Robocalling named Worst Scam of the Year with Increase in Tactic Expected this Holiday Season; Cybercriminal Underground Overflowing with Sensitive Data News highlights: 48 percent of Americans have been exposed to robocalling scams in 2019, opening them up to potential scams Other scams that Americans fell victim to during Holiday season hustle include email (41%) and text (35%) phishing Cybercriminal underground poses threat to consumers with more than 2.2 billion stolen account credentials made available for purchase in Q1 2019 30 percent of Americans have already lost more than $500 after experiencing a scam this year, holidays expected to increase consumer losses See the McAfee A Christmas Carol: Scam Edition digital assets, including videos and an infographic here SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, announced findings from its recent survey, A Christmas Carol: Scam Edition, revealing that nearly half (48%) of Americans have been a victim of or know someone who has been a victim of robocalling in 2019, making it the worst scam of the year and one to watch out for this Holiday season. While cybercriminal activity has grown in sophistication, scams of Christmas past are still haunting Americans today--respondents reported being targeted with email phishing (41%) and text phishing (35%). These scams along with robocalling are the top three prominent scams of the year. Together, these scams have hit Americans hard, with McAfee survey respondents admitting that these scams took a financial toll on them in 2019, with 74% losing more than $100 and almost a third (30%) losing more than $500. And according to McAfee Advanced Threat Research (ATR), more than 2.2 billion stolen account credentials were made available on the cybercriminal underground over the course of Q1 2019. This growing trend of personal online accounts for retailers being made available on the underground, and increasingly sophisticated threats means that the 2019 Holidays could be the most dangerous yet for consumers. “Just like your family, cybercriminals have holiday traditions and they are constantly looking for ways to take advantage of holiday shoppers,” said Gary Davis, Chief Consumer Security Evangelist at McAfee. “While most consumers believe that cyber-scams become more prevalent during the holiday season, a third don’t actually take any steps to change their online behavior. It is crucial that we are mindful of potential risks and take the proper steps to protect ourselves this holiday season.” As consumers use their devices and apps for everyday tasks, like holiday shopping, streaming TV shows and food delivery services, they are sharing more personal information than ever before. By targeting popular consumer apps, cybercriminals are able to collect and store key data, including home addresses, credit card information and account passwords. This adds a layer of complexity to cybersecurity that consumers didn’t face years ago and adding to the potential of that information being used for malicious activity sometime in the future. One new trend that is set to hit unsavvy consumers hard this Holiday season is phony gift cards, with McAfee’s ATR team seeing phony gift cards sold on the cybercriminal underground. Yet, the survey found that not even half (43%) of respondents are aware of bogus gift cards. Consumers are also not doing their own due diligence when it comes to checking shopping websites. According to McAfee research, over one-third (37%) of respondents admit that they do not check an email sender or retailer’s website for authenticity. Tips to stay safe this holiday season: Never reuse passwords. With just one hack, cybercriminals can get their hands-on thousands of passwords, which they can then use to try to access multiple accounts. Stop and pause. Instead of clicking on a link in an email, it is always best to check directly with the source to verify an offer or shipment. Browse with security protection. Use comprehensive security protection, like McAfee Total Protection, which can help protect devices against malware, phishing attacks and other threats. It includes McAfee WebAdvisor, which can help identify malicious websites. Use a tool to help protect your personal information. A solution like McAfee Identity Theft Protection takes a proactive approach to help protect identities with personal and financial monitoring and recovery tools to help keep identities personal and secure Survey Methodology: McAfee commissioned 3Gem to conduct a survey of 1,000 adults in the U.S. over the age of 18 between October 10-20, 2019.

