Meralco-owned Radius Telecoms launch DDoS scrubbing center in Hong Kong

Radius Telecoms, Inc., a subsidiary of Meralco, has launched a Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) scrubbing center at its international point of presence in Hong Kong.  This move enhances their cybersecurity protection for enterprise customers by filtering malicious traffic, which floods websites with fake traffic to overwhelm the target website. Radius partnered with Singapore’s Nexusguard, a leading DDoS cybersecurity solutions provider, and Total Information Management (TIM), a Filipino IT equipment and peripherals supplier, to enhance its ability to manage malicious attacks on its network. According to Nexusguard’s 2024 Autumn Report, there has been a surge in DDoS attack size and duration, as shown by the 135% increase in average attacks and 163% increase in duration year over year.

Microsoft Phone Link lets iPhone users use iMessage on Windows PC

Microsoft-Phone-Link

Right on schedule, the Microsoft Phone Link app is now available for iPhone users that will allow them to send and receive messages using iMessage, receive calls, and see app notifications using their Windows PC.

The new Phone Link app update is now available in 85 countries, which includes the Philippines. It lets you connect your iPhone using Bluetooth so you can send and reply to messages, make calls, and see notifications from your Windows laptop or PC.

Microsoft was able to do the messaging feature by intercepting incoming messages over Bluetooth and sending them by utilizing how Apple forces you to send text messages to other iMessage users.

It’s a pretty smart workaround, albeit, Phone Link will not allow you to see the full chat history or join group iMessage conversations.

The said feature should be available automatically to Windows 11 users. If the iOS option is not available, simply check if all the latest updates were installed.

Then, on the iOS device, simply download the Link to Windows app available on the Apple App Store. It works with iOS 14 and up, but sadly, no iPad or macOS support.
