West Midlands police to reduce number of officers on the beatBritain’s second-biggest force to undergo radical changes such as move to ‘digital policing’, owing to budget cuts and rise in domestic and online crimeThe move could prove politically sensitive but West Midlands chief constable Chris Sims says it is justified because a proportion of crime has moved off the streets and into the home and online. The force is increasingly focused on a range of domestic crimes, such as the abuse of vulnerable people, internet fraud, domestic abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation as well as increasing its level of child protection.“Now, threats and harms are not based on street-based issues. 50% of cases in Birmingham magistrates’ court are domestic abuse,” Sims said.

Router company D-Link has patched two separate vulnerabilities in its firmware that could be exploited remotely and lead to takeover and arbitrary code execution.Routers under the DCS-93xl umbrella, including the DCS-930L, DCS-931L, DCS-932L, and DCS-933L models, contain a hole that enabled remote authenticated attackers to upload their own files – in the location of their choosing – to the device. This could allow an attacker to create, modify or delete information. The router company recently fixed three critical security vulnerabilities in a multitude of its home routers... Model numbers DIR-626L, 808L, 820L, 826L, 830L, and 836L were all updated to reflect the fixes over the past two weeks or so.
How do I update the firmware on my DSL router?
