And above all, who is it for?</h1><div><b>We often hear about it in sponsored videos or the tips of the "French days", VPNs are popular. These private networks offer many useful features for those who want to use the Internet safely and without border restrictions.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>But concretely, what is a VPN? Let's go back to the fundamentals of these private networks: their usefulness, strengths and cost to explain the raison d'être of these remote servers intended to protect Internet users ...</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Who are these private networks for?</h2><div>To all those who wish to increase the security of their activities via the internet! Many individuals opt for a VPN to protect their personal information or to bypass geographic censorship. But professionals can also benefit from this technology, which guarantees the integrity of their corporate network as well as the protection of all sensitive data relating to the development of their activity.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZnaozLRuwqSe_TMuc7CJ51Tz43C_ZbEuBTYwQdJotiZaemHX7Id8OcSYDVhaz7seaTxscG1N8kPuTfEEph9wv-IXiabF8ztl6NqtZQ1kb6cbMPOMGrXmtfUmyIBbw_fMqne_H5qZLC9F/s1920/vpn-4255479_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZnaozLRuwqSe_TMuc7CJ51Tz43C_ZbEuBTYwQdJotiZaemHX7Id8OcSYDVhaz7seaTxscG1N8kPuTfEEph9wv-IXiabF8ztl6NqtZQ1kb6cbMPOMGrXmtfUmyIBbw_fMqne_H5qZLC9F/w640-h426/vpn-4255479_1920.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;The VPN abolishes borders and allows you to have access to Netflix, Disney +, HBO catalogs ... which become accessible ©&nbsp;<span face="&quot;Open Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #191b26; white-space: nowrap;">&nbsp;</span><a href="https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=4255479" style="color: #191b26; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px;">Pixabay</a><span face="&quot;Open Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #191b26; white-space: nowrap;">&nbsp;</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">Can a VPN improve the security of your computer?</h2><div>Yes ! Finally ... to be more precise, the VPN makes it possible to obtain an encrypted connection which offers a high level of confidentiality. Internet use then becomes untraceable, which reduces the risk of cybercrime as well as the theft of personal data (health information, bank details, etc.). By opting for a private network, your computer connects to a remote server which makes your online activities as well as your browsing history completely anonymous. This is a great way to guard against cyber attacks that do not abate.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.purevpn.com/order-now.php?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=7f3fa004" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_top"><img alt="" height="250" src="https://affiliates.purevpn.com/accounts/default1/6hb82wqa2l/7f3fa004.png" title="" width="250" /></a></div><div></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Is it possible to watch series that are only accessible from USA?</h2><div>This is one of the other advantages of the VPN: the abolition of borders to navigate on sites inaccessible from France. And of course, this also concerns streaming services which make it possible to discover new audio-visual content that cannot be found in French catalogs, for example. Netflix, Disney +, HBO ... So many services that are becoming accessible. In this case, all you have to do is choose the virtual location of the desired country when you connect with the VPN.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Is it paying? If so, is it expensive?</h2><div>There are free VPNs, but for these entry-level offers, the level of security or functionality remains moderate. However, purchasing a paid VPN is not overly expensive considering all the peace of mind and privacy that comes with using it. The loading speed as well as the number of available servers are also strengths of paid VPNs!</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.purevpn.com/order-now.php?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=7f3fa004" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="151" data-original-width="644" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJbtknapC5uuZHXJmPOxTf1Q2zNtjvhWwgfECnqxpFMwGoiaTvAGdd2D_n4iM5Hr_3lz8I4ucQ5SvmjhZKdlJaT3AUA6QpiR3xqJXnfhf-7mk9GclPDYW_xaaAvypqIodc6rl0UWikXOgH/w200-h47/get+PureVPN.png" width="200" /></a></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>For less than $ 12 per month, you can ensure a reliable and secure connection that will avoid many unpleasant surprises.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Is it complicated to install?</h2><div>You would think that, given its technical features, setting up the VPN would be complex, but no.

