News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Today Chrome is at version 68. I understand that government departments love to have explicit version support but why does this site use Flash, require IE 11 (not Edge!), old browser versions and just all this stuff that is _basic_ infosec stuff.

Perhaps this has some good information in it but if they're going to build it in this way then it's probably worth keeping internally and not releasing to the world. I think at this point it's probably harder to build something in Flash and find someone to build it in Flash than in more modern web technology.

Reverse Psychology, these are phishing attacks where they want to hack you and study your behaviour. Is it any wonder the head of the UK's MI5 Andrew Parker did Behavioural Science at Cambridge Uni?

Knowledge is power and you can not undermine the military in anyway, the military is all about control of the warzone and today you are the enemy combatant, so every asset is deployed against you to control you from the day you were born. If you think this stuff is limited to just hacking computers, consider the fact social engineering is a valid hacking attack vector. Are End User Licence Agreements just massive obvious warrant canaries when considering the legal prose?
