45 Drives Adds Linux-Powered Mini PCs, Workstations To Growing Compute Lineup

✇Slashdot

Tobias Mann reports via The Register: Canadian systems builder 45 Drives is perhaps best known for the dense multi-drive storage systems employed by the likes of Backblaze and others, but over the last year the biz has expanded its line-up to virtualization kit, and now low-power clients and workstations aimed at enterprises and home enthusiasts alike. 45 Drives' Home Client marks a departure from the relatively large rack-mount chassis it normally builds. Founder Doug Milburn told The Register the mini PC is something of a passion project that was born out of a desire to build a better home theater PC. Housed within a custom passively cooled chassis built in-house by 45 Drive's parent company Protocase, is a quad-core, non-hyperthreaded Intel Alder Lake-generation N97 processor capable of boosting to 3.6GHz, your choice of either 8GB or 16GB of memory, and 250GB of flash storage. The decision to go with a 12-gen N-series was motivated in part by 45 Drives' internal workloads, Milburn explains, adding that to run PowerPoint or Salesforce just doesn't require that much horsepower. However, 45 Drives doesn't just see this as a low-power PC. Despite its name, the box will be sold under both its enterprise and home brands. In home lab environments, these small form factor x86 and Arm PCs have become incredibly popular for everything from lightweight virtualization and container hosts to firewalls and routers. [...] In terms of software, 45 Drives says it will offer a number of operating system images for customers to choose from at the time of purchase, and Linux will be a first-class citizen on these devices. It's safe to say that Milburn isn't a big fan of Microsoft these days. "We run many hundreds of Microsoft workstations here, but we're kind of moving away from it," he said. "With Microsoft, it's a control thing; it's forced updates; it's a way of life with them." Milburn also isn't a fan of Microsoft's registration requirements and online telemetry. "We want control over what all our computers do. We want no traffic on our network that's out of here," he said. As a result, Milburn says 45 Drives is increasingly relying on Linux, and that not only applies to its internal machines but its products as well. Having said that, we're told that 45 Drives recognizes that Linux may not be appropriate for everyone and will offer Windows licenses at an additional cost. And, these both being x86 machines, there's nothing stopping you from loading your preferred distro or operating system on them after they've shipped. These workstations aren't exactly cheap. They start at $1,099 without the dedicated GPU. "The HL15 will set you back $799-$910 for the bare chassis if you opted for the PSU or not," adds The Register. "Meanwhile, a pre-configured system would run you $1,999 before factoring in drives."

Thoma Bravo To Take UK Cybersecurity Company Darktrace Private In $5 Billion Deal

26 avril 2024 à 22:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Darktrace is set to go private in a deal that values the U.K.-based cybersecurity giant at around $5 billion. A newly formed entity called Luke Bidco Ltd., formed by private equity giant Thoma Bravo, has tabled an all-cash bid of $7.75 per share, which represents a 44% premium on its average price for the three-month period ending April 25. However, this premium drops to just 20% when juxtaposed against Darktrace's closing price Thursday, as the company's shares had risen 20% to 5.18 pounds in the past month. Founded out of Cambridge, U.K., in 2013, Darktrace is best known for AI-enabled threat detection smarts, using machine learning to identify abnormal network activity and attempts at ransomware attacks, insider attacks, data breaches and more. The company claims big-name customers including Allianz, Airbus and the city of Las Vegas. After raising some $230 million in VC funding and hitting a private valuation of $1.65 billion, Darktrace went public on the London Stock Exchange in April 2021, with an opening-day valuation of $2.4 billion. Its shares hit an all-time high later that year of 9.45 pounds and plummeted to an all-time low of 2.29 pounds last February. But they had been steadily rising since the turn of the year and hadn't fallen below 4 pounds since the beginning of March. The full valuation based on Thoma Bravo's offer amounts to $5.3 billion on what is known as a full-diluted basis, which takes into account all convertible securities and is designed to give a more comprehensive view of a company's valuation. However, the enterprise value in this instance is approximately $4.9 billion, which includes additional considerations such as debt and cash positions. [...] The deal is of course still subject to shareholder approval, but the companies said that they expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2024. "The proposed offer represents an attractive premium and an opportunity for shareholders to receive the certainty of a cash consideration at a fair value for their shares," Darktrace chair Gordon Hurst said. "The proposed acquisition will provide Darktrace access to a strong financial partner in Thoma Bravo, with deep software sector expertise, who can enhance the company's position as a best-in-class cyber AI business headquartered in the U.K."

