OpenAI is reportedly thinking about developing its own browser with the aim of challenging Google’s dominance in the market, according to The Information. The new browser would have built-in support for Chat GPT and Open AI’s search engine Search GPT.

OpenAI representatives have apparently held talks with developers from Conde Nast, Redfin, Eventbrite, and Priceline, but so far no agreements have been signed.

Shares of Google’s parent company Alphabet declined on the Nasdaq exchange after the browser plans became public, Reuters reported.

New Windows 11 tool can fix devices that won’t boot remotely

Home » Archive by Category "Technology"

Microsoft is working on a new Windows feature, “Quick Machine Recovery,” that will allow IT administrators to use Windows Update with “targeted fixes” to remotely fix systems that can’t boot, according to Bleeping Computer.

The new feature is part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative — Microsoft’s efforts to prevent a repeat of the outage that occurred in July 2024, when a buggy Crowdstrike update left hundreds of thousands of Windows computers unable to start, affecting hospitals, emergency services and airlines worldwide.

Microsoft plans to roll out the Quick Machine Recovery feature to the Windows 11 Insider Program in early 2025.

Will new Apple Pay oversight make Apple Bank a good idea?

Home » Archive by Category "Technology"

As regulation threatens to tear Google apart and fundamentally both damage both Android and Apple, yet another regulatory noose is tightening around Cupertino, as its Apple Pay service will in future be regulated like a bank.

All this comes as company lawyers attempt to get the insanely flawed US Department of Justice anti-trust case against Apple quashed. and it climbs in on top of recent threats of further fines and challenges in Europe. You’d be forgiven if some of the leaders at Apple might feel a little as if they have been born in “interesting times.”

Apple Pay faces tougher regulation

The latest twist of the rope comes from the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is about to introduce a new rule that puts Apple Pay and other digital wallet services under the same federal supervision as banks. That’s going to mean the CFPB can proactively examine Apple and other large companies in this space to ensure they are complying with consumer protection laws concerning privacy and surveillance, error and fraud, and maintaining service continuity in order to protect users against “debanking.”

The agency in 2022 warned some Big Tech firms providing such services about their obligations under consumer protection laws when using behavioral targeting for financial products. 

Announcing the regulation on X, CFPB Director Rohit Chopra explained his organization is also concerned about “how these apps can fuel surge pricing that jack up costs using your purchase history and personal data.”

You can read the new rules governing these companies here (PDF). But what is interesting is that elements of them that might have impacted crypto transactions appear to have been mitigated or removed.

Proactive, not reactive, oversight

Most of these matters were already regulated; what really changes is how rules around them are enforced. You see, while the previous regulation meant CFPB could only react to consumer complaints as they arose, it can now proactively investigate compliance. That’s the same kind of oversight banks and credit unions already face and means Apple and other payment providers covered by the rules will face deeper and, presumably, more intrusive oversight. 

The new rules will only affect digital wallet providers whose tech is handling 50 million or more transactions per year. Apple’s system is now easily the most widely used digital wallet in America, so it will most certainly face this oversight. The company also participated in the consultation process that preceded the new rule’s introduction. Other providers likely swooped up under the law will include Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, and Google Pay.

To some degree, the rules make sense, given that digital wallets are used to handle real money and consumer protection is vital. But what’s really interesting is the extent to which the new determination proves just how rapidly digital wallets have replaced real wallets across the last decade.

The rise and rise of digital payments

That’s certainly what the CFPB thinks. “Digital payments have gone from novelty to necessity and our oversight must reflect this reality,” said Chopra. “The rule will help to protect consumer privacy, guard against fraud, and prevent illegal account closures.”

If you think back, it wasn’t terribly long ago when the notion that Apple wanted to turn your iPhone into a wallet seemed impossibly extreme. That is no longer the case. Two years ago, researchers claimed Apple Pay had surpassed Mastercard in the dollar value of transactions made annually, making Apple Pay the world’s second most popular payment system, just behind Visa. Google’s G Play system then stood in fifth place. 

The regulator explains that payment apps are now a “cornerstone” of daily commerce, with people using them daily as if they were cash. “What began as a convenient alternative to cash has evolved into a critical financial tool, processing over a trillion dollars in payments between consumers and their friends, families, and businesses,” the CFPB said.

What next? 