Collaboration will focus on improving sintering profiles for metals 3D printed on ExOne systems Standard sintering profiles to be based on metal type and part size, mass and other features Collaboration on display at Formnext 2019, the world’s leading additive manufacturing event NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ExOneAccelerates--The ExOne Company (Nasdaq: XONE), the global leader in industrial sand and metal 3D printers using binder jetting technology, is expanding its collaboration with two companies — Elnik Systems, the global leader in debind and sinter equipment, and DSH Technologies, LLC, a global leader in debind and sinter process consulting — to improve standardization of sintering for metals 3D printed with binder jetting. ExOne’s family of metal 3D printers are capable of printing more than six qualified metal powders, including the popular stainless steels 316L, 304L and 17-4PH, into dense, solid parts. A variety of beta metals are also being fast-tracked through the Company’s strict qualification process, such as Inconel 718 and 625. To earn qualification, a metal must deliver repeatable, desirable performance in both 3D printing and sintering. The expanded collaboration between ExOne, Elnik, and DSH will focus on improving sintering profiles for metal parts 3D printed on ExOne binder jetting systems. Standard profiles will be based on metal type, as well as part features, including size, mass and other geometric elements. The companies will also co-develop an easy-to-use interface that will automatically load, or allow a user to select, sintering profiles. “ExOne metal 3D printers already deliver industry-leading density and repeatability, and now we’re working to ensure that the final sintering step is as easy as possible for our customers — a seamless end-to-end process that delivers a quality result,” said John Hartner, ExOne CEO. “We’re proud to work with Elnik Systems, the leaders in debind and sinter equipment and services, on enhancing the quality of our solutions.” “We are honored to be collaborating with the experienced ExOne team on technology enhancements for metal binder jetting technology,” said Stefan Joens, Elnik President/DSH Vice President. “Elnik’s introduction of all metal partial pressure furnaces has transformed the processing capabilities of the metal injection molding (MIM) industry, and we are excited to bring this technology to the metal AM industry. DSH Technologies has been providing real world solutions focused on customers-specific issues for 20 years.” Understanding Binder Jetting Binder jetting is a mature 3D printing process that uses a digital file to quickly inkjet a binder into a bed of powder particles — metal, sand or ceramic — creating a solid part one layer at a time. When printing metals, the final part must be sintered in order to fuse the particles together into a solid object. Compared to other manufacturing methods, binder jetting is a fast and low-waste method of making precision metal parts and products. What’s more, it offers new design freedoms not previously possible. While sintering metal powders is a common manufacturing process, and ExOne customers successfully sinter parts today, the design freedom offered by 3D printing is creating new challenges in sintering green metal parts that deliver predictable dimensional tolerances and meet other requirements. The process often involves some trial and error with sacrificial parts. The new collaboration with Elnik aims to standardize and simplify this end-to-end process. At Formnext 2019, both ExOne and Elnik will showcase metal parts that were binder jet 3D printed on ExOne systems and sintered in an Elnik furnace. ExOne and Elnik are both located in Hall 12.0. ExOne is at Booth C21, while Elnik is at Booth B69. About ExOne ExOne is a global provider of 3D printing machines, 3D printed products, materials and services to industrial customers.

Engaging the world's fastest supercomputer to challenge cutting-edge scientific applications became one of the unforgettable experiences for many participating students and greatly stimulated their enthusiasm for technological innovation. “I can definitely say that participating in the ASC Challenge has changed my life,” said Marcin Mielniczuk from the University of Warsaw, “It’s a very unique experience to compete on the Sunway TaihuLight.” “The ASC competition has become the world’s most fascinating supercomputing competition for college students, attracting more than 1,000 young people from different cultures all over the world every year and allowing them to grow fast through a fierce competition,” remarked Vangel Bojaxhi, Executive Director of ASC. “This effectively promotes academic and talent exchanges across borders and further facilitates the cultivation of HPC&AI talents around the world.” In fact, the role of ASC competition in the cultivation of top supercomputing talents has been recognized by more and more universities and regarded as an important supplement to undergraduate education. Also, ASC experience has become a highly valued item for admission applications to many world-renowned universities. “This allows all students to add a bright touch to their resumes,” said Alexander Ditter, the advisor of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg team, “as not too many college students can claim to have received allocations and run workloads on the world's fastest supercomputers.” “I have participated in the world’s major supercomputer competitions for college students. Compared with similar competitions, ASC is by far the most intense one,” said Jack Dongarra, the Chair of ASC Advisory Committee, and Distinguished Professor at the University of Tennessee, USA. “ASC is very meaningful for the development of supercomputing, since it is very likely to influence the future direction of students and guide their career development.” Furthermore, the ASC20 will hold its first briefing session during the International Conference for High Performance Computing 2019 (SC19) on November 21. The host of the competition, as well as details on the competition system and schedule, will be announced at that time. At the same time, universities from all over the world may also register for the competition at the scene. About ASC The ASC Student Supercomputer Challenge is the world’s largest student supercomputer competition, sponsored and organized by Asia Supercomputing Community in China and supported by Asian, European, and American experts and institutions. The main objectives of ASC are to encourage exchange and training of young supercomputing talent from different countries, improve supercomputing applications and R&D capacity, boost the development of supercomputing, and promote technical and industrial innovation.

