Piracy: Google made the pub legal offer, including his … – ZDNet

Article updated at 17h

The search engine Google does participate actively in illegal downloading and copyright infringement? The accusation, made by the lobbies of the cultural industry, returns steadily, which is defending the company, ensuring that the “search” is by no means the main contributor of traffic piracy sites (less than 16 % Pirate Bay).

In August, Google said inbox every day a million requests for removal (de-indexing pages) on the basis of the American Copyright Act (DMCA) – and 224 million for the whole of 2013, less than 1% are not enforced. The giant has already announced several changes to its engine, for in his fight against illegal downloading.

From paid advertising, but not enhanced SEO

And the new idea of ​​Google to stop these practices and the use of the engine for the purpose of piracy is to promote legally available. Thus, for certain search queries related to music and movies, Google will trigger the display of a new advertising format.

For the engine, it is well to help users to find legitimate sources. “For the relatively small number of requests for films including words such as download, free or watch” Google has begun to show results suggested excerpts of legal offers. “We refined the signal and we expect that it clearly affects the ranking of the most popular websites,” the engine.

In addition to ad placement, which will be monetized by Google, the engine displays links to the desired movie pointing to Amazon, Netfix, as well as its own content platform, Google Play.

Similarly, displayed to the right of the results page when researching names here artist panel will include links to corresponding legal offers. A good opportunity for Google to monetize therefore searches for illegal content. Not sure so that rights holders see it as a means of selfless giant to promote legal services.

A ranking degraded to some illegal download sites

The RIAA argued in particular for better SEO legal sites. Adding an ad format is not a priori the expected response. They would instead be satisfied with other changes announced by Google -. Provided they check

The giant had previously committed to degrade the ranking of the sites covered by many DMCA takedown requests. Google claims to have refined his algorithm and hope “visibly affect the rankings of some of the famous sights.” This change must be made from this week, only the United States currently.

Meanwhile, Google said removing new keywords of its automatic search suggestions , on the basis of requests received DMCA. Specifically, when a user enters the name of a film, a series or a game, a game or a song, autocomplete queries in the search bar will offer more links to sites frequently targeted by DMCA.Objectif referred queries: reduce the view of suggestions by tracing results in many of the targeted removal requests websites .
 

Piracy: Google purge its search results – Linformatique.org

With the latest update to its algorithms, Google gives more rights to the estate, which will consign to oblivion the sites that are the subject of alerts.

Google now give more weight to the reports sent by the record labels and film majors, when they consider the contents infringe copyright, this is what the famous search engine has announced. This is part of the start of production of new algorithms of the search engine.

Specifically, when a site will be denounced piracy, it will be downgraded in the results, because “A result returned au beyond the first page of the engine has in fact very little chance of being clicked, “this is what Google indicated in its report on piracy on Friday.

This is a modification algorithms share a Google responds to repeated requests from beneficiaries who continue to demand that housekeeping is done in search results while the terms “download”, “streaming” or “mp3″ can bring out the results of sites offering illegal content.

It should be noted that Google has implemented an automated reporting system contents, in 2011, a device on which professionals rushed. The search engine has received about 224 million withdrawal requests last year and accepted 222 million. Currently, it handles more than one million applications every day, which is more than all the combined years 1998-2010

Despite this tool seems to be a big improvement, it has not prevented RIAA, the American lobby music, pushing Google to introduce stronger measures, that the search engine has just

Mission Rosetta target confirmed for Philae – Industry and Technologies

 The European Space Agency ( ESA ) gave the green light Tuesday, October 14 the deployment of the lander Philae on the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko from the probe Rosetta , scheduled for November 12. Since arriving at the comet, whom she met at 55 000 km / h after traveling 6.4 billion kilometers, Rosetta has conducted several studies and unprecedented scientific analysis to help researchers learn more about the formation of our solar system.

 In parallel, the probe is closer to the comet originally in orbit 100 km on August 6, it is now located just 10 km from the core of the rock 4 km long. This proximity has allowed teams from ESA to determine which sites were most favorable landing Philae, which will conduct testing directly from the core surface in addition to the analyzes of Rosetta from orbit.