Judge Dismisses Superconductivity Physicist's Lawsuit Against University

26 avril 2024 à 21:20
A judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by superconductivity physicist Ranga Dias against his employer, the University of Rochester in New York. From a report: In February, a university investigation found that he had committed scientific misconduct by, among other things, fabricating data to claim the discovery of superconductors -- materials with zero electrical resistance -- at room temperature. Dias filed the lawsuit against the university for allegedly violating his academic freedom and conducting a biased investigation into his work. On 19 April, Monroe County Supreme Court justice Joseph Waldorf denied Dias's petitions and dismissed the lawsuit as premature. The matter "is not ripe for judicial review," Waldorf wrote, because, although Rochester commissioned an independent review that found Dias had committed misconduct, it has not yet finished taking administrative action. The university provost has recommended that Dias be fired, but a final decision is still forthcoming. A spokesperson for the university said Rochester was "pleased" with the justice's ruling, and reiterated that its investigation was "carried out in a fair manner" and reached a conclusion that it thinks is correct. Nature's news team reported on Rochester's investigation previously: three scientists external to the university conducted a 10-month probe into 16 allegations against Dias and determined that the physicist had committed plagiarism, and data fabrication and falsification related to four scientific papers, including two published in Nature. Normally, the details of the investigation would probably have remained confidential. But in response to Dias's lawsuit, the university submitted the entire report as a court exhibit, making it public.

The head of Britain's domestic intelligence agency warned the country's leading research universities on Thursday that foreign states are targeting their institutions and imperilling national security. The Record: "We know that our universities are being actively targeted by hostile actors and need to guard against the threat posed to frontier research in the most sensitive sectors," said the deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden, who also attended the briefing. The threat requires "further measures," said the deputy PM, who announced that the government was launching a consultation with the sector so it could "do more to support our universities and put the right security in place to protect their cutting-edge research." The briefing was delivered by Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, alongside Dowden and the National Cyber Security Centre's interim chief executive, Felicity Oswald. It was made to the vice-chancellors of the Russell Group, a collective of the country's 24 leading universities. Among the range of measures being considered is having MI5, the domestic security agency, carry out security vetting on key researchers involved in a "small proportion of academic work, with a particular focus on research with potential dual uses in civilian and military life."

TSMC Jumps Into Silicon Photonics, Lays Out Roadmap For 12.8 Tbps COUPE On-Package Interconnect

✇AnandTech
26 avril 2024 à 20:00

Optical connectivity – and especially silicon photonics – is expected to become a crucial technology to enable connectivity for next-generation datacenters, particularly those designed HPC applications. With ever-increasing bandwidth requirements needed to keep up with (and keep scaling out) system performance, copper signaling alone won't be enough to keep up. To that end, several companies are developing silicon photonics solutions, including fab providers like TSMC, who this week outlined its 3D Optical Engine roadmap as part of its 2024 North American Technology Symposium, laying out its plan to bring up to 12.8 Tbps optical connectivity to TSMC-fabbed processors.

TSMC's Compact Universal Photonic Engine (COUPE) stacks an electronics integrated circuit on photonic integrated circuit (EIC-on-PIC) using the company's SoIC-X packaging technology. The foundry says that usage of its SoIC-X enables the lowest impedance at the die-to-die interface and therefore the highest energy efficiency. The EIC itself is produced at a 65nm-class process technology.

TSMC's 1st Generation 3D Optical Engine (or COUPE) will be integrated into an OSFP pluggable device running at 1.6 Tbps. That's a transfer rate well ahead of current copper Ethernet standards – which top out at 800 Gbps – underscoring the immediate bandwidth advantage of optical interconnects for heavily-networked compute clusters, never mind the expected power savings.

Looking further ahead, the 2nd Generation of COUPE is designed to integrate into CoWoS packaging as co-packaged optics with a switch, allowing optical interconnections to be brought to the motherboard level. This version COUPE will support data transfer rates of up to 6.40 Tbps with reduced latency compared to the first version.

TSMC's third iteration of COUPE – COUPE running on a CoWoS interposer – is projected to improve on things one step further, increasing transfer rates to 12.8 Tbps while bringing optical connectivity even closer to the processor itself. At present, COUPE-on-CoWoS is in the pathfinding stage of development and TSMC does not have a target date set.