This is all the more important if you regularly connect to public wifi! For example, with a VPN like PureVPN on your phone, you can be well protected, no matter where you are. In fact, it is very easy to log into your PureVPN&nbsp;account and thus enjoy a fast connection to the nearest server.</div><div><br /> <div>Unlike private wifi accessible in private homes and protected by a password, public wifi is open to all users. Stations, airports, cafes and restaurants, shopping centers ..., wifi hotspots offer mobile users the possibility of surfing and using online services without digging into the data of their mobile plan.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.purevpn.com/order-now.php?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=7f3fa004" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="151" data-original-width="644" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJbtknapC5uuZHXJmPOxTf1Q2zNtjvhWwgfECnqxpFMwGoiaTvAGdd2D_n4iM5Hr_3lz8I4ucQ5SvmjhZKdlJaT3AUA6QpiR3xqJXnfhf-7mk9GclPDYW_xaaAvypqIodc6rl0UWikXOgH/w200-h47/get+PureVPN.png" width="200" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But wifi connections in public places are real Eldorado for hackers. Hacking attempts can intercept essential information (important emails, banking data, information about your health ...) or even spread malware on your devices. The use of an open network must therefore be done with caution but the most reasonable is to equip yourself with a VPN to fully secure your connection ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">What are other uses for a VPN when traveling?</h2><div><br /></div><div><div>Whether used on a smartphone or a computer, the VPN guarantees your anonymity on the Internet. The connection to the network becomes encrypted and it is then impossible to track your online activities.</div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Depending on the country you are traveling to, you will be able to bypass censorship to find media and sites that are usually inaccessible. VPNs are also useful for unblocking prohibited services. This is particularly the case for Instagram, Facebook and WhapsApp in China for example.</li><li>In some cases, using a VPN can also save some money! To buy your plane tickets or to pay your nights at the cheaper hotel, you can lure the sites by choosing another location, for example a country where the incomes are more modest. By modifying the IP address, you appear as a new customer each time you search, which prevents excessive price increases.</li><li>Another advantage is the possibility of circumventing geographical restrictions to discover cultural content that is not always available.</li></ul> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://www.purevpn.com/order-now.php?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=7f3fa004" target="_top"><img alt="" height="250" src="//affiliates.purevpn.com/accounts/default1/6hb82wqa2l/7f3fa004.png" title="" width="250" /></a> </div> <h2 style="text-align: left;">What about streaming services?</h2></div></div><div>In addition to online security, acquiring a VPN&nbsp; also allows you to watch a multitude of multimedia content without being subject to local restrictions. Thus, Netflix, Disney + or even Amazon Prime catalogs from all over the world can be viewed. Good news for those who like to continue a season in progress, discover new series during the holidays or watch content in English in case of homesickness!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.purevpn.com/order-now.php?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=7f3fa004" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="127" data-original-width="931" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIb070QxNZY6UX7pneF5EX_2hVfcevxMqioB2JSk1vCocCfiD4EZRilzQ-oZ2DHqxh5ZvCeMNpbf4w6cVD7kgy7XgD9cdBKJngo0coTMN7ToH878WYs8mPQv9cIP6FhIeVDTV9g1yKuc20/s320/I+want+to+get+PureVPN.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Inexpensive and very easy to use, VPNs are becoming essential for protecting your data and ensuring the security of your connection wherever you are and during your best trips.</div></div><div><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> <a href="https://www.purevpn.com/stream-sports/watch-football-online?aff=42054&amp;a_bid=07b3f0b0" target="_top"><img alt="" height="90" src="//affiliates.purevpn.com/accounts/default1/6hb82wqa2l/07b3f0b0.png" title="" width="728" /></a> </div>News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-91134219419380117832021-06-29T16:45:00.004-07:002021-07-02T10:26:08.583-07:00<h1 style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;The preliminary steps for hosting a website</h1><div><b>Choosing web hosting is not something to be taken lightly. Indispensable for putting a website online, a plethora of offers are available and choosing the one that meets our expectations is not child's play.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>You will first have to choose the hosting offer that corresponds to the Web project. And then determine the actual host. To do this, it is important to take into account several technical and commercial criteria to make the right choice.</div><div><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Finally, it is important then to choose a domain name which will be the address that will be typed in a Web browser to access the hosted site.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaXkwNu7e50CJ34P2rLxAJRRXku0NHctw2wbgjS5o5CHOeHSv_wNYzxcF91g93rNuLxYX9ysSYu5DgdOmsFuGRC4o5ALyr_qggXyai9LALUU_omk3QsrzW9c-EsnBQAlMMD_cePWL_Kwls/s1000/The+preliminary+steps+for+hosting+a+website.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaXkwNu7e50CJ34P2rLxAJRRXku0NHctw2wbgjS5o5CHOeHSv_wNYzxcF91g93rNuLxYX9ysSYu5DgdOmsFuGRC4o5ALyr_qggXyai9LALUU_omk3QsrzW9c-EsnBQAlMMD_cePWL_Kwls/w400-h265/The+preliminary+steps+for+hosting+a+website.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-size: x-small;">First step, study the web hosting offers and find the one that best suits your website project.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to choose the right hosting offer?</h2><div><div>There are two types of web hosting.</div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The first is the dedicated server. It allows you to have control over all the hosting parameters but has the disadvantage of being very complex to set up and maintain when you are new to the field. Having a dedicated server therefore requires a large budget for setting up and maintaining it. It is reserved for websites which require a substantial infrastructure and bandwidth.</li><li>The second is shared hosting. Much more affordable in terms of price, shared offers are those most commonly used to host small to medium-sized Web projects. They have the advantage of being directly usable and already configured. There are many offers on the market, as is the case for example for this web hosting Canada. The choice of a shared one is also relevant for a project which requires many simultaneous connections.</li></ul></div></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://www.bluehost.com/track/najibad/" target="_blank"> <img border="0" src="https://bluehost-cdn.com/media/partner/images/najibad/430x288/430x288BW.png" /> </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div> <div><div>Once the offer has been chosen, all you have to do is set up the website by uploading the files via FTP access. This makes it possible to make the site accessible to Internet users. If the site concerned uses a database, it will also have to be created directly at the host so that Internet users can access and interact with its data.</div><div><br /></div><div>As you will have understood, choosing a web host requires several stages of thought. You have to compare the offers to offer your future visitors a pleasant experience. Several criteria must be taken into account: price, bandwidth, number of databases or the possibility of being able to create your own email address.</div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-63088774250222869412021-06-06T14:53:00.002-07:002021-06-06T14:59:34.560-07:00<h1 style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;Android 12 intends to better protect your personal data</h1><div><b>Like Apple with iOS, Google is making Android more virtuous with respect to the protection of personal data. To do this, when it is released at the end of the year, Android 12 will have a switch to block all the data collected and the user's advertising identifier.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>In the wake of Google's I / O developer conference, the internet giant has just launched a support page showing users how to turn off personal data tracking by third-party sites and apps. This is one of the first signs of the Internet giant's efforts on the subject. With Android 12, Google intends to go further and Futura had already mentioned the presence of a button dedicated to disabling the sharing of the unique advertising identifier. It is the latter that allows advertising agencies to monitor your daily activities and identify you in order to adapt the advertisements to your centers of interest at the time. It is already possible to limit this collection or reset it, but with Android 12, the user will be able to simply disable it completely. Instead of the advertising identifier, advertisers will get a string of zeros.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>However, we should not believe that Google is throwing in the towel on the collection of navigation data. The firm's resources come in large part from its immense advertising network. To ensure data confidentiality but continue to target advertisements, Google has developed its FloC solution. Rather than individualizing data collection, the process consists of grouping users into cohorts based on their areas of interest.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">FloC to collect without identifying</h2><div>Instead of the famous cookies, to continue to allow advertisers to target their ads, Google, via Chrome, intends to create a profile of each user and will communicate to websites only the predefined group to which it can be classified according to its centers of interest. A process that Google is currently testing and which is currently causing the wrath of other web players. This is particularly the case of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) which totally rejects this principle, or Brave or Vivaldi browsers which intend to block this system, for example.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unlike iOS, for the moment Google is not announcing whether this blocking function will be activated by default on Android 12, nor whether it will be necessary to delve into the various sub-sections of the settings to disable data collection and the advertising identifier. . We will have to wait until the end of 2021 to find out with the deployment of version 12 of the mobile OS.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7V0jsCC32cidYK9UZ-WvMiCnEF7cgisXc8iwkm5e1Kr6OIWIEtFySHDSjrKZuNGhKJDvcJjT1EwqqD7RwrHFnuBvUw915XQVtwxay2hxtjr-1kccCll3SdDIYCQ0IXwkZdBfC6ClMW72/s205/ANDROID12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Android 12 intends to better protect your personal data" border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="205" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7V0jsCC32cidYK9UZ-WvMiCnEF7cgisXc8iwkm5e1Kr6OIWIEtFySHDSjrKZuNGhKJDvcJjT1EwqqD7RwrHFnuBvUw915XQVtwxay2hxtjr-1kccCll3SdDIYCQ0IXwkZdBfC6ClMW72/w342-h154/ANDROID12.jpg" title="Android 12 intends to better protect your personal data" width="342" /></a></div><br />News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-41163757947822944902021-05-17T01:43:00.004-07:002021-05-17T01:47:52.344-07:00<h1 style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;Twelve Wi-Fi breaches threaten every device in the world</h1><div><b>A researcher has discovered 12 vulnerabilities in the Wi-Fi protocol. Called FragAttacks, the threats resulting from these vulnerabilities make it possible to steal data or take control of devices, including connected objects. Some of these breaches have been present since the 1990s and concern all devices.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>The ubiquitous Wi-Fi is far from perfect when it comes to security. A researcher from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium (KU Leuven) has just detected no less than 12 faults affecting devices equipped with a Wi-Fi module. The attack methods relating to these faults have been grouped under the heading FragAttacks. With them, a nearby attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to steal data or take control of these devices. Through a Wi-Fi network, the researcher has thus managed to take control of a connected switch, as well as of a computer powered by Windows 7. In the latter case, the attacker can then launch an attack. from that PC with outdated system.</div><div><br /></div><div>It turns out that three of these flaws date from the beginnings of Wi-Fi and its security in the 1990s. This is particularly the case for WEP keys of the time, as well as for the latest protocols, such as WPA3. These are therefore design flaws and therefore affect virtually all devices.</div> <div align="center"> <script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!--ad unit 1--> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6510145662334812" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9617147090" data-full-width-responsive="true" style="display: block;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="321" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/88YZ4061tYw" width="550" youtube-src-id="88YZ4061tYw"></iframe></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>In this video, the Belgian researcher shows three methods of attacks via vulnerabilities discovered in Wi-Fi. © Mathy Vanhoef</span></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Three flaws corrected by Microsoft</h2><div>One of the flaws allows you to send code in clear text in a protected Wi-Fi network. Most devices accept plain texts without flinching because they look like messages to establish a link. From that point on, the hacker can intercept network traffic and trick their target into using a malicious DNS server to retrieve their credentials.</div><div><br /></div><div>The discovery dates back nine months. Since then, the Wi-Fi Alliance, which is the consortium responsible for certifying the standard, has been working with manufacturers of Wi-Fi modules to find a way to close the gaps. For its part, Microsoft corrected three of the vulnerabilities by distributing a patch from March 9. A patch related to the Linux kernel is also expected.

