Ransomware variants are typically programs that aim to prevent users from accessing systems and any data stored on infected devices or networks. After locking victims out, files and drives will often be encrypted – and in some cases, backups, too – in order to extort a payment from the user. Today, well-known ransomware families include WannaCry, Cryptolocker, NotPetya, Gandcrab, and Locky. Ransomware now seems to make the headlines month-on-month. Recently, the cases of Colonial Pipeline and Kaseya highlighted just how disruptive a successful attack can be to a business, as well as its customers – and according to Cisco Talos, it’s likely to only become worse in the future....

I wanted to rebuild that charging station to be something truly usable. As the accompanying video shows, I took a prototype approach because I needed it quickly. My first thought was to build a whole new unit, build it out of wood, put it on wheels, maybe CNC some of it, build special custom drawers, all that kind of stuff. But that’s a three to six-month project, given the amount of time I have, and I wanted to build something in a week or two, spending 20 or 30 minutes a day....

Likewise, tapping your credit card’s cash advance limit is another way to make your car payment when money’s tight – but remember there’s no grace period for cash advances, so that balance starts accruing sky-high interest charges immediately. And these days, some services allow you to pay just about anything with a credit card, even your rent – for a fee, of course. So no, the question isn’t whether you can pay your car loan with a credit card....

Really bad. In fact, I’d put it up there as one of the worst releases. There were bugs galore, so much that they reflected badly on the iPhone 13, making my new smartphone feel rough, unfinished, and disappointing. Not a great start. But then came iOS 15.0.1, and this patched a whole lot of bugs. And what a difference that made. With one click of the upgrade button, a number of bugs were squashed within minutes, and I could once again unlock my iPhone using my Apple Watch when I was wearing a mask....

The UK’s Snooper’s Charter, the US National Security Agency (NSA)’s mass-surveillance activities and countries around the world – Turkey, China, and Iran, to name a few – have attempted to monitor and control our digital communication, which sometimes includes blocking Internet access. While the UK is debating which pornographic activities should be considered “non-conventional” and therefore should be censored, other countries such as China have taken a more direct approach to controlling the web through nationwide blockades and automatic Internet Service Provider (ISP) walls which prevent citizens from accessing specific websites and services....

Enterprise demand for new digital services, such as cloud computing, big data, and data centres were the biggest drivers that fuelled the Chinese telecom market, according to the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Revenue from these digital services grew 27.8% and accounted for 44.5% of the industry’s overall revenue growth, the ministry said. It added that the 8% year-on-year growth was higher than the 4.1% growth rate clocked in 2020....

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause an affected device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. “This vulnerability is due to improper validation of incoming UPnP traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted UPnP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code as the root user on the underlying operating system or cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition,” Cisco said in a statement....

As businesses increasingly shift their infrastructures, employees will likewise require a broader range of technical skills. SEE: Remote working jobs row shows how much tech has changed Milind Govekar, chief of research at Gartner, says one of the biggest changes in the workforce will come as organizations lean harder into automation – which he calls “the centrepiece” of cloud business strategies. “Automation changes the entire mindset of the IT organization, particularly the infrastructure and operations organization, where they need to stop being administrators and become programmers – completely different skillsets,” Govekar tells ZDNet....

Cloud infrastructure services include the provision of infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service, either on a dedicated hosted private infrastructure or shared infrastructure. These services continue to be in high demand this quarter, said Canalys: expenditure has grown $2.4 billion compared to the previous quarter, and almost $13 billion since the same period last year. This is largely due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced organizations to adopt new digital processes in order to ensure business continuity while employees and customers were locked down in their homes....

Given Apple’s obsession with streamlining and simplifying and removing ports, this makes perfect sense, and it was always a case of when, and not if. eSIM is the modern answer to the physical SIM card that needs to be slotted into a smartphone. Like most things, it offers advantages and disadvantages, but it’s clearly where we’re going in the future. A report is circulating that Apple will offer an eSIM only version of the iPhone 14 alongside an option for a version with a regular nano-SIM....

A Microsoft company spokesperson’s comment on the report about HoloLens 3, for what it’s worth: “Microsoft HoloLens remains a critical part of our plans for emerging categories like mixed reality and the metaverse. We remain committed to HoloLens and future HoloLens development.” Meanwhile, in Surface Duo land, Microsoft is scrambling to fix another product that hasn’t lived up to expectations. Yes, there are some who believe, as Microsoft officials seem to, that two phone screens connected with a hinge are better than one....
