Audio player loading… The majority of all data breach incidents were down to pure hack attacks, new research has found. A report from Flashpoint found that of all the data breach incidents reported during the first half of the year, six in ten (60%) happened due to “hacking” - when a person (or a group) accesses company systems without permission. All in all, there had been almost 2,000 reported data breaches around the world, in H1 2022, which is most definitely not the exact number of incidents. What’s meaningful about this report, though, is that incidents coming from misconfigurations are down almost 50% year-on-year, from 27.3 to 1.4 billion records. Insider attacks The report also discusses the danger of insider attacks. Apparently, just 23% of all incidents with confirmed origins came from insiders, and of that number, two-thirds (61%) were the result of mistakes with handling data. In total, 54 breaches have been confirmed as coming from an … [Read more...] about Unsurprisingly, most data breaches are caused by hacking

Die Beschäftigten im Silicon Valley werden als erste davon betroffen sein, bevor das Unternehmen seine Politik auf eine breitere Basis stellt. Bisher hatte Apple entschieden, dass der dritte Tag ein Montag sein sollte, aber es scheint, dass das Unternehmen bereit ist, seinen Beschäftigten ein gewisses Maß an Flexibilität zu gewähren. Apple kehrt ins Büro zurück Apple äußerte erstmals im Juni 2021 sein Interesse an einer Rückkehr an den Arbeitsplatz, als das Unternehmen mit der Idee spielte, eine Drei-Tage-Woche einzuführen, aber steigende Covid-19-Fälle reduzierten dies auf eine Zwei-Tage-Hybrid-Arbeitspolitik.

Infamous WeWork CEO Adam Neumann Attempts Comeback with Real Estate Venture
Former WeWork CEO and co-founder Adam Neumann is attempting to make a comeback in the form of a residential real-estate venture that has already lined up funding and is valued at more than $1 billion. Neumann’s planned real estate business Flow has received $350 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital firm that was an early investor in Silicon Valley giants Twitter and Airbnb. (AFP) (AP) Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, announced the funding in a blog post Monday, saying the way people live and work has changed drastically in the last two years, with more people working from home and moving away from major cities, especially young people. “The residential real estate world needs to address these changing dynamics. And yet virtually no aspect of the modern housing market is ready for these changes,” he wrote. “And so, we are excited to partner with Adam Neumann and his colleagues on Flow, which is a direct strike … [Read more...] about Infamous WeWork CEO Adam Neumann Attempts Comeback with Real Estate Venture
Royal Air Force Paused Hiring ‘White Men’ to Hit Diversity Quotas – Claim
The RAF has reportedly stopped its hiring of white men so as to hit its diversity quotas for women and ethnic minorities, a senior officer within the organisation has claimed. Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) is alleged to have put the hiring of white men into the organisation on “pause” in the hopes of boosting the percentage of women and ethnic minorities in the military organisation. Such a boost is aimed at hitting a number of diversity targets set by various military bigwigs within Britain, with the country’s woke Ministry of Defence announcing late last year that it wanted to double the percentage number of women recruited into the army, navy, and air force. According to a report by Sky News, however, many within the organisation have lambasted that push to meet diversity targets as being detrimental to its operational effectiveness at a time when both Russia and China are posing an ever more significant security threat to UK strategic interests. The push has … [Read more...] about Royal Air Force Paused Hiring ‘White Men’ to Hit Diversity Quotas – Claim