The firm promises almost doubled performance compared to current processors, or devices with a fourfold autonomy.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>IBM has just pushed back the limits of electronics by announcing an engraving process of unequaled finesse. Its new chips, engraved in just 2 nm, will be able to contain more transistors, which improves performance.</div><div><br /></div><div>This breakthrough is based on IBM's nanosheet technology, already used in its 5 nm process, as well as a GAA (Gate All Around) arrangement which places the gate all around the transistors. This allows it to reach a density of 333 million transistors per mm² (MTr / mm²), compared to 91 and 95 MTr / mm² for the 7 nm processors at TSMC and Samsung respectively, or 292 MTr / mm² for the all new 3 nm process at TSMC. Note that the next generation of Intel chips engraved at 7 nm should still reach 237 MTr / mm², which shows that it is not only the fineness of the engraving that determines the density of the transistors.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="317" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HD5KbeR5mtc" width="627" youtube-src-id="HD5KbeR5mtc"></iframe></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Electricity consumption divided by four</h2><div>These new chips would present considerable gains compared to those currently on the market, mainly engraved in 7 nm. For intensive tasks, they would allow 45% more performance. Conversely, for devices whose priority is autonomy, they allow electricity consumption to be reduced by 75% for the same performance.</div><div><br /></div> <div align="center"> <script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!--ad unit 1--> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6510145662334812" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9617147090" data-full-width-responsive="true" style="display: block;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <div>Note, however, that this is a simple prototype.

