(1/5) Many of these Google results are clickbait PDF files, tricking users into visiting malicious webpages. We studied these campaigns first in an @ACSAC_Conf 2023 paper, characterizing their volume, duration and activity, visual deceits, and distribution means (SEO attacks!).

[ACSAC @ACSAC_Conf]

On this #ThrowbackThursday, we are looking back just one week to a very successful @LASER_Workshop with four presentations by authors of #ACSAC2023 papers on the experimental aspects of their work. Most of the slides are available online: https://t.co/bYEq9AbdJK

@IliadItalia Salve, anche io non avevo mai avuto problemi finora a ieri. Ho richiesto ieri la esim. È stata approvata e l'ho aggiunta all iPhone. Eppure non funziona, mentre la SIM fisica sul vecchio telefono ancora si connette. Come posso fare?

[ACSAC @ACSAC_Conf]

The second #ACSAC2023 paper #preview today is Stivala et al.'s work on unveiling #clickbait #PDFs on search engines. These #SEOpoisoned documents are leading to #malicious sites.

[Aurore Fass @AuroreFass]

I’m incredibly excited to join CISPA as a faculty in a few months!!

Now, I’m looking for PhD students and postdoc in the areas of Web Security & Privacy, and Web Measurement; with a specific focus on JavaScript (in)security and browser extensions.
RTs are very appreciated :)

@Clodo76 Nabu Casa hired @rhasspy, the creator of the open-source offline Rhasspy Voice Assistant.
I am a happy rhasspy user. It also has Italian :D.
You can install it on a Raspberry but no idea about the open hardware requirement.

Laut der Website wurde mein Paket (92557343831) geliefert, aber es ist nie angekommen und die Unterschrift stammt nicht von mir, sondern von einem bestimmten "Eli". Wo ist mein Paket?
