Yesterday Apple updated its 12-inch MacBook with some refreshed internal components and new a rose gold color. We already heard you loud and clear when we asked if Apple should bring new color options with the iPhone 7, but should it also give its other products and accessories the rose gold, gold, space gray treatment? As a Mac Pro user, I was a bit disappointed but understanding that Apple didn’t have a blacked out keyboard and mouse (something like on its MacBook Pros) to go along with the new design back in 2013....
It’s looking increasingly likely that this year’s iPhone may adopt a predominantly glass design, with glass replacing aluminum for the rear casing. A report today suggests that Apple may also be switching back to a stainless steel frame, a design last seen in the iPhone 4 and 4S. What’s less clear is whether that means a return to the flat-sided design used in the iPhone 4 through to 5S, or a curved edge like the iPhone 6 onwards …...

In many ways, its global scale leaves it particularly vulnerable. Unlike financial institutions that have strict regulations and are accustomed to constantly implementing security measures, the entertainment industry tends to be more lax. Larger production houses in the US often deal with a myriad of vendors at once. These smaller companies usually don’t have the manpower or budget to deal with serious cybersecurity issues. Some, like special effects houses, are often based overseas, making monitoring and compliance even more difficult....

The repressed Peter is initially onboard with helping take down this sinful club, only to find himself drawn to Mistress Tanya Cheex - played by American Psycho screenwriter Guinevere Turner - and the lifestyle....
You know as well as I do that fighting robocalls is an uphill battle that gets more and more steep every year. Just look at the numbers. In 2018, Americans received over 25 billion robocalls. To put it another way, robocalls make up 50% of all phone calls made. The most surprising thing about that stats is that they’re NOT surprising at all, and that’s pretty sad. But there might be hope on the horizon, as phone carriers are starting to finally make real attempts at stopping them....

This article will provide a rundown of physical security for ICS/SCADA environments, including the importance of physical security for these systems, sources of regulatory guidance, goals of physical security and the important elements of the defense-in-depth solution to physical security....
Last week we heard that Sony was looking to sell its streaming TV service, PlayStation Vue. Now, shortly after that news, the company has announced that it will be permanently shutting down the service in January 2020 as the “highly competitive Pay TV industry, with expensive content and network deals, has been slower to change than we expected.” Sony said a highly competitive market and the desire to focus on its “core gaming business” led to the decision to shut down PlayStation Vue just after the new year....