This Anglicism means "phishing" and is characterized by the use of the image of a real company and its name. The phishing emails contain visuals that look like the company's official website and play on an emergency effect in order to extract personal information from us such as a password or worse, a number. bank card. Fortunately, there are tips and solutions to tackle phishing effectively and sustainably. We will develop several of them in this article.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>The majority of phishing attacks use the image of banks but not only, they can also target your personal information by pretending to be Ebay, Facebook or even Twitter.</div><div><br /></div><div>A common indicator of phishing attempts is spelling. When you sift through hundreds of emails like this, you quickly notice one thing in common: the spelling is terrible.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">What to do on a daily basis ?</h2><div><div>The best way to prevent phishing is to systematically ignore all emails that ask you for confidential information. If you have any doubts, contact the company in question directly to find out.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is common for these emails to contain an attachment. Above all, do not open it! Especially if it is a PDF, an Excel file or even a Word.</div><div><br /></div><div>Check the security of the sites. From the moment you are asked for confidential information and more particularly banking information, you must absolutely verify that the site address is secure. This is identified by the beginning of the site address which must begin with "https" and be preceded by a closed green padlock. You can click this padlock to get more information and find out if the connection is risky or not.</div></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBw94EksboN3floG9O24hMqQbPcV2RSAxkVOPx79Hwhadcl5hkNrqd5OZ0ra7sywP2foimaQVVowOY31xC2Ao8cW66zE2fIwv4WRA27AYfCQgeANtyd9_VU8v8PmHQ6ukpFyLdpL5tojbY/s1024/phishing.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="How to fight phishing ?" border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBw94EksboN3floG9O24hMqQbPcV2RSAxkVOPx79Hwhadcl5hkNrqd5OZ0ra7sywP2foimaQVVowOY31xC2Ao8cW66zE2fIwv4WRA27AYfCQgeANtyd9_VU8v8PmHQ6ukpFyLdpL5tojbY/w400-h266/phishing.jpg" title="How to fight phishing ?" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Phishing is a form of Internet scam.

