ET Cyber Monday Deals: Lenovo UHD gaming laptop $1200, XPS 8700 with 750Ti $1000, Chromebox $130, more

Cyber Monday is here, and along with it some of the best deals for online shoppers this year. We’ve collected some of the best ones out there for you today, so sit back and enjoy the savings – but don’t sit too far back, because many of these deals will end tonight (and you’ll want to be on your toes, of course). Lenovo Y50 15.6-inch UHD 3840×2160 Core i7 laptop with GTX 860M for $1199.99 (normally $1499.99 – use coupon code BFRIDAY56 ) Fully equipped with a Core i7-4710HQ processor and 2GB Nvidia GTX 860M graphics card, this rig would have fit right in with our gamers deals from yesterday. One thing it’s got that none of those laptops had, however, is a crisp UHD 3840×2160 resolution display, providing you with exceptional pixel density. It also includes 8GB RAM for solid multitasking and a 1TB hybrid hard drive with an 8GB SSD cache for ample storage and speedy boot and resume times. With a backlit keyboard, dual-band WiFi, USB 3.0 ports and JBL sound, this is a

"Operation Clandestine Fox" is being used to attack PCs.

Hackers have attacked the government agencies, defense contractors, energy companies and banks by exploiting the software flaw in Internet Explorer. That's according to FireEye ( FEYE ) , the cybersecurity firm that revealed the software flaw last week. The company discovered that hackers took advantage of a bug in the Internet Explorer Web browser to secretly take control of computers. The cyber offensive has been dubbed "Operation Clandestine Fox," and affects all versions of Microsoft's ( MSFT , Fortune 500) Web browser. Microsoft has issued a fix, but FireEye's announcement on Thursday showed there are already victims. FireEye also spotted that hackers are now specifically targeting older computers running on the outdated Windows XP operating system and those using the Internet Explorer 8 version of the browser. Among those still using Windows XP are the Defense Department, the IRS, and bank ATMs. That's a problem, because Mi

Storing The Future

We store enormous amounts of data today and that is generally a good thing. The problem: we store on disk drives that may last five or six years and may be economic for three. That is not even a medium-term solution. So researchers have been searching for more. Whatever intelligent beings follow us may have some interest in the nature of our culture. This is the goal of the Human Document Project. Researchers at Hitachi Data Systems recently demonstrated quartz storage, readable by optical microscopes, with an expected life of millions of years. But there is a new entrant in the race for long live storage. Researchers investigated a tungsten disk encapsulating silicon nitride which should last at least 1 million years. This dwarfs even the 1,000 year DVD. Why bother? Homo Sapiens is only a few hundred thousand years old. We may not make it to 1 million years before we either destroy ourselves or evolve into another species. Whoever or whatever intelligent beings

REvil Group Hacked

The government has successfully hacked the hacking group REvil, the entity behind the ransomware that’s been linked to leaked Apple leaks, attacks on enterprise software vendors, and more, according to a report from Reuters. The outlet’s sources tell it that the FBI, Secret Service, Cyber Command, and organizations from other countries have worked together to take the group’s operations offline this month. The group’s dark web blog, which exposed information gleaned from its targets, is also reportedly offline. Reports about the group going offline started surfacing earlier this week, with TechCrunch writing that its Tor website was no longer available on Monday. There was speculation of a hack, fueled by a forum post from one of the group’s suspected leaders saying that its server was “compromised,” but at the time, it was unclear who was responsible. Reuters cites sources that say the government’s operation against ransomware hackers, including REvil, is still ongoing. "The US
