  Personal data breaches and securing IoT devices

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 7:55pm CEST par Damon Culbert

  The Internet of Things (IoT) is taking the world by storm as interconnected devices fill workplaces and homes across the US. While the intention of these devices is always to make our lives easier, their ability to connect to the internet turns them into ticking time bombs, lying in wait until their weaknesses can be exploited by opportunistic hackers. Personal data breaches are skyrocketing in America, increasing by 60% in the last year and by 157 percent since 2015. As our interconnectivity grows, so do the opportunities that our technology will be hacked. Since every IoT device is connected to… [Continue Reading]

  Americans would rather get food poisoning on vacation than not have internet access

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 5:21pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I'm a big fan of raw clams and oysters on the half shell. For the most part, I have had a good experience eating them. True, eating raw mollusks is sort of like playing a game of Russian Roulette, but I have historically been very lucky. One time, however, I got violently sick -- the day before I was to take a plane from New York to Florida. Believe it or not, I still took the trip, but having intestinal distress when flying is absolutely horrid. Flight aside, I spent a good portion of my time in Florida in the… [Continue Reading]

  Free VPN apps pose a privacy risk on both Android and iOS

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 4:27pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Both Apple and Google are allowing numerous potentially unsafe free VPN apps to remain in their app stores, despite being aware of privacy risks according to research from Top10VPN.com. Among the string of serious privacy issues uncovered but not acted upon is the discovery that nearly 60 percent of the most popular free VPN apps are secretly Chinese-owned. The study examined the 30 apps making up the top 20 search results for 'VPN' across the two app stores, digging deep into their ownership, professionalism and policies. It finds 59 percent of apps have hidden Chinese ownership, despite the strict VPN… [Continue Reading]

  British Airways e-ticketing leaves passengers' sensitive data at risk

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 3:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Less than a year on from a breach which exposed the details of hundreds of thousands of customers, British Airways systems are still leaving passengers' personal information at risk. New research from mobile security provider Wandera has discovered an e-ticketing system vulnerability that leaves passengers' personally identifiable information (PII) exposed. Through unencrypted check-in links, which are distributed via email by British Airways, hackers intercepting link requests -- on a public Wi-Fi network for example -- are able to access passengers' booking references and surnames. Using these details, hackers are then able to steal even more information or even manipulate the… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft cancels major Super Duper Graphics Pack update for Minecraft

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 10:21am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  It is now two years since Microsoft announced the Super Duper Graphics Pack for Minecraft, a major upgrade and new look for the game, but now the update has been canceled. The company says that the "ambitious initiative" has "proved too technically demanding to implement as planned".  Performance is cited as a reason for ditching the update, but Microsoft promises that it will work on developing a new look for Minecraft in other ways.

  Publié: août 13, 2019, 9:32am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  A mere two years after acquiring it, Verizon is selling Tumblr. Full details of the deal have not yet been revealed, but the micro-blogging service is being bought by Automattic, the company behind WordPress. Tumblr came into the spotlight last year when it introduced a ban on all adult content, and anyone hoping for this to change is going to be disappointed. Automattic says the ban will remain in place.
