back in my day, money had pictures of apes on them and ape holders could use multiple slurp juices on a single ape! 'give me three apes for 1 astro ape and 3 slurps' you'd say, provided of course, you didn't get a common slurp at the mint eve-[my family turns off my life support]

Here’s some nightmare fuel. Exploiting ad tech to find women who’ve had abortions and collect the $10k Texas bounty at scale. As just one example…

Aram Zucker-Scharff

@Chronotope

I do think that people are really underestimating the risk in a post-Roe world that ad tech poses to women. It isn't just Law Enforcement has an easier time accessing your phone than your home and it isn't just data brokers. States now have private-citizen bounties, remember?

Everything is cyber, so everything can be used for warfare. Cyber warfare is hectic.


Some legal analysis. One thing I’ll say is that for the last few years the people freaking out on twitter have been more accurate than the experts…

@OrinKerr

There's a lot of speculation that if the Court is going to overturn Roe/Casey in Dobbs, other precedents, such as those involving gay marriage or even contraception, are next. I doubt that, for a few reasons.

Crypto. Scam. Fraud. Plot twist, this time it’s PGP.

Filippo Valsorda

@FiloSottile

This is a fantastic case study in how complexity (the super-flexible packets design), lack of robustness (no encryption authentication), and multiple options (ECDSA can be broken because DSA is supported) lead to vulnerabilities.

US and Ukraine intelligence cooperation

Cheryl Rofer

@CherylRofer

Bottom line up front: It's another wave of President Biden's information offensive. I count at least 3: 1. Setting up the information theater before the war to expect Russian disinformation and false flags. 2. Preventing a chemical weapons attack. 3. Preparing for Victory Day.

@sar5430

Even if I love #Ghidra, I'm not a huge fan of its default function graph view, I built a plugin that is based on @rizinorg layout. This is very far from perfect, but if you want to give it a try : github.com/sar5430/RizinL…

I am deeply sceptical about this. Zach is a good journalist so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But it seems very unlikely to me.

Why even if a logless VPN were truly logless, it still is not a privacy layer.

Kevin Beaumont

@GossiTheDog

If you think a VPN provides anonymity, know that you can get access details without even needing a court order, it’s pretty routine in cybersecurity circles. Quick thread. Starting point, ISPs sell or give customer Netflow data to security firms.

How Data Brokers Sell Access to the Backbone of the Internet

ISPs are quietly distributing “netflow” data that can, among other things, trace traffic through VPNs.
