So far this further supports the argument that they are special casing and going into a lot more detail when it comes to non Android or Chrome bugs. Will there be a large analysis how frequently this was exploited and so forth? How about a

This is pretty cool. Always interesting to see how things eventually become mainstream whereas origins go back decades, sometimes more.

Exactly my point, Zero Trust is good strategy and mindset. BeyondCorp though is short sighted and seems more like a solution from a company that wants to sell its cloud sooutions, by trying to make VPN evil by suggesting you should not have

Well, still better then having all internal infrastructure exposed by default. At least there is something that needs to be circumvented. Companies that do BeyondCorp dont even have that level of protection. Most blindly follow that, withou

Pentesters sometimes are leveraged as pawns in political games in organizations - seems similar with government. I think you are correct, the question is if the right stakeholders authorized this. You can't break into a 7/11 becau

It's not good enough to have an authorization- you need to have authorization from the proper stakeholder! That is the dispute here.

Facebook can't prevent people from using it via fake profiles, etc. that have the intent to bypass things. Unless we want Facebook profiles to always be official profiles (validated via government ID) - which the government would like.

This is interesting, I think engineers often take the naive approach and stance when it comes to morals and ethics, like this comment here highlights. Many engineers are not at all familiar with privacy and security laws. When there are hac
