The most alarming part of the article is that we are only really getting a revocation of these keys because they didn't pay a ransom and the ransomers were apparently too stupid to sell them secretly instead of releasing them to the pu

Measured boot is great in theory.. But it is only really practical to determine that your bios haven't changed at all. If you are going to trust updates you are ultimately going to have to make the same mistake as verified boot, just m

I don't know, it seems like an impossible market for an honest middle man to me. 10% of short term contracting being a total bust where a worker should none-the-less be paid seems like a cost companies had that dealt with the lowest of

Either offers and contracts are valid or they are gibberish. Anyone who is continuing to honor them as valid loses out in a system where others can promise the impossible and not suffer consequences. If you offered impossible lifetime deals

The US army happens to be very violent even as a standing army since energy waste is an alternative to a much larger less trained army. But practically speaking the genocide of everyone is the worst possible violence and its most likely cau

I think it keeps getting easier to make stay resident attacks but from a game theory PoV it doesn't make sense to a ransomware maker to be known for charging over and over until people refuse to pay.
