Weird to see Paris just under 20Mbps, the whole city is covered with fiber


For the football games, they turned on the encryption shortly after the game started. This created the expression "but en clair" ("unencrypted goal") where a team would score so early that the encryption was still off.


>300 to 800 factories yearly closed their doors in France since the introduction of the Euro.

Have you got a source on that? The data I can find [1] says 600 total have closed between 2009 and 2018.

from this source: https://fr.slideshare.net/dcousquer/2018-un-ralentissement-e... , slide 5.


Here, 900 factories closed from 2009 to 2011: https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2011/12/28/pres-de-9...

This has been more or less the trend from 2001 to 2016. There was a slight upturn for 2017-2018, then it went down again in 2019.


If you're thinking of a private actor, I think that once you have access to MBS phone, you run to Doha before attacking Bezos. Qatar would pay a ton of money for that access.

If you're thinking of a state actor except Saudi Arabia, I think there would be much easier and more discreet vectors to Jeff Bezos Whatsapp than MBS phone (literally almost any of Bezos other contacts would be less risky).


YMMV I guess. I'm in France too and none of those points apply to my experience (except the monthly fee for the debit card and the snail mail for the new PIN). I have not set foot in my physical branch in 10 years, and have not written a paper check since 2011.


They've been used in France for a spectacular evasion (Antonio Ferrara in 2003), and attacks against Brinks armored trucks


I don't see how this could happen at Tutanota


From https://tutanota.com/faq

"Your private key is encrypted with your password. This way your login password receives the status of the private key."

"Your password is never transmitted to the server in plain text. It is salted and then hashed with bcrypt locally on your device so that neither the server nor we have access to your password."

What's stopping them (or being commandeered) to serve you modified javascript which sends them your password, or this being done via an unsanitised email viewed via their web UI?

Having worked for two email companies for over 10 years, I know not trust email providers for privacy.

Thinking about this more, the threat model here was an insider. This is something that Tutanota wouldn't be able to prevent with its advertised services given the same situation.


Client side hashing + SRI


Same here, but I add advertising to my personal list of sectors to avoid.
