    The vacancy rate of offices looks low because the big tech companies are still "occupying" them, but if go into many of them and they still look like ghost towns. Much more that of…

    GM delivered 457 total in Q1 but their CEO is given credit by Biden for “electrifying the entire automobile industry.” https://electrek.co/2022/04/01/gm-delivered-only-457-electri.…

    Probably not. No signs that this is linked to any mass activity.

    In this case we only obtained a Chrome exploit. Whether that means they didn’t have exploits for other platforms as part of this attack or that we just didn’t succeed in determinin…

    I think you’ll find TAG regularly gives assessment on attribution at least at the country level. Iran, China, Russia, Belarus and North Korea at least have been named in the last f…

    The appropriate people in the Google Geo organization are aware of this and are investigating / taking action.

    I've found that the most useful discussions I've had are around how the people up the ladder think about the junior persons area/projects and how it fits into the bigger picture. T…

    I'd also highly recommend the training course slides that are included in the Ghidra distribution. The "Advanced" course especially covers some cool tricks and ways Ghidra is diffe…

    You'd be surprised. I've seen a number of times where new managers used to just being one of the team don't realize that joking about performance, compensation or someone's job tak…

    It's a range of factors. Basically this warning means that what we detected ties in some way to wider activity that looks government backed. There's some border cases, but in pract…

    My team at Google is responsible for identifying the users we give these warnings to. Here's what I wrote last year to provide a bit more context: https://security.googleblog.com/2…
