| Hello and welcome to the Computerworld UK Weekly Digest. This week's news has been dominated by Apple, as the world's most valuable company announced three new smartphones. Apple tends to suck up a lot of oxygen when their big events come around and this was no different, despite the announcements all being basically upgrades to existing products, you can listen to our podcast for a roundup of the announcements though. Elsewhere the UK's mass surveillance regime was dealt another blow by the European Court of Human Rights as privacy groups continue to push back against invasive snooping attempts from the government. For anyone watching the excellent Bodyguard on the BBC, this is a very current topic. In more IT-centric news Laurie Clarke dug into Magecart, the hacking group that has been implicated in the recent high-profile data breaches at British Airways and Ticketmaster, as well as a deep dive from Tom Macauley on how Netflix became the poster child for AWS cloud services a whole ten years ago! DATA BREACH OF THE WEEK: We are still digging into the high profile BA breach, but an interesting tidbit was reported by ITPro this week that The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is receiving 500 reports of data breaches per week since GDPR came into effect. ICYMI: Tamlin Magee rounds up British Airways' disastrous summer of IT failures. Thanks for reading and, as always, please do get in touch with feedback, tips, and thoughts. |