Thanks to state-of-the-art techniques (DNS registration, automatic whitelist or even Bayesian method) fraudulent emails are detected upstream. This exclusive technique brings several beneficial effects: it alleviates the use of bandwidth, it de-clutters mailboxes and above all it eliminates the vast majority of spam.</div><div><br /></div><div>These solutions are generally easily and transparently integrated.

It is therefore useful to have a private email address that is difficult to guess. Your private address shouldn't be just your first and last name.</div><div><br /></div><div>Never publish your private address in a resource that can be accessed directly online.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are forced to show it on a web page, try to hide it to be able to prevent spammers from picking it up automatically. For example, if your email is jean.dupont@gmail.com, write jean-point-dupont-arobaz-gmail-point-com instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>If your private email address is still found by spammers, don't hesitate to change it. Even if it is quite restrictive, you must do it to avoid falling victim to a phishing attempt by email.</div></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-88847069617560339202021-03-13T16:48:00.004-08:002021-05-05T17:03:47.182-07:00<h1 style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;Too many passwords easy to hack in business!</h1><div style="text-align: left;"><b>People are usually laughed at for using very simple passwords.

As proof, the enormous wave of cyberattacks of December 2020 against SolarWinds which would have been caused by the use of a "solarwinds123" password. Orion editor is not the only one to use weak passwords, as the study of Nordpass demonstrates.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Based on more than 15 million breaches that have affected Fortune Global 500 companies, this survey clearly shows that mistakes are as glaring in the business world as anyone's. We thus discover that the most used passwords are "password", "123456", "Hello123" or "sunshine". These are short, non-complex passwords that are common to dozens of companies.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GyAKaP2Jha8_Er5S1Hy1ljk8nNMTl7gaz_JoIkoX6qX5YHTwEuZptMMP1QEa23OWkApCwdLQRvIlCpQoDJtLe5jbotWWrnmwFch6sKJ4CB47iIxprAaonaWAI7M2uvzH22p6mgFB0loz/s599/pwd.PNG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Too many passwords easy to hack in business" border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="599" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GyAKaP2Jha8_Er5S1Hy1ljk8nNMTl7gaz_JoIkoX6qX5YHTwEuZptMMP1QEa23OWkApCwdLQRvIlCpQoDJtLe5jbotWWrnmwFch6sKJ4CB47iIxprAaonaWAI7M2uvzH22p6mgFB0loz/w400-h260/pwd.PNG" title="Too many passwords easy to hack in business" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Too many passwords easy to hack in business</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Company name as password ...</h2><p style="text-align: left;">For this study, the researchers then divided the companies by sector of activity, and we thus discovered that one of the most used passwords in the health sector is “vacation”. In the hotel industry, the name of the establishment is most often used, and it is obviously very easy to find for a hacker. Nordpass notes that 20% of passwords include the name of the company.</p> <div align="center"> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- ad unit 1 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6510145662334812" data-ad-slot="9617147090" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <p style="text-align: left;">Another major concern is the use of a single password for the entire company.