I think it’s pretty clear that Apple has learned a lot about this business since the introduction of Apple Pay. Not only has it been in, and then exited, the lucrative Buy Now Pay Later market with Apple Pay Later, but it has also experienced the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune with its wildly popular credit card operation, Apple Card, which has ended in a tumultuous relationship with Goldman Sachs.

During all these adventures, the company will have learned a great deal about the sector — and now that it is being regulated as if it were a bank, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if it decided to become one.

After all, if it’s getting regulated to the same extent as banks, why not get into more of the same business sectors banks now serve? I can’t help but imagine that Apple already has a weighty file of research documents in one of its Cupertino filing cabinets exploring how and where it might profitably extend Apple Pay into more traditional banking sectors.

The new CFPB oversight regime might well accelerate any such plans.

Apple admins: Update your hardware now

Home » Archive by Category "Technology"

Among the first things Apple IT admins woke up to this morning was news of a pair of actively exploited zero-day attacks in the wild targeting Intel Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Vision Pro users. Apple has already released software patches for the flaws, which is why the second thing admins realized is that they must rush through any necessary software verification process required before expediting installation of the update.

In these days of remotely managed devices and increasingly effective MDM systems, that’s far less a problem than it was in the past. You can usually make a policy change and push out updates to all your managed devices quickly.

Companies that don’t use these systems, or those that have employees using their own personal devices to access potentially sensitive internal data, must work harder to convince users to install security updates. So, what can they tell people about the latest threat that might help motivate them to install the patch today?

Why you should update immediately

First, Apple says it believes the attack is being actively used, which means any Intel system — including systems used by other people you interact with — is a potential target. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited,” the company said. 

Second, it slips in using flaws in software you use daily, including JavaScript and WebKit, the rendering engine that powers the Safari browser on Apple devices. In other words, everyone using Apple’s devices is a potential target. 

Finally — and perhaps best of all — Apple has already shipped a fix for the problem, maintaining its reputation for being ahead of threats, rather than echoing the approach taken by some other platforms and racing to keep up with attacks. It’s almost as if Apple’s systems remain more secure for a reason. The company addressed 20 zero-day attacks in 2023 and has guarded against just six so far this year.

Apple also shipped security patches for iOS 17 and iPad OS 17 systems and patches for Safari on macOS Ventura and Sonoma.

What the experts say

Michael Covington, vice president for portfolio strategy at Jamf, thinks all users should update at once.

“While Apple has warned that the vulnerabilities, also present in macOS, may be actively exploited on Intel-based systems, we recommend updating any device that is at risk,” he said. “With attackers potentially exploiting both vulnerabilities, it is critical that users and mobile-first organizations apply the latest patches as soon as they are able.” 

What are these attacks?

The attack vector makes use of two vulnerabilities found in macOS Sequoia JavaScriptCore (CVE-2024-44308) and WebKit (CVE-2024-44309). The first lets attackers achieve remote code execution (RCE) through maliciously crafted web content; the second lets attackers engage in cross-site scripting attacks.

As admins will recognize, RCE exploits can enable attackers to install malware surreptitiously on infected machines, perform denial-of-service attacks, or access sensitive information, while a cross-scripting attack can help hackers grab personal data for identity theft and other nefarious ends.  No one wants to be a victim of either form of attack.

Who is using these attacks?

No information pertaining to who has been using these flaws in their attacks has been shared. With that in mind, it’s important to note that the flaws were identified by researchers at Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), which works to counter government-backed attacks. That suggests that whoever has been weaponizing these vulnerabilities is connected to a national entity of some kind.

If that is the case, recent reports from TAG suggest an upsurge in such attacks, so users in some industries and professions might want to consider locking down their devices with Apple’s Lockdown Mode to minimize their attack surface. IT, meanwhile, should review security compliance, particularly among those using older iPhones, iPads, or Intel Macs.

CMA gives Google’s $2B Anthropic investment the green light

Home » Archive by Category "Technology"

It took the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) less than a month to decide that there is no need to proceed further with a merger investigation after Google’s purchase of a $2 billion stake in Anthropic.

In a statement released on Oct. 24, the CMA indicated that it had obtained “sufficient information” to launch a preliminary investigation into the investment by Google, which was first announced last year and involved an initial sum of $500 million, with the remainder to be invested at a later date.

The regulator was then scheduled to announce on Dec. 19 whether or not a more detailed phase 2 probe would take place, a move that ended up being fast forwarded.

