  Avoid chaos at scale: How to prevent your robots from running amok

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 10:25pm CEST par Bryant Bell

  Although robotic process automation (RPA) is at the heart of many digital transformation efforts, it’s all too common for organizations to roll out their software robots in a piecemeal fashion. For example, finance deploys its own set of bots, while manufacturing rolls out another, without coordination between the departments. This decentralized approach presents a risk -- one that leads to problems later. For instance, automated processes often require robots to interact with each other and access or disseminate data, which means they’re often dependent on related systems and policies. But what happens when one of those policies change or a… [Continue Reading]

  66 percent of SMBs don't believe they’re vulnerable to a cyberattack

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 3:54pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Most small and medium businesses are seriously underestimating their vulnerability to cyberattacks according to a new study. The report from password manager company Keeper Security shows that 66 percent don't think they will fall victim to an attack. But this confidence is contradicted by a study last year that showed 67 percent of SMBs had been attacked in the past year. The latest study finds that only about one in ten (12 percent) understand the reality that an attack is very likely, no matter how big or small the company. Interestingly, newer companies are likely to have greater awareness of… [Continue Reading]

  Banking malware grows as cryptominers decline

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 3:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The latest mid-year Cyber Attack Trends Report from Check Point shows mobile banking malware attacks are up 50 percent compared to the first half of 2018, while the number of organizations hit by cryptominers is down to 26 percent, from 41 percent last year. Among the top banking malware variants are Ramnit (28 percent), a Trojan that steals banking credentials, FTP passwords, session cookies and personal data; Trickbot (21 percent), which first emerged in October 2016; and Ursnif (10 percent) a Trojan that targets the Windows platform. Other shifts in the threat landscape include increased focus on supply chain attacks… [Continue Reading]

  Harvard, Puerto Rico and the myth of Internet privacy

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 12:48pm CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  "Stupid! You’re so stupid!" That iconic line from the Weird Al Yankovic’s seminal 1989 work, "UHF" (watch the "Wheel of Fish" segment and try not to snort your coffee), is what pops into my mind every time I read about some high profile individual getting outed for saying dumb things in "private" on the Internet. First off, the belief that anything could remain private on the net is just foolish. Whether you’re an aspiring Harvard freshman who gets his admission rescinded for saying racist things in a closed chat room, or the Governor of Puerto Rico being forced to step… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung's Galaxy Fold is surprisingly still coming to market -- after some fixes

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 12:08pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Folding smartphones are probably still the future, despite Samsung's epic fail with the Galaxy Fold. It's hard to fault the company for being overly ambitious -- we need the envelope to be pushed for true innovation to come to market -- but clearly, it was not ready for prime time. As reviewers who got an early look quickly found out, Galaxy Fold was ridiculously fragile, and what looked like a screen protector actually wasn't -- peeling it off destroyed the damn thing. After all the bad press, I actually assumed the Galaxy Fold would be canceled entirely. It would make sense to… [Continue Reading]

  IT professionals under pressure from email attacks

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 11:53am CEST par Ian Barker

  Email attacks are causing major problems for IT professionals, with over a third (38 percent) blaming them for increased stress at work. A survey of 660 IT professionals by Barracuda Networks reveals that 38 percent also admit to worrying about email attacks outside of work hours and 16 percent have canceled personal plans due to email attacks. These attacks cause problems for productivity too. Those in EMEA countries flag the most emails as suspicious, but 44 percent of respondents agree that less than 10 percent turn out to actually be fraudulent. Among respondents 81 percent spend 30 minutes or more… [Continue Reading]

  Alleged critical VLC flaw is nothing to worry about -- and is nothing to do with VLC

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 11:32am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  There has been a degree of confusion over the last few days after news spread of a supposed vulnerability in the media player VLC. Despite being labelled by security experts as "critical", VLC's developers, VideoLAN, denied there was a problem at all. And they were right. While there is a vulnerability, it was in a third-party library, not VLC itself. On top of this, it is nowhere near as severe as first suggested. Oh -- and it was fixed over a year ago. An older version of Ubuntu Linux was to blame for the confusion. See also: 'Critical' vulnerability discovered… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft reveals what you need to do if you have rogue Windows 10 Build 18947

  Publié: juillet 25, 2019, 9:14am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Yesterday, Microsoft accidentally released Build 18947 to all Windows Insiders. The build wasn’t intended for a wide release, and today the software giant reveals how it came to be released, and more importantly, what you need to do to avoid installing it. If you have already installed the build, with its new ugly Start menu, you can easily remove it. The first step is to check to see if you’re running Build 18947. In the Windows search box, type winver and hit enter. In the box that opens check the build number there. If you do have it, follow these… [Continue Reading]
