  What's wrong with this picture?

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 11:45pm CEST par Joe Wilcox

  Earlier today, I needed to get Skype onto my iPhone X to receive an overseas call. So I hauled over to the App Store, like any sensible iOS user would do. I was shocked—absolutely floored—to see an advert for Google Duo taking up about half the screen, and appearing above Skype. You got to ask how many people end up downloading the upper one instead. I don't often go to the App Store and wonder: How long has been this kind of aggressive placement? The Internet has its share of whiners about paid adverts placed on Google search pages—and not… [Continue Reading]

  Malware insights -- How do you stack up?

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 10:21pm CEST par Andy Norton

  In April, Lastline launched the first of our Malscape Monitor reports, for the fourth quarter of 2017. The report analyzes data from our Global Threat Intelligence Network to provide several insights and benchmarks on encounter rates with malware that CISOs can use to measure their own cyber risk and security performance. There are three findings that I want to elaborate on in this blog post that I think will illustrate why many of today’s threat detection technologies are ineffective resulting in increased risk of a malware infection. External Threat Intel Feeds are Not Helpful Most threat intelligence feeds are static… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter tweaks algorithms to give trolls less prominence

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 7:50pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Twitter's troll problem has not improved, despite various measures taken by the company. The latest attempt to get things under control finds Twitter changing its algorithms to take into account "behavioral signals" and help bury content from trolls. The algorithm tweaks do not means that tweets will be deleted, but those that are found to "distort and detract from the public conversation" will be pushed further down conversations and search results to reduce their visibility.

  Google Wifi can now test the connection speed of all your devices

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 6:59pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Google Wifi solved the problem of patchy Wi-Fi in my home and it’s fair to say I’m a big fan of the company’s mesh solution. The app for it, which is used to set up and monitor your network, is great and the Network Check feature is essential for testing the speed of your internet, the connection quality between points, and the Wi-Fi strength of your mobile device. The Network Check feature is about to get better though, with the ability to measure how each individual connected device is performing on your wireless network. Announcing the new addition, Google says:… [Continue Reading]

  How blockchain is set to change the world

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 5:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In most people's minds blockchain technology is associated with cryptocurrency, but it has potential to be useful in a whole range of other areas. Consumer research company The Opinion Economy has produced an infographic to highlight the potential of blockchain in a whole range of areas. The things it looks at include the building of self-enforcing smart contracts, and the savings that it can offer in administering payments and securing transactions, streamlining operations by cutting out middlemen. There's potential to improve the quality of healthcare and to smooth out real estate transactions too. It could also be used to authenticate… [Continue Reading]

  Publicly disclosed vulnerabilities continue to rise

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 4:46pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The first quarter of 2018 has shown a 1.8 percent increase in the number of disclosed vulnerabilities over the same period in 2017, with 5,375 unique vulnerabilities reported. This is one of the findings of Risk Based Security's latest Vulnerability QuickView Report, which suggests that unless the rate of increase slows down 2018 will be another record year. More worrying is that 1,790 (33.3 percent) of the vulnerabilities tracked do not have a CVE ID assigned and therefore are not available in NVD and similar databases that solely rely on CVE. 19.7 percent of these vulnerabilities have a CVSSv2 score… [Continue Reading]

  Canonical finally comments on Ubuntu Linux Snap Store security failure

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 4:22pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Over the weekend, we reported on an Ubuntu Snap Store app that had a hidden cryptocurrency miner. This was a disappointing discovery, as users' machines were being hijacked to earn money for the developer. With that said, it wasn't necessarily malware, as it did not cause harm to the computer, nor did it steal data or install a backdoor. Nevertheless, Canonical pulled the offending app and the developer's other submissions. The apps will eventually be re-listed without the mining code. Today, the company breaks its silence, finally commenting officially on this fiasco. The big question is whether or not this… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft announces Surface Hub 2 -- but you won't be able to buy it anytime soon

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 3:57pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft’s original Surface Hub was plagued with manufacturing problems and delays. The giant wall-mounted Surface, aimed at businesses, was first announced in 2015, with an estimated shipping date of July 1. That date came and went, and Microsoft announced that it would instead arrive January 2016, but then missed that deadline as well, and threw in a price hike for good measure. The product eventually started shipping to businesses in March 2016. Now, just over two years later, a new generation of Surface Hub is being announced. Want to get one for your business? Predictably it’s not going to be… [Continue Reading]

  UK Reported security incidents increase ahead of GDPR

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 3:55pm CEST par Ian Barker

  When GDPR comes into force next week, organizations will have 72 hours to report security breaches to a regulator once they become aware of them. Ahead of the new legislation, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has released details of the latest data security trends. Reported incidents in the final quarter of 2017 showed a 17 percent increase over the previous quarter, perhaps indicating that companies are taking a more proactive approach to reporting as GDPR approaches. Incidents in the education sector rose by 32 percent over the same period and those in the charitable and giving sector by 69… [Continue Reading]

  100 percent of organizations have active insider threats

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 3:22pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study from user behavior intelligence specialist Dtex Systems has uncovered active insider threats in all of the organizations it assessed. Failure to gain visibility is allowing malicious and negligent employees to engage in undetected high-risk activities on every endpoint, on and off the network. Malicious employees are users that intentionally harm their organizations through theft, sabotage, and blatant disregard for security. Negligent employees are those that hurt their organization due to a lack of defenses, lack of awareness, carelessness and error. "Organizations come to us because they know their employees are engaged in risky behaviors. They usually have… [Continue Reading]

  Kaspersky to move data from Russia to Switzerland to improve transparency

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 2:05pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Kaspersky Lab has announced that it plans to move data out of Russia and into a new data center in Switzerland. The move is part of the company's Global Transparency Initiative which came in response to concerns about ties to the Russian government. Software produced by Kaspersky has already been banned from US government systems, and the company has been on a mission to prove that Russia is not spying on other countries via its antivirus tools.

  Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse is very affordable with long battery life

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 1:13pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Wireless mice are more aesthetically pleasing than wired variants, but for the most part, I choose pointing devices with cables. Why? Well, nothing infuriates me more than having a mouse stop working because the battery died -- especially while in the middle of a game. At least with a wired mouse, I don't have to worry about that. Today, Logitech unveils an affordable gaming mouse that offers an incredible 250 hours of battery life, meaning anxiety about depleted batteries should be minimal. An indicator light will alert you when power is getting low, so you won't be caught off guard.… [Continue Reading]

  Master & Dynamic reveals convertible MW50+ wireless on-ear/over-ear headphones

  Publié: mai 15, 2018, 6:05am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Master & Dynamic headphones have previously proved very popular here with the BetaNews team, and the latest addition -- the MW50+ -- looks set to continue the trend. The same retro look is here, and these new headphones sit part way between the MW50 and MW60 models. While the MW50 features an on-ear design, and the MW60 an over-ear design, the MW50+ can convert between on-ear and over-ear modes thanks to detachable, magnetic earpads made of memory foam and lambskin. The company says that the headphones are aimed at the "busy urban professional", and the switchable ear modes are not… [Continue Reading]
