Actually most security professionals have a serious downer on writing passwords down. I can see some circumstances where it could make sense, as you say where physical security concerns are less of an issue. That said I wouldn't say a

I'd suggest that users who care , when no longer forced to periodically rotate passwords, will likely choose better passwords (I know I have, where I'm no longer required to do so). Users who don't care will still choose bad

TOTP or other forms of 2FA are the best way of avoiding the very real problem of user password re-use.

Would an arbitrary image upload alone allow exploitation of this, or would it require an operation on the host along the lines of a 'docker cp' as well?

Unfortunately there's diminishing marginal returns for "named" vulnerabilities. There's nothing stopping people assigning scary names to quite mundane issues, and after a couple of "boy who cried wolf" episodes

Ah I see, so if I understand correctly, it's more that you feel there is ill-intent behind Gihtub's move and their plan is to undercut existing players, and then to increase prices? That feels to me, like one interpretation for su

Can I ask where you're getting that info. on the fee structure, I can't see that on their pages easily. From reading the FAQ it sounds like there are no fees in the first year at all and afterwards it's a payment processing f

Another in the growing line of supply chain attacks. It's inevitable that as primary sites improve their security, attackers will seek to exploit other elements in the chain that might present easier targets. Given the number of 3rd p

Glad to see they're dying out, they really did seem to me like an example of Security Theatre.

That seems to assume that Bitfinex can repay them, which is in no way clear. If Bitfinex can't cover the loss, they're insolvent. If everyone redeemed their Tether, it's not a delay it's "you're not getting al

Whilst Bitfinex itself may not be a key player, arguably the Tether Stablecoin, which it controls , is. From Coinmarketcap, Tether volumes are regularly second only to Bitcoin's , and many exchanges who have difficulty getting fiat ban

One thing that appears concerning in the series of articles being written about the 737 Max incidents is that they suggest a culture at Boeing of speed/cost over safety. Now we can assume that the Max won't re-enter service until

I think some of that comes from this occurring in Oracle's cloud environment. It's not an on-prem setup where the customer has full control to manage/test backups, it's at least some level of managed service from Oracle.

Local taxis are perhaps only more expensive due to Uber burning VC cash to compete? Public transport is barely used in the USA perhaps but that's not the only market Uber needs to compete in to succeed. And this isn't taking into

My feeling though is that Amazon had a much larger moat to build, with distribution networks, warehouses, logistics etc. With Uber, what's their moat, so that when they raise prices to become profitable users don't just move away?

Software escrow agents are definitely a thing (e.g. https://www.nccgroup.trust/uk/our-services/software-escrow-a... ) (Disclaimer, I work for that company, but not in the escrow area)

just to answer my own question in case anyone's interested https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-wsl-2/ looks like it is a VM they're using rather than the WSL1 emulation approach.

Just saw there's some more technical details here https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/shipping-a-linux-... . Whilst it doesn't explicitly mention Virtual Machines or Hypervisors, I'd read this as m

On the WSL2 piece, is this continuing the direction of WSL1 (syscall emulation) or going for a hypervisor based route to enable compatibility with things like Docker?

It'll be interesting to see details here, which I guess will come out over the next couple of days. They could either go the syscall emulation route (as in current WSL), or possibly the "thin hypervisor" route, the fact they&

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, Oracle employs a lot of/most of the developers who work on the OpenJDK. So Oracle's attitude to OpenJDK and the possibility that it cuts back on development is a likely factor for people co

I'm guessing the use of "as of this date" means that the parent comment is referring to Microsoft and not Apple, as at the moment by market cap, Microsoft is more valuable than apple by about $13billion