Scott Bickley, advisory fellow at Info-Tech Research Group, said when the initial investigation was announced that the probe sounded like a “precautionary investigation across the board to me, primarily due to the fact that the CMA just recently approved Amazon’s Anthropic investment and partnership.”

Last March, Amazon announced it was investing $2.75 billion in Anthropic, bringing its total investment in the AI startup to $4 billion.

As part of this partnership, Anthropic said it would use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its main cloud provider for key operations, including AI safety research and the development of foundation models. Anthropic will also use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips for building, training, and deploying future models.

The CMA ruling on that investment was released on Sept. 27, and stated that the regulator does not believe that a “relevant merger situation has been created.”

Phil Brunkard, executive counselor at Info-Tech Research Group, UK, said last month that “both Google and Amazon are trying to compete with OpenAI, but it’s interesting that the CMA is focusing on Google when Amazon was just cleared, which raises some questions about consistency.”

While investigations do create some uncertainty, he said, “Amazon’s clearance hints that Google could have a similar outcome. It seems the CMA is just being thorough, but these investments will likely continue.”

Brunkard said Tuesday he was not surprised by the ruling issued by the CMA, a non-ministerial department in the UK government that oversees business activities and flags potentially unfair competition.

“As I had mentioned previously, the CMA appeared to have been conducting a thorough review, and the latest report confirms they were satisfied after assessing their criteria,” he said, adding, “it’s essential that the CMA continues this consistent approach to ensure a fair and competitive marketplace.”

This kind of oversight, said Brunkard, is “especially important in the exponentially evolving AI sector, where investments from tech giants like Google and Amazon have the potential to shape the market significantly.”

The CMA first launched an initial review into the market for AI systems in May 2023, and in a statement announced it would focus in on three key areas: how the competitive markets for foundation models and their use could evolve; the opportunities and risks these scenarios could bring for competition and consumer protection; and what guiding principles should be introduced to support competition and protect consumers as AI models develop.

The organization said that the review is in line with the UK government’s aim to support “open, competitive markets.”

Business Internet Security: Everything You Need to Consider

Home » Archive by Category "Technology"

Cyber-attacks can cost companies millions of dollars in lost revenue, legal fees, and recovery efforts. A security breach can severely tarnish a company’s reputation and customer trust, making comprehensive internet security crucial for your small business.

Investing in effective cybersecurity measures, especially regarding business internet and email security, acts as a shield against potential threats. These internet security solutions will protect your sensitive data and maintain the trust and safety of your clients and partners.

Business Internet Security Checklist

Building a robust internet security strategy for your business may seem complex. To help you prioritize your cybersecurity threats and build a strong security solution, we’ve created an extensive checklist.

1. Secure Your Network Infrastructure

The foundation of good internet security relies on a strong, secure network infrastructure. Your network is like your office; strong walls, locked doors, and vigilant guards keep it secure.

Firewall Protection: Your First Line of Defense

Firewalls act as a barrier between your network and the outside world, blocking unauthorized access and malicious traffic. Think of it as your business’s security guard, carefully checking everyone who tries to enter. Firewalls can filter incoming and outgoing network traffic, enforcing your security rules through threat detection.

Network Segmentation for Damage Control

Imagine dividing your office into sections with different security clearances—that’s what network segmentation does. By separating your network into smaller, isolated segments, you limit the reach of any potential breach.

Even if one part of your network is compromised, the others remain safe, containing the damage and preventing a complete shutdown. Network segmentation is one of the most important security features a business can implement, even if you run a small business.

2. Strengthen Your Devices and Access Points

Each device on your business’s network, from computers to mobile phones, represents a potential point of entry for hackers. Treat connected devices as a door to your Wi-Fi networks, ensuring each one is secure enough to protect the entire structure.

Robust Passwords and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Using weak or easily guessable passwords is like leaving your office unlocked, allowing online threats to gain access. It’s an open invitation for trouble. Implement a strong password policy requiring employees to use complex passwords.

You should encourage use of a password manager and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts to add another layer of protection. Strong passwords are one of the easiest ways to strengthen your business cybersecurity.

Regular Software Updates

Software updates often include vital security patches that address identified vulnerabilities. Delaying updates on your security software is like ignoring a leaky roof; if left unattended, it will only get worse. Patch management and regularly updating all software on all your devices, including antivirus software and operating systems, will minimize the risk of exploitation.

