Microsoft Warns of Hackers Targeting Azure Tags Customers

Admin20100465 views

Microsoft seems to have had a slight change of heart when it comes to the security risk its Azure Service Tags are posing.
While initially claiming the tool was never meant to be a security measure, the company is now warning users that there are scenarios in which Service Tags could be used to gain unauthorized access to cloud resources.
Microsoft did stress that such scenarios were not yet observed in the wild and that there is no evidence of abuse in the real world (yet).
Not a security boundaryEarlier in 2024, cybersecurity researchers from Tenable claimed Azure Service Tags were vulnerable to a flaw that could let threat actors steal people’s sensitive data. Service Tags is a feature that helps simplify network security management by allowing users to define network access controls based on logical groups of IP addresses rather than individual IP addresses. These service tags represent a group of IP address prefixes from specific Azure services, which can be used in security rule..

Admin20100208 views

As always, there have been a lot of announcements and product reveals at this year’s Computex, but it’s not just the big brands who have a presence at the show, there are plenty of smaller firms fighting for the world’s attention.
One of those is German PC maker Schenker, which showed off its prototype laptop powered by a Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite chip. While most people would expect Qualcomm’s latest processor to be used to exclusively power Windows systems, given the big push for Copilot+PCs, this developmental model runs Linux and looks destined to be sold by Tuxedo Computers.
The prototype notebook is housed in a premium all-aluminum body and weighs just 1.36kg. It’s powered by the Snapdragon X Elite which has 12 cores and a 20W TDP. The 14-inch 16:10 IPS display (2560 x 1600) offers 400 nits maximum brightness and 100% sRGB coverage.
Still some wrinkles to iron outThe Tuxedo prototype comes with 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and storage will be via a M.2-2280 Gen 4 slot. In terms ..

Admin20100372 views

In the ever-expanding cosmos of technology, the cloud offers near-infinite possibilities for growth and innovation. Recent research from Canalys projects a substantial 20% increase in cloud service spending over the next year, underscoring how pivotal it will be for modern businesses. However, venturing into the cloud without the right expertise can be as challenging as navigating the harsh void of space.
To be successful, it’s important organizations can understand and manage the complexities involved with cloud adoption. Enter Managed Cloud Service Providers (MCSPs). Employed correctly these should act as navigators, helping enterprises chart a course for success, ensuring they optimize and maximize the benefits of the cloud. The question is choosing the right partner.
Scott Anderson is VP of cloud, growth and business operations, at Couchbase.

How CISOs Can Drive Cybersecurity Accountability for Security Posture

Admin20100478 views

A decade ago, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role was simpler. Today, it’s transformed beyond recognition, shaped by the radical evolution of cybersecurity. While recent regulations like the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and new SEC rules, shifted accountability towards the board, if the worst happens the burden often lands on one person – the CISO.
This weight can’t entirely be shouldered by a ‘Chief Incident Scapegoat Officer’. Instead, CISOs need to drive accountability for security posture across the organization.
Security Product Expert at Panaseer.
Rising CISO StrugglesNew regulations such as DORA, SEC disclosure rules, and NIS 2 underscore board accountability for security risks. But despite this, CISOs are increasingly facing legal repercussions for breaching cybersecurity and privacy policies – including the recent charges made against the current SolarWinds CISO Timothy G. Brown.

Apple Health Study Reveals New Insights on Tinnitus

Admin20100336 views

Apple Hearing Study Reveals New Insights on TinnitusApple today shared an update on the Apple Hearing Study that reveals new insights into the hearing condition tinnitus.

In one of the largest surveys on tinnitus to date, researchers from the University of Michigan examined data from over 160,000 participants using Apple devices. Tinnitus, defined as the perception of sound without an external source, can manifest as ringing, buzzing, or other sounds and can impact quality of life by disrupting sleep, concentration, and clear hearing.

The study found that 77.6% of participants had experienced tinnitus at some point in their lives. The prevalence of daily tinnitus increased with age, with those aged 55 and older being three times more likely to experience it daily compared to younger participants aged 18-34. Male participants reported a slightly higher incidence of daily tinnitus, at 2.7% more than females, but a higher percentage of males stated they had never experienced tinnitus.
