Browser Makers Agree to Move Web Documentation to Mozilla's Portal

Who says big companies can't get along?

 

Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and the W3C have agreed today to unify all their documentation sites under one single roof, on Mozilla's MDN portal.

 

The MDN portal has over 34,500 documentation pages and over 20,500 contributing users. Mozilla founded the MDN portal in 2005 when the foundation grew out of the old Netscape project. The MDN portal evolved from the old Netscape Navigator browser docs, was initially named the Mozilla Developer Center, and was later rebranded to the Mozilla Developer Network. For who still remembers the browser wars, it's ironic that Microsoft is now moving Edge doc pages to MDN.

Google and IBM launch open-source security tool for containers

 

Google and IBM, together with a few other partners, released an open-source project that gathers metadata that developers can use to secure their software.



 

The API will collect the metadata defining a user’s software environment. One of its main advantages is that it can give devs a better view into when and where the code is being changed, and who’s changing it.

 

Besides Google and IBM, JFrog, Red Hat, Black Duck, Twistlock, Aqua Security and CoreOS worked on the project.

North Korean Hackers Used Hermes Ransomware to Hide Recent Bank Heist

Evidence suggests the infamous Lazarus Group, a hacking crew believed to be operating out of North Korea, is behind the recent hack on the Far Eastern International Bank (FEIB) in Taiwan.

Bleeping Computer has detailed the timeline of events.
