New—hackers have access to a powerful chain of data that lets them dox nearly anyone in US for $15. With credit cards your address goes to the credit bureaus. That is then sold to companies, and the hackers tap into that. Targets include Musk, Rogan, Biden https://t.co/ljCCCj3fWb

VirusBulletin has been an amazing platform, publishing my first long form contribution to the industry in 2015, followed by four consecutive papers on TI.

After a short hiatus, I’m honored to return to @virusbtn to give this year’s Closing Keynote.https://t.co/ZY383G7usr

Awesome blogpost by @DanielMiessler here. He lays it out clear and plain how he generates some serious income through UL and does it while keeping life quality high and working on interesting topics.

ICYMI: "[The CSA Regulation] could become the basis for de facto generalised and indiscriminate scanning of the content of virtually all types of electronic communications of all users in the EU/EEA", said @EU_EDPB & @EU_EDPS in July 2022 (Aug 22) https://t.co/E7rEtQ4POz HT @EDRi

TL;DR: client-side scanning = VERY BAD idea.

That's very good Navalist Twitter. I'm sure the Navy needs 500 ships and the entire DoD budget. Just one last thing. Where does the entirety of the human race live? pic.twitter.com/UxaXPKmmse

LTE/5G IMO are LESS secure than 2G when it comes to true RCE (no fake basestation).

The IMS/VoLTE stacks can be hit from anywhere in the world with just a phone number.

Media parsing, XML, etc... Android in baseband, iOS in userland.

Plenty of 0days to be found. Have fun!…

Contrary to popular belief, you can use eSIM phone plans without needing a phone that supports eSIM.

Tourists Give Themselves Away by Looking Up. So Do Most Network Intruders. – Krebs on Security

In large metropolitan areas, tourists are often easy to spot because they're far more inclined than locals to gaze upward at the surrounding skyscrapers. Security experts say this same tourist dynamic is a dead giveaway in virtually all computer intrusions…

You may think you have a great job, but some guy at Coca Cola has gone from:

- Metaverse Lead to

- Head of NFT Campaigns to

- Global Head of Generative AI

all in under 3 years and is probably pulling $5m TC.

Hats off to you my guy. pic.twitter.com/5v8EZ9zEzr

The UK wants the ability to stop companies from patching vulnerabilities.

Catastrophically shortsighted.

Any tech product that stays will be suspect in the global marketplace.

The sector will flee.

Goodbye tech investment & jobs.

I've been teaching Hypervisor Vulnerability Research for years now, at each session I get to say: "VMM subsystem bugs are the rarest kind, especially MMU bugs". In fact, there was a handful of them in all history (all in Xen). Definitely interesting!https://t.co/c4v5UWUlYI
