I imagine the receiving party is an Iranian intelligence agency, due to the interest in sigint adjacent technology (Mobile cryptography). That probably makes it espionage, not of the corporate kind

I know about the vulnerabilities in notepad++, however I was referring to the feature set. Regarding large, I am referring to log files for example. I think the issue was lack of use of memory mapped files, which meant the entire file was l

I agree, without even talking about gay rights, I think both the UAE and Qatar have a legal system and an immigration system I wouldn't want to be subjected to. Generally true for most of the world outside of the West

A bit of an alarmist title. They would be negligent if they didn't. Hopefully they are able to anticipate protests and handle these without getting anyone shot. A good part of this is intelligence, and reading reddit is not a very inva
