Let's not. There's enough overcomplicated nonsense examples of cybersecurity in movies as it is. If you could compromise a device via bluetooth, then you could exfiltrate data via …

It's not inconceivable to suggest that the people claiming that the CSAM hadn't been removed knew it was still there not only because they'd never actually sent the request for rem…

"The Feeling of Power" IIRC.

It's amusing how the article says it's "potentially" in violations of US hacking laws. That practice is _definitely_ a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. No employer's …

Oh, one of my absolute favorite things is setting ServerTokens ProductOnly, so that scrubs will freak right out when they see their canned vuln scanner get bug-eyed and basically s…

Oh that app did a huge thing just by showing how far the administration is willing to go with its delusional fascist nonsense. The app was _barely_ functional and available on a mi…

The "disclosure" was a big waste of time. It was vague and ill-informed, nothing that came after seems to give the impression that they actually knew what they were talking about. …

Truth. A stripped down configuration of that running nothing but personally-written code on the backend would pretty much render those issues moot (as in "completely mitigated"). C…

They're getting that rate because of the reduced cost to support their connection to the grid per kWh. It's essentially the cost of the "packaging". If this is resulting in a loss …

These larger power-generation systems tend to be more efficient than smaller power-generation systems, not less, which should result in a cost decrease, not an increase. Tennessee …

This is completely missing the point. Until there's a substantial number of driverless cars on the roads, LPR systems will always equate to tracking people. You might as well argue…

Actually, I think the problem here is that he's reducing it to a cost-benefit analysis that applies to a single corporation alone. Corporations are notoriously short-sighted and ge…

Yeah but that app was just nightmarishly bad, including an absolutely terrible approach to roll-your-own push notifications. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained b…

...and yet no one seems to ever be able to replicate these results.

Maybe the FCC should explain this to some of the political spam culprits using hefty fines, because while those folks claim they honor "STOP" they send every campaign with a differ…

Are they seriously talking about /this/ Matrix? https://www.operation-passionflower.com/

In other news, yet another website fails at understanding that a hard redirect prior to a 404--instead of just issuing a 404 in the first place--is an idiotic practice that breaks …

Guess what happens when people take antihistamines... Lovely, lovely side effects. Side effects which are generally equally as annoying as the original problem. If one can treat th…

You're kidding, right? For people with allergies and/or chronic sinusitis, it's a thing they're taking for about a quarter of the year off and on. ...and they _will_ practically "c…

Absolutely. I have used the heck out of this on systems since I found out about rrsync.pl and read through the code to make sure it was using a solid approach. With a quick keypair…

Short answer: No.

No, stereotypes aside, hackers who code diligently tend to wrap their "actual work" schedule around their external obligations, and while the morning is generally filled with distr…

Maybe Satoshi just wants to live a life quieter than what he could possibly be living if everyone knew they controlled billions in really, really lightweight currency.

I wouldn't even hand it to normal, "stable" people without some guidance. Not everyone handles losing their marbles with grace and aplomb. It's not in the average person's skillset…
