- “While the engineers slept, the agents kept building," she said, describing how they "wrote code, tested it, found bugs, fixed them, and deployed it around the clock."

Per Wikipedia, the shared key (the wifi password, as normal people would say) authenticates what a client is allowed to connect and then "a Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) is generated for secure data exchange" during the initial handshake and then "the established PTK is used for encrypting unicast traffic, and the Group Temporal Key (GTK) is used for broadcast traffic". So, one key per client for most traffic except for broadcast traffic which, by its nature, should be visible to all clients on the broadcast segment.
I'm curious about the capitalisation of Face ID in the headline which strongly suggests Apple's trademarked biometric system is being compromised. I don't see any reference to Face ID elsewhere in the description of what the trojan does. Isn't it actually that banks have used a crappy, roll-your-own face recognition system that is easily bypassed?
Pretty sure all the police forces use standard office PCs, some of which will be used for surveillance-related tasks. Equally a lot of companies employ ex-police. Neither of these seem like reasons to boycott a company.
The social media posts are a bit weird for a corporate account but that’s all they are. I really don’t get the fuss.
