I envision social media where people's cell phones are the servers so we don't have to deal with corporate bullshit. If people want updates, request the RSS every 6 hour. No one needs to know what the hell I am doing every moment of my life.

I guess so. This is from the article:

Their political project uses the aesthetic of the past to sell a future where minorities are marginalized, women have no political power, and white guys are in charge. That’s how they think it all worked in the past and they’d love for it to happen again.

What the videos don't show is how bad racism was before everyone is able to record at anytime. Shows and movies were very streotypical. Actually since cancel culture wasn't a thing for not famous people, people were really racists in just everyday conversations.

The government's war on immigrants is very much like the war on drugs with were specifically created to target hippies and black communities while at the same time suppying the communities with the drugs they deemed illegal.

In terms of the environment, lead was banned in gasoline in 1996. I thought it was way earlier than that when I looked it up. Shame really. I am no a scientists and the results of microplastics in our system is still being researched but lead poisoning effects are very well documented and I believe the pernament mental effects of it can be seen in a large portion of the boomer population.

This requirement applies to “certified Android devices” that have Play Protect and are preloaded with Google apps. The Play Store implemented similar requirements in 2023, but Google is now mandating this for all install methods, including third-party app stores and sideloading where you download an APK file from a third-party source.

Yes and I could turn it off. Stop punishing developers and users because of ignorant users and malware developers.

Google should stop lying about protecting users and say the truth. This is about getting control, reducing privacy, and protecting corporate interests.

If Google really wants to help the common user then require phone manufacturers to have a minimum of 5 years of updates and don't hinder custom ROM development.

First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.

SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!

There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could've made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.

For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.

Imagine Senate passes a law to put cameras in all toilet motion sensor. People still go, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. Genital recognition technology is used to identify criminals! Do you want criminals to get away?!"

Privacy matters.

The government and corporations abused this information by stopping protestors getting to their destination.

Protestors can atleast use faraday bags or just leave their phones at home. Now they can't even get to important events.

Now this information is being used by ICE to arrest immigrants.

Considering how conservative views and Nazis are coming back in to fashion, this is very scary for anyone not white and male.

I also admire these people.

They will get fired. Same thing happened at Google. But I hope that isn't the case.

Microsoft has invested a ton of money in Israel. If in the unlikely event that they are able to be convinced to leave Israel, that would be huge.

I wonder what big trial was coming up that involved one of those videos? 🤔

I should really keep up with Windows news even if I don't use it.

Thank you for the info and thank you for posting.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's a good point. Beta users save a lot, I mean a lot, of headaches for stable users. I am not sure if Windows even does beta and alpha versions anymore.

It's scarier. They will track everything you are doing not and not have to guess what device you are using behind a shared IP address.

 

In the watering-hole attacks, threat actors infected two websites, cabinet.gov[.]mn and mfa.gov[.]mn, which belong to Mongolia's Cabinet and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They then injected code to exploit known flaws in iOS and Chrome on Android, with the ultimate goal of hijacking website visitors' devices.

Definitions:

Watering hole is a computer attack strategy in which an attacker guesses or observes which websites an organization often uses and infects one or more of them with malware. Eventually, some member of the targeted group will become infected.

Whereas zero-days are a class of vulnerability that is unknown to a software developer or hardware manufacturer, an N-day is a flaw that is already publicly known but may or may not have a security patch available.

This relatively new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation extorts victims in exchange for not leaking stolen files and sells the documents to the highest bidder if negotiations fail. The ransomware group focuses on data-theft-based extortion rather than encrypting victims' files, although they were also identified as potential buyers of Knight ransomware source code.

Since the start of the year, RansomHub has claimed responsibility for breaching American not-for-profit credit union Patelco, the Rite Aid drugstore chain, the Christie's auction house, and U.S. telecom provider Frontier Communications. Frontier Communications later warned over 750,000 customers their personal information was exposed in a data breach.

 

Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announces its cyber incident reporting form moved to the new CISA Services Portal as part of its ongoing effort to improve cyber incident reporting.

One of the vulnerabilities (identified as CVE-2024-27198) has a near-maximum severity CVSS rating of 9.8 out of 10 and is an authentication bypass issue in TeamCity's Web component. Researchers from Rapid7 who discovered the vulnerability and reported it to JetBrains have described it as enabling a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code to take complete control of affected instances.
