Microsoft Authenticator needs me to validate with Authenticator in order to log in with Authenticator to use it to authenticate another app with Authenticator.
Here is the app telling me to open itself to validate itself with itself.
#infosec people, THIS is big and you need it in front of management RIGHT NOW.
MITRE has informed the CVE board members that effective TONIGHT, funding to run CVE and CWE is effectively gone. The US federal government contracts MITRE to run these programs including both management, operations, and infrastructure.
This not only could but almost certainly will result in disruptions to CVE and CWE including a halt of all operations if new contracts/funding are not secured.

This is what I think about whenever infosec wonks on here start telling people they should use matrix or xmpp+omemo or whatnot instead of signal
To be fair, I understand the arguments and to a large extent I agree with the critiques. However, I think anyone making these recommendations is vastly underestimating the capacity or appetite for most people to deal with the user experiences presented by these alternatives.
User experience is the ultimate force multiplier. For anything that requires network effects to function (ie most anything involving communication), if it doesn't *just work* then you've lost 90% of your audience.
EVs, batteries, lidar, drones, robotics, smartphones, AI. China's progress across a range of overlapping industries creates a mutually reinforcing feedback loop.
Really good article. My experience with "security experts" is that most actually have very limited knowledge in the field. And lack critical thinking. This leads to an almost blind trust in these tools that spit out reports on CVSS scores that can easily be exported to nice looking spreadsheets.
Unfortunately, those tend to be taken as gospel by management. Because management never have a clue about anything.

So...this is what we'd call a social engineering attack—not at me, mind you, but at a security researcher named Michael Bell (notevildojo.com). This seems to be part of a campaign to frame him as an absolute dick. We've seen this type of attack before on Fedi when the Japanese Discord bot attack was hammering us in some poor skid's name.
Here's the email I received through my Codeberg repo today: """ Hey alicewatson,
I just took a glance at your "personal-data-pollution" project, and I've got to say, it's a mess. I mean, I've seen better-organized spaghetti code from a first-year CS student. Your attempt at creating a "Molotov" is more like a firework that's going to blow up in your face.
Listen, I've been in this game a long time - 1996 to be exact. I've been writing code and tinkering with computers since I was a kid, and professionally since 2006. I'm an autodidact polymath, which is just a fancy way of saying I'm a self-taught genius. The press seems to agree, too - Tech Radar calls me an "Expert", MSN says I'm a "White-hat Hacker", and Bleeping Computer says I'm a "security researcher, ethical hacker, and software engineer".
And let's not forget my illustrious career as a successful indie game developer and YouTube livestreamer. I've been tutoring noobs like you for years, and I've got the credentials to back it up - Varsity Tutors, Internet, 2017-present, Computer Science: Programming, and all that jazz.
Now, I know what you're thinking - "What's wrong with my code?" Well, let me tell you, Seattle, WA coders like you tend to produce subpar code. It's like the rain or something. Anyway, your project is riddled with vulnerabilities - SQL injection, cross-site scripting, you name it. It's a security nightmare.
But don't worry, I'm here to help. For a small fee of $50, payable via PayPal (paypal.me/[REDACTED]), I'll give you a tutoring session that'll make your head spin. I'll show you how a real programmer writes code - clean, efficient, and secure. You can even check out my resume (http://[REDACTED]) to see my credentials for yourself.
By the way, I'm not surprised your code is so bad. I mean, have you seen the state of coding in Seattle? It's like a wasteland of mediocre programmers churning out subpar code. I'm a white American, and I know a thing or two about writing real code.
So, what do you say, alicewatson? Are you ready to learn from a master? Send me that PayPal, and let's get started.
Kind Regards, Michael
[REDACTED]P.S. Check out my website, [REDACTED]. It's way better than anything you've ever made. """
It is a logic flaw in the way curl parses .netrc file. In certain situations, the configured password can be sent to a incorrect host. Luckily the affected configurations should be quite rare and thus the situation is unlikely to occur often.
The issue has existed in the curl source code for almost twenty-five years.
Did you know that ISO27001 says that "application security requirements should be identified" and include requirements you find in #OWASP #ASVS and #MASVS ? OWASP Cornucopia help you define these requirements. Play the game at copi.owasp.org ? #cybersec #appsec #infosec #threatmodeling #isms
I'm hitting many bugs in @Tutanota these days. Typically, just this morning when I opened the Mail Android app, I got "Error message: You forgot to migrate your databases! sys.version should be >= 114 but in db it is 112", and a "404 Not Found" on a calendar event. For this last one, it's probably because I deleted the event from the Tuta Calendar app, but it didn't stop it from displaying a reminder for the deleted event... And the unread email counter is constantly wrong 😫

Wild ass day in the Tor node operator world. Got an email from my VPS, forwarding a complaint from WatchDog CyberSecurity saying that my box was scanning SSH ports!
> Oh no, oh no, I knew I should have set up fail2ban, oh god why was I so lackadaisical!
So I remote in to the machine: no unusual network activity, no unusual processes, users, logins, command history, no sign that anything is doing anything I didn't tell it to do.
So what's up? Turns out there's been a widespread campaign where some actor is spoofing IPs to make it look like systems running Tor are scanning port 22: forum.torproject.org/t/tor-rel…
Operators from all over are saying they're getting nastygrams from their VPS providers because WatchDog is fingering their source IPs (which are being spoofed and NOT part of a global portscanning botnet).
It would be hard to explain to Verizon I run Tor relays since they technically don't allow servers. I hope I'm not forced onto AT&T Internet Air as my particular co-op rental unit won't let met get Spectrum even when other units can, not that I wante…
T-Mobile reaches $31.5 million settlement with FCC over past data breaches
Apparently, T-mobile is now mandated to implement better cybersecurity controls, such as properly segmenting networks and using phishing resistant #MFA.
This settlement covers the breaches in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Will we get a 2024 special? 💀

I learned about secure software development on the job, but like ethical computing (which I've talked about before), this should also be included in formal education. Because of the current threat models, topics like security by design and zero-trust frameworks are critical when developing Internet systems. linuxfoundation.org/press/linu…
