https://threatpost.com/intel-releases-up...ps/130144/        Intel Releases Updated Spectre Fixes For Broadwell and Haswell Chips   by Lindsey O'Donnell February 28, 2018 , 9:59 am
Intel has issued updated microcode to help safeguard its Broadwell and Haswell chips from the Spectre Variant 2 security exploits.

According to Intel documents, an array of its older processors, including the Broadwell Xeon E3, Broadwell U/Y, Haswell H,S and Haswell Xeon E3 platforms, have now been fixed and are available to hardware partners.
The Spectre and Meltdown defects, which account for three variants of a side-channel analysis security issue in server and desktop processors, could potentially allow hackers to access users’ protected data. Meltdown breaks down the mechanism keeping applications from accessing arbitrary system memory, while Spectre tricks other applications into accessing arbitrary locations in their memory.

The security flaws were first disclosed by Google Project Zero in early January and impact an array of processors on the market, including those from Intel, ARM and AMD. Intel, for its part, initially released patches addressing the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in January, but later recalled its patches for the Variant 2 flaw – both on the client compute and data center sides – after acknowledging that they caused “higher than expected reboots and other unpredictable system behavior.”

At the time, EVP and general manager of Intel’s data center group Navin Shenoy said that early releases of the firmware were causing an uptick in reboots on updated systems with Broadwell and Haswell chips, and that the chip company was working on new fixes.

“As part of this, we have determined that similar behavior occurs on other products in some configurations, including Ivy Bridge-, Sandy Bridge-, Skylake-, and Kaby Lake-based platforms,” said Shenoy in the post. “We have reproduced these issues internally and are making progress toward identifying the root cause. In parallel, we will be providing beta microcode to vendors for validation by next week.”

According to Intel’s documentation, the Spectre fixes for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge are still in beta and are being tested by hardware partners.

Quote:When it comes to value-for-money Android smartphones, Honor is one of the strongest brands out there.
Priced at £280, the Honor 7X has a range of features that make it an appealing purchase like a 5.93-inch 2160x1080p display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a 16MP dual-lens camera, 3340 mAh battery and a fingerprint scanner packed into a sleek aluminium body.
It’s actually rather impressive, and Honor has sent us a pretty gold 7X to give away for free to one lucky winner.

http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-woz...oin-2018-2       Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak said he was scammed out of $70,000 in bitcoin 
James Cook   
 18h   The Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak said he had several bitcoins stolen by a scammer using a common technique.
The Economic Times reports that Wozniak discussed cryptocurrency during a talk at the newspaper's Global Business Summit last week.

"The blockchain identifies who has bitcoins," Wozniak said, referring to the technology underpinning cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

He added: "That doesn't mean there can't be fraud though.

"I had seven bitcoins stolen from me through fraud. Somebody bought them from me online through a credit card, and they canceled the credit-card payment. It was that easy! And it was from a stolen credit-card number, so you can never get it back."

Wozniak's seven missing bitcoins would equate to about $74,000 (£53,000) at Tuesday's price — though that isn't likely to be a concern for Wozniak, who is worth about $100 million, according to an estimate by TheRichest.

Wozniak said he sold most of his remaining bitcoins.

"I didn't want to watch the price every day," he said, adding: "I sold all except one. It was enough to experiment."

https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/26/17052...rage-china       Apple will store some iCloud encryption keys in China, raising security concerns
To comply with new laws
By Thuy Ong@ThuyOng  Feb 26, 2018, 11:20am EST       Last month, Apple announced that it would hand over management of its Chinese iCloud data to a local, state-owned firm in China called Cloud Big Data Industrial Development Co (GCBD) at the end of February in order to comply with new laws. Now, Reuters is reporting that Apple will also hold iCloud encryption keys for Chinese users in China itself, raising new concerns about government access. The new policy does not affect any iCloud users outside of China.

As Reuters notes, that compliance means Chinese authorities will have easier access to user data that’s stored in Apple’s iCloud service, especially now that, for the first time, Apple will store the keys for Chinese iClouds within China. Apple says it alone would control the encryption keys, and Chinese authorities do not have any “backdoor” to access data. Until now, such keys were exclusively stored in the US for all users.

Starting February 28th, Apple’s operation of iCloud services in the country will transfer to GCBD. Reuters spoke to human rights activists who said there was fear that those in power could use the new rules to track down dissidents. In a statement, Apple said it “had to comply with recently introduced Chinese laws that require cloud services offered to Chinese citizens be operated by Chinese companies and that the data be stored in China.” Apple noted that its values don’t change even if it is “subjected to each country’s laws.”

Apple’s attempt to capitalize one of its largest growth markets has been a juggle between consumer rights and business opportunities. Last year, the company controversially removed VPN apps from its App Store in China, claiming to only be following the law in order to continue operating there. It’s also snuck in several nods to the Chinese market during its major product announcement keynotes, such as references to WeChat during its previous demonstrations of the Apple Watch. Apple chief executive Tim Cook is also due to co-chair the China Development Forum in March.

We’ve reached out to Apple for further comment.
