The cybersecurity landscape is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. What is emerging is not simply a rise in the number of vulnerabilities or tools, but a dramatic increase in speed. Speed of attack, speed of exploitation, and speed of change across … Continue reading The AI Arms Race – Why Unified Exposure Management Is Becoming a Boardroom Priority
To help prevent malicious actors from spreading harmful apps while hiding behind anonymity, Google is rolling out developer verification to all Android developers. The company is also introducing app registration, which links apps to verified developer… Continue reading Android developers just got a new verification layer
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography.
I am incredibly pleased to see them get this recognition. I have always thought the technology to be fantastic, even though I think it’s largely unnecessary. I wrote up my thoughts back in 2008, in an essay titled “Quantum Cryptography: As Awesome As It Is Pointless.”
Back then, I wrote:
While I like the science of quantum cryptography—my undergraduate degree was in physics—I don’t see any commercial value in it. I don’t believe it solves any security problem that needs solving. I don’t believe that it’s worth paying for, and I can’t imagine anyone but a few technophiles buying and deploying it. Systems that use it don’t magically become unbreakable, because the quantum part doesn’t address the weak points of the system…

The Eufymake E1 is a recently-released prosumer UV printer that can print high-resolution color images onto pretty much anything. It also uses proprietary ink cartridges (which integrate a magnetic stirrer, …read more Continue reading Refill UV Printer Ink Cartridges Like It’s The Late 90s
Researchers at the University of Waterloo say a new “quadratic quantum gravity” framework could explain the universe’s rapid early expansion without adding extra ingredients to Einstein’s theory by hand. The idea is especially notable because it makes … Continue reading Quadratic Gravity Theory Reshapes Quantum View of Big Bang
Hijacked maintainer account let attackers slip cross-platform trojan into 100M-downloads-a-week Axios Updated One of npm’s most widely used HTTP client libraries briefly became a malware delivery vehicle after attackers hijacked a maintainer’s account… Continue reading Supply chain blast: Top npm package backdoored to drop dirty RAT on dev machines
