Tech leaders are racing to adopt today’s AI tools and envisioning ways to capitalize on tomorrow’s quantum computers. But cybercriminals are a few steps ahead.
This month, #theNET examines ways to make the most of AI agents while augmenting security with AI-enhanced solutions and safeguarding data with post-quantum cryptography.

It's a tale as old as Usenet: someone posts a war story; a bug gets fixed.
It's 2025. I suspect that DJB would agree that fake IP addresses used by Sandra Bullock in a movie 30 years ago should not actually work in real tools because of unchecked integer overflow. (-:
So I've patched ip4_scan() and this will be in the next release of #djbwares.
It has been eons since I last watched these two movies. Deep in my head, I had this impression that Hackers has the more accurate presentation of hacking and cybersecurity. Turns out it was The Net instead.

Today, March 29, in 1995, reclusive systems analyst Angela Bennett is issued a temporary passport under the name Ruth Marx after her identity and life are stolen by hackers while she's on vacation in Mexico (The Net, 1995).
"Our whole lives are on the computer!"
I rewatched The Net. (Thanks to @sfpodge!) 😁
Sure it's a bit cheesy (now), but I reckon it holds up alright. Especially for a PG-13 tech film from the 90s, when Moore's Law was in full swing and computer "newness" was measured in months (if not weeks).
Plus she had awesome taste in games!
@mackensen Heh. Yes. Yes it is.
I've seen #TheNet once. Which is one more time than I should have seen it...
@mackensen It's better than #TheNet ...
This month, #theNET explores how organizations can use cloud services to streamline app development, deliver more reliable web app experiences, reduce IT management complexity, and safeguard remote access — all while building a proactive cyber security culture. Learn more: https://cfl.re/40T8qik
Cloudflare CIO, Mike Hamilton discusses how enterprises have added more and more point solutions as they have grown, much like the snake adding segments in the old 1980s cell phone game and how complex enterprise security stacks are causing friction and slowing business down. https://cfl.re/40xAnw4 #Security #theNET
Just watched #TheNet again on an alternative streaming channel & I'll raise my rating of it from a 6 to a 7.
It has been so long since last saw the movie that everything was new to me again and, although the technical aspects of the movie were implausible, even then, the movie kept me entertained & interested to see how Bullock's character was going to avoid getting killed by the evidently incompetent assassin & get out of the mess she was in.
I liked that they shot the ending in San Francisco & was pleased with myself knowing that she could not run from the 200 block of California St to Moscone Center so quickly.
The movie also uses various ploys that I found interesting because they are still in use in movies now, like waiting for a file to be saved/transmitted to increase tension in the film, as was done in #MissionImpossible (1996) & catwalk chases, as was done in #TheInferno (2016).
So, I'd call this an under-rated & under-appreciated film that deserves more credit that it has received.
@mookie Just looked for #TheNet (1995) on #Prime but it's only being offered currently on #Netflix.
So, I checked some alternative streaming site & found it there & will take a look at it later today.
In the meantime, I placed in order on #eBay to buy the #DVD in order to fill the gap in my DVD collection. 😉
It will join the other #SandraBullock movies in the collection, including #Speed 1 (1994), #Heat (2013) & #Gravity (2013). I think Gravity is the best of the bunch, including The Net.
#SandraBullock was #effectively able to #dissuade me of that #pipeDream in the 1995 #film #theNet
We even had a #KurtCobain to physically #warn us about the very idea of #Nirvana

Unfortunately, most were still too enamored of their softly spoken lies, "You've got mail."
