Mathematicians love today, 2026-03-14, because 2,026 minus 3 minus 14 is 2,007 which is of course the largest prime number

oh cool, the hackers' almanack from def con 33 is out... and seems like they think policymakers should know about our snitch puck research?

(i agree, naturally, but the outside validation is nice)

there's no technical difference between "MS yields keys for CSAM warrant" and "MS yields keys of political activist"

the issue is not whether there's a good reason to hand over keys. the issue is that MS having your keys means they decide what makes a good reason

rule of law will not keep you safe

it is the weekly computer security meetup at CTRL-H... so yes, it's about those things. actual exploitation does sometimes occur, but think more "santa's workshop" than "conference workshop": it's pretty chill and unstructured. but don't listen to me, you should come hang out and see for yourself! 🖤

photo of a drink can on a deutsche bahn tray table; the drink is simply ein koffeinhaltiges erfrischungsgetränk which is 10% ABV because it also contains vodka

today's episode of "i'd be dead by now if they could sell this in the US" is brought to you by germany

screenshot of selected youtube comments.
@rayxfinkle8328 says "bluesky says it all"
@arednog says "of course she uses bluesky" and @Trillion_Dollar_Extreme replies "he"
@stevenmcgrew869 says "it surprises me that so many blue sky type of people arein tech. you would think that they would be more logical"

i mentioned my account on one slide at the very end of my 45-minute DEF CON talk and that's also had a few geniuses on the youtube video scrambling to comment about it. particularly enjoy the double-feature "upset by bluesky" and "confused by gender" thread

It Looks Like a School Bathroom Smoke Detector. A Teen Hacker Showed It Could Be an Audio Bug A pair of hackers found that a vape detector often found in high school bathrooms contained microphones—and security weaknesses that could allow someone to turn it into a secret listening device.

EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...