 Below is a video of the orbital maneuvers qu’effectuera Rosetta to deploy Philae. The animation shows the orbit of Rosetta before, during and after its separation from the lander

 It begins on 1 October with Rosetta located 19 km from the center of Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We then see the change to a close orbit of 10 km (mid-October) and the steps prior to separation (Nov. 12), including a short maneuver, two hours prior to deployment, to be placed at 22.5 km of the comet and ensure proper trajectory Philae. A series of decisions (Go / No-Go) will be taken prior to separation, beginning November 11 and continuing until the last moment before the separation. In the case of a “No-Go”, the deployment would be canceled and another attempt would be set up for a later date. Note that the entire operation must adhere to a very strict timing, given that on November 12 it will take 28 minutes and 20 seconds for a message to one-way between Rosetta and Earth.

 During the descent of the lander (approximately 7 hours), Rosetta is still executing a maneuver to keep eye contact with him, redirecting to establish communication (about two hours after the separation). Philae meanwhile take multiple images and conduct scientific experiments, analyzing the dust and gas in the environment of the comet. A final series of maneuvers Rosetta send an orbit 50 km before replacing 30 km and 20 km (early December).

 Scientific experiments Philae at the surface will begin approximately one hour after landing and will last 64 hours, limited by the capacity of the battery module. The conduct further studies will be its ability to recharge them, including the impact of dust on the proper operation of solar panels. In all cases, it is estimated that Philae stop operating when the comet nearer sun, in March 2015, the temperature becomes too high. However, the Rosetta probe itself will continue to work in orbit and study the evolution of the comet as it passes closest to the sun (in August 2015) and later when its distance from the star.

Dropbox: 7,000,000 words stolen, whose fault is happening? – MetroNews

081 6937 This is the very specific IDs and passwords were hacked by malicious people number. These pirates have unveiled their crime on the Net and threaten to reveal this valuable data if Dropbox does not pay a ransom. For proof of this piracy, they have already released a list of 400 passwords Dropbox members whose first name begins with the letter B. To not go further and do not put it online – or sell to the highest bidder – the approximately 7 million codes, these pirates are demanding a ransom to be paid in Bitcoins. But Dropbox does not seem ready to give.

In fact, the storage service online content says it is not responsible for the leak of data. As in the case of Snapchat (including 100 000 photos and videos of users have been hacked), Dropbox says that there is no security breach on its servers. Therefore no intrusion, but then whose fault is it? According to the cloud service, they are third-party applications – capable of interconnecting with Dropbox – which are to question. “These IDs and passwords were stolen unfortunately other services used in attempts to connect to many other Web sites, including Dropbox,” says Anton Mityagin, responsible for security on the firm’s blog .

Change password for Dropbox security

Specifically, the hackers have managed to break the security of a third party service that can be grafted to Dropbox. Once this first stage of “siphoning” of usernames and passwords of people realized they would have reused these combinations to access Dropbox and other online services. A trial “haphazard” which was successful if people use the same login / password for all services, which is extremely dangerous but unfortunately quite common.

Finally, while Dropbox denies responsibility and says the pirate threat is not real – according to the American, stolen codes do not match those used by its members on Dropbox – it is nevertheless advisable to change passwords once one is a member. Moreover, according to The Next Web, Dropbox itself had launched a wave of enforced code changes, prompting some of its members to change their password. For sure, this new controversy affecting Dropbox is a little more cut branding service, already eroded by similar incidents.

7 million accounts hacked Dropbox

A user says at Pastebin hacking seven million accounts on Dropbox . It would have recovered usernames and passwords. The remote hosting platform yet denies this. According to a document released Monday on the Pastebin website, a user indicates hacking 6,937,081 Dropbox accounts and published in part of his loot on this site. He published the email address and password of the latter. Dropbox defends itself by stating that there was no security breach within its service.

