I think the phrase 'the cloud is not your computer' is actually useful, since literally it is true and forces people to consider that they should be careful with data management si…

Does anyone know if Telegram will ever move away from relying on phone numbers for authentication?

The motives for explanation 2 are currently not known. MBS might have had numerous reasons, ranging from WaPo or AWS. But regardless, there could have been many reasons to target B…

There were also claims of android keyboardd being used to log messages on Signal (and maybe Telegram), by Naomi Wu and others. No proof for this though.

Assuming Tor Browser, just change Tor circuit, ctrl+l (I believe), until you get one without captcha (works after 2-3 times usually). Only use Google search when absolutely necessa…

Think he means DYR, do your research.

An honest question - What outcomes would there be if countries like Spain decide one day to impose exorbant taxes, like those totalling $1b annually for Google? Would it just be ch…

I'm laughing too. Its all opportunistic as Disney+ is hot on the news right now. Wait till they find out that these tools are cracking Hulu, Reddit etc etc, probably also the BBCs …

I'm sure other forms of exchange, for example, USD to GC, can still be used to launder money. This is not exclusive to cryptocurrency as you would imply.

Google has already been sued for linking health data, so this should certainly raise eyebrows for those interested, and I wouldn't expect Google to have any free pass here either.

SAP and Salesforce would love to, but haven't achieved Oracle-free status to the joy of Larry.

Sorry to say but Wikipedia is far from a neutral source.

Basically, I gathered from the indictment that they had a 'WAF misconfiguration', which I take to be SSRF allowing her to obtain temporary AWS credentials from the metadata endpoin…
