Who feels like too much of the Cyber operating model is luck?

If I ask Copilot anything it feels like I am burning energy somewhere far away and it takes so long I worry about my emissions. Anyone else having anxiety over this?

Browsers are too important to be left to chance. It would be good to see more academic institutions getting students interested in this type of development as part of learning but also shaping the future. https://ladybird.org/

@SecurityWriter I never thought I would see these events in my life, thinking of the people affected and hoping things stop getting worse.

Been thinking about this post lately

@mbissey Meta is a Department of War Contractor so the data is already pwned.

Having been following deforestation and conflict in equatorial countries since I was a morbid teenager had me bawling my eyes out for the loss of habitat and destruction of so much beautiful forest. This is directly connected to the Gaza genocide and has been enabled by the NATO countries complicit. #Congo #Amazon #Patagonia

Took so many pictures of wild fungi in the forest and even a few of beautiful insects and plants the end of last year. Taking Star Dog for walks everyday is helping with observing the landscape.

I have not updated my Starlink numbers in a while, and great flying fuckballs, is it ever bad. We are now up to 9,422 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 14,046 total active satellites.

1,446 Starlinks have reentered and added their 500-1500kg of computers, batteries, solar panels, and aluminum frame to the upper atmosphere (and at least one has hit the ground).

Can't wait to login to my security dashboards. Happy 2026 to everyone.

I booked tomorrow and the next day off because the 1st is a public holiday in South Africa. The good life,

I hope it will be a quiet day at work today. Last Monday of 2025. Very happy and excited to progress forward with all my projects and work in 2026. Feeling good. Finally spent time upgrading my work desk.

@davidbombal I am so disappointed that the SAAS for Screenconnect does not support encrypted Syslog :( great share though.

#ESETresearch has discovered a new 🇨🇳-aligned APT group, #LongNosedGoblin. This group focuses on cyberespionage and targets mainly governmental entities in Southeast Asia and Japan. https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/longnosedgoblin-tries-sniff-out-governmental-affairs-southeast-asia-japan/
LongNosedGoblin uses Group Policy to deploy malware and move laterally across the compromised network. Its toolset consists mainly of malicious C#/.NET applications.
One of them is NosyHistorian, used to gather the victim’s browser history and decide where to deploy further malware. This includes NosyDoor, a backdoor that uses cloud services for C&C. NosyDoor also employs living-off-the-land techniques in its execution chain.
Our blogpost describes the discovery of LongNosedGoblin, goes over its known campaigns, and provides a detailed analysis of the group’s toolset.
We also recently presented these findings at #AVAR2025 in a talk titled Sniffing Around: Unmasking the LongNosedGoblin operation in Southeast Asia and Japan.

The component costs of computing will be out of reach of many people because of AI. The same AI that requires gigawatts of energy to achieve almost nothing tangible. I thought Bitcoin was a waste but this is another level of sacrificing the future by the old money.

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

@evacide you know some cults are also quite bad. Not to connect any dots, that would be crazy. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-cult-of-moloch

This week’s M7.6 earthquake near Misawa, Japan may be over, but the science is just getting warmed up. That quake—roughly 6,500 miles from Westport, CT—sent seismic waves all the way across the planet, across Long Island Sound, and straight into our instruments.WAS’s April speaker Alan Kafka shared this fantastic image showing those waves rolling into the Westport Observatory’s seismometer. Earth is loud, even from half a world away.#Earthquake #Seismology #WestportObservatory #Science #USGS
