Security Archives - Software Engineering DailyDigital Privacy with Aran Khanna
When Aran Khanna was a college student, he accepted an internship to work at Facebook.
Even before his internship started, he started playing around with Facebook’s APIs and applications. Aran built a Chrome extension called Marauder’s Map, which used Facebook Messenger’s web APIs to track where people lived, what their schedule was, and other highly sensitive information. These were not public features of Messenger, but Aran was able to reverse engineer the APIs.
As a result, of making Marauder’s Map, Aran’s invitation to work at Facebook was retracted. Aran remai...2018-10-0954 min

A modern factory has temperature gauges and smart security cameras to ensure workplace safety.
All of these devices could be considered “edge” devices.
Over the last decade, these edge devices have mostly been used to gather data and save it to an on-premise server, or to the cloud. Today, as the required volu...2018-01-2650 min
