Censys assesses that Russian company Raccoon Security is a brand of NTC Vulkan, an IT company contracted by Russian intelligence to create offensive cyber tools. NTC Vulkan documents were leaked, and they detail project requirements contracted with the Russian Ministry of Defense, including in at least one instance for GRU Unit 74455, also known as Sandworm Team, according to Mandiant. Censys assesses with high confidence that the NTC Vulkan hosts, certificates, and domains identified in this report belong to the same NTC Vulkan, and that Raccoon Security, and its related domains, host, and certificates belong to the Moscow-based cybersecurity development brand of the same name.

Mit fairmeeting wäre kein solcher #leak möglich - denn da gibt es die Option der vollen Ende-zu-Ende Verschlüsselung und Passwortschutz. Telefoneinwahl haben wir 2023 deaktiviert, genau aus dem Grund dass unerwünschte Gäste sich verstecken könnten. Im Vergleich zu Jitsi und #Webex ist fairmeeting.net DSGVO konform, da in der #EU gehosted und von einem EU Unternehmen betrieben. Wann dürfen wir an der nächsten Ausschreibung der #Bundeswehr teilnehmen @bmi ? #taurus @fbausch

Telegram divulgue votre adresse #IP à n'importe qui parmi vos contacts lors d'un appel et un chercheur a créé un outil pour exploiter facilement cette #faille. #Telegram indique qu'il s'agit d'un comportement attendu, donc il n'y a rien à corriger.
C'est pourquoi la meilleure #alternative WhatsApp que je puisse vous conseiller est #Signal
We recently inherited (or rather, bought for cheap from his widow) my FIL's 2009 #minivan. It now has a steering fluid #leak. Unfortunately from the rack+pinion. Fortunately(?) only when turning left. The parts are available, but we'll have to save up the coin, its #heckaspensive.
So for now Ill continue to just top up the fluid every few days. And only turn right. I've mapped out routes to/from work and its doable only turning right. Itll be like I'm a FedEx/UPS driver.
🇬🇧 New #leak on #ChatControl: Privacy-friendly and #E2EE encrypted messaging services are to be penalised with chat control bulk scanning orders. They want to turn the safest services into the most monitored ones!
Mullvad VPN ( @mullvadnet ) dismissed allegations of a data breach involving dozens of its users' accounts being found on the dark web. The VPN provider explained that the accounts in question were not leaked but were given away for free to various organizations, some of which may have subsequently shared them on public forums. Mullvad's CEO emphasized that these accounts do not contain personally identifiable information like passwords, and they do not compromise user privacy. The company is known for its strong commitment to user privacy and security online and has previously demonstrated its no-log policy.
