8000 #security #vulnerabilities in 1200 #routers - most of which are #difficult to #patch or even #impossible https://modemly.com/m1/pulse This is why we desperately need more #opensource #routers ! I will never #buy a #closedsource #binaryblob #firmware router again. Madness.
Well, this is potentially the thing that gets me to stop using my #google #account entirely: https://trustcoyote.com/blog/2-step-veri.. #twofactor #authentication only serves to #track you and de- #anonymise you. The " #security " it offers has been *repeatedly* #abused - because #simcards and #phonenumbers are *not* within your control and can be arbitrarily re- #assigned ... They make incorrect assumptions about #security because in their little #bubble they all have #contracts
Looks like the #us is ripping out all #networking hear made by #huawei and #zte as directed by the #fcc based in #security issues: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newslette.. It's well known for example that #huawai work *very* closely with #china 's #ccp - meaning they can essentially be considered an arm of the #government ...
#china experiences even heavier #crop #losses after further #flooding and more #dam #failures https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/floodi.. #chinese people now have a mega food #security problem this #christmas ...
Never knew that people were now making #opensource #sex #toys https://www.billieruben.info/post/3d-pri.. Glad to see people *cough* owning the #devices they use... Seriously though, with so many toys out there relying on #iot and having #scary #sideeffects - especially with #security - it's great that people have #opensource #alternatives ...
Well this is truly #terrifying - it appears that #syniverse #routes tonnes of the #us 's #text #messages and they were #hacked https://lowendbox.com/blog/the-syniverse.. This puts #security measures like 2FA at serious risk. The company responded to the #hack - essentially saying 'it'll likely happen again, get over it'.
Apparently the reason #facebook was struggling to come back #online was because they could not #physically #access the #servers due to their #security https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/144.. Kind of a good sign that even Facebook can't get in.
More slipping of #privacy and #security - with #secret #gagorders by the #us #government to inflict #google https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrews.. Scary stuff.
Looks like #amd - jealous of #intel 's #ime #backdoor #security #flaws - went out and created their own: https://hackaday.com/2021/10/01/flaw-in-.. The #amd #ryzen #platformsecurityprocessor #psp apparently gives #low #privilege #processes the ability to #access #uninitialised #memory - which could #leak #secrets ...
Very good that #intel is now actively getting their #chip #factory #manufacturing #project underway: https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel.. It's very clear that having these things done in #china or #taiwan is going to be a *massive* #security #threat in the near future. It also adds to #shipping and ultimately #globalwarming issues to having it made so far away!
Okay, the situation in #china is much worse that anyone thought: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ch.. The #ccp are running out of #energy #production capability, apparently asking #soybean production to be closed to save power. Here's the thing, #china has a *massive* issue currently with #food #security - specifically #protein - which mostly comes from soy beans! This could be big.
The #uk *desperately* needs #nuclear #power https://www.economist.com/the-economist-.. We cannot rely on #wind alone to carry the #energy #requirements and build energy #security ... It's insanely #shortsighted we are currently in this situation.
Great to see #young #security #researchers in the making: https://ncrypter.neocities.org/blg/2021-.. I encourage everybody to #document their work and #progress ...
There's something to be said when the #us #capitol gets more #security than #citizens trapped in #afghanistan https://www.lotuseaters.com/us-capitol-s.. Apparently the reason for increased security is because there will be a pro- #trump #rally ... #biden could not possibly act any more #insecure ...
Ouch, a very simple #security #bug found in a #openssl parameter #comparison #function https://karpov2007.medium.com/everybody-..
