My latest for Wired. How researchers hacked time to crack an 11-year-old password protecting $3 million in cryptocurrency. They found a significant flaw in RoboForm's password manager that made its pseudo-random-number generator not so random. The flaw allowed famed hardware hacker Joe Grand to turn back time and cause the RoboForm password manager to believe it was 2013 and spit out the same passwords it generated back then. RoboForm says it fixed the flaw in 2015, but it appears it never told customers about it. This means that if any of RoboForm's current 6 million users are using passwords generated by the password manager prior to 2015, before the company silently fixed the flaw, they may have passwords that can be cracked in the same way .

People who bought these m4 threaded rods also frequently bought these m3 lock nuts

these people were very disappointed

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.