Ultimately, unlike many of its industry peers, TSMC has not participated in the silicon photonics market up until now, leaving this to players like GlobalFoundries. But with its 3D Optical Engine Strategy, the company will enter this important market as it looks to make up for lost time.

Noise From Traffic Stunts Growth of Baby Birds, Study Finds

Noise pollution from traffic stunts growth in baby birds, even while inside the egg, research has found. From a report: Unhatched birds and hatchlings that are exposed to noise from city traffic experience long-term negative effects on their health, growth and reproduction, the study found. "Sound has a much stronger and more direct impact on bird development than we knew before," said Dr Mylene Mariette, a bird communication expert at Deakin University in Australia and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science. "It would be wise to work more to reduce noise pollution." A growing body of research has suggested that noise pollution causes stress to birds and makes communication harder for them. But whether birds are already distressed at a young age because they are affected by noise, or by how noise disrupts their environment and parental care, was still unclear. Mariette's team routinely exposed zebra finch eggs for five days to either silence, soothing playbacks of zebra finch songs, or recordings of city traffic noises such as revving motors and cars driving past. They did the same with newborn chicks for about four hours a night for up to 13 nights, without exposing the birds' parents to the sounds.

Millions of IPs Remain Infected By USB Worm Years After Its Creators Left It For Dead

✇Slashdot
Par : msmash
26 avril 2024 à 19:22
A now-abandoned USB worm that backdoors connected devices has continued to self-replicate for years since its creators lost control of it and remains active on thousands, possibly millions, of machines, researchers said Thursday. ArsTechnica: The worm -- which first came to light in a 2023 post published by security firm Sophos -- became active in 2019 when a variant of malware known as PlugX added functionality that allowed it to infect USB drives automatically. In turn, those drives would infect any new machine they connected to, a capability that allowed the malware to spread without requiring any end-user interaction. Researchers who have tracked PlugX since at least 2008 have said that the malware has origins in China and has been used by various groups tied to the country's Ministry of State Security. For reasons that aren't clear, the worm creator abandoned the one and only IP address that was designated as its command-and-control channel. With no one controlling the infected machines anymore, the PlugX worm was effectively dead, or at least one might have presumed so. The worm, it turns out, has continued to live on in an undetermined number of machines that possibly reaches into the millions, researchers from security firm Sekoia reported. The researchers purchased the IP address and connected their own server infrastructure to "sinkhole" traffic connecting to it, meaning intercepting the traffic to prevent it from being used maliciously. Since then, their server continues to receive PlugX traffic from 90,000 to 100,000 unique IP addresses every day.

Captchas Are Getting Harder

Captchas that aim to distinguish humans from nefarious bots are demanding more brain power. WSJ: The companies and cybersecurity experts who design Captchas have been doing all they can to stay one step ahead of the bad actors figuring out how to crack them. A cottage industry of third-party Captcha-solving firms -- essentially, humans hired to solve the puzzles all day -- has emerged. More alarmingly, so has technology that can automatically solve the more rudimentary tests, such as identifying photos of motorcycles and reading distorted text. "Software has gotten really good at labeling photos," said Kevin Gosschalk, the founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, which designs what it calls "fraud and abuse prevention solutions," including Captchas. "So now enters a new era of Captcha -- logic based." That shift explains why Captchas have started to both annoy and perplex. Users no longer have to simply identify things. They need to identify things and do something with that information -- move a puzzle piece, rotate an object, find the specter of a number hidden in a roomscape. Compounding this bewilderment is the addition to the mix of generative AI images, which creates new objects difficult for robots to identify but baffles humans who just want to log in. "Things are going to get even stranger, to be honest, because now you have to do something that's nonsensical," Gosschalk said. "Otherwise, large multimodal models will be able to understand."

DaVinci Resolve 19 prend désormais en charge les circuits graphiques

✇MiniMachines.net

26 avril 2024 à 19:03

Minimachines.net en partenariat avec TopAchat.com

DaVinci Resolve 19 est un logiciel de montage vidéo performant, complet, efficace et qui a le bon goût d’être absolument gratuit. Il existe deux versions de ce logiciel. La première est la version Studio, qui est payante et qui ajoute des tonnes de fonctionnalités très avancées. La seconde est la même, sans ces fonctions avancées mais qui est absolument gratuite.

