Connectivity makes wireless networks prone to attack. This article will look at wireless attacks on the industrial control systems (ICS) environment which often lead to disruption of operations. Wireless attacks in ICS Inadequate authentication Loopholes that allow attacks on ICS and ICS components are created through the weak implementation of a wireless network.

According to a Blaze study stemming from 45,000 Android and iOS tests, the Android browser on average loads web pages 52 percent faster than mobile Safari. The results are inconclusive, however, because it’s unclear whether Blaze’s measurements take into account the new Nitro JavaScript engine that comes with iOS 4.3. The report was completed before this complaint was made public and Blaze is arguing that the lack of Nitro boost can “slightly” skew the results given that “JavaScript only accounts for a small percentage of the total load time....

Retail and AppleCare employees will continue to work on those days to serve customers, but they’ll get the additional, paid time off at a later date along with international employees....

The Ascend series has typically carried the flagship mantle from Huawei. But surprisingly, Huawei chose the Honor series to have the honor of being the first smartphone with the new HiSilicon Kirin 920 SoC which is an octa-core processor made of four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores. That’s kind of a big deal for us geeks, but what about the end users? Does Honor 6 has enough stuff to warrant a look into your pockets?...

Hugo Weaving says he received an offer to reprise his role as Agent Smith for The Matrix 4, but scheduling conflicts prevented him from accepting. Smith, of course, was introduced in the original Matrix as one of the “Agent” programs tasked with preventing humans from escaping the simulated reality (aka. “The Matrix”) in which machines keep them imprisoned in the film’s dystopian sci-fi setting. He quickly became an iconic villain thanks to Weaving’s performance, especially the coldly robotic way he would refer to protagonist Neo (Keanu Reeves) by his name within The Matrix: “Mr....

Apple has for the first time allowed a reporter to cover the human curation process used to pick which news stories are included – and featured – in the Apple News app. The Cupertino company is unusual in having people, not algorithms, pick its top stories. That approach is highly controversial, giving around a dozen people control over what is seen by some 90 million people – but Apple believes it is the safer approach …...

This afternoon, the folks over at iFixit have published their full teardowns of the new MacBooks, and things are incredibly similar to the Intel-powered predecessors.

After announcing it would be bringing a smart plug to its Tradfri lineup of HomeKit enabled accessories back in August, Ikea has made the new $10 device available for purchase. While Ikea brought HomeKit support to Tradfri devices last year, Ikea apparently needs more time before bringing support for Apple’s platform to the new smart plug. Originally expected to arrive in October, Ikea has just made the Tradfri smart plug available for the holiday shopping season (via Pocket-lint)....

In a new interview, Independence Day: Resurgence director Roland Emmerich said that fans can blame Will Smith and Suicide Squad for the sequel’s many problems. The original Independence Day is a quintessential 1990s blockbuster action film starring Jeff Goldblum and Smith in their action-movie-prime. However, the 2016 sequel left many long-time fans of the movie disappointed. While Goldblum reprised his role as a scientist in the sequel, like he did with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Smith ultimately chose not to appear in Independence Day: Resurgence as Captain Steven Hiller, USMC....

IDC is out today with a new forecast for the smartphone industry during the second half of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. For Apple specifically, IDC predicts that 2019 will be a “challenging year for iPhone shipments,” due in some part to the expectation that the iPhone 11 won’t support 5G. On an industry-wide basis, IDC expects smartphone shipments in 2019 to fall 2.2 percent compared to 2018. In 2020, however, the firm predicts that shipments will grow by 1....

Well-respected British audio company Bowers & Wilkins clearly wants to be ready for the anticipated loss of the headphone socket in the iPhone 7: it has just announced a Bluetooth version of its P7 over-ear headphones.
