I doubt this strategy will work well for them, its highlighting the problem even more. Also interesting that Google would want to be anywhere close to being associated with Facebook.

What about all their "gas" stations? Tesla is the only one with a large recharging infrastructure that is already in place. Comparisons that try to make Tesla seem like an ordinary car manufacturer are probably quite a bit off.

Tesla is the innovator in this space for 10+ years. Only a few of the companies are all in on electric- and 10 years from now there will be no new old school cars. Some of them have even giant liabilities because of the mess to the environm

Good point, that's why the industry is moving (some companies have already moved to) an approach that assumes your device is compromised and your work laptop and identity is treated as untrusted by default which does not get you unvett

Security resources are sparse and large companies pay lots of money and hire them away. So attempting to defend by yourself could leave you more vulnerable. Probably a middle ground is the best- to benefit from expertise on both sides.

Microsoft probably has a large network and lots of employees and vendors. So I'd assume that every day some machines are being compromised at Microsoft (like anywhere else with lots of employees and stuff like Google, Facebook, Amazon,

Does this mitigate tracking across apps?

Interesting that this post does not attempt to attribute the attack to a specific ATP. Wonder why that is? Most other platforms were fast with attribution. Also, worrisome that they already say there were other attack angles besides what is

Practically there is only one browser, Chrome. And we know that it's not in Googles interest to do any of that. They are actively fighting and diluting tools and techniques that would prevent tracking.

Bezos also makes the same references that Elon Musk spearheaded in his interviews... like Bezos says that noone would use throwaway planes that would be only good for one flight. Musk said that long ago also. So, the observation that a lot

That might mean their software was already compromised long before what was reported to have happened in March - just noone noticed... I heard it's not uncommon that multiple adversaries sometimes poke around the same systems, even fig

A friend of mine talked about building a simple crawler to find companies with open security positions. He noticed whenever there is a spike in open security positions a breach is soon announced or was just announced recently.

I cant believe I'm saying this but Outlook. I used to not like Outlook at work, but when I worked for a startup they used GSuites and the Google mail experience is so bad I honestly couldn't believe that anyone would be using it.

First time I had to use GSuite I was truly puzzled that this is an enterprise offering. The UI is so unprofessional and confusing - really made me miss Microsoft (which is far away from being excellent).

Tense is wrong, they have this ability RIGHT NOW to a very high degree of certainty. Just because the tip of the iceberg has been discovered doesn't mean its mitigated. Even Fireeye is probably still compromised. It will take a while t

Yeah, someone in our company was convinced to sign the department up for it - but noone uses it because promotions and bonuses shouldn't be based on social media "likes". That's a big problem internally at Facebook these

I'd prefer if we would call these things aggressive, rather then sophisticated. What we are witnessing is that adversaries are upleveling and they dont even care if they get caught or not anymore. It's pretty much like warfare in

The world outside HN and Silicon Valley is heavily using Windows. Despite what one might think, Windows is still ruling the desktop and in a typical enterprise environment often also the server landscape.

What I don't understand from Facebook's side is why even do something like this!?? First, it's obvious that this upsets customers. It makes many uncomfortable. Secondly, its obvious that this will make governments curious giv

This is a privacy fallacy to fall for and big tech (ad) companies do this a lot. Just because a single or few instances of a particular information attribute is public, it's quite different compared to majority of instances being avail

I did not read the article and agree that vocabulary is crucial. However just trying to memorize vocabulary is not the best approach. The reason is that it's hard to memorize vocabulary without associating certain emotions and experien

The interesting thing is that in many ways we are already there - but it's difficult to see because we are part of the shift. I really enjoyed (think it was Joscha Bach) take on the idea that companies are basically AI with humans in t

I don't think ML over promises anything, its just a new way to help create software to solve problems that can't really be solved with traditional programming.

You might underestimate the speed and velocity of advancement in the field. A few years ago creating artificial data or images that are indistinguishable from real data was impossible. Now machines generate information, like entire videos t
