Early Christmas present from me if you're reading this and you're a:
- Senior web developer
- In London
- Really into books and libraries
- Looking for work rn

This posting is up in Boston Spa; that's not that Boston, not /that/ Boston, keep going.... yep that one.
It's interesting to see them trying to hiring #opsec and #sysadmin skills to try and harden their systems. Wonder if it will work.

It’s interesting how many people think wanting privacy means you’re doing something nefarious. The fact is, privacy is about sharing what you want with whom you choose.

The exact circumstances around the search are not known. But activist Samuel Tunick is charged with deleting data from a Google Pixel before CBP’s Tactical Terrorism Response Team could search it.

“it is uncommon to see someone charged specifically for wiping a phone, a feature that is easily accessible in some privacy and security-focused devices.”

The museum Louvre in France was recently the victim of a heist worth over €88 million. In broad daylight.
A previous security audit revealed the following weaknesses with their security system:
1. Their password was “louvre”
2. Their security system was running on Windows 2000
Ouch.
