Breaking The “Unhackable” Xbox One
By Jasper van Woudenberg - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

For more than a decade, the Xbox One stood out as one of the most resilient consumer devices ever built. While other consoles from the same era were eventually jailbroken or modified, the Xbox One remained largely untouched. Its layered defenses, hardened boot process, and strong cryptographic foundations earned it a reputation as effectively “unhackable.” That assumption changed at RE//... » read more

Securing Hardware For The Quantum Era
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Quantum threats to security are already real. Adversaries are already harvesting data that will be decrypted later by quantum computers. Quantum computers capable of breaking RSA and ECC may arrive as early as next year. Asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC will become inadequate against quantum threats, while symmetric encryption (such as AES) is less vul... » read more