Pirates show stealing 7 million passwords within Dropbox

In addition, the online storage site states that the accounts concerned have been disabled to quickly protect user data. Or the hackers behind this new case have indicated that they would publish other databases when they allegedly received Bitcoins.

Dropbox ensures not have been hacked

Meanwhile, Dropbox denied any attempted intrusion and shows it in a blog post. The site would not have been the theft of IDs, e-mail addresses or passwords. He stated that this information has been stolen from other sites, not related to Dropbox accounts. The group said that hackers have tried to connect to others and Dropbox accounts but steps have been taken to detect any suspicious activity on Dropbox and passwords are automatically reset when such activity occurs. Users who use the same password to access different sites are however expected to change. Dropbox reminded to mix in a variety of password characters, numbers and insert case sensitive. The two-step activation is also available

Dropbox: 7 million stolen and published online identifiers – BFMTV.COM

After iCloud and Snapchat , it’s time for Dropbox to be targeted for hackers. Hackers claim to have “hacked” nearly 7 million accounts Dropbox and distill from Monday on the website Pastebin hundreds of logins and passwords.

A hacking openly interested in their message since the pirates give a Bitcoin address to which interested parties can send “donations”. “The more donations Bitcoin, there will be more publications on Pastebin,” they explain, as reports 01net.

Dropbox ensures that its servers do not been hacked

However, Dropbox denied having been hacked. Usernames and passwords were stolen from third parties accounts unrelated storage service, a bit like Snapchat and Snapsaved . “Then attackers use these stolen credentials to try to log on other sites, including Dropbox,” says the company.

7,000,000 Dropbox accounts hacked … or not – The Digital

New began circulating on the night of Monday to Tuesday: 7000000 Dropbox accounts were hacked, and associated identifiers for sale. The pirates, however, have not quite played fair: not only do these data are not derived from the online storage service, but they are far above all provide access to private files of someone <. / strong>
The case started on Pastebin, where 400 pairs of identifiers (email + password) were posted in the clear. The author of the publication stated then that this was a small sample of the spoils from a major hacking made against Dropbox servers. A quick test users interested sowed doubt: some pairs worked, others did not. The author, for his part, did not want to reveal more, except for a fee, and only in virtual currency.

Dropbox, however, quickly responded and indicated that the source was in no way servers . According to the online storage service, the proposed IDs were stolen from other services, while the functional pairs are simply the result of bad habits of Internet users, and often use the same password for multiple services. After verification of couples address and password available, the firm would even so: very few accounts would be affected, while suspicious activity would result in an automatic reset password. Not to worry, in short.

Of course, this is the story on the service in question, it is important for it to appear reassuring. It can not be, however, that advise caution. If you’re one of the – many – users who recycle their abundantly (s) word (s) password, a reset of the sesame will not perhaps unnecessary, while enabling two-factor authentication will not fail make life much more difficult for an intruder.

Note, however, that if the files are gone, it is not necessarily a hacker. Dropbox has indeed release this weekend about a different problem: the former clients of software malfunction restarts said client when certain parameters are applied selectively sync. As a result, in some cases, data is lost. This bug should however be solved by a simple update.

The parent of Free had nevertheless improved its offer, after being spurned for the first time in August. It provided a redemption of the entire shareholding of Deutsche Telekom stake in T-Mobile US, 67% of the shares. The proposed price was the same as the first offer submitted late July $ 33 per share. In total, Iliad was ready to put on, with its partners, $ 18 billion on the table to offer the American number four telecom and enter a market with juicy margins.

To achieve this, the group of Xavier Niel had managed to convince two major American investment funds, including KKR, to follow: according to our information, they had decided to bring $ 2.5 billion. Several major international banks were also ready to follow Iliad, including BNP Paribas and HSBC. The deal was finalized in early last week. And discussions with Deutsche Telekom to discuss the new offer had resumed last Thursday. After a few days of reflection, it is ultimately late Monday afternoon that the ax fell at T-Mobile and its parent.

No third offer

The price will certainly have been right folder Free. Since receiving the first offer of the French, Deutsche Telekom has always indicated that, besides the fact that he wished to give the most possible titles, he was not ready to give up his American assets less than $ 35 per share .

