University of California, Berkeley engineers have built the first dust-sized, wireless sensors that can be implanted in the body. Time to jack into cyberspace
|

|

The sensor, 3 millimeters long and 1×1 millimeters in cross section,...
They have really big dust at UC, Berkeley!
...and ultrasound vibrations can penetrate nearly anywhere in the body, unlike radio waves, the researchers say.
Time to retire my tin foil hat for...what?

The two have unveiled OpenYOLO — not this YOLO, but short for “you only login once” — an open-source API project for app developers to access passwords stored in password managers, whichever one you happen to use. Counting down to when it gets hacked...

Sounds like, if it were hacked, it be an easy backdoor to all your secrets, or "EBAYS"tm for short.

InfoWorld talks with GitHub's Jamesha Fisher about the cultural shifts necessary for baking security early into the devops process. Alternately, "Does anybody really know what time it is?"
I only recently learned that "Twenty-five or six to four" was written as a response to this song. Or at least that's _what they say_.

I was literally wondering about this just one hour ago. Thank you for saving my evening from hours of google, fora, and wikipedia -induced surfing.

It's a resource issue.
For simplicity, consider the following example. Developers invest 90% of their time into creating a product and 10% of the time into protecting it. Hackers can put 100% of their time into breaking protections.

|
My experience has been that developers care about security, management doesn't.

Four high-profile bugs have been found in the protocol, potentially placing 85 million websites at risk. That's it - I'm going back to NetBIOS. Who's with me?
Or maybe SNA. That's unhackable, right? :P

Nah! Bring back token ring! The problem isn't the application layer HTTP, not the control layer TCP, nor even the transport layer IP. It's in the hardware layer Ethernet where all the trouble starts.

A notorious black hat says he has more than 200 million hacked Yahoo accounts for sale on the dark Web. The company says it is "aware of [the] claim," but is refusing to comment on its veracity. Yahoo accounts are primarily used to log into the company's webmail service, but also for other sites like Flickr.

It seems like MD5 was initially cracked about 10 years ago; which is inexcusable to still be in production.

I did some encryption work in the mid 1990s. I think I had to drop MD5 about 1997 or so.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

The problem with moving faster than most companies is that Facebook was plagued by delays whenever it had to outsource prototyping and testing of its gadgets and gizmos. With so much hardware on its 10-year roadmap, and quarter after quarter of profits stacking up, it made sense to build a dedicated laboratory within its Menlo Park headquarters. Solid aluminum Like buttons!
Or 'aluminium' if you're of that sort.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Don't let the millennial buzz fool you. Older workers handle and adapt to new systems better than younger people. “Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill”
I have met a few people this applies to, but the majority of 50+ folk I know bust this myth regularly.
I don't think they struggle with the new technology as much as they aren't impressed.

for instance this new thing called the cloud?? I try to tell people that we had all of this 20, 30 years ago. nothing really new but rather a new cool name.
