I’ve been in the security business since 1999 and the past month has been like nothing I’ve seen before in terms of 0day vulnerabilities. We were told this wouldn’t happen until mythos was made public 🙃

If you run a peertube instance and have not patched in the past 4 hours, you are way behind and likely have been compromised. The latest patch will help clean up the mess.

A button gives the option to “text President Trump,” which, when clicked, opens a text message to a pre-selected number with the default text “Greatest President Ever!”
Feeling pretty good about stocking up on 4 of these bad boys at the end of 2024, when they could be had for ~$350 each. Now, just one of these drives costs as much as I paid for all 4. Thanks, AI!

Looking for early reviewers on chapters 2 + 3 of my BSc thesis (Pterodo network architecture + WinRAR exploit chain).
Project notes live at github.com/palianytsia-200/U-OB-KY. Draft PDFs available — DM here on Mastodon or email palianytsia.200@ukr.net. Happy to trade reviews (your DFIR / detection-engineering writeup for mine).
Especially looking for anyone with hands-on Gamaredon incident-response experience. The thesis is methodology-heavy but I want feedback from people who've actually had to triage this stuff in a real SOC.

The reports may throw cold water on the bets tech’s biggest firms have placed on the technology. While some cling to the promise of an AI “renaissance” or “revolution,” the cost of adoption is proving a stubborn bottleneck. These developments also suggest that the economics of replacing or augmenting human labor with AI may be more complicated than some early forecasts originally implied. That echoes what Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning at Nvidia, recently said in an interview with Axios.
“For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees,” he said.
