  Satechi launches Aluminum USB Type-C UHS-II Micro/SD Card Reader

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 6:17pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  More and more laptops are being manufactured without SD card slots. For many consumers, this isn't a problem. For others, such as photographers, it is a huge pain point. Thankfully, adding a card reader to a notebook or desktop is as easy as plugging in a USB adapter. Of course, these days, laptop manufacturers are also forgoing USB Type-A ports, making existing adapters incompatible without a USB-A to USB-C dongle. Alternatively, you can simply buy a USB-C card reader, and today, Satechi launches an absolutely gorgeous such product. Its new reader, which is made with aluminum, supports both SD and… [Continue Reading]

  Apple kills off its app affiliate program

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 5:29pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Apple has announced that it is removing apps from its affiliate program. The change means that people will no longer receive commission for iOS and Mac apps. Having once enabled sites to earn 7 percent commission for app sales, Apple then dropped this to just 2.5 percent. As of October 1, no commission will be paid at all as Apple says the App Store does a good enough job of increasing app discovery.

  Facebook API changes mean you can no longer cross-post from Twitter

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 4:21pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Twitter users can no longer automatically cross-post to Facebook. The restriction has come about after Facebook made changes to the way third parties are able to make use of its APIs. It means that Twitter users who have connected their Facebook account to make it easier to post the same content on both services via Facebook Login can't have their tweets automatically posted to Facebook. The -- rather unsatisfactory -- solution from Twitter is simply copy the URL of a tweet, and this can then be manually posted to Facebook.

  Preempt allows organizations to detect and block hacker reconnaissance tools

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 4:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Increasingly cybercriminals are using their initial attacks to probe systems and look for other vulnerabilities or network resources that they can later exploit. Threat detection platform Preempt is launching new capabilities that allow enterprises to prevent lateral movement and unauthorized domain access due to the misuse of network credentials in reconnaissance tools. It will give organizations the ability to detect use of reconnaissance tools like BloodHound and other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) analysis tools. Additionally, Preempt enables security teams to respond in real time as tools are being used, to prevent a threat before it impacts the network. This… [Continue Reading]

  There is no shortage of web browsers for Linux. Two of the most popular browsers -- Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox -- are easy to install and work quite brilliantly. Another fairly popular option is available too -- Opera. All three aforementioned browsers are cross-platform, making them great options not only for Linux, but Mac and Windows too. Today, the Opera web browser for Linux becomes available as a Snap. If you aren't familiar, this means it is packaged for installation on any Linux distribution that supports Canonical's Snap format.

  Carbon Black launches real-time security ops solution

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 3:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Security and operations teams often have no reliable way to assess the current state of endpoints across their enterprise. Lack of visibility is a major concern which leads to greater risk of a breach and a lack of information to take appropriate action after a problem occurs. The latest offering from Carbon Black, Cb LiveOps empowers organizations to ask questions of all their endpoints, take action to remediate in real time, and simplify operational reporting, all from a single platform. "Cb LiveOps changes the game for security operations," says Ryan Polk, Carbon Black's chief product officer. "With a single console… [Continue Reading]

  SMBs rank network security as top concern

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 12:26pm CEST par Ian Barker

  SMBs are just as likely to be attacked by cybercriminals as larger businesses, yet they lack the budgets and resources to secure their systems and deal with the aftermath of an attack. It’s not surprising then that a poll of more than 350 SMBs worldwide by cybersecurity specialist Untangle finds that firewall and network security are rated as the top security concerns, particularly as more systems move to the cloud. But less than 30 percent of SMBs surveyed have a dedicated IT security professional on their staff. 50 percent distribute IT security responsibilities across other roles. Although 75 percent of… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 12:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at Trustwave have uncovered an attack on tens of thousands of MikroTik routers which is being used to embed CoinHive cryptominer scripts in websites. A surge in CoinHive actvity in Brazil at the start of this week alerted researchers that something was happening. Further investigation showed that MicroTik devices were at the root of the problem and all were using the same CoinHive site key. MikroTik routers are used mainly by internet providers and big organizations, allowing the attack to reach large numbers of users. The attack is believed to have affected at least 70,000 routers in Brazil and… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 11:16am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Leaked report shows Google plans a censored search engine for China... but China says otherwise

  Publié: août 2, 2018, 10:00am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A leaked document suggests that Google is planning on making a return to China, launching a censored version of its search engine to comply with strict Chinese laws. Going by the codename of Dragonfly, the project has been in the works since 2017 and has led to the creation of China-specific Android apps with the internal testing names Maotai and Longfei. But while the documents and people familiar with the matter say that the launch date could be just six to nine months away, China says the reports are not true.