Consumer Concerns with Durability, Size, & Enhanced Use Cases Are Barriers to Adoption, Finds Strategy Analytics BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foldable devices are a long-awaited disrupter in the smartphone market, exciting leading edge early adopters keen for a bold new type of device. But the acceptance of foldable devices by mainstream segments will depend on the extent to which the current barriers to adoption are addressed. Assessing consumer desire for foldable smartphones, a new report from the User Experience Strategies group at Strategy Analytics has found that the perceived value of the foldable form does not outweigh the added cost. Key report findings include: The idea of having a larger-displayed smartphone in a portable size is perceived as valuable to the vast majority of consumers in the UK and the US. But, willingness to pay extra for a foldable device does not align with the desire to purchase one. Manufacturers must understand that there will be low sell-through until costs come down. But as the acceptance for traditional smartphone display sizes continues to increase, so does the imposed friction of trying to use them one-handed. Unless a foldable phone has a wider folded state, entering text when closed is too cumbersome, forcing users to utilize two hands to enter text, when in the opened state. Use cases need to be adequately demonstrated for consumers to fully understand and appreciate the potential for a foldable phone, though their priorities seemed fixed on promoting ‘two devices in one’ equaling a better video viewing experience. Identification and promotion of meaningful new use cases will be vital to success. Christopher Dodge, Associate Director, UXIP and report author commented, “As multitasking will look to be a core selling point for foldable phones, it is imperative that the execution be simplified and intuitive. Our data suggests there are a lot of uncertainties that come with foldable phone ownership, stemming mainly from concerns with durability and size, in addition to concerns over enhanced use cases.” Continued Dodge, “But our data also shows that when the consumers are able to use a foldable phone in hand, there is a solid reduction of doubt and concern about the concept. This means that the in-store experience may more important than ever in driving awareness, capabilities, and potential use cases.” Added Paul Brown, Director, UXIP, “The big question is whether the perceived value will outweigh the added cost; and the initial response from consumers is ‘no.’ The ability for foldable displays to resolve real consumer pain-points is, in our view critical to whether these devices will become a niche segment of the smartphone market or the dominant form-factor of the future. Until costs come down, these devices will not take off.” About Strategy Analytics Strategy Analytics, Inc. provides the competitive edge with advisory services, consulting and actionable market intelligence for emerging technology, mobile and wireless, digital consumer and automotive electronics companies.

Spectra TFinity Tape Library functions as an active archive for more than 60 petabytes of research data at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, enabling future expansion BRACKNELL, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectra Logic today announced that the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has deployed a Spectra® TFinity® ExaScale Tape Library in its Scientific Data Centre facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, with an initial capacity of 65PB and the scalability to meet future data demands. The Spectra TFinity library was deployed to function as an active archive for storing and managing the vast volumes of data from CEDA (the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis), which includes a unique environmental science supercomputer and data facility known as JASMIN, and from IRIS, an e-Infrastructure for astronomy and particle physics research. The UK’s STFC is a world-leading multidisciplinary science organisation that supports an academic community of approximately 1,700 people who work in the UK and worldwide. Its Scientific Computing Department (SCD), based in the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), aims to drive improvements for scientific research. It manages high-performance computing facilities and services, developing the infrastructure that allows STFC to process huge volumes of data. The department is home to STFC’s Scientific Data Centre, which hosts the JASMIN facility and the IRIS project. SCD needed to increase its data storage and management capacity with a solution that could also run continuously and handle requests from multiple applications concurrently. "Our new Spectra tape library will allow the massive volumes of environmental data we collect to be made available to environmental scientists and support their research for many years to come," said Professor Bryan Lawrence, JASMIN principal investigator, University of Reading. The new Spectra TFinity Tape Library has an initial capacity of 65PB, with 48 drive bays and a mixture of 17 open-standard LTO-8 tape drives and 16 IBM® TS1160 tape drives. By implementing the latest tape drive technology in the new storage system, the SCD is prepared for future expansion. The TFinity tape library can handle simultaneous requests either by using multiple partitions in the library, or by having multiple robotic interface modules (RIMs) active in the same partition. Redundancies such as multiple tape access robots, power supplies, control paths and power distribution units mitigate failure and ensure the system will be able to run continuously, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Provides developer-friendly automation for application teams deploying to Kubernetes MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & HYDERABAD, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HyScale today made its app delivery automation tool open-source for development teams who are looking for a friction-free way of deploying to Kubernetes. The open-source move underlines HyScale’s commitment to the app development community that wants to adopt Kubernetes but has to follow a script-heavy, error-prone deployment process. This distracts development teams away from the app, and work on creating k8s deployment files. HyScale simplifies deploying to k8s by providing a service-centric spec, and getting the app URL in