A new study finds 3,000 websites on which third-party tracking companies scoop up what you type into forms in real time — even if you never hit submit. This happens on about 1,800 websites for E.U. users too, likely in violation of the GDPR. wired.com/story/leaky-forms-…

In our @IEEESP 2022 paper #NoiseSDR, @aurelsec and I build a software-defined radio transmitter out of unprivileged software and electromagnetic noise, with applications in exfiltration, tracking and injection in other receivers.

A debate on the topic of neuromorphic computing,
On the pro side: @boahen_k and Ralph Etienne-Cummings.
On the not-so-pro side: Bill Dally and yours truly.
March 7.
Replying to @ylecun
@ylecun will attempt to convince @boahen_k & Ralph Etienne-Cummings, where he believes the future of neural computing lies.
Watch the debate live FREE on the 7th March.

Proud to present this short report on the outcomes of and learnings from #NetHackChallenge21, held at @NeurIPSConf. Did DeepRL win the day, or did symbolic challengers surprise us all? What do the results tell us about next steps for AI? Read to find out!

Congratulations to @yuxiwu her for #SP22 (Oakland) paper acceptance!
We systematized extant human-centered work on #social #cybersecurity — i.e., work exploring S&P behaviors and threats in an ecosystem of inter-connectedness and influence.

This week, I joined @Visa's security engineering team as a lead data scientist.
I was drawn by the prospect of my work having an immediate impact, continuing to focus on the problems I enjoy, and most important, an awesome team.

In our new @IEEESSP 2022 paper, we measured the use of email encryption on a large longitudinal field data set (@Ch_Stransky, Oliver Wiese, Volker Roth and @yazz_acar). Our data set spans 27 years, 37k users and 81m emails.

ML in Cyber can have crazy constraints, like FPR < 0.001%, but how do you build your model to satisfy this? Surprisingly a lot of errors and little work studying low FP. Paper with @AndreNguyen16 @cknicholas starts to look at this problem! @IJCAIconf arxiv.org/abs/2108.04081

The browser event loop typically runs at 60Hz, trying to match screen refresh rate. But the exact Hz differs slightly between machines.
