I met the people paid to break into CEOs' offices, data centres, and pharmaceutical labs – and learned some of the tricks they use to get in. Bonus fact: some of them involve lanyards. (Gift link for the first ??? clicks)

As cyber-defences improve, physical entry to premises is emerging as one of the best ways to hack into systems — and it’s far too easy

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Three years ago, the Free Beacon ironically named me man of the year on their website. "Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to," they wrote. This year, I was on a TIME100 list. I would take this moment to tell them how they can suck me: from the back. Thank you.
We don’t know about Ben’s family or personal finances, but we certainly can’t disagree about his lack of skills. But for someone with absolutely no ability, Ben has found the perfect gig.

Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to. Only now, when you do nothing, you'll do it as a Free Beacon Man of the Year.I win.

I changed my flight out of NYC to Deadwood today to leave earlier morning. I somehow got it in my head it was a 0700 departure. It was a 0600 departure. I luckily planned to eat breakfast before I left. No breakfast, but I made it!

Guys can rape someone, get a slap on the wrist, take advantage of their victim wanting privacy, and leverage the severe lack of consequences as an opportunity to build a platform centered around a false version of themselves where they get to publicly pretend none of that ever happened.

Bettany’s response - which wasn’t horrified - was chilling. He said Depp shouldn’t burn Amber because she was nice to look at. Thinking about this in the context of all those men who knew Jane Doe was being raped and did nothing.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

In an interview, Firefox's head says it like it is—Google deprecated its old extension system just to sabotage ad blockers arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...
Text that reads: "So some examples—Chrome went through with their deprecation of Manifest V2. Manifest V2 is basically a much more powerful extension system. And people were like, well, why did this decrease? Why didn’t they just fix the security vulnerabilities in Manifest V2? And it’s very clearly because of ad blockers. That was the reason to deprecate it. Whereas, Mozilla, we’re not maximizing for profits, we’re maximizing for user experience and browser experience, and we want people to have powerful extensions. So we noticed when that shutoff moment happened, there was a moment where people said, do you want the power of an engine to be able to dictate how I control my experience? Because once Chromium shut it off, Edge shut it off, all the Chromium browsers then shut off Manifest V2 support. We still support it, and so we saw a big surge of actual users who started using us."
