@Revolut_io @GillesPavan @DocSparse @github That sounds expensive, drawn out, and not something I would ever want to have to deal with.

@RobertArthurBT @JimboWinsbro @fastly Status pages are definitely something you want to outsource or at the very least host on a separate platform!

@BLKMDL3 @elonmusk @Tesla I'd like to see even an uncertified video of it before calling it real.

@ShimonPro "any potential intoxicants in his system" meaning we didn't find anything in his system

For anyone interested in android and COVIDsafe

The #covidsafe app is now available in Australia 😷

However, it's a shame that they have decided not to release the source code for full transparency.

Luckily, I'm a curious chap and also a professional mobile developer.

@rollthestack Last I read about this, the attack was only on the mail app (no rootkits :'( ). An interceptor service that scans your mail is a good defence. Preventing background downloads only delays the attack if you use apple mail... Unless you check every email using another app first.

@AlCapwn6 @comp6441 It's rather amazing, the internet has been around our whole lives yet it's still so young people are finding new ways to apply old technologies all the time!

DDG botnet was first seen 2 years ago but resurged with P2P communication. The new layer means that the botnet can continue to function even if connections to the control center are severed.

@socc_drawer Hahahahaha what is this!? Do they realize they're late to April Fools?

Zoom has had a spike in popularity for use in WFH/LFH, and with fame comes scrutiny.

Ex-NSA hacker Patrick Wardle has discovered 2 zero-days in Zoom's macOS client that could grant local root privileges.

@WellPaidGeek I was half-way through cracking open the champagne :(

@AOC Well you see, it's called unregulated capitalism. When you work you get paid and you use that money to pay for things. When you don't work you go hungry on the street.

Oh boii....

I won't say where for obvious reasons, but let's just say it's a long-standing, well respected, and trusted organization with global ties.

Researchers were able to crack a 4096-bit RSA key by listening to the high-frequency hum of a CPU with a microphone. They were able to do this 30cm away with a cellphone.

@rollthestack Security questions are a common verification used in phone calls. So it's likely a politeness ("workplace hazard") concern not a security one :)

@Bcklandisdreamy Reuse bags, not your password.

999 is the most secure combination for a 3 wheel lock against an in-order brute-force attack. It's also probably one of the first 20 codes tried in a dictionary attack.

The perfect (proven uncrackable) cipher is a truly random secret, the same length or longer than the message. As long as it's never used again.

Now I just need a secure way to get the cipher to you...
