersecurity incident". Very little information has been given about the incident, but the company says that it is working with "an outside cybersecurity firm and law enforcement to determine specifics" of what happened. While even vague details are unavailable, the fact that the TaskRabbit website and app have been taken offline could well be indicative of the severity. The company is advising its customers to change their passwords elsewhere if they have reused their TaskRabbit credentials for other sites and services. TaskRabbit is a service that makes it possible for people… [Continue Reading]

  US and UK issue joint warning about Russian hacking of routers and ISPs

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 10:07am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Global fears about cyberattacks by Russia are not calming down, and the US and UK have just issued a joint alert warning of state-sponsored attacks on network infrastructure devices, including residential routers. The west is accusing Russia of an espionage-driven malicious cyberoffensive, and the Technical Alert -- which comes following a joint effort between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) -- warns that both governmental and residential hardware is being targeted to "potentially lay a foundation for future offensive operations".

  Microsoft reveals more about the 'blocking bug' that is delaying Windows 10 Spring Creators Update

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 9:14am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  With the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17134 (Redstone 4) to the Fast Ring, Microsoft has given a little insight into want went wrong with build 17133, which had been thought to be the RTM build but was delayed due to a "blocking bug". The release of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update was expected this month, but the launch date is now seemingly increasingly likely to slip into May. Microsoft has revealed that build 17133 was proving problematic and the company says it wants to fix the issues now, rather than after the fact. See also: It looks… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases new Windows 10 Spring Creators Update RTM candidate, Build 17134

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 8:55am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 Redstone 4 Build 17133 was widely thought to be the RTM for the forthcoming Spring Creators Update after it rolled out to Insiders on the Fast, Slow, and Release Preview rings in quick succession. However, Microsoft’s discovery of a blocking bug threw a rather large spanner in the works and delayed the release of the forthcoming feature update. Last week, the presence of a potentially new RTM was discovered, and Microsoft is now rolling out that release, Build 17134, to Insiders on the Fast ring. Announcing the new build, Insider’s chief Dona Sarkar says: Today, we are releasing… [Continue Reading]

  StarTech launches bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 docking stations

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 2:44am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Both Thunderbolt 3 docking stations and bus-powered USB-C hubs are nothing new. But what about bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 docking stations? Ah, that is a much more rare product. In fact, today, StarTech is launching two bus-powered portable Thunderbolt 3 docking stations that it claims are an "industry first." If you aren't familiar, "bus-powered" means there is no need for an AC adapter -- the port on your laptop powers the dock. This is great because, without a power adapter, you have one less thing to carry. Why are there two models? Well, while they are both similar, they are are also… [Continue Reading]

  Kingston UV500 3D NAND SATA SSD features 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption

  Publié: avril 17, 2018, 1:50am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you still haven't made the leap from HDD to SSD, what the heck are you waiting for? OK, true, mechanical drives are more affordable when capacity is considered, but come on -- the speed makes it totally worthwhile. It's not like you need a fancy NVMe drive either -- for most consumers, an inexpensive SATA-based solid state drive is more than adequate. Let's be honest -- outside of benchmarks and bragging rights, a blazing-fast PCIe SSD is probably overkill for the majority of consumers. Today, Kingston unveils a new line of SATA-based SSDs. They are available in three form… [Continue Reading]
