    Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - Gmail Temp Addresses, Russia's Internet Off Switch

    How Microsoft lured the US Government into a far deeper and expensive dependency upon its cybersecurity solutions. Gmail to offer native throwaway email aliases like Apple and Mozilla. Russia to ban several additional hosting companies and give its big Internet disconnect switch another test. Russia uses a diabolical Windows flaw to attack Ukrainians. The value of old Security Now episodes. TrueCrypt's successor. Using Cloudflare's Tunnel service for remote network access. How to make a local server appear to be on a remote public IP. How to share an 'impossible to type' password with someone. How to find obscure previous references in the Security Now podcast. What are the parameters for the expected and widely anticipated next generation Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? What do those in the industry and academia expect? And is OpenAI's Sam Altman completely nuts for predicting it next year? Is it just a stock ploy?

    Credential Exchange Protocol - DJI Sues DoD, Quantum Vs. RSA, Lost MS Logs

    Did Chinese researchers really break RSA encryption? What did they do? What next-level terror extortion is being powered by the NPD breach data?
