  After failing to disclose user data leaks, Google is shutting down Google+ and improving APIs

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 8:52pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The private data of nearly half a million Google+ users was exposed to third-party developers, and Google failed to notify anyone. A bug in Google+ APIs meant that users' names, email addresses, occupations, gender and age were accessible from 2015 until Google discovered and patched the problem in March this year. Despite the data possibly having been accessed by 438 apps, Google chose not to go public about the security breach until now. And in a dramatic move, the company has announced that it is shutting down Google+ for consumers. Google has also revealed details of Project Strobe, an audit… [Continue Reading]

  HyperX 'Cloud MIX' Bluetooth stereo gaming headset is both wired and wireless

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 7:57pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  For many PC gamers, wired accessories are preferable to wireless. Why? Well, besides potential lag with keyboards and mice, there is a fear of having batteries die during a match. When gaming, nothing is worse than having your mouse, keyboard, or headset stop working. To lose because of such nonsense is utterly maddening. What if you want the reliability of a wired headset, for instance, but crave the wireless freedom a Bluetooth model offers? Today, HyperX unveils a new headset that is both wired and wireless -- the best of both worlds. Called "Cloud MIX," the headset can achieve up… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook unveils its new smart video calling hardware: Portal and Portal+

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 4:50pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Still reeling from a security breach that affected up to 90 million users, Facebook has announced two new pieces of hardware designed to make video chat easier and more immersive than ever. Portal and Portal+ are 10- and 15-inch smart displays complete with integrated cameras and packed with AI. But even Facebook acknowledges there are privacy concerns. The social networking giant says: "When you can’t be there, Portal and Portal+ let you feel there". What does it mean by this? The cameras are intelligent, meaning they pan and zoom, following people around the room as necessary. Facebook promises that Portal… [Continue Reading]

  Artificial intelligence used to identify social engineering risks

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 3:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Security awareness training company KnowBe4 is launching a new version of its platform using artificial intelligence to identify evolving risks. It includes a Virtual Risk Officer that helps security or IT professionals identify risks at the user, group or organizational level, resulting in better decision making for their security awareness plans. This is supplemented by a Virtual Risk Score which alerts admins to which users or groups are particularly vulnerable to social engineering attacks. These scores help organizations identify which groups are most apt to click on a phishing link, who has or hasn't been trained and which are the… [Continue Reading]

  VisionTek Portable 1TB Thunderbolt 3 SSD [Review]

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 2:38pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  With the exception of extremely low-cost budget models, all modern computers (laptops and desktops) should have Thunderbolt 3 these days. Why? Because TB3 is simply amazing -- it uses the USB-C connector, but is much faster than USB 3.1 Gen 2. With Thunderbolt 3 being so fast, many consumers -- including yours truly -- have been waiting for external PCIe NVMe TB3 drives to begin hitting the mainstream. I am happy to say I have been testing one from VisionTek with my 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, and as you can imagine, it is super quick. Features (as listed… [Continue Reading]

  Windows Insiders reported the Windows 10 file deletion problem to Microsoft months ago

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 2:27pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The purpose of the Windows Insider program is to let users test out pre-release versions of Windows 10 months in advance, so they can try out new features, and report problems. In theory, this means when a new Windows 10 feature update rolls out to the public, all of the major bugs should have been squashed. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case, and occasionally really bad bugs -- like user personal data getting deleted by the update -- make it through the testing process. When something like this happens, it’s easy to think the issue simply failed to get picked… [Continue Reading]

  UK court blocks iPhone users' privacy case against Google

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 1:40pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The UK's High Court has blocked legal action brought against Google by the group Google You Owe Us. The group represented Apple smartphone owners and claimed that Google had collected personal data from over 4 million iPhone owners. Fronted by former Which? director Richard Lloyd, Google You Owe Us said that between August 2011 and February 2012 the search giant bypassed iPhone privacy settings and gathered user data for advertising purposes.

  Google Safety Centre arrives in Europe -- or Safety Center... Google hasn't decided

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 12:08pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has announced that its Safety Centre hub is rolling out across Europe. The announcement means that people in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK have access to Google's selection of tools and tips for staying safe online. The launch has been timed to coincide with European Cyber Security Month, but Google doesn't quite seem to have decided how to spell the name of its own offering.

  Understanding the privacy paradox

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 11:26am CEST par Ian Barker

  In the modern world people often say they care about privacy, but their actions don't reflect their words. Exploring this privacy paradox is a new infographic from privacy app company Keepsafe. It shows that 35 percent of people have concerns when making purchases on their mobile devices, but 43 percent do so anyway in the name of convenience. Among other findings are that 65 percent aren't comfortable when disclosing personal information to websites, but only 51 percent would use an app to protect their personal phone number online. Among millennials, 48 percent have private content on their phones, yet 78… [Continue Reading]

  Walmart teams up with MGM to create content for Netflix alternative Vudu

  Publié: octobre 8, 2018, 10:25am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Walmart has partnered with movie studio Metro Goldwyn Mayer to help boost content for its video-on-demand platform Vudu. Vudu -- which Walmart bought eight years ago -- has failed to attract a userbase anything close to that of rival Netflix, but by teaming up with MGM, there is clearly a push to change this. MGM will create original content based on its library of film and TV franchises. Walmart is also planning to introduce a new "shoppable" video ad format.
