“… Passwork also has a sister company in Russia that holds contracts with sanctioned firms and operates with a license from the FSB, Russia's domestic intelligence service and successor to the KGB.” www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/ar...

Although it presents itself as a Spanish company, Passwork was actually developed in Russia and operates with a license from Russia's FSB domestic intelligence agency. The situation raises major secur...

“At a cryptographic level, this tells us something very simple: the providers are probably using a single global key to encrypt and authenticate all reasoning data sent to the client.” Oh for fuck’s sake

Last week I discovered that ChatGPT and Claude will send you their “encrypted raw reasoning” and of course I immediately wasted a weekend trying to do something bad with it. What I got for my trouble was this blog post: blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/05/29/f...

“The extreme power users definitely tipped the scales, as just two percent of them in the fiction category were responsible for more than 80 percent of the conversations. And our ‘Doki Doki Literature Club!’ pregnancy fetishist was the king of them all.” 🤨 futurism.com/artificial-i...

“For years, cybersecurity professionals have been repeating the same warning: Every company will eventually be breached.” “Then why do so many organizations still behave as if the near sole purpose of cybersecurity is to prevent the breach from ever happening?” 🙄 www.csoonline.com/article/4188...

Cybersecurity is no longer about protection. It’s about survival.

Yes, protection still matters. But if you can’t survive the breach, was the wall ever a viable security strategy?

There we go. US Gov tightens post-quantum cryptography transition deadlines for high-value systems to 2030 for key exchange and 2031 for signatures. Also, speeding up the CMVP (FIPS 140 validation) processes. That’s how you know the rush is real. The quantum computers are (potentially) coming.

GenAI still has the potential to end civilization as we know it. But instead of it being through robots with guns, it will be through our own laziness and stupidity.

Really cool (and somewhat freighting) work on Gen AI use and highschool performance in China. Homework Scores rocket up, time spend doing homework collapses, then predictably exam scores are way down. Results show bimodal response ~75% see scores drop, the other 20-25% keep doing the work.

The FCC Wants to Eliminate Burner Phones

The FCC Wants to Eliminate Burner Phones - Schneier on Security

A proposed FCC rule would kill burner phones: phones whose accounts are not attached to a particular person. The FCC plans to do this by legally forcing the country’s telecoms to store a wealth of personal information about essentially all phone customers, including a government issued identification number and their physical address, alarming privacy advocates and civil rights activists who compare the measures to those from authoritarian countries where it can be difficult to buy a mobile phone plan without giving up your identity. The proposed change would drastically shake up how people obtain phone plans in the U.S., and have all sorts of privacy and cybersecurity knock-on effects. The FCC is proposing the data collection partly as a way to combat scammers, with telecoms being required to collect other information on business and foreign customers like the intended use case of their bulk phone plan purchase and their IP address. But the changes would mean telecoms collect data on all new and renewing customers, and the FCC provides a long list of other things that the collected data could help authorities with...
