At #realworldcrypto, @JonMillican just announced definitively that @Facebook will ship end-to-end encryption in Messenger. Bold. No timeline was provided, however.

We are expanding the scope of our bug bounty program again, facebook.com/notes/facebook-…
3rd party apps, after user approval, have limited access to facebook user data. They must be responsible stewards of that data and this further encourages that.

Several coworkers and I put up a proposal / demo on privacy preserving reporting on third parties using blind signatures github.com/siyengar/private-…. There are a surprising number of fun sub-problems to solve along the way. We'd love feedback @taubeneck @ajknox_ @bedfordsean.

This is cool. SDLC feedback loops at scale.
"Bugs that Matter"
(1) Stats on crashes and other errors that happen in production.
(2) A "bug bounty" program, where people outside the company can report vulnerabilities
(3) Internal tracking the most severe bugs (SEV) that occur.

I'm very excited to announce that I will be joining @facebook as a security engineer soon. Shoutout to @Hacker0x01 for the real world security experience which no doubt helped me land the interviews. I look forward to being on the other side of screen evaluating incoming reports.

At first sight this sounds like a terrible idea, but in fact there's peer reviewed research on measuring the security-usability tradeoff in correcting password typos, and it turns out it makes a lot of sense to do this. cs.cornell.edu/~rahul/papers…

What annoys me most about the @nytimes #Facebook "Private Messages" story launched & everyone is copying, is that once cooler heads look into it, it will be seen as a storm in a teacup, newspapers will rage at regulators for contradicting them, & civil society will look stupid.

@MarriottRewards I stayed at the JW Marriott Miami in October. Got an email last Fri. It said they couldn’t charge my card and I needed to email (a random email domain) or fax them my CC info. Talked to a rep who confirmed the options...

Heads up regarding FB breach response. You may see some companies logging out users forcefully, similar to how Facebook responded.
This does *not* indicate that other websites were breached. /1
