    I was reading two BBC articles this morning. Wow, this is scary, isn’t it? Look at the pictures below: I do not think that I would have seen that… It even has an integrated camera which is switched on, when you move the card in.

Which has a big advantage for me: When we have a business...

  • Blog Post: Security Pros ignoring their own message

    rhalbheer
    As you probably know: I am Swiss. We have a saying in Switzerland (I do not know whether something like this exists in English as well) that the kids of the shoemaker always have the worst shoes… So, what about the security professionals?

  • Blog Post: Open Source and Hackers
