Isn't RSA the current secure solution for the corresponding encryption/security on the browser with JavaScript?
»Galois/Counter Mode and random nonces:
It turns out you can encrypt more than 2^32 messages with AES-GCM with a random nonce under certain conditions. It’s still not a good idea, but you can just about do it.«
“New”. The crypto bros already thought of this for GPUs years ago (they probably weren’t the first), and the basic idea goes at least as far back as SETI@Home.
Also I guarantee these people haven’t thought about, or don’t really care about, the security implications of GPU rental. It ain’t trivial that’s for sure, I’d never connect my GPU to the internet with any program that has thought about this less than web browsers have (WebGL / WebGPU) for that reason alone.
#Wise customers are now expected to consent to retention and disclosure to partners of #biometric facial information for up to a year simply to continue using their accounts, and even when not required by local financial regulations.
Today my wife could not send messages because Signal has implemented captchas, and the captcha failed. Nothing would send without passing the captcha. The message was being sent to another Signal user who she's messaged before and is in her contacts. It was urgent, and she had to send via SMS to get the message through.
The "feature" and "safety" creep has turned Signal into something that doesn't do its only job. They would sacrifice function for the sake of treating us like spammers. You'd also think the years of metadata they have would be enough to get us on the "not spam" list.
We were already using other apps as our primary messengers, but this is really the final nail in the coffin.
I find it somewhat annoying and concerning that an essential #security tool like #fail2ban is broken on #ubuntu#linux 24.04 #noble since the end of February and there still is no update in sight.
Also, if some #security expert could help me understand...
If I am getting 100 or even 1000 spam emails a day... why not 1 million? Seriously.
The number staying at a roughly steady daily rate seems to imply only a few spammers are behind it and throttling their attack. So why then can't they be found and dealt with?
If it were unfettered I feel like I'd be seeing an unlimited amount of spam.

Leider glauben immer noch zu viele Schweizer, nichts zu verbergen zu haben. Doch schon das ist ein falscher naiver Glaube obwohl in der #Schweiz Spionage schon immer sehr hoch war.
»Bundesrat definiert zahlreiche Ausnahmen für Meldepflicht bei Cybervorfällen:
Die Verordnung über die #Cybersicherheit regelt unter anderem, wie die #Meldepflicht für Cyberangriffe bei kritischen Infrastrukturen umgesetzt wird. Ausserdem wird ein neues #Security-Gremium ins Leben gerufen.«
Welchen Browser ihr am besten für mehr Sicherheit und Privatsphäre nutzen solltet, könnt ihr auf @privacytests herausfinden. Geschmackssache und Argumente sind nicht das selbe und helfen selten für eine korrekte technische Entscheidung. Nicht nur Privat sondern hoffentlich auch innerhalb von Firmen.