Et DaVinci Resolve 19 a beau être gratuit, ce n’est pas un logiciel qui fait dans la demie mesure. On peut tout faire avec. Du montage de vidéo multipistes sur des projets très lourds, de la correction et de l’étalonnage de couleurs, des effets spéciaux, de la correction et modification de son, du rendu de qualité et tout ce que l’on demande à un logiciel professionnel de montage vidéo. En fait DaVinci Resolve est un logiciel professionnel de montage vidéo, tout simplement.

Une des nuance qui existe entre la version Studio et la version gratuite depuis toujours est la prise en charge des circuits graphiques pour effectuer des calculs de décodage des fichiers que vous employez. Sur la version Studio, les cartes graphiques sont gérées pour exploiter leurs capacités de calcul massives afin d’accélérer les temps de traitement. C’est un argument fort pour pousser les gens a passer à la version payante du logiciel. Quand vous avez des rushes enregistrés dans des formats exigeants, il faut beaucoup trop de ressources pour  que des processeurs seuls s’en sortent confortablement. Un film UltraHD en H.265 par exemple, si vous mélangez plusieurs de ces flux et demandez au logiciel de faire de la correction de couleur ou autre en prime, votre processeur sera à genoux pendant votre montage. Mettant parfois plusieurs secondes  a afficher le rendu de votre image à l’écran. Et cela même si vous avez une carte graphique surpuissante dans votre PC puisqu’elle ne sera pas prise en compte par le logiciel.

La détection des dialogues automatisée de Studio permet de générer des sous titres automatiquement

Cette version 19, encore en Beta pour le moment, permet donc de profiter de ce décodage matériel assuré par les circuits graphiques et cela change considérablement la donne. La version Studio existe toujours  et elle est encore vendue à un tarif très raisonnable de 330€ TTC en une licence unique.

Pourquoi Blackmagic a t-il décidé d’abandonner cet avantage aux utilisateurs qui ne payent pas de licence ? Probablement parce que ces derniers temps la marque a rajouté des tonnes de nouvelles fonctions liées à l’IA pour la version Studio. Et que ces nouveaux éléments font désormais suffisamment la différence. La version Studio propose des effets d’image comme la réduction de bruit et la correction automatique de couleurs suivant des scénarios. Elle propose également des fonctions de reconnaissance de la voix et de sous-titrage ainsi que des éléments de tracking d’objets, de floutage d’arrière plan, des fonctions de travail collaboratif et autres. Autant de fonctionnalités qui ont pris clairement le relais comme des avantages suffisants pour leur offre payante. Cet usage intelligent et impressionnant de l’IA est peut être le meilleur argument pour le nom choisi par la marque, c’est vraiment de la « magie noire » quand on le découvre.

Caméra et panneau de contrôle signés BlackMagic Design

Il y a également le fait que Blackmagic se sert de son lofgiciel pour vendre du materiel : consoles de montage, d’étalonnage mais aussi ensemble de materiel de studio et de caméras. Des éléments qui montent régulièrement en gamme et qui filment à des définitions de plus en plus élevées dans des formats de plus en plus exigeants. Pour que sa version gratuite de Resolve ait du sens, il est nécessaire qu’elle puisse gérer ces outils de manière efficace. Et cela passe par la prise en charge des circuits graphiques.

Pour télécharger Davinci Resolve 19, cela se passe par ici.

GNOME Foundation To Focus On Fundraising After Years Running A Deficit

The GNOME Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the GNOME desktop environment, has been operating at a deficit for several years, depleting its financial reserves. Robert McQueen, the foundation's president, has announced plans to increase fundraising efforts in a new blog post. McQueen adds: As you may be aware, the GNOME Foundation has operated at a deficit (nonprofit speak for a loss -- ie spending more than we've been raising each year) for over three years, essentially running the Foundation on reserves from some substantial donations received 4-5 years ago. The Foundation has a reserves policy which specifies a minimum amount of money we have to keep in our accounts. This is so that if there is a significant interruption to our usual income, we can preserve our core operations while we work on new funding sources. We've now "hit the buffers" of this reserves policy, meaning the Board can't approve any more deficit budgets -- to keep spending at the same level we must increase our income.