Annoyed, the French telecom operator has decided to throw in the towel, not bothering to work on a third offer. Its leaders have regularly suggested that they not be acharneraient for months to convince Deutsche Telekom to sell its American subsidiary. “ Iliad had the ambition to accelerate the transformation of T-Mobile US including the completion of more than $ 2 billion of annual cost savings. The transaction would create significant value for shareholders of Iliad and T-Mobile US “bitterly regretted the French group said in a statement last night.

Deutsche Telekom is going to wait a few months to possibly find a buyer for T-Mobile US. The authority of the American competition giving veto a takeover by Sprint, the case looks complicated. Unless the satellite operator Dish did put in the running. As for Xavier Niel, he will be able to refocus on its French business. This is not necessarily good news for its competitors.

In late July, Iliad said he was willing to pay $ 15 billion. to take a controlling stake (56.6% stake) in T-Mobile US subsidiary of the German Deutsche Telekom. According to press reports published in early October, Iliad preparing an extension of its offer after being turned down by Deutsche Telekom, which had not found satisfactory the original proposal of the French.

He said that “this new offer, about $ 36 per share, would have taken place as part of the financial policy of the Iliad Group in terms of debt and dilution.”

Despite the failure of its operation on T-Mobile US, the Group ensures that it “will continue its profitable growth policy as conducted for 15 years in the interest of its customers, its employees and its shareholders,” concluded the statement said.

Big Data: marketing and CIOs disagree – Newspaper on the Net

This is one of the main lessons drawn from a barometer IDC sponsored by EMC, on the field of Big Data in France.

Deployments for Big Data gaining momentum in France. According to a survey published for the second consecutive year by IDC (and sponsored by EMC), 43% of French IT organizations are involved in the deployment of infrastructure for processing mass data in 2014 they were only 7% in 2012 “So in 2012, companies were primarily interested in the analysis and storage of large data sets, in 2014 they focus on data retrieval and processing speed,” said IDC.

Differing priorities among CIOs and marketing

However, these projects do not go really smoothly, according to the barometer. It seems indeed that, as often, project priorities are not the same in terms of CIOs and marketing departments. 63% of marketing directors evoke the real-time processing as a strong need (particularly to strengthen innovation and improve productivity gains), against 33% of CIOs. The tone is set.

In addition, “marketers are 80% to position itself as the first stakeholder of a Big Data initiative”, to CIOs. And, “for ‘most one-third of marketing managers, Big Data projects can be undertaken without the intervention of the IT department,” says IDC said its study was conducted among 200 principals midsize in France (including 100 IT departments, marketing departments and 100.)

Snapchat wants to reassure faster after hacking into thousands of … – Les Echos

The startup denies responsibility and blames third-party applications

The weekend was long in Snapchat. Blamed after hacking of tens of thousands of photos shared on its service, the California start-up has had to step up. She has published a statement in which it accepts no liability in this incident, soon called “snappening” on social networks. “Snapchat servers were not affected, they are not the cause of this flight, has explained a spokesman. The “snapchatteurs” victims of this incident have been due to their use of third party applications, a practice we strictly forbid in our conditions, precisely because it calls into question the safety of our users . We closely monitor the App Store and Google Play to locate illegal third-party applications and have already managed to make several withdraw. “

Successful Snapchat, especially among young people (in the world, nearly 100 million people would use the application), has attracted the attention effect many developers. Some, for example, developed applications that are used to save photos received on Snapchat, supposed to fade after a few seconds. But the concept of Snapchat would be used by many to share photos daring, bare or watered parties …

Hackers have managed to penetrate the database of some of its unofficial applications, such Snapsaved (since closed) or Snapkeep. Several specialized forums, they then claimed their action, giving details of the scope of data they hold. This would make it possible to search for images by the username in all this mass of stolen photos. An even more important so that photos of celebrities pirated, which recently hit actresses like Jennifer Lawrence … At first scandal, hackers spoke of 100,000 pictures stolen and then 200,000. And while some have suggested a hoax, several users were able to download the database during the weekend and then repost, while the site that originally housed was closed

