JavaScript CPU cache snooper tells crooks EVERYTHING you do online

no software issue

CPU cache side channel attacks are nothing new. They have been used to attack crytography and virtualized environments for years. The cache is predictable and therefore prone to attacks.

Modern operating systems and applications allready using randomization, now it's time for the hardware vendors to follow.

A fast and predictable cache may suit high performance and massive parallel workloads, but average Joe can browse the web without it.

Merging HP and EMC – hold on, wait, hear us out. The cap is still on the bottle of crazy pills

Makes sense to me

In the age of certified cloud stacks and hyper converged boxes, VMWare,HP and EMC could act more agressive on the market than VMWare, _CISCO_ and EMC and gain market share from business that was scared off by Ciscos UCS price tag.

Microsoft and DELL allready have this kind of cooperation where you even get your DELL firmware updates from Microsoft (not discussing the quality of MS updates in generale here)

Sony to media: stop publishing our stolen stuff or we'll get nasty

How Do We Know?

How are we supposed to know the documents are stolen unless SPE publishes all stolen documents themselves?

Time to move away from Windows 7 ... whoa, whoa, who said anything about Windows 8?

After Windows 7 comes the Linux based thin client

Applications are running in the private cloud. RDS, IIS and Apache. No need for a fat client anymore.

Back to the days of mainframe and green screen. Except the screen isn't green anymore and the mainframe is a virtualization cluster now.

July 14, 2015. Tuesday. No more support for Windows Server 2003. Good luck

Re: The problem is......

Lack of proper lifecycle management.

Every service owner is responsible to provide the nessesary ressources to setup,maintain and retire a service.

German spy agency staffer spied for NSA during gov probe into NSA spying – report

pawn sacrifice to silence the german public

This whole story smells fishy.

Who is this double agent anyway? A handicaped low rank office worker. Probably someone who would easily volunteer in such a game to get his early retirement and a handfull of €.

We have a triple-win situation on both sides of the atlantic:

The german government can show that they are taking action and fight domestic spying.

Government officials in germany are allready demanig a fund raise for countermeasures to protect the german public from foreign agencies. Data retention law will be getting on its way again.

The US will benefit from the improved german spying infrastructure.
