That argument doesn't hold up. If it did security researchers who publish findings in commercial products would all have been sued by now. Many countries have fair use exemptions to prevent copyright holders from engaging in the kind o

If I find a bug on my own I can do as I please with it. I have no obligation to inform the vendor. I can write an exploit and publish it, share it with my friends, or sell knowledge of it to whomever I please. The vendor has zero right to m

I find it unsurprising that once again AV software itself has been exploited. AV is by nature complex and highly privileged. AV has been regarded by many in the security community as a net negative. In this case it's unclear whether th

I learned of this man recently from several different Chinese people in China. All are quite interested in listening to what he has to say. Personally I have no idea how much, if any, of what he says is true, but even if he's lying tha

I propose the CEOs payment is put on hold, behind all other creditors. Until all lawsuits are settled and all the creditors arising from them are paid in full he shouldn't see a dime of that money. In several years time, if anything re

It would be nice to see a table of the things one cannot legally say in different countries.

If there were only 1 channel on TV, that channel would be very popular! If Google or Facebook were given a monopoly on chat by the US government, and hardly anyone had credit cards, then their wallets would be universally popular too. WeCha

That would mean that in all of the ports of entry to the United States only 82 phones per day were searched. That's absolutely ridiculous. There are approximately that many international airports. Just airports. Nevermind the enormous

Is the list of patents Facebook thinks are used by react even disclosed?

If "Show security notifications" is enabled in security settings then they'd get caught, so I don't think Facebook is going to start doing that. The address book and metadata they have access to are more useful to them a

You are absolutely correct - WeChat is what it is because of the great firewall. It's not that China blocked other messaging apps (though they do now), it's that China crippled the web and as a result users have been driven into t

So, you're going to recruit girls, "try them out", take their pictures, get test STD results, provide physical security for them, verify the identities of their clients, collect payment, provide insurance, and publish an Andr

Signal way: Server keeps tokens of registered users cached. Client makes tokens of all the numbers it has, remembering the token -> number map for them. Client sends tokens to server, server returns the subset that matched. Client knows

It doesn't matter if the attacker steals the database of hashes because the database of registered users is also stored there in plaintext. The attacker/insiders would need to start logging the contact intersection requests, inclu

Yes, it really does. Signal takes the first 10 bytes of a SHA1 hash of the e164 number, base64s it. An array of these "tokens" are sent to the server at registration time and every 12 hours thereafter. You can confirm this on both

This is already the case for any substantial public posting. In order to get a crappy virtual web host that's not even on your own domain name one needs to supply a national ID number. For a virtual machine a corporation with an ICP li

Reading the paper I get the idea. Although it's possible to cheat, nodes have to put filecoins at risk of loss if they get caught.

It looks like some kind of zero knowledge proof. Why I can't just generate that and then discard your data?

How will these storage coins stop cheaters? Why can't I claim that I will store your data and just not do it?

The article is terrible. Who exactly coerced Lackman to answer arbitrary questions? Who was his lawyer? When did his lawyer arrive? Who threatened Lackman with contempt or court? I've known the parties to a couple of Anton Piller order

After more than a decade of security researchers raising the alarm over critical electronic voting machine vulnerability, I hope this finally causes some real demand for verifiable ballots.

I hope that becomes true one day, but it's certainly not the case now. Manufacturers currently have no choice but to ship devices running vulnerable application software that communicates with remote devices using vulnerable protocols.

End users don't really matter to Broadcom. Chip makers don't sell product to end users, they sell to device manufacturers.

They used Earth based telescopes to find a more accurate information about MU69. In order for New Horizons to get good pictures they need to know exactly where it is, how big it is, and how reflective it is.

Just as spying through eavesdropping on plaintext was defeated through technical means, pushing malicious updates will also be defeated. Tech companies will have to declare that their update mechanisms contain no means to apply updates with

The environment is not the same as China, both in terms of the infrastructure and people's expectations and mentalities. Tencent is what it is because competition is banned. China's "internet" is more like AOL from the e

"Encryption has also featured in attack planning for incidents such as the 2015 Paris attacks." This just keeps getting repeated over and over as if it's true.
