Jon Hicks/Getty Images Remember all those viral "money hacks" on TikTok that helped some Chase customers withdraw money fraudulently from ATMs? Chase is pursuing legal action against more customers who were involved, so they may soon have to repay any money that was illegally obtained. Last October, a temporary glitch in Chase Bank's security allowed people to write checks to themselves and deposit them at ATMs, withdrawing the funds before the bank could identify the error. Typically, you can

The United States government has found itself on bit of a cancelation spree as of late, terminating critical programs with all the subtlety and care of a bull in a china shop. Late yesterday, we got word that the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database (CVE) was about to lose its funding.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR The US government has stopped funding the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, a standardized global system for identifying and tracking software vulnerabilities across platforms and devices, including Android. Without CVEs, Google’s monthly Android security bulletins may face delays, confusion, or reduced transparency. It’s unclear who, if anyone, will step in to maintain or replace the CVE system.

I recently posted a blog post about a new hash table, and whenever I do something like that, I learn at least one new thing from my comments. In my last comment section Rich Geldreich talks about his hash table which uses “Fibonacci Hashing”, which I hadn’t heard of before. I have worked a lot on hash tables, so I thought I have at least heard of all the big important tricks and techniques, but I also know that there are so many small tweaks and improvements that you can’t possibly know them all
