Crypto-currencies cause deaths, says Gates

av Mikael Winterkvist | mar 2, 2018 | Notiser

Crypto-currencies are killing people in a “fairly direct way”, Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said.

He was referring to the way digital currencies like Bitcoin are used to buy drugs like synthetic opioid fentanyl.
In an “ask me anything” session on news website Reddit, he said that the anonymity of digital currencies meant they were linked to terrorist funding and money laundering.

Gratistipset: KeePassXC

Gratistipset: KeePassXC

KeePassX är ett utmärkt och säkert sätt att förvara lösenord men programmet är en smula ålderstiget. Huvudsakligen på grund av bristande underhåll. Det är där KeePassXC kommer in i bilden.

KeePassXC är en så kallad fork, en ny linje i utvecklingen som tagits över av nya utvecklare som jobbar på att uppdatera programmet och behålla det som är bra och som fungerar.

KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, a native cross-platform port of KeePass Password Safe, with the goal of extending and improving it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-roch, fully cross-platform, and modern open-source password manager.

Features

Encrypted – The complete database is always encrypted with the industry-standard AES (alias Rijndael) encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. KeePassXC uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. Your wallet works offline and requires no Internet connection.
Cross-Platform – KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, the cross-platform port of KeePass for Windows. Every feature works cross-platform and was thoroughly tested on multiple systems to provide users with the same look and feel on every supported operating system. This includes the beloved Auto-Type feature.
Open Source – The full source code is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. We see open source as a vital prerequisite for any security-critical software product. For that reason, KeePassXC is and always will be free as in freedom (and in beer). Contributions by everyone are welcome!
