On March 19, 2012, the European Commission hosted this year’s Safe Harbor Conference in Washington, D.C., to address the transfer of data from Europe to the United States. Although it appears the Safe Harbor framework will remain unchanged for the time being, it seems unlikely the United States will be considered adequate, or even interoperable, with the EU for purposes of cross-border data transfers.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

I've had cause to be staring at memory maps recently across a variety of systems. No surprise then that some suboptimal or at least interesting ASLR quirks have come to light. 1) Partial failure of ASLR on 32-bit Fedora My Fedora is a couple of releases behind, so no idea if it's been fixed. It seems that the desire to pack all the shared libraries into virtual address 0x00nnnnnn has a catastrophic failure mode when there are too many libraries: something always ends up at 0x00110000.

This year's Pwn2Own and Pwnium contests were interesting for many reasons. If you look at the results closely, there are many interesting observations and conclusions to be made. $60k is more than enough to encourage disclosure of full exploits As evidenced by the Pwnium results , $60k is certainly enough to motivate researchers into disclosing full exploits, including sandbox escapes or bypasses.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.