Strategy pressure

This is not the first time that security is blamed for Snapchat users. Late last year, 4.6 million phone numbers and identifiers of the service had been stolen and posted on a forum. In May, it is even the FTC, the American competition authorities, who accused Snapchat mislead users about the security of their personal data. The FTC already put forward the simplicity with which it was possible to save photos that should disappear …

These cases could undermine the ambitions of the new star of American tech, which valuation today would reach $ 10 billion, and last year had refused an offer to buy Facebook for $ 3 billion. There are some days Snapchat, which always generates no income, announced the upcoming launch of its advertising offering.

Pictures of 200,000 users Snapchat Were … – Inrocks

So we began slowly to turn the page “Fappening” this huge leak of photos of naked celebrities, now arrives the “Snappening” contraction “Snapchat” and “The Happening”, a film M. Night Shyamalan on a deadly and unexplained supernatural phenomenon. What a program.

October 9, several American media reports that between 100 000 and 200 000 photos sent via the app Snapchat were hacked and posted on 4Chan forum. The company does not deny but blames, in a press release on third apps:

“We can confirm that servers Snapchat have never been hacked , and are not the cause of the leakage. Snapchat users became victims after using third party applications to send and receive Snaps, a practice we expressly forbid our terms of use, precisely because it compromises the safety of our users. “

If Snapchat has always prided ensure maximum security to its users, including photos sent are expected to have a limited life span (maximum 10 seconds), the reality is much more complex. Several sites now explain how to do a screen capture of a Snap (capture classic screen not working), like this one, and so-called “third” apps allow you to save photos received. Among them SaveSnap, QuickSave, SnapSave. These are the apps that Snapchat has in its sights, allegedly hacked

On October 10, several Anglo-Saxon media -. Whose The Independent – a collection related photos of perfect strangers in their simplest device was published on the website viralpop.com since closed. Dozens of online users would still have had time to upload the photos and pursue their spread on the Web.

So hoax or not?

Difficult to check if history is a vast hoax as Internet like produce. Two experts in American technology, Sean Sullivan and Ashkan Soltani used the inverted Google search image (used to find the source of an image on the web) for more photos. Balance the races: some of them would drag on the Internet for several years and therefore have nothing to do with a possible “Snappening.” Both experts have questioned the way the American blogger Internet specialist Kenny Withers, documenting the case from the beginning, ensuring that he was the author of the hoax.

Meanwhile, Withers denied outright. He says on his blog have had confirmation from hackers 4chan the veracity of the “Snappening” and points out that insofar as download links photos may contain pornographic images (Snapchat widespread use by teens) the authors of the hack could face big trouble with the law and that in fact, therefore, not a party.

History does not favor app. In January, hackers called “white hat” (well intentioned) managed to steal 4.6 million users Snapchat data. Objective: To demonstrate the lack of security of an app yet often used to send nude pictures. Four months later, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the American policeman trade and competition, accused the company of lying to Internet users into believing the ephemerality of their photos.

For Microsoft CEO, women should not ask for … – Le Figaro

Satya Nadella apologized after holding controversial remarks on equal pay between men and women. “There should be more to trust the system,” he said.

How to have good karma when a woman is? Satya Nadella to, just do not ask for a salary increase. Microsoft CEO spoke Thursday at a conference on the role of women in the IT sector. When asked “what do you advise women who are afraid to ask for a raise?”, He simply said that they should abstain.

Improve the relationship with his employer

“The problem is not really asking for a raise,” said he said. “This is more confident in our system to reward your progress and your efforts at that time.” Satya Nadella added that he thought did not request an increase gave a “good karma” and could improve relationship with his employer. “This is the kind of person that I trust and I will give him more responsibility in the future,” he concluded.

These statements were immediately criticized in the room and on social networks. “I’m really horrified,” commented one user on Twitter. “Do Satya Nadella is so out of the reality of his own company to not realize how hard it is to be increased?” Asks another. In the United States, women earn on average 23% less than men. Therefore difficult for them to “trust the system” as Satya Nadella advises.

