Pulling these kinds of attacks - especially undetected - requires a certain level of intellect and education that should also be unaffected by things like substance abuse that hamper systematic planning. People with that level of capability

The problem is not the "expectation" of ownership. The problem is in lack of clarity in communication. For whatever reason (usually because they're very good), a lot of Andrew's libraries became very popular in the Go wo

This is where countries like India are going with Biometric Auth plus 2FA (though the implementation has issues). The government provides a public API for sending fingerprint or Iris scan data plus SMS 2FA to authenticate identity with a c

It's a hell of a lot cheaper to throw in a micro-controller than use mechanical timers etc. At bulk, an MCU based control board should cost you single digit dollars.

It's pretty well understood by now that serverless is meant to connote that you (the firm owning the application) don't manage the server(s). Someone else does it while you just bring your application code.

Moral relativism isn't a great argument to make - it's like saying it's ok to nuke Nagasaki and Hiroshima because Japanese did horrific things at Nanking. If the case was laughably weak, it would have been laughed off. The pr

Yes. Most of them are evolutions of legacy code bases and that's why they're also security nightmares. If you're building anything new it's very hard to make a valid case for coding in C. You're almost always better
