Thinking of this in context to Win7 EOL approaching: I imagine the type of people who have RDP publicly exposed are the same type of people who will not be upgrading from Win7 anytime soon. I suspect we will see many exploits of this to com

The claimed threat vector is loss of anonyminity. There is no anonyminity designed into AirDrop, and nowhere in Apple's documentation do I see the claim for it. You iCloud account is your identity. When you choose to share things direc

This article fails to mention that AirDrop is only enabled for Contacts by default. Furthermore, each AirDrop session is a TLS session, where the users exchange iCloud certificates to authenticate each other. See: https://www.app

This is official, but remember what happened when we assumed that links from official sources were official. Healthy paranoia :)

I think the concern is more accurately: you must go out of your way to honor robots.txt. I think both robots.txt and security.txt are great ideas. However, they will always only be useful to those who follow the wishes of the website (which

Thanks, I didn't even know Calibra existed. I had only heard about the Libra currency itself.

What is the difference between 'Calibra' and 'Libra'? This article uses them interchangably, and does not seem to distinct between the two. Edit: Looking more closely -- "That means that even though Facebook might n

I'm sure the Blender community will welcome this grant with open arms, as they should. I am merely pointing out that Epic's list of bad things outweighs their list of good things, regarding the open source community.

So, the intended behavior is that FF does not check any Add-on related cert for a valid date range? In that case, what prevents an insider threat of a Mozilla employee signing malicious add-ons with an out-of-date cert?

Looking at the Technical Report [1], I am confused... First bullet under Root Causes: "The server-side teams whose systems (e.g., Autograph) generate signatures knew the certificate was expiring, but did not see a problem because they

I've always been a proponent of separating the monitoring from the infra. Otherwise your insight is binary: the service is either up or down. You don't have an context as to why. Edit: Additionally, from a competitive standpoint,

I also recommend privacy.com. The cards act as pre-paid cards, so I have seen some instances where a site did not take them. But probably 98% the service has worked beautifully.

This article is probably intended as a jab at Google for having a Privacy Policy that is absurdly long. However, this is also proof of how far we've come in regulating how personal information is identified and stored. For example, the
