2014

I had wrongly advised before to simply change your passwords for services you find critical. What I should have said was to: a) consult your online services and check if their services have been affected b) if they have been affected check if they have implemented an update to handle the bug c) after a patch ...

I have been receiving emails from various services telling me that they had been vulnerable to the heartbleed bug.

Συγχωρέστε τα Ελληνικά μου καθώς όπως φαίνεται από το παρών άρθρο τα φιλολογικά δεν τα έχω. Ακόμα και εγώ όμως με τα λίγα Ελληνικά μου, όταν ακούω άτομα να μιλούν σε μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης, δεν μπορώ παρά μόνο να εκνευρίζομαι. Να αρχίσω με την ποσότητα.

I cannot be untouched by what has happened today at Mari. The amount of irresponsibility that fills every part of our society has lead to yet another destruction. A place filled with educated scientists, with an enormous government workforce, has managed to come up with a plan to actually store high explosive under the blazing cypriot sun. Surprise surprise … they exploded. In a place where everyone ...
