It’s hard to believe that smartphones have been with us for decades, yet we’re still finding new uses for them. As each new generation of hardware comes out, app developers stretch the frontiers of what it can do. Of course, it goes without saying that when apps catch on, their developers make a mint, and it could be easier than you think to join their ranks. If you’ve got an app idea, the next step is to learn the code, and that’s where the 2022 Google Flutter and Solidity Development Bundle can help....

Level on Friday officially announced the Level Lock+, only the second smart lock (that I know of) that supports the iPhone’s Home Key feature. The $320 Schlage Encode Plus is the other lock I can find that supports using your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock your front door, just as you would when making a mobile payment. The Level Lock+ has the same minimal design as the original Lock, and if you’ve also got an iPhone or Apple Watch, gaining entry into your home is as simple as buying something with Apple Pay....

Ever-toughening security guidelines are seeing employees skip multi-step login processes for easier workarounds, sharing logins, or giving up on workplace tasks altogether, researchers found. ‘Login Fatigue’ Hitting All Age Groups The study — conducted in June and released Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022 — showed that login fatigue is common in firms that employ stringent security guidelines. This is particularly true for larger organizations where more two-factor authentication, antivirus software, and VPN use are common....

Among other things, the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020 would allow government to provide “assistance” to entities in response to significant cyber attacks on Australian systems. This includes the proposal for software to be installed that is touted as aiding providers in dealing with threats. The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) on Thursday morning heard from four large technology firms who declared they did not need assistance from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) nor its Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and that the installation of software would do more harm than good....

The new ‘Find My network’ capabilities should come in handy in numerous scenarios, including when an iPhone has run low on battery power or a thief has turned the phone off. Currently, by enabling Find My network setting – an additional capability beyond Find My iPhone – users can locate an iPhone when it’s offline, as well as AirTags, but not when the iPhone is powered off. 9to5Mac has posted an image of the notification that tells users that the iPhone remains findable after power off or in power reserve mode....

Whether it’s a bar, the backseat of a cab, or elsewhere, forgotten pre-release units are a longstanding backbone of tech journalism. In that tradition, today we’ve got a prototype of Meta’s forthcoming Meta Quest Pro headset being shown off after apparently being forgotten in a hotel room by its tester. The leak comes via the Facebook page of Zectariuz Gaming, who recorded a video of himself removing the device from its packaging....

In Depth: These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers. Time is running out Successfully compromising and exploiting the right accounts can allow cyber criminals to gain access to the tools and privileges they need to encrypt a whole network of machines with ransomware in a short amount of time. Meanwhile, BEC attacks – email attacks where employees are tricked into making financial transfers under false pretexts – can also occur in a short amount of time....

Those figures come from analysis by Microsoft Security Intelligence, which notes that some of the most prominent ransomware attacks of recent times include Lockbit, BlackCat, Vice Society, and Royal. The attacks are also being helped along by how ransomware groups offer ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) schemes, enabling cyber criminals who don’t develop their own ransomware to get in on the action. Access to RaaS schemes is sold on underground forums, providing aspiring ransomware attackers with all the tools they need to conduct and manage attacks and extort ransom payments....

Microsoft’s Sylvie Liu said Azure worked with the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center to create Fusion detection for ransomware in a blog post. Microsoft’s Fusion technology uses machine learning to find potential attacks in progress and alert security teams. The system will send alerts when it sees ransomware activities at “defense evasion and execution stages during a specific timeframe.” Liu explained that the system would send messages like “Multiple alerts possibly related to Ransomware activity detected” in the Azure Sentinel workspace....

The Microsoft Security Program for Nonprofits has three different components, including free access to the AccountGuard program, free security assessments and free training pathways for IT administrators and end-users.

The backstory: In 2018, Microsoft launched the Office app for Windows 10 and, later, mobile devices. That app, which was the successor to the My Office app for Windows users, was designed to help users more quickly switch between the apps that constituted the Office suite and more easily find recently used documents. The Office app also is perfect for people like me: Those who find the full Office apps to be overkill for most tasks I want to do, but who still need to use certain Office features on occasion....

These service providers often have direct or privileged access to their customers’ IT systems. After compromising and impersonating a service provider, the hackers aim to exploit their customers’ networks. Nobelium is a Russian state-backed actor and a part of SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service. The group is responsible for a cyberattack on SolarWinds in 2020. According to Microsoft, the group has been very active this summer, as well. Between July 1 and October 19, the group targeted 609 Microsoft customers with a total of 22,868 attacks....
