EU says widespread use of geoblocking may breach antitrust rules
EU antitrust regulators said on Thursday they may take action against online and electronic retailers restricting cross-border sales within the bloc but only on a case-by-case basis.Following a year-long investigation into the sector, the European Commission preliminary report showed that geoblocking, where retailers prevent online shoppers in some countries buying cheaper products or services abroad, is widespread, due in part to agreements between retailers and content providers.The so-called e-commerce sector inquiry is part of the European Commission’s campaign to overhaul the 28-country bloc’s digital market in a bid to boost growth and catch up with the United States and Asia.The EU executive also found manufacturers increasingly use selective distribution and contractual sales restrictions, such as price restrictions and curbs on online sales, to better control their products.”These practices can prevent European consumers from reaping the full benefits of e-commerce in terms of greater choice and lower prices,” Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.

Sophisticated hackers ‘aim to put net out of action’
Unidentified hackers are carrying out a campaign to find out how to take down the net, warns a security expert.In a blogpost, security guru Bruce Schneier said “precisely calibrated” attacks on key net firms had been seen for over a year.The attacks sought weaknesses in the defences of organisations that oversaw critical parts of the net, he said.He said his “first guess” was that either China or Russia was behind the series of attacks.Responding to his comments, one security firm said the range of attacks he described was “the new normal” for many organisations.The hackers used well-known distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks to probe defences, wrote Mr Schneier.’Worrying pattern’These attacks typically seek to knock a site offline by overwhelming it with data. They are often used by extortionists who threaten to cripple a site via DDoS unless its owners pay a fee.

Mackens test av iPhone 7 Plus kommer imorgon
Mackens recension och test av nya iPhone 7 Plus kommer 12.00 imorgon fredag.
Jag kommer att sammanfatta mina första intryck i en första del. Det blir en lite mer övergripande, summerande text som del ett. Sedan kommer jag att skriva en specialartikel där jag testar den nya kameran. Den är ju som bekant helt ny med dubbla linser och jag ska testa den mot en Nikon systemkamera tänkte jag för att se vad nya kameran verkligen klarar av.
12.00 imorgon kommer alltså del 1.
