IBM has given its Watson Internet of Things (IoT) platform users an ultimatum: move over to another service or face disconnection. 

That’s according to The Register, which got its hands on a customer email claiming end of life for the IoT platform.

“Please note, devices will be unable to connect to the MQTT and HTTP endpoints and existing connections will be shut down. All remaining customers using this service should plan to move to alternative services before that time,” the statement read.

IBM's Watson woes

The Watson IoT platform was created to provide one central location for the management and monitoring of IoT devices, and has partnered with companies including Adesto Technologies, Geniatech Inc, and IOTech Systems, all of which are available to view on IBM’s partner finder website.

IBM is giving customers just one year to move to another IoT management platform, as the December 31, 2023 end date draws nearer.

Earlier this year, we reported that Google Cloud would also be closing its IoT Core. The company was under the impression that its “customers’ needs could be better served by [its] network of partners that specialize in IoT applications and services”, however the tech giant has been taking steps to make customers’ transitions less taxing. 

In a blog post, the cloud computing giant explained that “if a deprecation or breaking change is inevitable, then the burden is on [it - the company] to make the migration as effortless as possible.”

TechRadar Pro has contacted IBM to hear whether the company will be taking similar measures.

This isn’t the only Watson-branded product that IBM has decided to ditch, as in January it sold off Watson Health. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna later said that this was because it had failed to acquire the requisite vertical expertise in the healthcare sector, according to The Register.

India’s Ministry of Electronics and IT has removed a ban against the official website of popular media player application VLC Media Player that was instigated in February 2022.

As reported by TechCrunch, the announcement of the ban being lifted came not from the ministry, but from New-Delhi based advocacy group Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF), which provided the developers of VLC, VideoLan, with “legal support”.

The lifting of the ban may mark an end to the saga, although VideoLAN will no doubt continue searching for answers around a debacle that the company claims may have broken Indian law.

VideoLAN’s VLC ban response

It’s unclear whether VideoLAN filing a legal notice via the IFF last month, demanding a response from the Indian government, had any bearing on proceedings. 

In it, VideoLAN claimed that, according to India’s 2009 IT Blocking Rules, the government was legally required to provide a reason for the ban. Although the ban is no longer in place, it most likely still is.

> India’s restrictive VPN law should be a warning to us all

As part of the notice, VideoLAN requested a fair hearing to dispute the ban, and although that’s no longer necessary, the company may still feel aggrieved and decide to initiate legal proceedings.

Another bizarre implication of the ban is that it seems to go against the Indian government’s pledge to use open-source software as part of the ongoing Digital India initiative.

The ban itself was superficial, and easily circumvented by a VPN, as it only applied to the website where VLC is available, videolan.org. 

However, VideoLAN president and lead VLC developer Jean-Baptiste Kempf has previously told TechCrunch that the ban, introduced by several internet service providers (ISPs), was damaging to VLC’s reputation, as well as to new users, because they may have been pushed to websites that host potentially compromised versions of VLC.

Microsoft’s latest cumulative updates that were released earlier this week for Windows 11 broke a vital business security feature. The fix has not yet been published, but Microsoft expects to have one ready in the coming weeks.

As reported by BleepingComputer, the Redmond software giant recently acknowledged certain issues with the Kerberos authentication protocol after November's Patch Tuesday.

"After installing updates released on November 8, 2022, or later on Windows Servers with the Domain Controller role, you might have issues with Kerberos authentication," Microsoft said.

Failing to sign in

"When this issue is encountered you might receive a Microsoft-Windows-Kerberos-Key-Distribution-Center Event ID 14 error event in the System section of Event Log on your Domain Controller with the below text," the company explained.

BleepingComputer readers reported that the update breaks Kerberos, the default authentication protocol for domain-connected Windows endpoints, days previously.

One explained that the protocol breaks “in situations where you have set the ‘This account supports Kerberos AES 256 bit encryption’, or 'This account supports Kerberos AES 128 encryption’ Account Options set (i.e., msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes attribute) on user accounts in AD."

According to the report, some of the Kerberos authentication scenarios include domain user sign-in failing and affecting Active Directory Federation Services authentication in the process, Remote Desktop connections using domain users failing to connect, and several others.

The affected platforms include most Windows versions since Windows 7 (Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016, Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB, Windows 10 20H2, Windows 11 21H2), and some Server version (Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2022)-.

Home customers and users not enrolled in an on-premises domain are not affected by this bug, it was added. Furthermore, the flaw doesn’t impact non-hybrid Azure Active Directory environments, as well as those without an on-prem Active Directory server.

Several cybersecurity experts have highlighted potential data security issues ahead for attendees of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

The Norwegian government’s Head of Security Øyvind Vasaasen told NRK: “It's not my job to give travel advice, but personally I would never bring my mobile phone on a visit to Qatar", likening the scope of official apps to giving someone the keys to your house. 

Those wanting to make a trip to the Middle East to experience the tournament live will need to install a Covid-19 tracker dubbed "Ehteraz" on their smartphones, alongside "Hayya", a compulsory ticketing and transport app.

How do the apps work?

Vasaasen alleged that Ehteraz claims access “to several rights on your mobile, like access to read, delete or change all content on the phone, as well as access to connect to WiFi and Bluetooth, override other apps, and prevent the phone from switching off to sleep mode”.

Naomi Lintvedt, a research fellow at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Law, opined that if she were an employer, she wouldn't allow employees to work from their phones in Qatar.

In addition, France’s data protection authority CNIL suggested in Politico to "travel with a blank smartphone … or an old phone that has been reset” and that “special care should be taken with photos, videos, or digital works that could place you in difficulty with respect to the legislation of the country visited". 

UK regulators have also recognized the issue. A spokesperson from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) told The Register that it is "aware of media reports on this matter and we will consider the potential impact on the privacy rights of UK citizens", recommending that football fans check out the agency's data rights page.

The ICO didn’t offer any opinion on whether or not it was a good idea to bring a secondary "burner phone" for protection.

The price of cryptocurrencies might be surprisingly low these days, but cybercriminals don’t seem to be giving up on the novel technology. In fact, the number of malicious cryptocurrency miners skyrocketed in the third quarter of the year.

This is according to a new report from cybersecurity experts Kaspersky. In its latest report, the company says in Q3 2022, there has been a 230% rise in cryptocurrency miner variants, compared to the same period last year. Compared to Q3 2021, the number is up threefold. 

That being said, in Q3 2022 alone, there were more than 150,000 different cryptocurrency miners identified as in use by criminals. Their profits, according to the researchers, can go as high as 2 BTC per month which, at current prices, is around $32,000. Most of the time, cybercrooks are opting for monero, a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency that’s almost impossible to trace. 

Distribution via pirates

To distribute the miners, hackers are using platforms for the distribution of pirated content, such as movies, music, computer games, and commercial software. By masquerading the miners as cracks, activators, and even programs themselves, crooks are able to distribute the miners to a wide spectrum of victims.

Mining is a high-maintenance, low-margin operation. To engage in mining, one must have the latest computer hardware, plenty of electrical energy, and some bandwidth. With the cost of electricity going through the roof, and the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in significant decline, many legitimate miners are turning off their rigs and waiting for more profitable days.

However, by hijacking other people’s devices and electricity, criminals avoid the upfront cost of installation and generate pure profit, while the victims are left with underperforming endpoints and high electricity bills. The mining software is generally simple to compile, and can also be acquired on the dark web, relatively cheaply.
