  Confused about what Windows 10 test builds are in which Insider ring? There's an easy way to find out

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 8:40pm CET par Wayne Williams

  The Windows Insider program is a mess. It used to be as an Insider you got to test just early versions of the next big OS feature update, but now -- depending on which ring you’re in -- you might be testing versions for the first Windows 10 update of 2020, due out over a year from now. As if that’s not bad enough, Fast ring Insiders are currently receiving new builds at a rate of two a week -- which hardly provides enough time to install and test them -- while Slow ring Insiders get only very occasional updates.… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Windows 10 19H1 Build 18351 to the Fast ring

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 8:17pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Not many Windows 10 users have upgraded to the October 2018 Update yet, but Microsoft is still hard at work on finishing the next big feature update, codenamed 19H1, which is due out next month. New builds are coming out thick and fast, and today sees the release of Build 18351 to Fast ring Insiders. As is to be expected this close to release, there are no new features in this build, but it does come with the following general changes, improvements and fixes: If you haven’t been able to get the game State of Decay for free (for a… [Continue Reading]

  System76 Oryx Pro Linux laptop gets powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-Series GPU upgrade

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 8:06pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  System76 computers are notable for coming with a Linux-based operating system, but that isn't the only reason you should buy one. Software aside, the company's offerings are often very powerful, and best of all, upgradeable. Unlike Apple, for instance, you can actually service the RAM, SSD, and more -- they aren’t soldered in. Not to mention, System76's customer service and support is very well respected. If you want a laptop that is powerful without being overly thick, the Oryx Pro (available with either a 16.1-inch or 17.3-inch display) is a great balance. Now, System76 is making that computer even better… [Continue Reading]

  MS Word bug can be used to bypass security systems

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 5:09pm CET par Ian Barker

  Researchers at email and data security company Mimecast have uncovered a bug in Microsoft Word that can be used to bypass security systems. The bug incorrectly handles integer overflows and can be used to circumvent security systems and fool parsers to deliver remote code that can take complete control over a compromised machine. The problem has been reported to Microsoft which has acknowledged that it is unintended behavior. It has declined to release a security patch at this time though, as the issue on its own does not result in memory corruption or code execution. The problem may be fixed… [Continue Reading]

  Three trends in tracking software delivery

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 3:47pm CET par Dr. Mik Kersten

  Over the past decade, software has made giant leaps in allowing us to track, analyze and visualize the incredible amounts of data flowing across our organizations. Storage is rarely a bottleneck, advances in non-relational databases have helped capture growing volumes of data, and machine learning approaches promise to assist with deriving meaning and insight. Yet for the vast majority of large organizations, one kind of data seems immune to providing any kind of business intelligence -- the data for tracking software delivery itself. Even organizations building the data analysis tools are struggling to find meaningful insights from the many tools… [Continue Reading]

  Internet users are too confident they're protected

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 3:11pm CET par Ian Barker

  Given the number of high profile security breaches that make the headlines, you'd expect people to be wary about online security. But a new study by Malwarebytes Labs shows a mismatch between people's confidence in their own privacy and security practices and their actual behavior. Malwarebytes surveyed almost 4,000 people and finds that while data privacy was a top concern, with trust in companies to maintain it painfully low, users do not follow through with some of the more difficult and cumbersome cybersecurity best practices to keep their data safe. The company believes this gap between perception and reality to… [Continue Reading]

  Students aren't aware of cybersecurity career opportunities

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 1:37pm CET par Ian Barker

  It's well known that there is a skills shortage in cyber security, with a predicted global shortfall of 1.8 million cybersecurity professionals by 2022. But new research, commissioned by cybersecurity training organization the SANS Institute and conducted by respected research firm Vanson Bourne  polled 4000 students across the UK and EMEA and reveals a lack of awareness of careers in the sector. The study shows 84 percent of surveyed UK students have never considered a career in cyber security, compared to 50 percent of surveyed students in Saudi Arabia and 46 percent in the UAE. Germany leads the way cyber… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook is adding a Tributes section to memorialized accounts of deceased users

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 12:50pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

Facebook describes this as a "place for friends and family to gather and share memories after a person has passed away". Now the social network is rolling out a new feature for memorialized profiles: Tributes. This is essentially a new section that appears on the page of deceased users where friends and family can post new content about their loved ones.

  Attack traffic up 32 percent in 2018

  Publié: mars 5, 2019, 11:00am CET par Ian Barker

  Levels of attack traffic observed by F-Secure's network of decoy honeypots in 2018 increased by 32 percent over the previous year, and increased fourfold in the latter half of 2018 compared with the first half of the year. The report suggests that many companies may not have the visibility they need to catch attacks that make it past preventative measures like firewalls and endpoint protection. F-Secure's survey finds that 22 percent of companies didn't detect a single attack over a 12-month period. 20 percent of respondents detected just a single attack during that time frame, and 31 percent detected between… [Continue Reading]
