Dan Goodin reports via Ars Technica: Three years ago, Apple introduced a privacy-enhancing feature that hid the Wi-Fi address of iPhones and iPads when they joined a network. On Wednesday, the world learned that the feature has never worked as advertised. Despite promises that this never-changing address would be hidden and replaced with a private one that was unique to each SSID, Apple devices have continued to display the real one, which in turn got broadcast to every other connected device on the network. [...] In 2020, Apple released iOS 14 with a feature that, by default, hid Wi-Fi MACs when devices connected to a network. Instead, the device displayed what Apple called a "private Wi-Fi address" that was different for each SSID.

Answering honestly on the SF-86 is always the best policy. But even if you were honest on the form, undergoing a polygraph has questions that can slip up security clearance applicants. One ClearanceJobsBlog.com subscriber writes: I'm currently in the hiring and security clearance process for a 3-letter agency. Last week I had my Polygraph and Psychology exams. I was told by the Poly examiner that I passed the Counterintelligence section but didn't pass the Personal Conduct section. While the examiner was probing as to why I might have a reaction to the Personal Conduct section, I provided information on minor crimes including but not limited to music piracy and possession of illegal fireworks. I did not mention those occurrences or any other minor crimes on the SF86. I thought I was in the clear as the Background Investigator stated during the interview the scope of the investigation was only going back 7 years, which those "crimes" were committed outside of the...

Hardware specialist, VBH, has reported a surge in the popularity of the ArTech tilt & turn system from Italian hardware manufacturer, AGB. Why ArTech is gaining popularity VBH advise that ArTech is treated with Activeage 'Hi-Protection' coating that enables the hardware to withstand over 2,000 hours of testing in a neutral salt spray environment. Activeage is a 3-stage finish, incorporating layers of zinc, chromic passivation with silica Nano particles, and finally an organic mineral protection coating. ArTech is available in surface fit, jigless, rebated, and concealed hinge variants, all with standard level and PAS24 security level options. Upgrading between the two is easy, with only minimal hardware changes. VBH cites the system's security performance as a major reason why so many fabricators are switching to ArTech. Security spec windows have been tested to forces of 5.5KN, nearly double the forces specified in PAS24.  What VBH says...
