Safari now blocks all but latest version of Flash plugin | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it

A little over a month ago, Mozilla has announced that Firefox will be preventing all plug-ins except the current version of Flash from loading automatically, requiring users who explicitly want to use them to start them themselves.

Last week, Apple has decided to do the same with older versions of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in.

Apple acquires fingerprint scanner firm AuthenTec

Apple acquires fingerprint scanner firm AuthenTec | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it
Apple has snapped up AuthenTec, a Delaware-based company that specializes in security systems such as fingerprint scanners.

 

So what does Apple want with AuthenTec? Are we about to see fingerprint scanners embedded in all our MacBooks? My guess is not so much on that front. But AuthenTec makes security-related products for other platforms, too. For example, the company has helped develop a system for Android devices where a fingerprint scanner is used in conjunction with mobile wallet functionality, as a way to secure payments.

 

Apple does tend to acquire small companies from time to time, usually in areas that it wants to control. For example, the company acquired a number of mapping firms that formed the basis of its iOS 6 mapping technology, bought up chip-maker PA Semi so it could design its own processor, and purchased Siri to make, well, Siri. In all of those cases, there was some lag time between the acquisition of the firm and the revelation of exactly what Apple was doing with the technology; if that holds true in this case, then a year or so from now, we’ll probably have the answer.

 

Apple did not respond to Macworld's request for comment as of this writing.

 

Gust MEES: something to watch in the future...

How to Launch a Successful BYOD Program

How to Launch a Successful BYOD Program | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it


Katy Independent School District (ISD) has a student population of 63,000 students and 56 schools – elementary, middle and high schools. There are 83 languages spoken by students in the district and 31 percent of the student population is on free or reduced lunch programs.

 

In 2009, Katy began a three-year plan to change instruction in the school district by promoting a standardized toolbox of web-based tools dubbed “Web 2.0.” They also set out guidelines for behavior in the digital space called “Digital Citizenship,” in the hopes that the school would not just teach kids math and reading, but also how to behave in a public digital world.

 

Gust MEES: while using "Bring Your Own Device" (Hashtag on Twitter = #BYOD) you must also take care about IT-Security and Privacy! Check my FREE course who explains in detail:

Dropbox confirms it got hacked, will offer two-factor authentication

Dropbox confirms it got hacked, will offer two-factor authentication | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it
Spammers used stolen password to access list of Dropbox user e-mails.

 

A couple of weeks ago Dropbox hired some "outside experts" to investigate why a bunch of users were getting spam at e-mail addresses used only for Dropbox storage accounts. The results of the investigation are in, and it turns out a Dropbox employee’s account was hacked, allowing access to user e-mail addresses.

In an explanatory blog post, Dropbox today said a stolen password was "used to access an employee Dropbox account containing a project document with user email addresses." Hackers apparently started spamming those addresses, although there’s no indication that user passwords were revealed as well.

 

Some Dropbox customer accounts were hacked too, but this was apparently an unrelated matter. "Our investigation found that usernames and passwords recently stolen from other websites were used to sign in to a small number of Dropbox accounts," the company said.

BYOD: Haven’t got a policy? Maybe it’s time you did

BYOD: Haven’t got a policy? Maybe it’s time you did | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it
Most organisations still don’t have a strategy for dealing with the demands of bring your own device - but pressure to have one continues to bui...

 

As a result, he said, companies are increasingly putting a BYOD policy in place. According to IDC’s research, 20 per cent of companies have a BYOD policy in place and 15 per cent are working on it. But that leaves the majority - 65 per cent - nowhere on this issue yet.

 

Simon Gale, CTO at IBM workplace services, said that as a result of BYOD, IT organisations are looking for new ways to secure their infrastructure, as the security perimeter changes from the physical device to the data.

 

“You had a standardised layer that was the device and the operating system. What BYOD is doing is taking away that opportunity for standardisation and so the IT department is trying to work out where that level is”.
