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 .

Thank you @willmcgugan for the nudge ❤️

The problem with #video #content in general is that you're at the mercy of the glacial speed of information flow of human speech, made worse by a fixed timeline.

There's no way I'm going to sit through a video, waiting for the presenter to get to the point, when I can thumb through a presentation deck or a written document in seconds to see if it's relevant to me, and if so, spend a few more seconds pulling out the bits that I need.

So, yeah, #productivity ...

Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to call a professional application "Microsoft Teams (work or school)".

Seriously.