Chinese Drone Maker DJI Might Get Banned Next in the US

U.S. authorities consider DJI a security threat. Congress is weighing legislation to ban it [non-paywalled link], prompting a lobbying campaign from the company, which dominates the commercial and consumer drone markets. The New York Times: DJI is on a Defense Department list of Chinese military companies whose products the U.S. armed forces will be prohibited from purchasing in the future. As part of the defense budget that Congress passed for this year, other federal agencies and programs are likely to be prohibited from purchasing DJI drones as well. The drones -- though not designed or authorized for combat use -- have also become ubiquitous in Russia's war against Ukraine. The Treasury and Commerce Departments have penalized DJI over the use of its drones for spying on Uyghur Muslims who are held in camps by Chinese officials in the Xinjiang region. Researchers have found that Beijing could potentially exploit vulnerabilities in an app that controls the drone to gain access to large amounts of personal information, although a U.S. official said there are currently no known vulnerabilities that have not been patched. Now Congress is weighing legislation that could kill much of DJI's commercial business in the United States by putting it on a Federal Communications Commission roster blocking it from running on the country's communications infrastructure. The bill, which has bipartisan support, has been met with a muscular lobbying campaign by DJI. The company is hoping that Americans like Mr. Nordfors who use its products will help persuade lawmakers that the United States has nothing to fear -- and much to gain -- by keeping DJI drones flying. "DJI presents an unacceptable national security risk, and it is past time that drones made by Communist China are removed from America," Representative Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York and one of the bill's primary sponsors, said in an emailed statement this month.

Some Android-powered TVs can expose the contents of users' email inboxes if an attacker has physical access to the TV. Google initially told the office of Senator Ron Wyden that the issue, which is a quirk of how software is installed on these TVs, was expected behavior, but after being contacted by 404 Media, Google now says it is addressing the issue. From the report: The attack is an edge case but one that still highlights how the use of Google accounts, even on products that aren't necessarily designed for browsing user data, can expose information in unusual ways, including TVs in businesses or ones that have been resold or given away. "My office is mid-way through a review of the privacy practices of streaming TV technology providers. As part of that inquiry, my staff discovered an alarming video in which a YouTuber demonstrated how with 15 minutes of unsupervised access to an Android TV set top box, a criminal could get access to private emails of the Gmail user who set up the TV," Senator Ron Wyden told 404 Media in a statement.

Le fichier des empreintes digitales sera interconnecté avec huit autres fichiers

FAED y verse

Un décret vient de modifier les dispositions réglementaires relatives au fichier automatisé des empreintes digitales (FAED) afin de permettre des interconnexions avec huit autres fichiers français et européens. Il porte également à 40 ans la durée maximale de conservation des données, pour tenir compte de la prescription de 20 ans.

Le ministère de l’Intérieur explique que le décret modifie les dispositions réglementaires relatives au traitement FAED, précise les finalités du FAED et les catégories de données pouvant être enregistrées, actualise les catégories de personnes pouvant accéder au traitement ou être destinataires des données, ainsi que les durées de conservation des données relatives aux infractions les plus graves, et modifie les droits des personnes concernées pour les mettre en conformité avec le RGPD.

Dans son avis, la CNIL relève que le fichier contenait, fin décembre 2022, plus de 6,5 millions d’empreintes de personnes identifiées en tant que mises en cause (contre 4,8 millions en 2014, et 2,25 en 2004), ainsi que 293 831 empreintes d’origine inconnue et non identifiées.

Elle note que le décret met fin à l’ « interdiction de principe » des mises en relation qui prévalait jusqu’alors, dans la perspective d’une interconnexion des fichiers de police aux niveaux national et international.

Sont en particulier concernées les mises en œuvre du système d’information Schengen (SIS) et du système ECRIS-TCN (pour European Criminal Records Information System – Third Country Nationals, un système centralisé de concordance/non-concordance destiné à compléter la base de données existante des casiers judiciaires de l’UE – ECRIS – sur les ressortissants de pays tiers condamnés dans l’Union européenne).

