«Wie sicher sind Apple-Geräte wirklich?
Apple-Geräte gelten als vergleichsweise sicher. Doch sind sie wirklich sicherer als Windows oder wiegen sich Nutzer nur in falscher Sicherheit?»

Scientists warn UK biodiversity report may distort evidence with security framing #UnitedKingdom

Scientists warn UK biodiversity report may distort evidence with security framing
Scientists have warned that a new UK Government report on global biodiversity loss and national security risks distorting evidence and driving ineffective policy by framing ecological degradation and its impacts on migration as a security threat. The report, "Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security," was published in early 2026 and argues that accelerating biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse pose mounting security threats to the UK.

Holy shit, why am I maintaining #chromium packages instead of hunting for security holes in it?!

"This update includes 29 security fixes. Please see the Chrome Security Page for more information." Then there's a list of CVEs, with things like "Critical CVE-2026-3913: Heap buffer overflow in WebML. Reported by Tobias Wienand on 2026-02-10" The first CVE paid out $33k. The next two paid $43k each, and the one after that $36k. The next one is _only_ $11k. That's $166k in payouts to security researchers, and it's only 5 out of the listed 29 security fixes!
