What happened
Collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts (Mar–Apr 2026) covering: Bennett and Brassard winning the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography; analysis of Apple’s camera-on indicator design and its security tradeoffs; Sen. Ron Wyden warning about a potential undisclosed Section 702 NSA surveillance abuse; an Xbox One hardware compromise achieved via precise voltage-glitching (Bliss) enabling unsigned code execution; Proton Mail providing payment/metadata to Swiss authorities/FBI; a remote-control compromise of many DJI/Romo robot vacuums (IoT insecurity); and commentary on AI as an up
