Bletchley Park secrets world war two snowden

    Interesting article describing the people who worked at Bletchley Park (UK) during WWII and the secrecy act that kept them silent. The article makes compelling comparisons to people today like Edward Snowden, who are legally bound to secrecy but ignore it. What are the ethical implications of being asked to keep military secrets? Of sharing military secrets? How do the differences between today's generation and the WWII generation affect how these ethics are viewed?

    I thought the author of this post did a great job explaining the experiment and the point of his research. Additionally, he was able to clarify complex scientific words and processes, without spending too much time explaining every detail. The overall structure of the blog post is well done, as the author progresses from an explanation of the experiment, to the meaning of certain results, to the results themselves.

    Malicious adverts have been found on the UK version of the Match.com dating website. Anyone caught out by the booby-trapped ads could fall victim to ransomware, said security company Malwarebytes, which spotted the cyber-threat. The malicious ads appeared on pages of the dating site via an ad network that pipes content to Match and many other places.

    "The remains of a World War Two carrier pigeon which was lost in action 70 years ago while delivering a top secret message over enemy lines has been found in a chimney in Bletchingley, Surrey. The skeleton of the bird has a small red cylinder attached to its foot which contains a mysterious cigarette paper sized coded message. The message is deemed so sensitive, that Codebreakers at GCHQ in Cheltenham are now frantically trying to decipher it."

    Clues left in the clumsily encrypted notes of a Mafia don have helped Italian investigators to track his associates and ultimately contributed to his capture after years on the run. The recently busted Bernardo Provenzano, reputed to be the "boss of bosses" of the Sicilian Mafia, used a modified form of the Caesar cipher to obscure "sensitive information" in notes left to either his family or underlings.

    "Around sixty Bletchley Park veterans gathered again at the Home of the Codebreakers on Sunday 2nd September, for the annual Enigma Reunion. The event is timed each year to coincide with the anniversary of the arrival of the first codebreakers at Bletchley Park, after they received the coded message 'Auntie Flo is not so well', indicating they should report for top secret duties."
