🚨 BREAKING: IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. NOW PYTHON IS FACING A MASSIVE SECURITY EMERGENCY.
Python's security team has issued an URGENT warning after a certificate authority compromise put Python's HTTPS security at risk.
→ 8 CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY KEYS COMPROMISED. Some were so weak they could be cracked almost INSTANTLY.
→ FAKE TRUSTED WEBSITES: Attackers could potentially impersonate https://t.co/5DsKJZJSAI, PyPI and other websites during intercepted connections.
→ MALICIOUS DOWNLOADS: Vulnerable environments could be tricked into downloading software from attacker-controlled servers.
→ YOUR OS PATCH MAY NOT PROTECT YOU: Older versions of pip can STILL trust compromised certificates even after system updates.
→ EMERGENCY UPDATES: Python developers are being told to immediately update pip, certifi, uv and other affected tools.
→ DOCKER USERS AT RISK: Existing container images may retain vulnerable certificate stores and need rebuilding.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then LiteLLM.
NOW PYTHON.
The very systems developers rely on to establish TRUST online are becoming the attack surface.
If you use Python, PATCH NOW.
A ROBOT CLEARS A HOUSE FASTER THAN AN ASSAULT TEAM AND MAKES 0 MISTAKES
Look at the caption at the bottom of the frame, not at the machine. Test CQB-18. Headshot evaluation. That is the name of the exercise, printed by whoever runs the range.
Clearing rooms is the hardest thing infantry does. A room is decided in about 2 seconds, a team of 4 has to move as 1 body, and most of the training is not about shooting. It is about not shooting the wrong person.
Every mistake in a house comes from a nervous system. Tunnel vision. Hearing that drops out after the first shot indoors because a rifle fired inside 4 walls is deafening. A pulse at 160 and hands that will not stay still. Entire doctrines exist to work around those 4 problems.
A machine has none of them, and that changes the aiming point. Armies train center mass because the chest is the only thing a shaking human can reliably hit. Take the human out and the point of aim moves up about 30 centimetres, permanently.
Which quietly deletes the most important thing a soldier wears. Plates stop rifle rounds in the chest, and 10 kilograms of armour has been worth carrying for 60 years for exactly 1 reason: everybody was shooting at the chest.
Body armour was always a bet that the shooter is human.
