Coronavirus, remote working, and ransomware: The key cybersecurity challenges your organization is facing Watch Now Ransomware as a service is proving effective for cyber criminals who want a piece of the cyber-extortion action but without necessarily having the skills to develop their own malware, with two out of three attacks using this model. Ransomware attacks are still proving extremely lucrative, with the most well-organised gangs earning millions per victim , so many cyber criminals want to cash in – but don't have the ability to code and distribute their own campaigns.

LONDON: Google says it won't develop new ways to follow individual users across the internet after it phases out existing ad-tracking technology from its Chrome browser, a change that could shake up the online advertising industry. Google says it's taking the move to protect user privacy. It's part of a broader shift in the industry as marketers such as Apple and regulators in the U.K., US and elsewhere increasingly are seeking ways to phase out more egregious data collection practices. Still, there are concerns that it will add to the tech giant's already dominant power in online advertising. And the change won't affect Google's largest advertising moneymakers: Search and YouTube. "There's a growing idea that if you can't persuade consumers to part with their data willingly, you probably don't deserve it," said Brian Wieser, global president of business intelligence at media agency GroupM. "Consumers are more aware of their data being used unwittingly. Brands (thinking … [Read more...] about Google ends sale of ads using individual web tracking data

Tesla's quarterly report could trigger a $7 billion options payout to Chief Executive Elon Musk , while owners of the electric car maker's soaring stock are keen to hear the company's target for 2021 deliveries. Tesla posts its December quarter results following a nearly 700% surge in its stock over the past 12 months that has made it the fifth-most-valuable publicly traded U.S. company, eclipsing Facebook. Despite production that is a fraction of that of Toyota Motor Corp , Volkswagen or General Motors , Tesla has become by far the world's most valuable car maker, with a market capitalization of $843 billion, compared with Toyota's $236 billion. Its shares are trading at over 200 times the average analyst earnings forecast for the next year, according to Refinitiv, underpinning skeptics' arguments that Tesla's stock has become highly overvalued. After Tesla delivered just shy of a Musk-promised 500,000 electric vehicles last year, investors are focused on the Silicon … [Read more...] about Tesla’s quarterly report could trigger $7 billion payout to Elon Musk

An asteroid the size of the Eiffel Tower will zip past Earth Friday (March 5) and be out of our planetary neighborhood until 2029. The space rock, dubbed Apophis (an ancient Egyptian demon), was first spotted in 2004 and won't pose any danger to Earth during this week's flyby; it will travel past the planet at more than 40 times the distance from Earth to the moon . But scientists are using this week as a dress rehearsal for the asteroid's next pass, on April 13, 2029, when Apophis will get as close to Earth as some of the highest-orbit satellites. Related: Top 10 ways to destroy Earth "Apophis in 2029 is going to be a really incredible observing opportunity for us," Marina Brozović, a radar scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, told Live Science's sister site Space.com . "But before we get to 2029, we are preparing." A brief flyby Apophis is 1,120 feet (340-meter-wide) wide and made of rock, iron and nickel. It is probably shaped … [Read more...] about ‘Demon’ asteroid the size of the Eiffel Tower to zoom past Earth Friday
