HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is available now, while HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager will be available in December, and HP Cloud Endpoint Manager will be rolled out in January. The tools, according to HP, were created with hybrid work in mind. Employee device management has become exponentially more difficult since remote work was embraced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “HP is helping customers take advantage of true enterprise mobility by removing barriers to cloud management adoption,” said Nicole Dezen, vice president of device partner sales at Microsoft....

Enter the MateBook 16s – successor to the AMD-based MateBook 16, which earlier this year we judged ‘could be a real winner’ with a better webcam. This comment was aimed at Huawei’s notoriously quirky camera that popped up from a key in the Fn row, giving an unflattering ‘up the nose’ viewing angle during video calls. That’s fixed in the new model, which is based on 12th-generation H-series Intel Core processors and features a 2....

Labelled as the “first joint product of the two enterprises”, the electric vehicle will have level 4 autonomy and “exciting new energy capabilities”. While GAC will be providing the chassis, Huawei will be bringing the computing and communication aspects, with the pair planning “eight models and multiple series” of electric vehicles. In June, GAC, Huawei, and Didi said they would be “pooling resources, data, and scientific research”. “One exciting project that GAC is working towards in cooperation with Huawei and Didi is ‘Level 4’ autonomous vehicles, which can operate almost entirely without input from humans (current driver-assist mechanisms are classed as Level 2 autonomy),” the trio said at the time....

A survey of 778 cloud professionals by O’Reilly found that demand for cloud professionals rose 4.3% during the past 12 months, pushing the average yearly salary to $182,000. The survey also discovered that hybrid work was associated with higher overall salaries – the average reported salary for hybrid staff was $188,000, while full-time remote workers made $184,000. Professionals who work in the office full-time, meanwhile, reported the lowest average salary at $131,000....

At last it can stick it to companies that, once upon a time, laughed in its face. Like Google, Apple, and, well, Nokia. Also: One million people have joined the waitlist for Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has leaped on the latest tech wizardry – or, perhaps, the latest wildly imperfect tech nonsense to enchant simple minds – and brought it to Microsoft’s red-headed stepchild, Bing. Yes, new, improved Bing....

The professionally crafted email attack includes a socially engineered payload in the form of a malicious email link that, once clicked, takes the victim to a fraudulent Instagram account verification page with the end goal of credential theft. What is Inside the Scam Email? The quality of the phishing email attack is “spot on” because the malicious link inside it leads to a very well-crafted “spoofed” website, with all the bells and whistles necessary to dupe users into trusting the process, Armorblox said....

NetBlocks, an organization tracking internet access worldwide, said the internet was restored in Yemen after a four-day nationwide outage. At about 1am local time on Friday, Yemen suffered a total internet blackout due to airstrikes on a telecommunications hub in the port city of Al Hodeida. Some online shared photos of a telecommunications building damaged by bombs. The Associated Press eventually confirmed that the attack on the telecommunications hub in Al Hodeida was part of a larger aerial assault on Yemen’s Houthi rebels by a Saudi-led coalition....

But before you get sucked into buying because the deal is 50% claimed, have you wondered if that deal you’re getting is actually a good deal? In the end, it’s our hard-earned money we’re using to buy something, so it’s always a good idea to check that we’re actually getting a good price. Also: Gen Z loves Walmart far more than Apple. Well, how about that? To spot fake reviews, check when there are too many similar ones written within a day or a few days of each other, or if they have similar pictures....

However, since the content is curated by an algorithm, there’s the risk of inappropriate content such as violence and nudity slipping through to kids, which can have serious consequences. This raises the question: is YouTube Kids safe for children? On the whole, yes, it is relatively safe. But you should make use of the parental controls to enhance your children’s experience of the app. The main parental controls include the ability to:...

“As an industry, and as a government, we need to acknowledge this is not a fad. We should tread cautiously, but not fearfully,” Hume said on Monday morning. “If the last 20 or 30 years have taught us anything, it’s that all innovation begins as disruption and ends as a household name. Decentralised finance underpinned by blockchain technology will present incredible opportunities ‑- Australia mustn’t be left behind by fear of the unknown....

On Tuesday, cybersecurity researchers from Zscaler’s ThreatLabz said that a total of 11 apps were recently discovered and found to be “regularly uploaded” to the official app repository, accounting for approximately 30,000 installs between them. The Joker malware family is a well-known variant that focuses on compromising Android devices. Joker is designed to spy on its victims, steal information, harvest contact lists, and monitor SMS messaging. When malicious apps containing Joker land on a handset, they may be used to conduct financial fraud, such as by covertly sending text messages to premium numbers or by signing up victims to wireless application protocol (WAP) services, earning their operators a slice of the proceeds....

Apple’s Universal Clipboard can be used by people who have more than one Apple device. They can copy a text, image, photo or video to the clipboard and then paste that content on another device. The clipboard can contain sensitive information, since people save a lot of details about their lives on their devices....

Even though VMware released a patch in December and has published extensive guidance on how to mitigate the issue, many implementations remain unpatched. Tony Lee, vice president of global services technical operations at BlackBerry, told ZDNet that his team has found evidence correlating attacks from Prophet Spider with the exploitation of the Log4J vulnerability in VMware Horizon. “When an access broker group takes interest in a vulnerability whose scope is so unknown, it’s a good indication that attackers see significant value in its exploitation,” Lee said....

APT35 is one of several state-backed hacking groups known to have been developing tools to exploit public-facing Java applications that use vulnerable versions of the Log4j error-logging component. Microsoft, which tracks the group as Phosphorous and has called it out for increasingly using ransomware in attacks, found it had operationalized a Log4j exploit for future campaigns less than a week after Log4Shell’s December 9 disclosure. SEE: Log4j zero-day flaw: What you need to know and how to protect yourself According to a further analysis by Check Point, APT35’s Log4j work was sloppy and “obviously rushed”, using a basic publicly available JNDI exploit kit (now removed from GitHub) for attacks that were easy to detect and attribute....