Targeted websites go up in Google results for some very specific terms. It is from this moment that cyberattackers carry out their email campaign. The post associates links with Google's search results for the term they are working on SEO.

This process allows cybercriminals to bypass phishing detection systems. However, as soon as the user clicks on the link, it is automatically redirected to the trap. Finally, the third threat remains more classic, but formidable in effectiveness. Instead of copying the credible elements which constitute a real site, the attackers have developed a system which comes directly to recover all the real elements of the site and displays them on the trapped page. For the victim, there is no difference between the real site and that of the scammers.

This is the name of this application for Android and iOS which uses the accelerometer present in smartphones to detect movements of the earth.</b></div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> Natural disasters not only cause significant damage, but they still result in the loss of many human lives today. Often the number of victims is greatly reduced if the population is warned in time. This is the case with earthquakes, and some countries, such as South Korea, Mexico, Japan and Taiwan, have already set up seismograph networks and an alert system that warns the population before the start of the earthquake. However, current systems are limited and expensive to set up.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> A group of researchers from the University of California at Berkeley came up with an idea to create a system at a lower cost. Rather than deploying expensive equipment, they decided to take advantage of a technology that already covers the whole territory: <a href="https://newstechnotechno.blogspot.com/2019/10/smartphone.html">smartphones</a>.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y1p0pFFbH8M/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y1p0pFFbH8M?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">Free, the application works in the background and records earth shakes day and night. © UC Berkeley</span></div> <h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Soon to be integrated directly into iOS or Android?</h3> <div> Researchers have released an app called MyShake, which works on iOS and <a href="https://newstechnotechno.blogspot.com/2019/10/android.html">Android </a>and uses the accelerometer on mobile devices to detect earthquakes. Thanks to a study on 100 volunteers, they learned to differentiate the movements due to normal use of the tremors of an earthquake. The application can detect an earthquake of magnitude 4.5 or more, in which case it sends an alert.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Of course, an alert from a single device does not allow an earthquake to be concluded. However, in 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 was detected by more than 200 smartphones. To date, more than 320,000 people have installed the app worldwide. Researchers imagine integrating technology into a popular application or directly into the mobile operating system to quickly create a global network capable of detecting earthquakes and sending an alert wherever humans are present.</div> <div> <br /></div> News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-71911616330079390992019-12-15T05:28:00.001-08:002019-12-15T05:31:35.317-08:00<h2 style="text-align: center;"> Android adds two protection functions for SMS</h2> <div> <b>After cleaning our emails from spam and other advertising messages, Google attacks SMS with two functions integrated into its Messages application</b></div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> Just as there are spam filters for email, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_672131174"></span>Android<span id="goog_672131175"></span></a> has decided to better protect your SMS messaging.

Just like on Twitter, the organization or company that sends you a message will have a "badge" synonymous with an authenticated sender. There will be its logo, and it is especially very reassuring when it comes to validating a bank transaction, confirming an appointment or activating a service. This option, called Verified SMS, implies that the company or service concerned subscribes to this device. The good news is that France is one of the nine countries that will benefit from this innovation.</div> <h3> No data stored online</h3> <div> Then there is protection against spam, and we must recognize that there are more and more of them. Without us knowing how they got our contact details, we start to receive unsolicited SMS, and Android has decided to add a filter that must be activated. By default, Google treats your contact list as a "white list" and scans messages from an unknown sender.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> As in Gmail, a message warns you when an SMS seems questionable. If so, you validate it. Otherwise, you indicate that it is a safe number. And if the filter lets spam pass, the user can report it and the number in question will enter Google's "black list", then all future messages will be blocked.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Google specifies that the data present in the messages is temporarily stored, and that it does not keep traces of the exchanges.</div> News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064380323050151356.post-49880793400998325192019-12-10T00:30:00.000-08:002019-12-10T00:30:00.282-08:00<h2 style="text-align: center;"> Funny tech: the return of the wheel at Apple, an Escobar smartphone and a rolling Kalash</h2> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>Escobar and Kalashnikov are infamous names, but they can also invite themselves in the unusual news.

