La société Bitconnect a fait beaucoup parler d’elle en 2017, avant de s’effondrer magistralement en début d’année. Accusée d’être une pyramide de Ponzi par ses détracteurs, des actions de groupe ont été montées à l’encontre de cette société et les plaignants accusent Youtube de négligence, la plateforme ayant été largement utilisée par les promoteurs de Bitconnect.

Le Rapport Check Point sur les tendances des cyberattaques au premier semestre 2018 révèle que 42 % des entreprises dans le monde entier sont touchées par des attaques d’extracteurs de cryptomonnaie, tandis que le nombre d’attaques sophistiquées de 5e génération contre les infrastructures dans le Cloud augmente.

A couple of weeks ago, we released a new capability in Parasoft SOAtest called the Smart API Test Generator. I was geeked. This technology is legitimately groundbreaking — it uses artificial intelligence to convert manual UI tests into automated API tests so you don’t need expertise in API testing or even the ability to write any code at all to get started. It’s all script-less, and it’s activated through a simple plugin for Chrome, so you don’t have to install a large toolset in order to use it.

However, at the STAREAST testing conference back in May, where I gave a long talk about how awesome this technology is, I kept encountering people ask me how this was different from record and replay technologies that already exist on the market.

If you can’t find it on Google, you will definitely find it on the Dark Web. Black markets on the Dark web are not known for just buying drugs, it is a massive hidden network where you can buy pretty much anything you can imagine—from pornography, weapon, and counterfeit currencies, to hacking tools, exploits, malware, and zero-days. One such type of underground marketplace on Dark Web is

I have written previously about making use of the Big 3 Clouds for both build/test/deploy of apps but also as a desktop replacement for developers. In the time since those blogs, Amazon has announced the general availability of their much awaited EKS service (of which CloudBees was a launch partner).

Myself and others often like to talk about the "oligopoly" of cloud providers, given the size and muscle of the companies behind them:
