Posted on by

It’s nice to take a break from hacking together the newest bleeding-edge technology, relax, and enjoy a beverage. It’s no surprise that hacks devoted to beer and coffee roasting are popular. We’ve also seen a few projects helping brew the perfect cup of tea, but none involving the actual production of tea. Today we’re going to take a short recess from modernity and explore this ancient tradition.

Russian bank threatens researcher with CFAA suit over DNS request data

Posted on by

A Russian bank under investigation for possible ties to the Trump Organization has threatened at least one security researcher with a lawsuit over the dissemination of data that point to a server connection between the bank and the company.   In a document obtained by CyberScoop, Alfa Bank sent Indiana University computer researcher L. Jean Camp a notice that it’s pursuing “all available options” after Camp’s research suggested the bank engaged in some form of communication with the Trump Organization.

Hacklet 121 – Tea Hacks

Posted on by

Last week on the Hacklet I covered coffee hacks. Not everyone likes coffee though. A good portion of the world’s population enjoys a nice cup of tea. Different cultures are rather particular with how they prepare their drink of choice. Americans tend to use teabags, while British, Chinese (and much of the rest of the globe) generally prefer loose tea leaves.