“It’s okay, I understand why women were paid less than men. They just more karma than us! “

Sexism in Silicon Valley

About Microsoft CEO spend even worse amid controversy about sexism in Silicon Valley and the technology industry in general. In large groups, inequalities are glaring: Google account, for example only 29% of women employees, a rate that falls to 17% in the category of engineers. Other businesses, such as Intel, Yahoo and HP have recently announced the composition of their employees to prove their good will as to promote diversity within their offices. This is however not the case with Microsoft.

In addition to the publication of these reports, the technology giants have launched various initiatives to encourage the hiring of women. On Wednesday, Facebook, Pinterest and Box have such partners as part of a mentoring program to guide young women in their career in the technology industry. Such operations widely reported in the media show that gender equality has become a real concern for companies image. More recently, Intel had to justify withdrawing its advertising from a site used video games forums feminists. “Intel believes in equality between men and women,” it said in a statement released by the group. “Diversity is an integral part of our strategy and our employment policy.”

In response to this criticism, as Satya Nadella somehow corrected this. In a tweet, he said that his words were not enough “articulated” and that the IT industry should be mindful of wage inequality between the sexes. “I said completely out of the question. If you think you deserve a raise, you have to ask “

The big gaffe that goes very badly for Satya Nadella. While this industry is often blamed for the differences in pay between men and women and a lack of diversity, both within companies and at the level of their leaders, improper remarks of the Chief of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, appeared particularly moved.

Invited to a conference in Arizona on women and computers, it has been questioned by a woman who asked her advice for those who want to advance in their careers but are uncomfortable to demand a wage increase.

Satya Nadella, in office since April, said that women should trust the ‘system which makes you grant to as good increases (pay). ” He then found that women who do not ask for wage increase have a “super-power” as a “good karma that will come back.”

The moderator of the debate, Maria Klawe , member of the management of Microsoft, pointedly disagreed with Satya Nadella, provoking applause from the audience

The awkward about Satya Nadella led to publicly apologize. “I responded poorly to this issue, “and said the boss of the American computer giant in a memo to employees posted on his Twitter account Thursday night.

” Men and women should receive equal pay for work equivalent. (…) If you think you deserve a raise, you should ask, “Has he added.

” I misspoke in my answer on how women should ask for a raise, “Mr. Nadella has written about hersatyanadella.

” Our industry must end wage inequalities, that way we will not need to ask to increase “Has he said.

The case comes as according to a recent study by a group of California-thinking, highly educated men working in Silicon Valley earn on average 73% more that women with equivalent qualifications

-. Culture ‘geek’ –

Microsoft reported earlier this year that its numbers were made up only 29% of women. An almost identical figure at Google (30%) and Facebook (31%).

In addition, only 18% of women get degrees in computer science today, down by half in 25 years (37 % in 1990).

“The technology sector is not a traditional outlet for women,” agrees Ariane Hegewisch, director of studies at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, which studies the issue of women in the labor market.

“There is not much evidence that karma has been very generous to women in this area,” she added in reference to what Satya Nadella.

Even if some of them in positions of responsibility, such as Marissa Mayer, Yahoo !, boss Meg Whitman, Executive Director at Hewlett-Packard, Safra Catz or co-president Oracle, the technology sector has become more difficult to access for women in the 1980s, still considers Ms. Hegewisch.

“+ + geek culture has become stronger and Culture + on- -all-the-night work + is also higher, so this may alienate women, “she says, lamenting that women are under-represented in all sectors of the technology industry, unlike other areas like finance for example.

“Women can study mathematics or science but rather they direct you to the traditional business, because the conditions of work and culture in the technology sector are hardly welcoming, “said Ariane Hegewisch yet.

What is worrying with the blunder of Mr. Nadella, she adds, is that he was speaking at a conference on the place of women in the IT industry: “This shows that it is not too aware of the debate, and it shows that from very far,” she said
