  1. No it's not. Let's Encrypt is even a bigger offender. Example: Let's Encrypt issued over 15,000 certificates for domains containing PayPal in their name (obvious phishing sites): https://crt.sh/?identity=paypa...

  2. Ormandy recommends on LastPass Bugs Allow Malicious Websites To Steal Passwords (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    FYI, on Twitter, someone asked Ormandy what was the best password manager. His reply was "KeePass or KeePassX are both perfectly reasonable choices." Source: https://twitter.com/taviso/sta...

  3. Re:This Worked So Well For Yahoo! on IBM, Remote-Work Pioneer, is Calling Thousands Of Employees Back To the Office (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    That's why she'll make $23 million after she resigns her CEO position at a company she just sold for a meager $4 billion, after being worth $90 billion. Great decision (among many). Bravo!

    And of course the site uses an image of two supermodels to portray women in infosec :)))) No wonder they're underrepresented

  5. yes they were, but the new Turkish administration is full of retards pushing a pro-Russian agenda against anything EU

  6. Chrome too on Will WebAssembly Replace JavaScript? (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google also officially added support for WebAssembly in Chrome 57, released 3 days ago, btw

  7. Not IOT on Hidden Backdoor Discovered In Chinese IoT Devices (techradar.com) · · Score: 2

    It's not an IoT device. It's basic networking equipment. Stop calling everything IoT.

  8. Re:Who the fuck uses anything PHP in production? on Severe SQL Injection Flaw Discovered In WordPress Plugin With Over 1 Million Installs (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    People on cheap shared hosting providers. Mom an' pop shops.

  9. What the heck did I just read? Why doesn't the URL include "onion" anywhere in there?

  10. Corporations on EU Moves To Bring In AI Laws, But Rejects Robot Tax Proposal (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    EU and governments all over the world would do anything to protect corporations. The only tax they'll push is slacker tax in case you didn't find a job fast enough after a robot took yours

  11. 2FA is used for logging in. Delagated Recovery is used for account recovery. How can one replace the other?

  12. Oh yeah, the quality on Node.js's npm Is Now The Largest Package Registry in the World (linux.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you really call 10-line code snippets... packages?

  13. bu-huu, we can't find advertisers that don't want to censor our content... bu-huu

  14. Not white hat on White Hat Security Group Hacks Marvel Twitter Accounts (polygon.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Definitely not white hat. These guys were breaching forums and launching DDoS attacks last year. Get a clue!

  15. No, it's not. I use it every day as my default browser.

  16. Replacing CMD on PowerShell Security Threats Greater Than Ever, Researchers Warn (computerweekly.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

  17. Re:I wonder what the access level would be? on You Can Now Rent A Mirai Botnet Of 400,000 Bots (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    You obviously can only launch attacks. Don't think they'd give you access to bot updates.

  18. It's already half-automated in many parts of the world. I'll give it until 2030-2040.

  19. Small tidbit on Security Researchers Can Turn Headphones Into Microphones (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    You don't have to be a security researcher to do that. Electrical engineers can do it as well. The point of the article is the privacy and security implications that come from malware that can switch I/O audio jacks using software toggles found in audio drivers and secretly record you while you have your headphones or simple speakers plugged in.

  20. They don't have it for the OS itself, but there are firmware components for OEM-specific software that receives OTA updates.

  21. Not the first on Researchers Set To Work On Malware-Detecting CPUs (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since 2014 I've been reading about hardware-based detection. I'm starting to think this is just panacea... like those cloud-based antivirus engines that never picked up anything. Here's a bunch of research on the topic: http://www.ieee-security.org/T... http://caslab.eng.yale.edu/wor... http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~... http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~...

    Said Turkish teens in 2012, probably earlier. This is not new.

  23. Technically speaking on Mirai and Bashlight Join Forces Against DNS Provider Dyn (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Technically speaking, Mirai and Bashlight are the most widespread. So it's like launching an attribution dart at a board large as a two-storey building

  24. I'll just leave this here: "The owner of dotslash.org is offering it for sale for an asking price of 10000 USD!"

  25. Bullshit on When Her Best Friend Died, She Rebuilt Him Using Artificial Intelligence (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can't call something AI if it pulls random text lines from a config file. Talk about an overhyped term. I presume the WordPress Hello Dolly plugin is AI too, right?
