This Week in Security: The Geopolitical Kernel, Roundcube, and The Archive

Leading off the week is the controversy around the Linux kernel and an unexpected change in maintainership. The exact change was that over a dozen developers with ties to or …read more Continue reading This Week in Security: The Geopolitical Kernel, Roundcube, and The Archive

This Week in Security: Quantum RSA Break, Out of Scope, and Spoofing Packets

Depending on who you ask, the big news this week is that quantum computing researchers out of China have broken RSA. And that’s true… sort of. There are multiple caveats, …read more Continue reading This Week in Security: Quantum RSA Break, Out of Scope, and Spoofing Packets

Levitating nanodiamonds spin at 1.2 billion rpm in a vacuum

Physicists at Purdue University have levitated nanoscale diamonds, hit them with lasers to make them flash and sent them spinning at an incredible 1.2 billion rpm. The experiments aren’t just about creating the “world’s smallest disco” but could help t… Continue reading Levitating nanodiamonds spin at 1.2 billion rpm in a vacuum

Heartbleed is 10 Years Old – Farewell Heartbleed, Hello QuantumBleed!

Heartbleed made most certificates vulnerable. The future problem is that quantum decryption will make all certificates and everything else using RSA encryption vulnerable to everyone.
