@Captain_C2 @alisha_hg I lived in London, had a car, and never ever drove to go shopping. Picked up food at the supermarket every other day as we passed on the way back from work

@joedevon @pvncher @windsurf Yeah had exactly the same thing. Download the new version and all fine (and the old one wasn't actually malware)

Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

'Some nines' availability

[abhisek @abh1sek]

Is this the new acceptable baseline?

@Ztx294 @ChappyLaffyDuck @Richard_AHolmes @maitlis It's impossible to get the full context from that snippet - but I think you're stretching a bit there.

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@Richard_AHolmes I don't think thats an accurate take on what the message says. 'Send over the handful of names you mentioned' - how are they advising him to mislead? Just telling him to follow the process?

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@ZackKorman @techspence Yeah secure mine too please

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

This is amazing. Literally just ask to take over an account.

[impulsive @weezerOSINT]

meta gave their AI support agent the ability to modify your instagram account. no identity verification. people figured this out and accounts are being taken over right now

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@Osinttechnical Apparently you could just ask the Meta support AI to change the email address associated with accounts - and it would do it.

Appears that the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force’s Instagram account has been compromised by Iranian hackers, and has been posting Iranian propaganda for the last hour.

@kmcnam1 @ZackKorman As a French resident who is going through the naturalisation process, I am envious.

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@IceSolst Graylog ftw.

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@Alph4betSoup I didn't know that - not that I use it much

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@Artemisapphire How are you feeling?

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@mikenelson586 At least he’s bringing snacks

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@fs0c131y French please. Good practise for me.

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@chompie1337 Haha the BBC headline disagrees (although I think they quoted you accurately from your screenshot).

@LisaForteUK Iran definitely. I think probably unlikely though, but fingers crossed.

[Robert Pritchard @TheCyberSecExp]

@Alph4betSoup No. Needs to be done at the application or network layer but nothing applied between ground station and satellite.
