That said, the Cellebrite hack scratched an old-school itch that hasn't been in awhile in a time when in person security cons where some of those demos happen haven't been happening :)

Sort of... most companies that fund this type of research do it for product development (IDS/IPS related stuff), or as vulnerability development (for sale as parts of exploit packs or use in engagements). This is a gross over generali

Yes. This is a problem, and folks in Canada are working to hold our government to task for it, in the same way we are working to hold our government to task for other bad acts. I am not sure what point you are trying to make?

No, they aren't. They are using genocide as a generally accepted legal term, and not a dictionary definition, or an interpretation of the root words that make up the word. Read the definition of genocide as it pertains to internationa

It generally doesn't. As an example of what kind of things might be kept secret, take a look at the history of softwood lumber disputes and aluminum disputes between Canada and the United States.

Here[1] is an article that illustrates how much China has invested in Canada. In contrast, Canada has invested very little. Canada has a great deal to lose by provoking China, and due to foreign policy implications in the United States un

I don't know what point you are trying to make; the intent is key, but the intent is clear. The Chinese government is targetting the Uigher people and their supporters with the intention of destroying the Uigher cultural identity. The

It's also worth noting that China doesn't even need to pursue tariffs; they can simply leverage the China-Canada FIPA to sue the Canadian government for damaging Chinese business interests in Canada based on legislation passed by

Yes, we are. It is generally acknowledged by our various Governments at every level that Canada has a history of committing and supporting genocidal acts against indigenous peoples. It's not about the wars either; our residential sch

The problem with that article is that it focuses on parsing language in the context of similar words; genocide as a word was coined in 1944 with a focus on framing the Holocaust in the context of other historical attempts to wipe out a peop

Yep. Not sports here, but military. I will take a dressing down, public or otherwise, over office politics and some of the corporate shenanigans that I have encountered in my private sector career. Give it to me straight, let me know how

So can rolling the dice and trying for remedy against a foreign entity already playing unfairly. Relying on copyright protection and courts with revenues this small is a huge gamble.

That is straight up at odds with American (or Canadian, or for the most part, UK) history. In the United States Trump is the first "war-time" president to blow re-election during an active war, and his term was punctuated by atte