Schedule updates and educate your employees about the importance of keeping their systems current. Regularly updating your software is one of the best free security solutions for your business.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions

EDR solutions are your network’s security team that continuously monitors for suspicious activity. They then respond to this activity in real-time. Consider implementing an EDR solution that proactively detects, isolates, and responds to threats on individual devices within your network.

3. Safeguarding Your Data

Your business’s data—customer information, financial records, and intellectual property—is invaluable. Protecting your business data should be a top priority.

Data Encryption

Imagine losing access to all your essential documents; that’s the chaos data loss can cause. Having secure backups of your crucial data ensures business continuity, even if a cyber incident occurs.

Implement a secure data backup and recovery plan that includes regular backups, offsite storage, and disaster recovery testing. It is also vital to make sure your internet connection is secure before backing up data to the cloud.

Implement a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Strategy

A robust DLP strategy helps detect, monitor, and prevent the unauthorized use or transmission of sensitive data. This strategy acts as a safeguard against both accidental data leaks and intentional theft.

4. Educating Your Workforce

Your employees play a critical role in maintaining strong business internet security. Equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to act as an added layer of defense through security awareness training workshops. Human error causes many data leaks and security risks.

Cybersecurity Training

Conduct regular and comprehensive cybersecurity training for all employees. Training should focus on common cyber threats like malicious sites, phishing scams, and social engineering attacks. It is also important to educate employees about security awareness and best practices for online security, especially on public networks.

Password Management

Encouraging the use of strong and unique passwords for all business accounts, such as Microsoft Exchange, is key to fortifying your first line of defense. Implement a business-wide password manager for secure storage and effortless access for your employees.

Establish Clear Communication Channels

Establishing clear communication protocols for reporting security incidents and concerns helps you address issues more rapidly and effectively. This will help mitigate potential damage. Encourage employees to use these communication channels if they have accessed any inappropriate or malicious websites on company devices.

Your Business’s Cybersecurity Journey Starts Now

With cyber threats continuing to evolve and become more sophisticated, businesses can never be complacent about internet security and protecting their private network and data.

Taking proactive steps toward securing your digital infrastructure and safeguarding sensitive data is a critical business decision. Prioritizing robust internet security measures safeguards your small business and ensures you’re well-equipped to face whatever kind of threat may come your way.

While implementing these security measures may seem daunting, partnering with the right internet service provider like Optimum can give you a head start on your cybersecurity journey.Want Internet service with cybersecurity built in? Try Optimum Business Internet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Internet Security

How can we protect IoT devices from becoming the entry point for security vulnerabilities into a network?

IoT devices can be particularly vulnerable to security breaches, but several measures can help protect your network:

Change default passwords immediately and use strong, unique passwords for each device

Regularly update IoT device firmware to patch security vulnerabilities

Implement network segmentation to isolate IoT devices on a separate network from critical business systems

Disable unnecessary features and ports that could be exploited

Monitor IoT device activity for unusual patterns that might indicate a breach

Use a dedicated firewall for IoT devices to control their internet access

Which security measure limits the access of outsiders to the internal network of a business?

Firewalls are the primary security measure that controls external access to your internal network. They act as a barrier between your trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, like the internet. Firewalls monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules, effectively limiting unauthorized access while allowing legitimate business communications to continue.

Who in a business should be responsible for cybersecurity?

While a designated IT security team or professional may lead cybersecurity efforts, security is everyone’s responsibility. Here’s how responsibility can be distributed:

Leadership: Set security policies and allocate resources

IT Department: Implement and maintain security measures

Department Managers: Ensure compliance within their teams

Employees: Follow security protocols and report suspicious activity

External Partners: Comply with security requirements when accessing company resources

However, if you don’t have the benefit of a dedicated IT department, you can turn to Optimum for help and support.

What can we do to stay on top of cybersecurity threats?

Keeping strong cybersecurity is all about staying alert and taking proactive steps. Organizations should consider signing up for threat intelligence feeds to stay updated on new vulnerabilities and regularly assess their security to spot potential issues.

Having an ongoing routine of software updates and security patches, along with ongoing employee training on security awareness, can help build a strong cybersecurity foundation. Many organizations also find it helpful to team up with cybersecurity experts who can offer advice on new threats and suggest the best security practices.
