Apple is FINALLY adding a key transparency mechanism to iMessage:
https://security.apple.com/blog/imessage-contact-key-verification/

This has always been a huge weakness of iMessage, and I'm glad to see it finally being addressed.

Blog - Advancing iMessage security: iMessage Contact Key Verification - Apple Security Research

iMessage broke new ground in 2011 as the first widely available messaging service to provide secure end-to-end encryption by default. Ever since, we’ve been making ongoing improvements to iMessage security to protect our users’ most sensitive communications. This brief technical overview introduces the security model behind iMessage Contact Key Verification, a new feature available in the developer previews of iOS 17.2, macOS 14.2, and watchOS 10.2, that advances the state of the art of key directory security in messaging systems and allows users to verify they’re messaging only with the people they intend.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

I really believe that if your infrastructure can’t survive a user clicking a link, you are doomed. I’m the director of cybersecurity at NSA and you can definitely craft an email link I will click…

Employees: We like working in the same homes where we sleep. There's no commute, it's very convenient.

Google: Nah we need you back in the office. But we built hotel rooms here so you can still sleep in the same place you work and there's no commute.

Employees: Uh yeah that's what we already had...

Google: That'll be $99. Which you pay us. To trap you in the office we demanded you come back to.

Google’s $99 a night company hotel advertises ‘no commute’ as a perk

As Google nudges employees to work at its just-opened Bay View campus, the company hotel is advertising $99 special rates and “no commute” as a reason to stay.
