Over the next few months, organisations across the EU and the rest of the world will be coming to terms with two new cyber security laws: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Directive on security of network and information systems (NIS Directive). Their requirements overlap in many places, which has inevitably led to questions about whether an organisation can be fined twice for the same incident.

The question then becomes: how do we capture them so that we can retain them for the appropriate retention period? There are several methods that can be utilized, from the simple to the more complex, and from the low- or no-cost to the moderate-cost.

TSB’s chief executive, Paul Pester, has said the bank is on its knees following last weekend’s chaotic data migration. Mr Pester’s comments are in stark contrast to the optimism shown by the chairman of TSB’s new owner, the Spanish Banco Sabadell, earlier in the week. Josep Oliu boasted that, “With this operation, Sabadell demonstrates its capacity of technological management not only in national but also international integrations.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

When I launched Pwned Passwords in August , I honestly didn't know how much it would be used. I made 320M SHA-1 password hashes downloadable and also stood up an API to query the data "as a service" by either a plain text password or a SHA-1 hash. (Incidentally, for anyone about to lose their mind over SHA-1, read that launch post as to why that hashing algorithm is used.

This seems like an absolute disaster: The very short version is that a UK bank, TSB, which had been merged into and then many years later was spun out of Lloyds Bank, was bought by the Spanish bank Banco Sabadell in 2015. Lloyds had continued to run the TSB systems and was to transfer them over to Sabadell over the weekend. It's turned out to be an epic failure, and it's not clear if and when this can be straightened out.
