Bei ca.. Minute 36: zumindest das #BSI engagiert sich dafür, dass die gängigen #Messenger wie #Signal, #Threema und Co. untereinander verschlüsselt Nachrichten austauschen sollen.
Wer glaubt, dass - falls sie sich auf einen Standard einigen - diese dann der sicherste von allen sein wird?
I think at this point it's worth thinking about why we need text chats and voice/video calls integrated with each other like what #XMPP (try to), #Matrix, and #Discord do
Why not just go back to #IRC or something like #AIM for text, and something like #Skype for calls like the old days :sagume_think:
Signed in to #Skype on mobile for the first time in ages. It apparently has some kind of “today” feed full of news. Of all the features nobody asked for and nobody wanted. Anyways, what were the first two items in “my” feed? #Trump and #Musk. Then an Ad. Then sports, #FoxNews, and then Russia using a new weapon in the war. Amazing.
Latest #Skype app has #BingAI hard wired in, cannot be disentangled. If you are trying to use a small device, it even reduces the text input space to add an icon, next to the camera, microphone, attachment icons. Typical #Microsoft tinkering (although they really have made Skype worse since buying it).
“Bing is now available in Skype’s 1-1 conversations on all platforms, as we reported earlier. It brings AI-powered suggestions, fun facts, and witty interjections to your chats. You can choose to keep the chat going or ignore Bing at any point.“
You just can’t extract its tentacles 🤦♀️
Looks like Microsoft has released patches against CVE-2023-4863 and CVE-2023-5217 vulnerabilities for Microsoft Edge, Teams and Skype. The patches revolve around the vulnerable the libvpx & libwebp open source libraries used by these products. Update now!
"Opa hat was ganz Komisches erzählt. Früher war #Instagram dick und schwer und aus Papier. #Handys waren gross wie ein Koffer und in Glaskabinen auf der Strasse festgeschraubt. Zum #Skypen ohne Bild musste man #Bitcoins aus Metall einwerfen, und dann konnte man damit nicht mal googeln."
eGlass: Bildschirm- & Kamerasystem schafft Durchblick für den Hybridunterricht
Sollen Menschen vor Ort und in der Ferne gleichzeitig erreicht werden, müssen sich Vortragende oft gefühlt zerreißen. Das eGlass-System setzt genau hier an.
I mean, why it may not be a "security vulnerability" in Microsoft's eyes, it's still not generally great practice to just let IP addresses just be exposed to everybody.
“Hackers are able to grab a target’s IP address, potentially revealing their general physical location, by simply sending a link over the #Skype mobile app. The target does not need to click the link or otherwise interact with the hacker beyond opening the message, according to a security researcher who demonstrated the issue and successfully discovered my IP address by using it.”
When you use #skype or #zoom, does the video traffic go through their servers, or does it only go between the two devices that are communicating via video chat?
augusztus: csörög a telefon, ezerévenemhallottamfelőle-ügyfél beszélni akar. Skype-on.
Namost az se tudom, van-e Skype még. Meg egyáltalán mi oda a fiókazonosítóm. És eleve... Skype. #skype
Service-Toot: Die Messenger-Matrix wurde aktualisiert. Die Empfehlung für Threema wurde angepasst, nachdem nun ein formaler Sicherheitsaudit für das Krypto-Protokoll vorliegt.
lol wait, why do I have #Skype for #iPhone installed on my iPhone? It’s been too damn long since I’ve used it.. and I’m repeatedly traumatized by the ringing call every work day with Teams.. this app has got to go!
Allowing self hosted servers and audio/video sharing have been its highlights. #Matrix/#Element does the former, though in unsure of the latter. I personally prefer signing up with an email than phone number or crypto hash. Though never seem to be the one to pick the new service.
