The cryptominer is signposted during installation of Norton , though given the well-documented phenomenon of folks speedily clicking away EULAs, it's entirely likely non-technical users are unknowingly enabling it and then complaining about suddenly slow-running PCs due to a cryptominer technically running with their permission. Uninstalling it altogether takes a bit more persistence, it appears, with users needing to disable Norton Product Tamper Protection intended to protect the antivirus product from being disabled or deleted by malware before going through the usual Windows uninstallation steps.
Norton isn't alone: last year a maker of Wi-Fi routers offered to mine cryptocurrency on users' devices if they supplied connectivity to the general public. Norton has been in touch to say: "Norton Crypto is an opt-in feature only and is not enabled without user permission. If users have turned on Norton Crypto but no longer wish to use the feature, it can be disabled through Norton by temporarily shutting off "tamper protection" which allows users to modify the Norton installation and deleting NCrypt.
In conjunction with a White House meeting on Thursday at which technology companies discussed the security of open source software, Google proposed three initiatives to strengthen national cybersecurity. The meeting was arranged last month by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, amid the scramble to fix the Log4j vulnerabilities that occupied far too many people over the holidays.
Sullivan asked invited firms — a group that included Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle — to share ideas on how the security of open source projects might be improved. Google chief legal officer Kent Walker in a blog post said that just as the government and industry have worked to shore up shoddy legacy systems and software, the Log4j repair process — still ongoing — has demonstrated that open source software needs the same attention as critical infrastructure.
Apple's having a problem retaining top chip personnel, with the latest defection being CPU architect Mike Filippo going to Microsoft.
As chief compute architect at Microsoft, Filippo will design server chips for the software giant, according to media reports. The US Federal Communications Commission is considering imposing stricter rules requiring telecommunications carriers to report data breaches to customers and law enforcement more quickly. At the moment, companies have to wait seven business days before they can disclose a data breach to their customers.
Under the new plan, the waiting period will be scrapped altogether so people can be notified sooner. Two serious security vulnerabilities were recently found in AWS services, but because they were responsibly reported and the cloud biz responded quickly, no harm appears to have been done. On Thursday, Orca Security published details about Superglue and BreakingFormation , vulnerabilities in AWS Glue and AWS Cloud Formation that allowed attackers to access data for other customers and to access files and make server-side requests to internal web services infrastructure.
AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service for preparing data for subsequent processing. But thanks to an internal misconfiguration, Orca Security researchers were able to obtain more information than should have been allowed. Although the companies faced the highest attrition rates in three years and were forced to raise hiring targets, increasing use of technology during the pandemic has given a wide range of verticals a reason to shift from data centres to the cloud.
In turn, the pandemic's subsequent digitisation race has presented the IT consulting companies with a thriving market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in.
The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. This contributed to 23 per cent of TSMC's total wafer revenue in the quarter, while those made using its 7nm process accounted for a further 27 per cent.
These advanced technologies therefore made up half of TSMC's total wafer revenue during the quarter.
