Don't fear the tool. Fear the vulns. Police are alerting on @flipper_zero's potential for bypassing access control systems. I wouldn't call it a bypass. These are systems *missing* access control and relying on solely security by obscurity. pic.twitter.com/53nFcdIIfS

Last night in a surprising final twist in an already bonkers story the husband in this cyber crime couple admitted he was the hacker in the original 2016 theft of $4.5bn. He blew his 'rapper' wife a kiss from the dock as they were both sent down. https://t.co/yip2IrgHOA

"Google has 175,000+ capable and well-compensated employees who get very little done."

Google will make arguments they need to monopolize to improve their product but the truth everyone knows is that Google Search now sucks. https://t.co/b7skoCNGxL
