For organizations that run a self-hosted Git platform, it’s no longer just about hosting static code repositories. Today, Git servers are responsible for deployment pipelines, API tokens, SSH keys, package repositories, and the automation scripts that push code directly. Confirm that the upgrade addresses known vulnerabilities but also provides production environments. . That makes them trusted systems within the development environment and attractive targets for attackers looking to move...

Every system admin has lived through the same Monday morning ritual. A queue of forty tickets, half of them password resets, permission errors, or disk space warnings that any experienced technician could resolve in under two minutes. The other half require actual judgment. For years, automation promised that software would eventually sort the two apart on its own. That promise is now being tested in production Linux environments. . Early results are reshaping how IT teams think about tier-1...

Business Email Compromise used to be a numbers game — mass-blasted emails, broken English, an obvious "URGENT WIRE TRANSFER" subject line. That era is over. Generative AI has turned BEC into a tailored, low-noise operation that mimics writing style, voice, and even video presence. This piece looks at what's actually changed under the hood, what defenders are testing in response, and why so many organizations are still structurally unprepared for it. .

Innovative Hacker-Proof Network Development Amidst Quantum Threats

In Cambridge, Mass., not too far from the Charles River, which cuts near Harvard and M.I.T., David Pearson is attempting to build an un-hackable network. Pearson is a division scientist at BBN Technologies, a private research company in Cambridge, Mass., which is most famous for building, in 1969, the first few nodes of a computer network connecting its headquarters to Harvard University and Boston University that over time would evolve into the Internet. Now the firm has built a network it says is impervious to hackers. . "If someone is eavesdropping, they introduce errors into the communications," Pearson says. "If that happens we just throw the keys away and start over." For decades, public networks have done a fair job of protecting most sensitive communications from all but the most determined efforts to crack them. But the field is changing quickly. Looming on the horizon is the threat of quantum computing, which one day will render conventional data security algorithms obsolete. The link for this article located at Forbes.com is no longer available. . 'If someone is eavesdropping, they introduce errors into the communications,' Pearson says. 'If that. cambridge, charles, river, which, harvard, david. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