Especially when she decides to combine a legendary model with a highly anticipated technology, the folding screen. Announced for Christmas, the new Razr will finally arrive in January. After several weeks, Motorola has finally formalized the arrival and we discover the design and configuration.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Clearly, the US manufacturer has taken the same design as its flagship model, except that the keyboard leaves room for the second part of the screen. Unlike Huawei with the Mate X and Samsung with its Fold, Motorola is not trying to create an XXL poster surface but to play on the compactness of his phone. Exactly as in the 90s and 2000s with these clamshell models. Folded, it is only 11 mm thick and about 2.7" wide and 3.5"long. It will not deform the pockets. Moreover, when unfolded, it is as big as a current phone with&nbsp;6.7" in height.</div> <div> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7I_bjKJqgK0WlmJb6HaPHiQOg0CknW2ZWfsmRYs8t78lfqx1rZn9-Pm6thDBnC-n9Uebr-M0vK_kn8fwghqXkJq2VeM463iwB06g_nJ4K5iLjwNqrd_abGxoQ4efDjjOD2_FV99Iw290/s1600/motorola-razr-combo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7I_bjKJqgK0WlmJb6HaPHiQOg0CknW2ZWfsmRYs8t78lfqx1rZn9-Pm6thDBnC-n9Uebr-M0vK_kn8fwghqXkJq2VeM463iwB06g_nJ4K5iLjwNqrd_abGxoQ4efDjjOD2_FV99Iw290/s640/motorola-razr-combo.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The highlight of the smartphone, its design and finish. © Motorola</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> <br /></div> <h3> Mid-range equipment</h3> <div> And if you do not want to open it, Motorola has thought of adding a small screen on the hull. This allows to display information like SMS and email notifications, time and weather. For the rest, we see that it will run on Android 9, and that the base version will be equipped with a midrange processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 710, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. This is not exceptional but it should be enough to enjoy the device.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Side photo, a single sensor of 16 megapixels on the hull, and another for selfies of 5 megapixels. We will wait to test it for confirmation, but it may discourage some while the competition focuses mainly on the photo. It will also be necessary to see if the device is simple to trigger with the closed telephone, or if this aspect is binding. Clearly, the ergonomics will be taken into account when testing.</div> <h3> The availability of Razr will be limited</h3> <div> For the rest, there is a fingerprint reader, a 15 W fast charger, Bluetooth and NFC chips for contactless payment and connection with connected objects, or an eSIM card, a sort of virtual SIM card, directly soldered into the phone. Which means that in France, its operation will be limited to Orange, the only compatible operator ...</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Another downside, the price since we are talking about 1,500 dollars! This is the price for a foldable screen smartphone and it will be a serious drag on the purchase. Especially if the competition, Samsung in particular, plans to launch a flapper model with a richer equipment at a cheaper price.

This one, designed to be rather mid-range, sports a 6.3-inch IPS LCD Full HD + screen (2.340 x 1.080 pixels) with a drop-shaped notch that houses a 13-megapixel selfie camera . It ships a SoC Snapdragon 665, supported by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable through a microSD slot. It has a battery of 4000 mAh with a fast charge of 18W, as well as a mini-jack 3.5mm.<br /> <br /> At the back is a quadruple photo module. First a 48-megapixel main module, which works by default in pixel binning mode, for 12-megapixel shots. It comes with an ultra-wide 8 megapixel module, a 2 megapixel depth sensor and a 2 megapixel macro module.

