Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group plans to launch Emut Bank in early 2027 as the first digital bank affiliated with a major Japanese financial institution to eliminate ATM cards, "instead having customers confirm identities using the bank's smartphone app for additional security amid a rising tide of cyberattacks," reports Nikkei Asia Review. The smartphone app will also be the only way to manage deposits, with no PC-based banking. From the report: Security has become a greater concern recently. As artificial intelligence advances, Japan has seen a surge in cyberattacks targeting companies, as well as a rise in phishing attacks aimed at stealing personal information, often targeting bank accounts. The technology being used by Emut was developed by Seven Bank, the consumer finance unit of Seven & i Holdings, operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores. Emut customers will be able to withdraw money from Seven Bank's roughly 28,000 ATMs. The network is expected to gradually expand to cover the 16,000 or so ATMs at FamilyMart convenience stores. Although MUFG Bank ATMs will not be accessible, MUFG will consider changing this in the future.
Scrapping cash cards represents a shift in what has for decades been consumers' main method of withdrawing money. The former Sumitomo Bank -- a predecessor of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. -- is believed to have been Japan's first bank to implement cash cards, in 1969. The step away from cash cards by MUFG, Japan's largest financial institution, is likely to spur other banks to follow suit. [...] Eschewing cash cards will reduce Emut's costs, which will let it offer interest rates on deposits that are expected to be higher than MUFG Bank's usual 0.5%, depending on the terms. Interest can be paid out daily, rather than twice a year -- a first for a Japanese bank.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Canva is cutting or relocating more than 1,200 jobs, representing 22% of its global workforce, as part of a major restructure that includes laying off staff who helped build the Australian-founded design platform. The changes mirror a trend across the technology sector, where software companies are fighting to stay competitive against cheaper artificial intelligence disrupters while aggressively embedding AI tools themselves.
[...] The restructure will affect 1,271 people, according to the company, as it focuses on "collapsing layers" and bringing "more teams together in person." [...] Those leaving Canva will receive at least six months of salary and retain healthcare coverage for a further 12 months in countries where workers receive that benefit. They can also keep their laptops. Those leaving can also apply for US$10,000 (A$14,000) grants to start their own ventures. Canva's chief executive, Melanie Perkins, said the restructure was "without doubt the hardest moment in our thirteen-year history."
"For some people, this will mean changes to their roles or being asked to relocate to centralized hubs," she said. "Sadly, it will also mean saying goodbye to teammates and friends who have helped build Canva into what it is today."

De hoofdverdachte van de explosie aan de Haagse Tarwekamp eind 2024 wilde wraak nemen op zijn ex-vriendin vriendin. Als hij haar bruidswinkel, beneden in de flat, zou vernielen kon hij haar „financieel kapot” maken. Door de explosie kwamen zes mensen om en raakten veel mensen dakloos.

As first reported by The Register, VMware has returned to the low-end server virtualization market with a product called "vSphere Express." The product will run on up to 128 processor cores and includes vMotion to allow live migration of VMs, automated restart of failed VMs, a distributed switch, rapid non-disruptive patching, and support for physical and virtual trusted platform modules. "We have been listening to the market at the low end, and they want a basic core server virtualization platform," said Prashanth Shenoy, vice president of product marketing in Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). He explained that each instance of vSphere Express will be discrete, meaning it won't be possible to manage them centrally. "This is tested for small implementations," he told The Register. "We do not want a customer to run this on thousands of cores." Shenoy said the vSphere Foundation (VVF) enterprise virtualization product, and Cloud Foundation (VCF) private cloud suite, are appropriate for users with more complex needs. vSphere Express will, however, match the release cadence of VVF and VCF. Under Broadcom’s ownership, VMware has enormously reduced the number of resellers in its channel program, meaning it no longer has partners who are a good fit for this product. The virtualization giant will therefore sell vSphere Express through its distributors, most of which now operate cloud marketplaces at which affiliated resellers can acquire software – an arrangement channel folk call "two tier distribution." We asked VMware to tell us the price it will charge for vSphere Express. A spokesperson told us it will offer a per-core subscription license at a price "significantly lower" than VVF or VCF but declined to quote a dollar amount. "We encourage interested customers to reach out to their local reseller for information related to pricing and subscription terms," the spokesperson wrote. VMware has also bulked out VVF and VCF a little, by adding disaster recovery and policy-based networking for virtual private clouds that it previously sold as add-ons. Shenoy pitched the additions as demonstrating VMware's intention to add value to VVF and VCF, in part by ensuring the bundles include tools that users are likely to consider represent essential functionality. The Broadcom business unit will also add new features, such as native AWS S3-compatible object storage for its VSAN virtual storage. That update, due in calendar Q1 of 2027, means VSAN will become a more convenient platform on which to store the unstructured data that AI workloads rely on, therefore boosting the utility of VMware's AI Factory. VMware also plans to make its AI Factory easier to implement. "The idea is to focus more on AI, less on setup," Shenoy said. Analysis: A welcome low-end return faces an uncertain reception VMware's return to the low-end server virtualization market may not be well-received, because it has largely ignored users of its existing low-end vSphere Standard product for the last few years, and irritated many by insisting they upgrade to the more expensive and complex VCF. The virtualization giant also cast aside thousands of resellers. When The Register chats with members of the VMware community, we often hear that trust in the vendor has diminished. Your correspondent therefore feels that vSphere Express will get a mixed reception. Many vSphere Standard users will welcome a more appropriate and affordable upgrade option, especially as it means they won't need to learn new skills. Other users and former partners will wonder if, having been bitten by Broadcom once, they should now be a little shy of vSphere Express. Broadcom shareholders should be enthusiastic, as VMware's decision not to sell to the low end of the market blocked its onramp to new users. The chips 'n' code shop now has another way to get VMware growing, if it can restore trust. ®

Noname057(16) en Z-Pentest Alliance eisten de verantwoordelijkheid op via berichtenservice Telegram, maar hun berichten zijn inmiddels verwijderd. Ook worden de beweringen met de nodige scepsis ontvangen door experts.
Russische groeperingen worden niet uitgesloten, zeggen de experts tegen de Britse omroep. Maar volgens hen kunnen het ook Iraanse hackers zijn, of zelfs tieners die een grap uithalen. Uit onderzoek van het Franse cyberdefensiebedrijf Sequoia blijkt wel dat de aanval overeenkomt met activiteiten van Russische hackgroepen en de Russische overheid. Maar het onderzoek wijst ook op hackers van het Iraanse regime.
In minstens elf landen in Europa werden koelsystemen geraakt door cyberaanvallen deze week. Onder meer vriezers en koelkasten in supermarkten hadden te maken met een aanval waarbij de temperaturen opliepen.
