The laptop security: "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."
Looks like the SSL inspector is feeling a bit overprotective today.

🚨 ALERT! 🚨 #NextJS finally achieved what we all thought impossible: a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability! 🎯 Bravo, they've hit the bullseye of FAIL! 🙈 It's always heartwarming when devs leave the #backdoor open for #hackers to make themselves at home. 🏠🔓

This is a "fun" read.
I've never really understood why sites like the ones covered in this article exist, since they cater to people who should be pretty comfortable with command-line linting/pretty-printing tools. But now I know that they survive (thrive on ad revenue, even!) because so many of their users are a few bits short of a byte.

It's so much worse than you may've heard. The clown show is _spectacular_. It's a five-season arc in progress of only the most upper level, purest clownery.
Here's a very high view on The WAN Show (jump to 3:12:09 if the time stamp start doesn't work):

Oh wow, the Louvre’s surveillance password was literally Louvre. Nothing says world class security like using the museum’s own name 😜
Thieves: $102M in jewels, 7-minute heist, cherry picker exit
Louvre: We couldn’t have foreseen this

Sicherheitsbewusstsein bei Privatpersonen ist ja oft ein Witz, aber "Louvre" als Passwort zu wählen, ist fast schon Kunst. 😬🖼️
Veria Labs has discovered that MCP's authentication is about as secure as a wet paper towel, leading to #RCE in Claude Code and Gemini CLI 🤦♂️💻. The article is a rollercoaster of jargon trying to sound important while basically saying, "Oops, we broke everything!" 🤷♀️🔧. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is scrambling like headless chickens to patch this mess 🐔🔥.

Trying to book a vaccination through boots.com and navigating through the calendar looking for available appointments results in the request being blocked by their security service.
Maybe test your security service with normal functionality on your site before rolling it out.
Time to complain about MS Teams again. Locked me out of my account last week for "suspicious activity" which was a bug on their end which kept asking me to login. But still dutifully sends me email updates from Teams #SecurityFail
🧠🔒 So, an "elite" Air National Guard member thinks $250/month for plugging laptops into random networks is a steal? 🙄 Welcome to the world of 'legal botnets', where your top secret clearance means you can be legally clueless. 🔌💸 #SecurityFail

Ah, the SSO Hall of Shame: where companies treat essential security like a preposterous premium add-on. 🎟️ Why bother with proper authentication when you can nickel and dime clients in the name of "luxury"? 🙄 Because who needs security when you have profits to make, right? 💸

In 2005, Sony shipped audio CDs with copy protection that secretly installed a rootkit on Windows PCs. This hidden software cloaked itself, opened security holes, and resisted removal, sparking outrage when researchers exposed it. The backlash was massive, forcing Sony to recall millions of discs and forever tainting the company’s reputation in the security community.

#ebay needs to update their #GeoIP database.
I've just logged on from an old computer in my house, and it's sent me an email saying someone has logged in from Shropshire, which is over 100miles away, when most sites think I am based in North London (which is still wrong, but my ISP is at least based there).
No other site seems to ever think I'm in Shropshire.
I wish companies would just list the IP address and browser details in their "a new device had logged in to you account" emails, any other details seem to be totally wrong, and therefore useless 🤬
Yikes. Top Trump officials used Signal for classified Yemen strike plans & accidentally added The Atlantic's editor to the chat. Major security questions arise, especially around Defense Sec Hegseth's handling of sensitive info.
