    Fortunately not a whole of of data and for sure with a little bit like that there wasn't anything important, confidential or embarrassing in there. Looking forward to Microsoft's i…

    Pentests where people actually get out of bed to do stuff (read code, read API docs etc) and then try to really hack your system are rare. Pentests where people go through the moti…

    I've invented plenty of stuff that 100's of millions of people use every day. Whether I get credit or not doesn't really matter to me. It paid for more than half my life (and those…

    If you are aware of SAP breaking the GDPR and it's being swept under the carpet or if enforcement is lackluster given the scope of the problem then please supply some evidence. Tha…

    Infrastructure needs maintenance, culpability only makes sense if there are enough funds for such maintenance and if there is an organization level compatible with the kind and sco…

    Russia has given each and every excuse that you could possibly come up with in 2014 and again in 2022. If you're a defense industry consultant I'd expect you to be more than conver…

    Interesting. I routinely have 100's of tabs open on a 10+ year old thinkbook with 16G in it (they were only sold with 8 at the time but replacing the two 4G modules with 8G modules…

    If you aggressively (and I mean really aggressively) block any and all ads you'll find that you can use that 15+ year old machine just fine on the web. The bloat is mostly in the m…

    Never before in the history of mankind was a group so absolutely besotted with the idea of putting themselves out of a job.

    I would be surprised if that weren't the case, but then again, it may have been arranged but it won't be acted upon. It will be an interesting time in Russia in the next couple of …
