Meh... I know many people use the same password on all their accounts so a hack at one is essentially a hack on all of them.

Since they got hacked, I have less than zero trust for LastPass, they couldn't pay me to install it on my phone.

Many IT pros with skills in Cobol and mainframes will be aging out of the workplace in the near future. How can CIOs address the inevitable skills shortage? Because: COBOL

Of course they did. They rock.

To be fair, what technology would you use to replace a COBOL mainframe app that has been running for 40 years? How sure could you be that technology would still be supported in 20 years, let alone 40.
It's a bit sad that we have no better option for languages with longterm support.

I'm pretty sure I've been reading this article yearly since I started paying attention to the tech press in the late 90's.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We followed up to ask whether it could have been set up by a Microsoft employee without the company’s knowledge since the domain registration record points to Microsoft as the source of the hosting web server. The spokesperson declined to comment further.
Sounds like someone finally figured out a good use for the Azure credits they had shoved down their throat.
Meanwhile, of all the companies that should know the importance of preventing hostile squatters on domain variants Google should be at the top of the list.

Developers still value Apple's now-legacy language for iOS and Mac app dev, and the transition Swift will be gradual. Can we kick back?

Developers are reluctant to crystalise the sunk cost of the time they invested in a now superseded language?

Oracle's chief security officer is tired of customers performing their own security tests on Oracle software, and she's not going to take it anymore. Security through "No peeking!" Brilliant.

Next step is to ask the hackers to stop too.
Sorry, but a company as big as Oracle ought to know the legal ramifications of negligence.
What do you mean - you didn't perform a security audit on the database system holding all that data? Because Oracle said not too!

Brilliant idea
The best way to have software with no known bug is to forbid search for bugs.
MS will do anything to hire such a brilliant person.

I loved that point, where she came to threaten those who reveal a vulnerability...Good basis for long time partnership...
The most fascinating part is where she told, that Oracle does have a "fairly robust assurance programs" - it means they do not take any responsibility for your data!
Hopefully, this nice blog will upgrade Oracle's sells...
