  Number of DDoS attacks falls but sophistication improves

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 3:47pm CET par Ian Barker

  2018 saw a decline of 13 percent in the overall number of DDoS attacks when compared to the previous year, but cybercriminals are turning to longer, more sophisticated, mixed and HTTP flood attack techniques. This is revealed in Kaspersky Lab's DDoS Q4 2018 Intelligence Report, which also shows the average attack duration has grown. Compared with the beginning of the year, the average length of attacks has more than doubled -- from 95 minutes in Q1 to 218 minutes in Q4 2018. The most common type of attack is User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flooding (accounting for 49 percent), but these… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 2:58pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Microsoft's Surface computers are pretty good machines -- if you like Windows 10, that is. A bit pricey, yes, but overall, they offer a quality experience. True, they are often a bit buggy, but Microsoft is usually pretty good about fixing them with various driver and firmware updates. Today, Microsoft brags that Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 2, and Surface Studio 2 are now available in 20 new markets. Wow! Impressive, right? Actually, who friggin' knows if that is big news or not. You see, the Windows-maker is mum on what the new markets actually are. Maybe the list is… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 1:40pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Users of Trakt -- a service for "scrobbling", or tracking the movies and TV shows you watch in the likes of Plex and Kodi -- have received emails from the company notifying them of a data breach that took place way back in 2014. Trakt says that although the security breach took place over four years ago, it only recently discovered it. The company says that an investigation is underway, but that it believes a "PHP exploit was used to capture data", including users' emails, usernames, encrypted passwords, names and locations.

  Germany bans Facebook from combining user data collected from Instagram and WhatsApp

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 11:56am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The German cartel office, the Bundeskartellamt, has imposed new restrictions on how Facebook processes the data it gathers about users of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. Germany's antitrust watchdog has hit the social network with a ban on combining user data it gathers from different sources, unless it has explicit consent from users. While Facebook is still free to gather data about Instagram users and WhatsApp users, this data cannot be automatically combined with data gathered via a users' Facebook account.

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 11:25am CET par Ian Barker

  A new survey from identity platform Okta shows that 67 percent of knowledge workers prefer Microsoft Word over Google Docs, while only 15 percent report the opposite.

  Microsoft brings AI-powered background blurring to Skype

  Publié: février 7, 2019, 11:10am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A few months after adding background blurring to its Teams tool, Microsoft has brought the same option to Skype on the desktop. The feature serves two purposes. Firstly it helps to focus attention on the person that is speaking, but secondly -- and perhaps more importantly -- it hides any untidiness (or secrets) that may be going on behind the speaker. It's another push from Microsoft to move people away from Skype Classic to Skype 8.
