2007: Joybubbles, a notorious early phone phreaker, died in Minneapolis at age 58.

Born blind as Josef Carl Engressia Jr., at age 7 he learned he could activate phone switches by whistling.

McDonald's uses an AI bot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security flaws as basic as using the password "123456". https://t.co/55WueJz3Of

@thefoodbabe The EPA has been pretty useless but seems like it will be even more so now? If your admin does not ban atrazine, will you speak out? https://t.co/mEA0uw28zx

There has never been a more urgent time for hackers to stand up, speak up and show a different example and path forward than whatever power grab Musk and his tech fan bros are pulling.

I find it so objectionable when someone writes a popular book that so obviously relies on primary academic and journalistic sources and fails to acknowledge them. That's way worse than, say, piracy. Give credit where credit is due. Whats gut wrenching is it is written by a hacker

[Gabriella "Biella" Coleman @BiellaColeman]

The book covers a very obscure hacking and infiltration case from France, and we only know the details due to the work of a journalist who I interviewed here about this case. For x's sake, throw people who worked hard on things a freaken bone. https://t.co/0dSMDtVaYR

It's frankly a complete joke that computer science graduates are not exposed to secure programming and secure by design as part of the CS curriculum. Drop a current required course and add this. There really isn't anything more important.

NEW: Lawmakers call for accountability over hacking of @exxonmobil's critics.

The sprawling hack & leak operation, featuring hackers-for-hire from #India was revealed by us @citizenlab & @Reuters back in 2020.

Reports are now pointing to a role for DC public relations firm @DCIGroup..

Two private spies have been arrested, with one already convicted, but environmental groups now worry that that the consequences will stop short before reaching the ultimately responsible parties.

1987: Chicago TV stations WGN and WTTW had their signals overridden in 2 separate incidents by a man in a Max Headroom mask. To this day, the perpetrator is unknown. The second incident was...uh...wow...just wow. Just watch it. 👀

Some thoughts on the classic @cdc_pulpit documentary "Disinformation" are up at @HackCurio:

https://t.co/7o7joE4MsS

Remarkably prescient material for the 90s --- all from a hacker group that has always been one step ahead of everyone else when it comes to the media.
