📥 Last month, DFKI’s Prof. Josef van Genabith & Simon Ostermann spoke to t-online on how Gmail's auto translate could've altered words on their newsletter and disrupted the reporting of recent events: sic.link/tonline
In the age of misinformation, we thank them for speaking out about the issue! 🙏

Eine der beiden Exzellenzcluster-Skizzen der Universität des Saarlandes hat es eine Runde weiter geschafft.
Da ich an beiden Skizzen mitgewirkt habe, freut mich das natürlich - auch wenn eine Erfolgsquote von 100% natürlich noch schöner gewesen wäre:

Apparently an #introduction is due when joining mastodon, so let's do it:
I've explicitly joined an #infosec related server because that's what I'm doing as a profession *and* it's what I am very passionate about.
Used the birdapp mostly to stay in touch with the infosec community (more consuming than producing though), so I figured I will try something similar here. Let's see if I will become more talkative this time 🤔
Got into the #security field during my CS masters at #SaarlandUniversity and it was such a fascinating field that I sticked around to do a Ph.D. at the #CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. My thesis revolves around mobile security on the Android platform, but since then I switched gears a little bit. I've been somewhat involved with the local #startup scene since my masters and eventually ended up as the founding-CTO of a small company called #AIS where we focus on #AttackSurfaceMapping atm.
