Sure. Google location tracking "bad" and Apple data harvesting "good", but it's pretty hack to see articles popping up about how poor Android trackers are compared to AirTags. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/46Q
Ignoring the security nightmare AirTags were at launch, the assumed permissions Apple just takes for the Find My network, and the annoying (and scary looking) process Apple forces users through to OPT OUT of location tracking, it's shocking how well Google is doing only a couple weeks into this new finder network going live.
Bei einem #heise-Artikel zu #Apple und #Security einen Kommentar schreiben, ist immer wieder eine sehr "interessante" Erfahrung.
Meistens wird man da attackiert, die unabhängigen Quellen, die man brav einbindet ignoriert oder heruntergespielt und auf persönlicher Ebene angegriffen. 🤷
Republican Sen. Lankford: A top Republican told me that if I try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this election year, he will do whatever he can to DESTROY me. He said, ‘I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election’ 🚨
Republican fascists threaten deadly force if any measure to improve our border security.
Autonomi have launched their beta network and rewards program.
Anyone can run nodes and if you want to join the fun, sign up for the second wave of noderunner rewards. Even non-technical folks can do this with any old computer.
It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.
It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.
It's inescapable.
It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.
It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.
If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.
I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."
Question for crypto (as in cryptographic) nerds, I am looking for an automated solution for on-prem backups that encrypts said backup. The plan is to take said encrypted backup and store it off sight. Prefer open source, and for further context consider this "home lab" although it does involve multiple servers with public IPs etc. I do not want to have the encryption key easily reachable like in plaintext in a config file.
Right now this is all happening manually, but automated would make this so much easier. It does not have to be a full end-to-end solution, even just the encrypting part being able to be automated would be fine as I could simply script around it. Thoughts and recommendations?
NIST turns to IT consultants to clear National Vulnerability Database backlog
🤔
"According to the agency's statement last week, it hopes to reach its pre-February processing rate of CVEs within the next few months. NIST predicted it should be caught up and back to processing current CVEs by the end of the fiscal year."
Autonomi are launching their beta rewards program tonight (8am GMT) and have opened signups for the second wave of noderunners. Anyone will be able to run nodes, even non-technical folks.
Israel’s Seizure of #Gaza Border Zone Strains Ties With Egypt
Israel defied ominous Egyptian warnings & took control of the #PhiladelphiCorridor, but the reaction from #Egypt, which wants to maintain its #security cooperation with #Israel, has been muted.
I noticed that #Zed automatically downloads a NodeJS binary from nodejs.org without asking or even informing the user about it. Right after starting it and opening a file, without doing anything else. Then it installs some packages from npmjs via npm. And there’s no option to disable it.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! I can’t stress enough how bad this is from #security point of view. And not just that, consider users on metered connections
I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!
