A few weeks ago, I was responding to a cybersecurity incident - $500,000 have been stolen from a #blockchain developer. The infected operating system was freshly installed, and the victim was vigilant about cybersecurity. How could this happen? New supply chain attack? [1/6]

@cryptodavidw Have you managed to make Gemini CLI work on multiple directories?

On my end it had troubles getting into subdirectories. On the other hand, it was super fast in identifying and fixing a k8s deployment, which was kind of mind blowing (it did the kubectl commands itself)

@cryptodavidw Missed opportunity to call it zK-fè? 😁

When in doubt, use Schnorr over ECDSA: https://t.co/qFbGlvSwOB

Dear Americans,

Since the White House press secretary is attacking me today, I wanted to tell you this ⤵️

NEW: A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub, as of this week. The staffer, Jordan Wick, also created a repository for a Twitter DM-downloading tool just 3 days ago. He posted work on geospatial data in Jan—undersea cables, ports & “critical minerals.”

NASA employees are being ordered to scrub their websites of these words:

I’m sure that when the ‘hire on merit only’ crowd find out that women are generally better candidates for long term Spaceflight they’ll tell NASA to stop hiring men.

Equal performance, but lower mass, requiring fewer consumables and better radiation shielding around reproductive organs.

If they’re going to ignore the multitude of good reasons for a diverse astronaut corps then it’s time to start factoring in these advantages, otherwise NASA is wasting money by putting big men into space.

Super excited to share how Apple is deploying homomorphic encryption! It'll be used for private information retrieval (mail, calls, content restrictions) and private nearest neighbor search (photos). This was an amazing effort across multiple teams! 💪🎉 https://t.co/6k8P16qiR6

This is @PeteButtigieg with the only acceptable answer.

You've seen this before. It's the "treasury" of the ancient, rock-cut city of Petra.

But do you know what it actually is — or more interesting, what's inside?

It isn't what you might expect... (thread) 🧵

We've expanded our Trail of Bits Testing Handbook with a new chapter on cryptographic testing, covering Wycheproof and constant time analysis tooling. Essential reading for security professionals working with cryptographic implementations. https://t.co/TPFeouPhl0

We should all use interactive proofs in cryptocurrency systems to make sure any potential time-travelers are well funded.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

This post on reverse-engineering an ANC secret cipher is pretty fantastic. It’s terrifying how primitive the crypto was for something with such high stakes. https://t.co/M9RNWqpf5g
