Microsoft has announced it is making its controversial Recall feature, announced alongside its new Copilot+ PCs last month, something you will have to opt-in to use.
The feature, which will screenshot everything you do on your computer, is something privacy advocates and security experts have warned could be a “disaster” for cybersecurity. Microsoft had originally planned to turn Recall on by default, but now the company says users will need to “proactively choose to turn it on.” @theverge has more.
Please help: I am looking for a spokesperson or even better a CISO of the government of the Netherlands - ideally both. I need a quick and easy contact for an IT security related issue. The website is not helpful. #cybersecurity#netherlands
Oh and in case there a journalists from the Netherlands in my bubble (or in yours, please share!): It might be interesting to do a follow-up to our article (which will be published tomorrow) because WebEx leaked tons of data from the Dutch government.
Feel free to contact me for further information. #webex#cybersecurity#netherlands
Oops, wieder in ein fremdes Webex-Meeting verirrt. 😜
Aber die Menschen nehmen es mit Humor. "Hallo, mein Name ist Eva Wolfangel, Ich recherchiere über Sicherheitslücken bei Webex Nur ganz kurzes Schweigen. Dann: "Herzlichen Glückwunsch, die Recherche scheint erfolgreich zu sein."
Artikel kommt bald - und ja: das Problem ist seit meinen beiden anderen Artikeln ... größer geworden. #cybersecurity#webex
Ok, ich habe gestern mittag ein paar Anfragen rausgeschickt - und eine Deadline genannt, weil meine Erfahrung zeigt, dass sonst erstmal gar nichts passiert. Ich habe aber nicht gesagt, dass man mir erst dann antworten DARF. Trotzdem sind alle Antworten quasi gleichzeitig heute Abend eingetrudelt. Wie Deadline-Abhängig sind deutsche Behörden und US-Konzerne? 😂
Text kommt morgen früh :) #webex#cybersecurity
"On or around May 12, 2024, ARRL was the victim of a sophisticated network attack by a malicious international cyber group. ARRL immediately involved the FBI and engaged with third party experts to investigate.
This serious incident was extensive and categorized by the FBI as “unique,” compromising network devices, servers, cloud-based systems, and PCs...."
huh, so there's a #Telegram data breach of some sort and my details appear to be in it, although I have zero memory of ever using Telegram. I suppose it's possible that I briefly installed it as I /am/ likely to check secure & private messengers, but Telegram is actually neither of those things despite their claims.
So yeah, a bit confused that I'm in the list of compromised accounts on it but whatevs.

A large western Washington municipality that rhymes with "free cattle" is going to post an opportunity for a new OT #cybersecurity manager in a few weeks.
For a variety of reasons, I am very invested in this position even though I'm just lowly water engineer.
Please stay tuned. I will post a link here when I have it myself.
Please spread the word wherever infosec folks gather.
My hope is that this will be an opportunity for some culture change.
#Infosec#Twitter is dead, why do people still insist on being on that platform? It's lost its relevance, and all the best people in Infosec have moved here to #Mastodon or another #Fediverse app.
I feel like most of those still on Twitter are more worried about appearances and keeping their follower numbers than keeping and growing a great community.
I'll try and setup my @mullvadnet on @QubesOS tonight on #Twitch. I will be on #Tiktok as well, but I don't have a stream key yet so I can't properly simulcast. But I will be on Tiktok as well. I will also see about setting dark mode on all of my things. Probably do the #Monero wallet later this week
I am loving the new GUI in the latest QubesOS, I just wish they made it easier to set dark mode everywhere, or at least out of the box have an option to set as default. #Cybersecurity#Infosec
This summer I am hoping to sit down after #DEFCON and spin up my RTMP restreamer probably using AWS so I can get around to finding someplace to setup an Owncast account, not sure if I want to run my own server as that's a lot of work.
I plan to simulcast to Owncast, Twitch, Youtube, and Tiktok at the same time. And then merge all the chats on the same screen on my Linux box so I can see all of the chat on one screen. #Infosec#Cybersecurity#Gaming#GamingonLinux