return, saving time and effort in dev-testing cycles before taking it to production. HyScale is an initiative of Pramati Prism Inc., the Mountain View-based startup accelerator arm of Pramati Technologies. HyScale, a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is available at hyscale.io. “Developer experiences with k8s are quite complex; there is a clear need for app-centric Kubernetes abstraction and well-defined automation for clear handoff between the dev teams and IT,” said Anoop Balakuntalam, head of HyScale. “With HyScale, developers can now easily deploy their apps to k8s without having to navigate through the associated complexities or write and maintain voluminous manifests and scripts.” Speaking of Pramati’s foray into the open-source community, Vijay Pullur, Co-founder & CEO of Pramati Prism, said, “Making Kubernetes accessible to the developer community is an important milestone for us. For two decades now, Pramati has shown commitment to making developers more productive by bringing the best of breed tools and platforms to market. Our goal has always been to eliminate complexity in technology adoption.” Kubernetes continues to witness rapid acceptance across industry verticals for improved cost economics, scalability, and portability of deployments across multiple cloud environments. However, in terms of actual adoption, typical app development teams face steep learning curves, extensive and complex maintenance and ambiguity in ownership, all resulting in slower time to market. HyScale brings to life the belief that all complexity around app deployments can eventually be eliminated and automated. HyScale is currently available at hyscale.io. An enterprise edition is also available with additional capabilities around CI/CD, multi-cloud, change tracking, and DevSecOps. About HyScale HyScale is an application delivery tool that automates deployment and abstracts Kubernetes complexities. It helps developers deploy apps to Kubernetes without having to navigate its complexities or write and maintain long manifests. The enterprise edition allows IT teams to control and manage enterprise-wide continuous deployments to multi-cloud Kubernetes. HyScale is a portfolio product of Pramati Prism, the Mountain View-based startup accelerator arm of Pramati Technologies. To know more, visit http://www.hyscale.io or follow us on twitter @hyscaleio.

Display.land turns the everyday smartphone camera into a connected, world-scale 3D scanner and editor that gives anyone the creative and publishing power of professionals in the gaming, VFX and 3D graphics industry. Introducing Display.land With Display.land, Ubiquity6 has pioneered new ways for anyone with a smartphone to interact and reimagine the spaces they care about. Users can recreate any real-world environment in a photo-realistic, shared, digital space by simply capturing the environment with their mobile camera. They can then use Display.land’s built-in editing tools to author and publish immersive creations ranging from interactive architectural annotations and spatial photo albums to rich, animated scenes that can be instantly viewed from any web browser across mobile, desktop and VR devices with a simple URL. This happens through a combination of mobile video, motion and GPS sensors on your smartphone, Ubiquity6 then creates a life-scale 3D scene in real time anywhere in the world. “Display.land is the world’s first user-created destination of shared, persistent virtual spaces at 1:1 scale with the real world,” said Anjney Midha, CEO and Co-Founder of Ubiquity6. “Since launching in beta, we’ve seen the Display.land community map and share thousands of real-world spaces in over 50 countries, from graffiti-filled streets in Barcelona and coffee shops in Tokyo to secret gardens in London and underground bunkers in Sausalito. Every day, the people of Display.land learn new things about each others’ cultures from around the globe by sharing the spaces they love. We’re blown away by the positivity and creativity of the community, even at this early stage. We can’t wait to welcome more of the world to Display.land as we expand our AR, VR and 3D creation tools for the community over the coming months.” Ubiquity6’s technological breakthroughs have previously stumped industry incumbents, including the ability to have a massively shared augmented reality experience that persists through time. These breakthroughs use the most advanced machine learning technology to precisely locate the phone and its physical surroundings. Display.land is built on Ubiquity6’s Reality Engine, an end-to-end cloud pipeline that combines cutting edge computer vision and machine learning, real-time 3D graphics and persistent, multiplayer networking. Created by Ubiquity6’s team with alumni from Stanford, Twitter, Zynga, and Unity among others, the Ubiquity6 Reality Engine enables cross-platform, massively shared, persistent experiences across AR and VR from any device. "People love hanging out, interacting and creating together in shared spaces like arcades, playgrounds and studios,” said Bing Gordon, the co-founder of Electronic Arts and Partner at Kleiner Perkins. “The super-promise of the Internet is to bring that quality of social connection online. Display.land makes it easier than ever before to recreate a space you love, share it with friends and build it into whatever you want together. It’s a mix of persistent world building games with real friends and real world spaces." Digital video and photos from the experience are available here. Available for Download Starting today, anyone can enter Display.land by downloading the app which is available on iOS and Android. Additionally, anything you create and share on Display.land is available via the browser, no download required, as all the spaces can be shared via open web links. Users can capture a video, edit and annotate the space with notes, 3D art, and photos and then share their Display.land creation as a link with anyone. Capturing is simple, keep your phone steady while walking around the space you want to capture at a steady pace. Display.land is available today for download on iOS and Android; more information can be found at Display.land. About Ubiquity6 Ubiquity6 aims to unlock new ways for people to create and connect by merging the digital and physical worlds. With augmented reality as the foundation, Ubiquity6 will elevate how humans connect with each other and the world around them, ultimately creating the spatial internet.
