@HamZa Hey, you built your blog with Jekyll right?

Did you use GH Pages + Jekyll I've got a question (admittedly I could probably Google this but...)

Heh, question - how did you remove the "view on GitHub" button? :O

I'm guessing you just removed the header in a custom CSS file?

@J.J no, i just change the source template
do you have yours on github? can you provide the link?
 
Anonymous
I do, yes.

But, I would rather not provide the link because it's under my alias and as you can see I don't use my alias here :p

So, would this be the appropriate site to ask a security-related technical question about a recent news event?
For example: Regarding the NY Times article about the President continuing to use a non-secured (commercial) iPhone, and his calls being intercepted by the Russians and the Chinese
My question would be: What, if anything, do we know about this, from a technical perspective? Has his phone been hacked? Have the cell towers been breached? Is there an iPhone specific vulnerability being taken advantage of here?
I've browsed the technical media sites and haven't seen anyone attempt to dig into these details
Original NY Times article:
Are there risks that your everyday iPhone user can mitigate somehow? Or is nation-state hacking an entirely different category of problem to normal IT security?

@BradC actually there has been some discussion about this online
This is obviously horrible on many levels. As a nerd, I feel like some of us need to dive into the practical issues. How are US adversaries tapping Trump’s iPhone? Let’s look at options. https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1055216027322195970

@michaelgruso @alexstamos We’re all wondering if there’s a serious flaw in LTE encryption. But since many of the protocols are carrier-specific and unpublished, nobody can say for sure.
