London, Dec 30 (Ians) Call it bizarre but the recently finalised Brexit deal includes a now-defunct email software called Netscape Communicator and outdated encryption standards for containing DNA profile information between the concerned countries.
Security researchers have stumbled upon these details in the 1,256-page Brexit deal, which mentions 23-year old Netscape Communicator email software.
Netscape Communicator is simply mentioned as an example of a "modern e-mail software package" that supports s/Mime (alongside Outlook and Mozilla Mail), The Verge reported on Tuesday.
However, the use of outdated encryption standards is a bit more concerning, as "Hackaday points out that the Sha-1 hash algorithm has effectively been broken as of 2017, while 1024-bit Rsa encryption is vulnerable to brute force attacks by more powerful modern computing".
The language of the Brexit deal itself may be older than it looks.

A quick review of tonight's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" coming up just as soon as I cook my oatmeal with a road flare... That was pretty swell, wasn't it? Where "Brooklyn" episodes can at times feel too diffuse by trying to squeeze three stories into the same episode, "The Wednesday Incident" for the most part decided to stick with two. It spent a lot of time on Jake and Gina investigating the eponymous incident and why it was making Captain Holt so cranky — and had a very minor third story of sorts in Terry trying to keep the squad from angering Holt further. And it gave us just enough of Boyle vs. Garry Marshall's genial old man bank robber to appreciate the joke (and the fun of Marshall acting) without eating up too much time elsewhere. While I certainly don't mind giving every member of the ensemble something to do, I...

"24: Live Another Day" has concluded, and I have thoughts on the finale and the season as a whole coming up just as soon as I explain that it is Not pronounced "nucular," Mr. President... A strange thing happens in the introduction to the "Live Another Day" finale: Kiefer Sutherland's voiceover tells us that "The following takes place between 10 p.m. and 11 a.m.," and Sutherland makes sure to put emphasis on the last part so we know it is not a mistake, but the first significant bending of the real-time conceit in the series' history(*). (*) The prologue for the TV-movie "24: Redemption" also deviated from the real-time rule. Given that the "24" production team had spoken publicly about the way that "Live Another Day" would still encompass 24 hours in the life of Jack Bauer, despite featuring half as many episodes, the only real surprise about the time jump is...

The Nickelodeon KCAs: what time are they on, when can I watch them, and what the fudge is that green slime made out of?
As much as we all love to revel in the glory that is J-to-the-Bieber, there is not a one among us that didn’t love watching that little punk, and all his celebrity compadres, get slimed at last year’s Kids’ Choice Awards (even Taylor Swift loved watching Justin Bieber get slimed). So, naturally, we’re simply beside ourselves with glee over the fact that it’s almost time for the slimy awards show, once more. After all, celebrities are richer than most of us can ever hope to be, and that, alone, means they deserve to get slimed, right? Riiiiiiiiight? I mean, where in Sam Hill is that tax return check, anyway?!?
Seriously, When Are The Kids’ Choice Awards?
Ok, Ok, no more financial mumbo-jumbo,...
