Windows 10 is transferring more data to Microsoft than those responsible for data privacy in businesses and public administration should be willing to allow. Read more about this in an article by our CTO Lukas Grunwald in today’s new iX and online at heise.de/newsticker.
Our customers can check their infrastructure for talkative Windows10 installations using the new scan configuration. With that, they can verifiy unwanted telemetry settings and do a compliance check on blithering Windows10 Home and Pro versions or unsafe Windows10 Enterprise versions.
TalkTalk UK fined for having failed to apply “the most basic cyber security measures”. The damage of its reputation is measured: they lost about 100,000 customers. The loss in profit is measured: it went down by 55%. The cost of the breach is estimated to be between £40 and £45 million. All that for a vulnerability which was known for three years by the time of breach. With GDPR in place, the fine could have been higher (4% of their revenue of £1.83bn)
