This pattern is the rule rather than the exception across MS ecosystems, but to see Microsoft itself do it is particularly egg-on-face. MS security has put significant effort into tooling and best practice documentation to try and prevent t

My understanding is that they bundled it in so conveniently that it’s somewhat of a default. They probably don’t have to care because the average company isn’t about to do an entire slack deployment and integration into their purely MS ecos

This is a really great description of exactly what I’ve mused over in the past. And to re-iterate: I don’t personally think we should intentionally increase harm in this area, I just find it intriguing where we do and don’t seemingly allow

I have semi-jokingly suggested that air travel is actually too safe. That is, we accept far far higher risks in other areas of our life because it would be too inconvenient and/or too expensive to solve. How much positive impact woul

I’ve never ever run a phishing campaign against a medium+ sized organization and had zero hits. It’s great that you think you could never be conned, but I’d be interested if you think that scales to your entire security team. A well-timed,

Two issues with this: 1) no mention of U2F; vastly superior to OTP 2) “watch out for phishing” is near useless advice. A well-written phishing email will catch the most seasoned security professional. The only fix is: see #1 above

How reliable is IPFS for things like this? If I wanted to use git on ipfs, I could host a node and push all my git commits there, but I’d have to convince others to host it as well, correct? So perhaps it would be awesome for majorly popula

Did a quick search for anything at all with more detail than the twitter post, and couldn’t find anything. They sure do have a ton of hip marketing image. But they also seem to have some clued up engineers. So who really knows

Can anyone speak to the details & limitations here? Can it truly learn via video visualization of humans performing an action and replicate? During “training”, what feedback does it use, and what is the goal function to signify success?

To say “definitely” don’t need one with near zero information on what a long trip constitutes is wild. Do you tow anything on your long trips? Go into extremely cold environments? Go into areas with no or minimal charging infrastructure? Do

I guess as a follow-up, you possibly can’t actually “update” firmware for this, without it creating entirely new keys that would have to be registered with every application

Can anyone comment on the design decision to not store device firmware? Is this common? I would’ve assumed it would generally be safer to have permanent but updatable firmware, to reduce the attack surface of malicious firmware loadings

But if you get to decide what is “meaningful”, it’s just a reminder of the finiteness of life. I’ve spent a bunch of this holiday sitting on the couch, relaxing or letting my mind wander or just enjoying being near a warm fire. I don’t thin

The system is currently very broken. Less laws wouldn’t make this situation better. Either update/adapt, or require specific amendments?

How would this type of attack work on an android that is locked to play store? I guess you could use a web phishing page, but you couldn’t remote access their device. Maybe you could get a malicious data capture app into the play store that

I imagine everyone is finger-pointing. Booking.com says the hotel is at fault for having their credentials leaked; the hotel says booking.com failed to protect their account, the bank says the user was phished so it’s not their fault. IMO i

Oh, maybe I missed the point then? People buy the hyper inflated metric that sounds good, even if it’s not actually what they want? A huge one of this is (or was?) megapixels in cameras. When actually, sensor size & quality, and glass q

Price after rebate seems reasonable: you pay money, get the item, a rebate gives you money back on your purchase. Savings over time is a whole other dimension, you have to wait for it. And it makes huge assumptions about usage and input (ga

Sure, of course it does. How often do you look at it, and think through what portion is actually going to the business? Tax-not-included prices do that automatically.
