The news was confirmed by cybersecurity company Proofpoint, which was involved in analyzing and identifying the perpetrators alongside the FBI and Google. The network, called 3ve (pronounced ‘eve’), used almost two million hijacked devices to generate fake clicks on advertising. The group was responsible for Kovter, an ad fraud malware that generated fake ad views and clicks. It was also responsible for the malvertising attack against PornHub, which launch a VPN service since then, last year. “I

On December 1, science and art are to come together yet again as Elon Musk, the founder of space exploration company SpaceX, prepares to send a sculpture by American artist Trevor Paglen into space. Named ‘Orbital Reflector’, the artwork is to be launched on the SpaceX Falcon 9 from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara county, California. The fields of art and science have enjoyed a closely intertwined relationship for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, from the detailed skeletal il

The newly designed crossover includes new tech called Evasive Steer Assist (ESA) and another one called Auto Emergency Braking (AEB). To be clear, Ford is slowly introducing autonomous tech features for drivers who need an extra helping hand. The Ford Edge is doing something new. “At

The 2019 Zeiss Photography Award is now open for entries, but rather than just rewarding single photos the competition is aimed at those shooting a body of work comprising multiple images. The competition is now in its fourth year, and runs in conjunction with the Sony World Photography Awards, with the awards presented in London next April. The brief for this years competition is ‘Seeing Beyond – The Unexpected’. Zeiss hopes the brief will challenge photographers, who can submit a series of fiv

Netflix has expanded its offering of ‘interactive storytelling’ with Minecraft: Story Mode, a choose-your-adventure story developed by Telltale Games. Minecraft: Story Mode isn’t a video game, or really a television show, but an interactive branching narrative whose outcome is decided by the viewer’s choices at key points in the story. The series is based on Minecraft, the bestselling crafting sandbox game that’s driven by user-created content – fitting then to make the TV spin-off an interactiv

Apple has released an update for its iCloud for Windows app (version 7.8.1) which should now allow it to work with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update. The issue was severe enough for Microsoft to pause rolling out the Windows 10 October 2018 Update to computers that had the iCloud app already installed. With the new release of iCloud for Windows, users can now upgrade to the Windows 10 October 2018 Update and still be able to use iCloud – though Microsoft recommends you install the latest versio

The first step for every platform is to open up Google Chrome on whatever device you’re getting the notifications through to. The next window has a section called ‘Notifications’, and you’ll either be able to turn all notifications off by default or toggle which websites you’d like to receive notifications from. This is a list of all the websites you’ve allowed to send you notifications. If you’ve blocked notifications from a website you’ll find it listed in the ‘block’ section at the top of tha

The Samsung Galaxy S10 will probably be more powerful than any current Android phone. According to a report from GF Securities (a Chinese market analysis and research firm) and covered by ITHome, one version of the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have both 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It doesn’t say which model will get that, but if those specs are reserved just for one then the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is the likely candidate. To put those numbers into perspective, the most RAM currently offered by a

Sony has a tendency to announce a new flagship smartphone every six months, and considering the Sony Xperia XZ3 was announced in August it makes sense we would start seeing leaks for the Xperia XZ4 around now. Even the Xperia XZ3 only had a single camera on the rear, so it’s quite a jump to see Sony move up to three. It looks like the company will reintegrate the fingerprint scanner into the power button on the side of the phone like on handsets such as the Sony Xperia Z5. Exactly when we’ll see

Google Chrome’s developers are working on a scrollable strip that will give each browser tab more room, making them easier to identify and click. Currently, tabs in Chrome become progressively smaller the more you open, until there’s only a favicon visible for each one. “Scrollable tabstrip is in the works,” Kasting said. Keeping tabsOther browsers use different methods of managing multiple tabs. Another option is to keep tabs under control using a plugin like Tab Wrangler, which closes inactive

YouTube is embarking on a bold new strategy regarding its original content, with the Google-owned video platform set to provide users with free, ad-supported versions of its YouTube Originals shows, as reported by Variety. Though previously only available as part of a paid subscription service, YouTube Originals (like the utterly fantastic Cobra Kai) will be made available with ads interspersed in 2019 – no YouTube Premium subscription required. “As we look to 2019, we will continue to invest in

Android’s Fast Pair technology launched October of last year, providing users of the Google-built operating system to quickly and easily pair compatible Bluetooth devices that are within range of their phone. Now, Google has announced via its Android Developers Blog that Fast Pair-enabled accessories, like headphones and speakers, will be easier to connect to other devices associated with the same Google Play account. That means only smartphones will boast the feature for now but, as the post me

Spotted first by German technology outlet TechTastic, Sony has already patented the new storage format. The patent application is blatantly titled “Electronic Game Cartridge” and depicts something that looks like a cross between a classic PlayStation memory card and a Nintendo Switch game cartridge. Honestly, the port is confusing, as this is assumed to be a video game storage format. Image credit: TechTasticConnecting the dotsThe release of this patent is far too specific and pointed to not ins

Samsung is aiming to make solid-state drives as affordable as hard drives with its latest line of 860 QVO SSDs. The Samsung 1TB 860 QVO SSD will only cost $149 (about £120, AU$210), which makes the price closer to that of the budget-friendly WD Black 1TB hard drive at $99. Compare that to the speediest hard drives, like one with fast-spinning 10,000 RPM platters like the now extinct WD VelociRaptor series. The 860 QVO also comes fitted with a MJX controller and integrated Intelligent TurboWrite

Nostalgia is a powerful resource, after all – as shown by the sellout success of Nintendo’s NES Classic and SNES Classic mini-consoles. So how did the PS1 Classic end up fronted by such a ragtag lineup? Classics like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Wipeout and Gran Turismo – all of which should’ve been shoe-ins for the PS1 Classic – would’ve therefore faced impossible licensing obstacles to make it over. Yet both these genres are poorly represented on the PS1 Classic. It’s interesting to note that anoth

The main focus was to take a peek at Vauxhall’s new concept GT X Experimental, which Adams and his design team have been working on for a while now. However, it was also a good chance to sit down and talk with him about the bigger picture: the future of car design and the tech that’s going to be on offer. And, although this is firmly in concept territory, the GT X Experimental has a few tricks up its sleeve that could be implemented in forthcoming Vauxhall cars. Everything is sort of turned up t

So far, the Pixel range has been exclusively high-end, but that might be all set to change, as numerous leaks and rumors point to a Google Pixel 3 Lite joining the already-available Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL. Another leaked image shows the Google Pixel 3 Lite next to the standard Google Pixel 3.