Comme nous l’avions déjà rapporté, il est prévu que le FAED fasse l’objet d’interconnexions, de rapprochements ou de mises en relation avec plusieurs autres fichiers français et paneuropéens :

  • le traitement d’antécédents judiciaires (TAJ), qui comportait en 2018 les données de près de 19 millions de personnes « mises en cause » ;
  • les logiciels de rédaction des procédures de la police nationale (LRPPN) et son équivalent de la gendarmerie nationale (LRPGN) ;
  • le dossier pénal numérique (DPN), qui vise à rassembler les données et informations collectées tout au long du processus judiciaire pénal ;
  • le système national d’information Schengen (N-SIS) qui, en 2019, répertoriait 91 millions de « signalements » et avait fait l’objet de 6,6 milliards de recherches par les États membres ;
  • le fichier des personnes recherchées (FPR), qui répertoriait en 2019 « environ 642 000 fiches actives pour 580 000 personnes », une même personne pouvant faire l’objet de plusieurs fiches ;
  • le casier judiciaire national (CJN), qui dénombrait 5 119 654 personnes condamnées en 2017 ;
  • le système d’entrée et de sortie (EES, pour Entry/Exit System), qui vise à remplacer la pratique actuelle de tamponnage manuel des passeports par l’enregistrement électronique dans une base de données centrale des informations biographiques et biométriques.
Entry/Exit System (EES)
eu-LISA

La CNIL relève cela dit que, depuis 2015, des exceptions étaient déjà prévues par le décret en vigueur :

  • concernant le traitement CASSIOPEE (pour Chaine Applicative Supportant le Système d’Information Oriente Procédure pénale Et Enfants, qui contient des informations relatives aux plaintes enregistrées dans le cadre de procédures judiciaires), pour permettre la mise à jour du FAED lorsque l’autorité judiciaire demande l’effacement des données ;
  • dans le cadre de la coopération internationale en matière de police judiciaire.

Le ministère de l’Intérieur précise qu’à ce jour, l’interconnexion avec le N-SIS ne permet qu’une alimentation manuelle des fiches de signalisation, mais que ce processus sera à l’avenir automatisé. De même, la transmission d’informations dans le TAJ sera réalisée ultérieurement au moyen d’une interconnexion pour automatiser les fusions de dossiers.

Plus d’interconnexions de fichiers = plus d’erreurs

Europeans 'Less Hard-Working' Than Americans, Says Norway Oil Fund Boss

Europe is less hard-working, less ambitious, more regulated and more risk-averse than the US, according to the boss of Norway's giant oil fund, with the gap between the two continents only getting wider. FT: Nicolai Tangen, chief executive of the $1.6tn fund, told the Financial Times it was "worrisome" that American companies were outpacing their European rivals [non paywalled link] on innovation and technology, leading to vast outperformance of US shares in the past decade. "There's a mindset issue in terms of acceptance of mistakes and risks. You go bust in America, you get another chance. In Europe, you're dead," he said, adding that there was also a difference in "the general level of ambition. We are not very ambitious. I should be careful about talking about work-life balance, but the Americans just work harder." His views are significant as the oil fund is one of the largest single investors in the world, owning on average 1.5 per cent of every listed company globally and 2.5 per cent of every European equity. Its US holdings have increased in the past decade while its European ones have declined. US shares account for almost half of all its equities compared with 32 per cent in 2013. The leading European country -- the UK -- represented 15 per cent of its equity portfolio a decade ago but just 6 per cent last year.

Encrypted Email Service Files DMA Complaint Claiming It Vanished from Google Search

Tutao, known for the encrypted email service Tuta Mail, has filed a Digital Markets Act (DMA) complaint to the EU over an alleged de-ranking in Google Search. From a report: Google Search rankings are all too familiar to search engine optimization (SEO) specialists charged with ensuring web pages rise to the top of search results. In the case of Tutao's products -- Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar -- all was going well until the beginning of March 2024, when the company claims tuta.com was abruptly de-ranked in Google Search. Rather than being displayed as a search result of thousands of keywords, the count dropped to the hundreds, the developer alleges. Matthias Pfau, co-founder of Tuta Mail, said: "This reduction in Google Search took us by surprise as we did not change anything on our website during that time. We tried to reach out to Google about this issue, but were met with radio silence." Google denies the claims. It told The Reg: "Search ranking updates absolutely do not aim to preference Google products, or any other particular website. The email provider in question is easily accessible globally on Search. We appreciate the feedback and will look into how we can ensure Search continues to return the most helpful, relevant results." Tuta Mail's Pfau claims a change in results mean that when a user searches for "encrypted email," Tuta's products no longer show up. However, he went on to allege that if you search for "Tuta" or "Tutanota," the company appears in the results.
