  How to protect Kodi from cryptojacking

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 9:49pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Cryptojacking might not be as terrifying a threat as ransomware, but it’s a major annoyance that’s becoming more and more prevalent. If you’re not familiar, the attack essentially uses other people’s systems to mine cryptocurrency, usually without their consent. When a cryptocurrency miner is running, your system will experience slowdowns and maybe crashes. The miner will eat up system resources, interfering with tasks like streaming video.

You're at risk from cryptocurrency mining malware In response to this threat, TVAddons has released a new tool which protects Kodi users… [Continue Reading]

  You can now download 5K wallpapers from the '2018 Editions' of Windows 7, XP and more

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 9:23pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  As you’ll know if you’re a frequent visitor to BetaNews, YouTuber Kamer Kaan Avdan has been creating some fantastic concept videos for various operating systems of the future, including Windows 11, iOS 12 and Android 9.0. Most recently though, it’s his modernizing of Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 95 which have really caught people's attention. If you’ve watched any of his videos, and thought how cool it would be to actually run one of those operating systems, the bad news is they remain purely concepts for now. However, you can customize your existing OS with some wallpapers from his… [Continue Reading]

  Is antivirus still relevant for your organization?

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 9:00pm CEST par Ilan Paretsky

  As technology evolves, it leaves behind a junkyard of products that are longer needed. Electric typewriters, dial-up modems, and floppy disks -- all once intrinsic parts of workaday life -- are now long-obsolete relics. Although we’re not quite there yet, it seems increasingly plausible that traditional antivirus software is likewise reaching its twilight years. Not convinced? Consider these statistics. As far back as 2014, Symantec’s Senior Vice President -- certainly not a person you’d expect to talk down antivirus software -- declared that antivirus was "dead" and effective against less than 50 percent of cyberattacks. More recently, detection rates of… [Continue Reading]

  Intel CEO Brian Krzanich resigns over relationship with employee

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 4:51pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Brian Krzanich, the CEO of Intel, has resigned after it came to light that he was in a relationship with an employee. Shares in the company dropped 1.3 percent at the news. Although the relationship was entirely consensual, it was deemed to be a violation of Intel's non-fraternization policy which managers must abide by, and it has been brought to light in the context of the #MeToo movement. The current chief financial officer, Robert Swan, is to become interim CEO until a full-time replacement can be found.

  Battery saving app infects over 60,000 Android devices

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 3:59pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at RiskIQ have uncovered a scam app that seeks to steal information and launches advert clicking to make money for the scammers. The app is advertised as a battery saver. The twist here is that though it will actually do what it says and cut battery use, it does a lot of nasty stuff too. "Many of the millions of scams we crawl at RiskIQ are relatively straightforward, but every once in a while we find something unique," say researchers Aaron Inness and Yonathan Klijnsma writing on the company's blog. "Usually, scams point to other web pages, but in… [Continue Reading]

  New tool provides email protection for Office 365

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 3:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Office 365's dominant share of the online business tools market has made it a popular target for cybercriminals launching phishing and malware attacks. To offer users extra protection, email security specialist Vade Secure is launching a new solution that's fully integrated into Office 365 and offers filtering powered by artificial intelligence. Vade Secure for Office 365 is closely aligned with Microsoft's partner-first, cloud-first strategy. It's built from the ground up with a cloud-native, API-based architecture, natively integrates with Office 365 and runs on Microsoft Azure. It blocks advanced attacks using machine learning models that perform real-time behavioral analysis of the… [Continue Reading]

  Motorola Moto Z3 Play and G6 Play are the newest Amazon Prime Exclusive Phones

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 12:19pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  An Amazon Prime membership is a great thing, especially if you take advantage of all of its offerings. The free 2-day shipping by itself makes it worthwhile for many, but the Prime Video streaming service puts it over the edge -- there are so many great movies and TV shows available, you could easily forgo Netflix to save money. Following Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods, the membership can even get you discounts on groceries -- only in some areas of the country for now, however. There are even more perks, so ultimately, Amazon Prime is worth the cost, even after… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft acquires machine learning and AI startup Bonsai

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 10:09am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Seeking to strengthen its artificial intelligence arsenal, Microsoft has announced an agreement to acquire San Francisco-based AI startup Bonsai. Bonsai already had Microsoft links, having been set up back in 2014 by two former Microsoft engineers, Mark Hammond and Keen Browne. The company specializes in "deep reinforcement learning" which can be used to teach autonomous systems within simulations, and the company sees this tying in with Azure.

  Gamers waiting for virtual reality on Xbox are out of luck

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 9:45am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Backtracking on what it said last year, Microsoft has announced that it has no plans to bring either virtual reality or mixed reality experiences to its Xbox console. Back in March 2017, the company had said that it wanted to bring MR to Xbox users, but now it seems to have changed its mind. Microsoft has not really given any reason for the change of heart, but it has not given up completely on VR or MR.

  Instagram celebrates 1 billion users by announcing IGTV video platform

  Publié: juin 21, 2018, 3:24am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  YouTube is a great video platform -- I have no complaints, really. With that said, I also enjoy watching content on Twitch. Ultimately, competition is a good thing, as it forces companies to innovate rather than stagnate. Today, yet another video service debuts, and it is backed by a major player in the social network space -- Instagram. Just how major is it? Today, Instagram announces it has achieved 1 billion users! To celebrate, the Facebook-owned photo site is launching a true video platform that goes beyond the short throwaway videos the service currently offers. Called "IGTV," it is aiming… [Continue Reading]
