Peter Williams admits to selling unpatched iPhone bugs to a shady Russian broker.

The former head of #L3Harris​’s #Trenchant “offensive cyber” division has admitted to stealing a weapons-grade exploit chain worth $35 million and then selling it for personal gain. The feds charged #PeterWilliams last week—and this week he’s decided to ’fess up.

The company’s not on trial, but the story raises important questions about the national security risks of outsourcing such weaponry. In #SBBlogwatch, we go out with a whimper.

Oh, thank you so much. Fantastic work by your father (who, as you had explained, turned into a very successful professional photographer).

Truly impressive, both as pieces of art in themselves, and as a sign of your father's creative energy. Thank you for sharing.

I'm going to boost this reply so that I can re-share your earlier post with another photograph of one of your father's sculptures.

Alec Guiness, David Lean – „Die Brücke am Kwai“ (1957)

Ein Film, der sich bis heute jeder einfachen Einordnung entzieht. Kein unpolitisches Kriegsabenteuer, keine historische Rekonstruktion, sondern eine minutiöse Studie über Stolz, Pflicht und die Absurdität militärischer Logik. Schon in der ersten Szene, in der britische Soldaten in ein japanisches Kriegsgefangenenlager geführt werden, ist die doppelte Dimension zu spüren: eine strenge Ordnung, subtile Machtmechanismen, die Menschen zerstören können. Anders als in klassischen Flucht- oder Abenteuerfilmen wird die Brücke nicht zur Begründung der Handlung, sondern viel mehr zum Symbol der Unterwerfung. (3Sat)
