Now there's a protest sign you don't see often.

Signal provides:

- Excellent protection against third party interception of communications (wiretapping).

- Limited protection against compromised (hacked) or lost devices

- No protection against certain common usage mistakes (accidentally including a reporter in your large group war planning chat).

The White House are bringing in Elon Musk, not Mandiant, to look at how a reporter ended up in the Signal chat.

Elon has publicly tweeted many times that Signal isn’t secure, and told people to use Telegram (lol) - so basically, Signal, CISA and likely the reporter are going to get thrown under the misinformation bus next week. Elon is absolutely clueless about everything security.

The fact that there's a market for an app like "Covenant Eyes" among Christians tells me quite a lot about Christians.

God, I despise Linkedin posts from "independent" consultants that claim they sell nothing, so everyone should listen to them. You live off selling your own time and advice you schmuck, you're there to drive demand for it. Go jump in the sea with the rest of them.

Oh well, at least they're all there on merit

So how's that blockchain project going?

I cannot overemphasize how much of playing defense in US corporations, civil society, and government has been about trying to keep the Russians out of your shit.

Sure, #Skype was nice twenty years ago, but it turned into a hot mess once Microsoft got its hands on it. Nothing used to break my spirit as much as trying to secure Skype installations. Teams is bad, but nowhere near as bad as MS Skype was.

@skry I dunno, seems like people might want to look at some DLP solutions for AI security?

Fairly soon one of these 4chan dweebs are going to give away access to something that goes boom, right?

The best thing about having a cloud-based "ztna" offering is that you never have to publicise your vulnerabilities. #zerotrust #ztna #circus

Crowdstrike "did not participate"

EFF was proud to call Aaron Swartz a friend and ally. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/11/celebrating-life-aaron-swartz-aaron-swartz-day-2024

Another reminder why not to leave VNC with no password facing the internet - this one from Alligator Black Hat. #threatintel

Turns out if a technology comes along that dismantles the basic interpersonal building blocks of everyday life in this world and replaces it with constant 24/7 insubstantial but incredibly loud screams of existential agony, both overt & covert, the world…starts to come apart at the seams.

We used to call that the Singularity. Funny how we thought it hadn’t happened yet.

Come on people, we don't put our migration tools on the open net do we?

All roads lead to trains or something like that

Cc: @trains

Besides funny, this *is* the truth, after all. If a "highway system" is congested enough that someone needs to obtain optimizations by machine, then the solution will invariably be high-capacity mass transit, and trains are the best for the job.