The problem is that to ensure longer-term storage, the film industry converts digital works to analog format and then divides the image into the three primary colors that are then used to create three black and white filmstrips. more durable than color films whose pigments degrade too quickly.</div> <div> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_s0vQkLJb7oPYQHcvcMO1BilS9dKKJLKmqrQZf43IjUwqNnETKBpiVMoCoZuSDpnksRBn4U_ye8qsUuMPYfgHJBse2B1LTuf20lQd3JOY7OdfxVaBk2gvqpMFcwjDqnMYtGnMFKRuA5zH/s1600/ignite-project-silica-superman-james-clegg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Project Silica: storing data on glass according to Microsoft" border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_s0vQkLJb7oPYQHcvcMO1BilS9dKKJLKmqrQZf43IjUwqNnETKBpiVMoCoZuSDpnksRBn4U_ye8qsUuMPYfgHJBse2B1LTuf20lQd3JOY7OdfxVaBk2gvqpMFcwjDqnMYtGnMFKRuA5zH/s400/ignite-project-silica-superman-james-clegg.jpg" title="Project Silica: storing data on glass according to Microsoft" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A Microsoft optical scientist is loading a piece of glass into a system using optics and artificial intelligence to extract and read data stored on glass. © Jonathan Banks, Microsoft.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <h3> Current storage technologies too ephemeral</h3> <div> Microsoft predicts that the mass of data stored online will reach 100 zettabytes, or 100 billion terabytes, in 2023. Current storage media offer only limited storage time, and today's industry is managing this massive amount of data. regularly renewing the media used. Hard drives can fail in three to five years, while magnetic tapes used for computer archives offer only five to seven years of durability. Warner Bros., who owns the Superman movie rights, creates copies of his archives every three years to avoid problems.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Microsoft has decided to change the technique. Rather than working on current technologies in an attempt to make them more sustainable, the firm chose to start from a promising material and develop a new storage technology. With Project Silica, the firm opted for a quartz glass support. The project has just reached a new milestone by recording a complete film, 75.6 GB of data, on a glass plate 75 mm wide and 2 mm thick.</div> <div> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTNgt0Cc8GGm_8Iql0na3XclDbERnC6wh0wcr2DT4oDR8AKvdB6Mc37gLxttwCUjtELEBlbW57k4n0zFdMBOoNIuftA6WbHAtmO730iYU7C-8pRNPDowTtAyZdpkpOicZ3q_-shGJJyXIk/s1600/project-silica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Project Silica: storing data on glass according to Microsoft" border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTNgt0Cc8GGm_8Iql0na3XclDbERnC6wh0wcr2DT4oDR8AKvdB6Mc37gLxttwCUjtELEBlbW57k4n0zFdMBOoNIuftA6WbHAtmO730iYU7C-8pRNPDowTtAyZdpkpOicZ3q_-shGJJyXIk/s400/project-silica.jpg" title="Project Silica: storing data on glass according to Microsoft" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cooked, boiled, washed, demagnetized, brushed with glass wool ... enough to demonstrate the strength and durability of Project Silica. © Jonathan Banks, Microsoft.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> <br /></div> <h3> A technology to archive data for centuries</h3> <div> This technology works with three-dimensional pixels, called voxels.

Here it is for the very first time in action.</b></div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> Being able to discover a supercar still under development is already very rare, but taking a ride at its wheel is downright exceptional. This is the privilege of Alex Hirschi, aka "Supercar Blondie". This Australian youtubeuse who travels the world to try exceptional cars had access to a prototype of the Audi AI: Race, the future electric supercar of the German brand. A jewel of technology and design that will be manufactured only 50 copies.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Let's start with the technical sheet that already sets the scene. The Audi AI: Race is equipped with three electric motors, one on the front axle, two at the rear, which deliver 500 kW for a torque of 830 Nm. The manufacturer promises an acceleration from 0 to 100 mph in one little more than 2 seconds. Peak speed level, we are told a "small" 185 mph. The 95 kWh solid state battery can provide up to 310 miles of battery life (WLTP cycle) and fully recharge in 15 minutes on an 800-volt station, like the Taycan Porsche.&nbsp;</div> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0irtVnabSJA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0irtVnabSJA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> A guided tour of the Audi.

Impressive? © Audi</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> <br /></div> <div> But it is the cockpit that is undoubtedly the most impressive. When the door opens, we discover a monocoque in central position that integrates the bucket seat, the steering wheel and the dashboard. Mounted on a motorized rail, the assembly moves laterally to meet the driver. Once it is installed, the monohull slides towards the center of the cockpit. If necessary, the configuration can evolve in left-hand drive to leave space for a passenger. Installed in a very low position, the pilot can see the road through the windshield that plunges under the front hood which is itself perforated. A transparent Oled screen positioned in the axis of vision will display in real time the ideal trajectory to follow when one is on circuit. In short, a beautiful techno toy for a few privileged portfolio well stocked. The date of marketing of the Audi AI: Race is not yet known.</div> News Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04299695085312678983noreply@blogger.com0
