At Black Hat, security researcher Vangelis Stykas reveals what he found by lurking inside North Korean hackers’ infrastructure for nearly two years: They got footholds inside 1,640 networks, by his count. About half of those intrusions were serious breaches. www.wired.com/story/a-secu...

Periodic reminder that if you are being asked by a captcha to type any kind of combinations of keys & especially if they look like shortcut key stroke combinations it is an attack called ClickFix. Basically the prompt is to fool you into downloading & installing malicious software. Stay vigilant!

This is new and completely wierd. To proof that I am not an AI, cloudflare now wants me to enter something in the terminal, of unknown origin. Sorry, no way.

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

I generated a realistic Amsterdam street with AI. It does not exist. Then I asked a new ChatGPT chat to geolocate it. It confidently named a real street. Then it found no strong AI tells. For OSINT, seeing is no longer believing. Verification is. Read: www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-ams...

The Amsterdam Street That Never Existed

AI can generate a convincing Amsterdam street that never existed, then fail to recognize its own fiction when asked to geolocate it. This experiment shows why visual plausibility is no longer proof. F...

Ireland said this at the International Court of Justice over two years ago, in February 2024. It still hasn't lived up to its own words.

No it won't. I don't know why western companies keep falling for this bs every time. They'll force you into a partnership with a local firm, steal all your IP, and then snuff out your market share out globally.

The first programmers were women who went from writing code that looks like the above, to writing code that looks like this, the Apollo 11 mission guidance computer. And even then, it was gendered as women's work.
