#Decryption

Oh, look, another "genius" using a GPU farm to play hero against #ransomware. 🙄🤖 Because decrypting Akira's #LinuxESXI variant is just another weekend project, right? Next time, maybe they'll use a toaster. 😂🔥

University of Oslo: AI assists researchers in decoding old secret letters. “In today’s world, encryption plays a vital role in all aspects of data protection and cybersecurity, ensuring that unauthorised individuals cannot access the information you transmit or store. However, the practice of sending messages that can only be interpreted by their intended recipients predates the age of […]

Do you want a funny weekend project?

The Chilean #SII, akin to the #IRS from United States, asks to sign tax documents using SHA1-RSA.

This encryption is susceptible to Marvin Attack, Collision Vulnerability, and SHAttered Attack.

Literally, all business in #Chile are vulnerable to these attacks.

How Digital Forensics Experts Read Your Encrypted WhatsApp Messages

With physical access to the cell phone, forensic tools can extract the WhatsApp database directly and then decrypt the database. This means the communications are viewable to the digital forensics examiner just like they would be to the WhatsApp user

‘Harvest now, decrypt later’: Why hackers are waiting for quantum computing

With #quantumcomputing, hackers can access anything encrypted — data storage systems are no longer their primary focus. They can eavesdrop on the connection between a web browser and a server, read cross-program communication or intercept information in transit

Safest Country in EU for #Privacy

In an era where digital privacy is of paramount importance, the #EuropeanUnion stands out as a region with a strong commitment to protecting citizens’ data

Not all EU countries are created equal in terms of privacy laws

The question of which country offers the safest environment in the EU is complex, influenced by factors including key disclosure laws, mandatory #decryption requirements, & attitudes toward personal #data protection.
