Red teamer here. We've been doing this for a long time for all kinds of evasion. Storing payloads in Azure blob storage, for example, is an amazingly effective way to deliver malwa…

Classic mLmK0, I should have known

This was posted 38 minutes ago, and as of 20 minutes ago, several Anthropic services are now designated as having a "major outage". Doubt these are related, but it made me laugh a …

Agreed. I will certainly be keeping my current device around and will buy the newest one possible for longevity.

I, too, would prefer Google not have their hands in a lot of my stuff. That doesn't mean the federal government won't take it personally that I won't let them look at all of it and…

The DOJ is attempting to prosecute, so I suppose the success or failure of that will tell us what we need to know about bridges and slopes.

The track record for book-to-TV adaptations across Hollywood is pretty poor on average. An adaptation can't always be 100% true to the source material, but the LOTR trilogy is a ne…

On one hand, I love GrapheneOS and see it as a cornerstone of digital privacy software. I have supported the project financially for years. On the other hand, I'm worried that the …

As long as the UI improves and I can ignore all the AI stuff they're starting to push through, that's fine with me, though like many longtime macOS users, I'm not holding my breath…

Also a liquid glass hater, but for what it's worth, 27 is supposed to make it a little bit better. I would prefer to go back to what I had before I had to upgrade into this horribl…

If you care about privacy, you simply cannot use Windows. Microsoft has made it clear over the last decade (if not longer) that they have a vested interest in compromising your abi…

Surely this won't have the opposite effect that they're looking for.

You're citing some of the results of a runaway healthcare industrial complex, such as drug prices, as reasons why the thing that would keep such a complex from emerging won't work.…

There is more to a public web service's digital attack surface than what it looks like in a browser. Correlating and using breached passwords from someone's unrelated accounts to t…

This is a classic logical error. It is not the job of the citizenry to prove that surveillance doesn't curb terrorism in order to preserve privacy. It is the job of the government …

>"He said that, based on talks with Uber's senior engineering leaders, he realized higher token usage did not translate into a proportional increase in useful consumer features." G…

I would like to think they'll be the only ones punished, should punishment come. And as a disclaimer for what I'm about to say, I'm neither a Wall Street banker nor an AI company e…

I'm in a position right now where I'm trying to decide if staying in my own field of information security is worth it to me. I have an entire project plan built out for using local…

A place to see content that is actually relevant to my field with as little algorithmic intervention as possible. There is still a presence within the readership here that verges o…

It starts with relying less and less (as is possible) on outsourced digital assets such as photo storage, social media accounts, etc. while I'm still alive. After that, I have stri…

This is some anecdata, but I'll share it nonetheless as I have a pretty wide network of software and security engineer friends from which I've heard the following. Almost no one I …

I often wonder if whatever it is we currently experience as consciousness or self-awareness was a major contributor to species-wide problems such as climate change. Having come acr…

Ah, okay, thank you. I was expecting it to work more like Mastodon in the sense that I can go to a different instance and interact with accounts seamlessly without having to bring …

I was trying to interact with the account mentioned in the grekpak blog post here: https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7... I can't comment, follow, like, or…

I might be missing something about the protocol, but when logged into BlueSky, I can't interact with BlackSky accounts at all. I specifically have to have an account there to even …
