Another study by Trend Micro, shows without surprise that 95% of Android
devices were affected by Stagefright in Q3 of this year. Stagefright, which allows
attackers to install malware on affected devices by distributing malicious
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages, reportedly put nine out of 10 at
risk. Another critical Mediaserver vulnerability, which could cause devices to
endlessly reboot and allow attackers to remotely run arbitrary code, was also
found.
Research reports show that cybercriminals have gone from targeted attacks to
traditional mass infection techniques such as spam, botnets, and exploit kits. While
bigger and better-secured organizations may experience breaches of their own if ever
attackers successfully manage to leech off data from their smaller, less-secure
partners, consumers may also find their personal information at risk if companies
continue to get breached due to this lateral progression of attacks.

Multi-Thread Concept!
The new-style skills and capabilities of agility, responsiveness, collaboration,
innovation, customer engagement and digital fluency must weave through all of
IT.
That way, those threads can be pulled into in any of ITs endeavors, with
minimum ramp-up.
This is what new age multi thread concept is!
Agile, collaborative, digitally innovative and customer-engaged governance,
development and implementation methods are the new backbone of IT
organizations.
Multi-Thread:
Bimodal is a refuge, a temporary relief, and a false hope for the leaders of IT orgs
that are failing to reinvent themselves as future-ready innovators and
transformers. There is no long-term reason to preserve and cling to the old ways.
In fact, doing so will be deadly for many CIOs.
The capabilities of agility, responsiveness, collaboration, innovation, customer
engagement and digital fluency must weave through all of IT and not be isolated
to some compartmentalized digital innovation team.
Is there a long-term future for IT staff who dont interact with business peers or
end customers? Who just manage projects with a service provider approach and
with little knowledge of the business goals their actions are presumably tied to?
Maybe, at some IT vendors code factory. But not at a business that must
transform to keep pace with customer expectationsthat is, your business and
mine.
Elderly Situation:
The United States senior population is growing quickly, and so is the need to
manage their care.
Most seniors want to remain at home rather than spend their final days in a
nursing home, which presents the seniors and those who care for them a thorny
problem.
ITICs:
The Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC) is a global lobby and policy group
that communicates the views of tech firms to politicians and legislative bodies.
Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung and many other computer industry firms are
all ITIC member.
ITICs Statement
But, said the ITIC, weakening encryption in a bid to help the "good guys" was a
mistake. Doing so "would actually create vulnerabilities to be exploited by the bad
guys", it warned. Such a move "would almost certainly cause serious physical and
financial harm across our society and our economy. Weakening security with the aim
of advancing security simply does not make sense," said the ITIC
If your organization is still using Windows 7, it might be time to make the move
to Windows 10.
New Gartner research data suggests 50% of all businesses will be making the
shift to Windows 10 by the start of 2017.
When users ask Siri, Apple's digital assistant, what she likes to drink, she says, "I have a thirst
for knowledge.
Her counterpart at Microsoft, Cortana, opts for avery, very dry martini.
But M, the digital assistant Facebook is testing, deflects the question. "I don't have an opinion
about that. What's your favorite drink?"
As the tech giants race to build better artificial intelligence platforms, they are obsessing over
the nuances of their digital assistants' personalities.
For users, digital assistants are a gateway to powerful artificial intelligence tools developers
expect to influence major decisions about what to buy and how to spend time.
The more tech companies can get users to rely on their digital assistants, the more valuable
data they will accumulate about the spending habits, interests and preferences of users.
The information could be fodder for lucrative digital advertising or a lever for companies to
keep users locked into their ecosystems.
