Had a coworker tell me "Don't let infosec get in the way of hacking" which feels like an intense bit of wisdom underneath it all.

We're gonna continue to see heightening racism towards Zohran and, more generally, Muslims. I'm not saying you gotta fist fight everyone but it's worth telling these people to shut the fuck up when they try this shit.

The world's going crazy, huh? Might as well go crazy with it!

idk man, you didn't have to do this.

Ongoing cyberattack at US grocery distributor giant affecting customer orders The primary distributor for Whole Foods said it's "diligently managing through the cyber incident" that sparked outages.

Polymorphic malware could rampage across a codebase, using a bespoke generative Al system to rewrite itself as it learns and adapts. Armies FOR AI HACKER AGENTS

I love Wired in many ways but this is nonsense, ransomware groups do just fine with phishing, stolen credentials and known vulnerabilities that haven’t been patched. This notion that attackers are going to seriously take up using GenAI just isn’t evidenced anywhere I’ve seen.

I genuinely cannot tell if this is real news or not.

Accidentally paying my power bill ahead is like finding a bunch of money somewhere when I login to pay it later.

That Turnstile show in Baltimore is gonna be something the kids there think back on in 20 years. Really cool cultural moment.

Why AI is the New Social Media Companionship is now the No. 1 use case for generative AI, filling a void Facebook could not.

Reading this approaches a topic I’ve been drafting lately, that AI is being used increasingly for companionship. A lot of folks view this as a sign of the competency of the models but I think of it as exploiting humanity’s general kindness, seeing humanity.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I'm not sure folks are aware of how extensive the technological surveillance infrastructure has been extending everywhere over the past 25 years. When you couple this with the post-9/11 legal surveillance infrastructure, you have the ingredients for an off-the-shelf police state.

I’m not really interested in most garden variety politic posting since I think “I got another thing on how Trump is a hypocrite” is a waste of time and energy.

It IS important to emphasize that the silly things we do on computers and our values around surveillance are inherently political though.

I eyeball almost all the text-based social media apps and the vibe on Threads seems to be the most conservative now which is… surprising.

Not even regular conservatism but the most unhinged and disconnected from reality takes getting plugged.

Why doesn't Looker allow me to assign what shows on the X or Y axis in their charting? Excel lets me do that...

When the status page is down, you know the service was getting killed. Welcome back, Zoom.

I don't really buy the cybersecurity experts claim of "while it's possible the user was disguising their location, it's highly unlikely they'd appear to be coming from Russia if they wanted to avoid suspicion" this is something cybercriminals do all the time. I personally used to do this. 🧵 1/?

Oh, okay. That’s funny.

I... don't understand. Are you saying Elon hacked 4chan?

MITRE's CVE is back (for now...). I wonder how the US gov't will handle this with the goal of scaling back gov't participation in cybersecurity.

It's an example of the seemingly faked images of .gov emails taking advantage of the uncertainty of their own compromise.

Admittedly, haven't read a ton about the 4Chan stuff but it's wild to be asked by non-tech friends if it was actually a gov't honeypot.

These two posts:
* “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts.

* Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/
