bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-20 16:58:07

Dell ControlVault is a hardware-based security solution that stores passwords, biometric data, and security codes within firmware on a dedicated daughterboard, known as the Unified Security Hub (USH). The five vulnerabilities, reported by Cisco's Talos security division and dubbed "ReVault," affect both the ControlV

Best travel VPNs 2025: Expert-tested for streaming and avoiding censorship

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-12-20 14:15:15

You don't need to leave your privacy at home when you travel. A virtual private network (VPN) can keep your data safe, mask your IP address online, and provide you with protection while you're away from home. Trusted VPNs encrypt and route your traffic through dedicated networks, and you should always consider using one when you travel to avoid cyberthreats. VPNs can also circumvent censorship blocks in the country you visit, including the UK's new age verification laws, and may help you access

Twelve minutes after midnight on April 8, a Boeing 777-300ER barreled down a runway at Singapore Changi Airport. In its belly, it carried precious cargo: 3,000 kilograms of specialized bitcoin mining equipment bound urgently for New York. As the plane took to the sky, staff at US-based Luxor Technology could begin to relax.

Software Rot

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-20 17:35:19

Software rot is generally thought of as degradation of software due to a changing environment. For example, a program written a decade ago may no longer work with new versions of the libraries it depends on because some of them have changed without retaining backwards compatibility. This kind of thinking encourages a culture where software becomes obsolete unless it is constantly maintained. A better approach might be to talk about the reliability of the environment the software depends on. Wou
