Beware of #SONOFF Products in #HomeAutomation. If you have a choice, don't buy them! The #eWeLink App refuses to populate the WiFi Network to pair new devices if you do not deactivate 'Private WiFi Address' (MAC randomisation), 'Limit IP Address Tracking' & activate 'Location Services' and give access to 'Precise Location' on iPhone. #HomeAssistant . They even published a blog article about it, recommending to deactivate these vital protections, instead of fixing the App. #ChinaCloud#SpyWare 🤦
@danie10 I went through the websites & docs and it appears a monumental mission - either there are remarks of 'no longer supported' or you need to solder wires or this or that. Gees, if it is no longer supported, remove it from the list #Blackadder . And why such a mission to flash a Camera, while it could be easily done via SD Card. Or I am to new to all of this, to grasp it all at once.
@pee well if setup once then it works OK. I did buy a small USB-serial adaptor ages ago, and the wires coming out have those socket connectors on. I may have had to solder those pin things onto the Sonoff switch (can't remember as it was years ago) and then just connect the adaptor and flash. But I do also recall that things got easier as updates just required a file to be copied and reboot the device.
@kubikpixel Dein Zitat ist aber auch nicht wirklich offen….
Suggeriert für mich eher, dass dies eine Aussage aus einem Bundesamt ist. Ist es nicht, weil in dieser Textstelle um Hintertüren geht.
Low severity [#malware incident] A #minecraft mod called "Windows Borderless" on #Modrinth was taken down yesterday. It contained #spyware wich stole credentials from Chrome and Chromium-Based browsers. Only Windows users were affected. The mod was not found in any modpacks and was not uploaded to other platforms. A detection tool can be found in the official blog post. According to @modrinth, ~372 IPs downloaded the mod. https://blog.modrinth.com/p/windows-borderless-malware-disclosure
"NSO Group, which makes Pegasus spyware, keeps trying to extract information from Citizen Lab researchers."
"With the lawsuit now moving forward, NSO is trying a different tactic: demanding repeatedly that Citizen Lab hand over every single document about its Pegasus investigation."
Worth noting that former NSO Group CEO behind this spyware is already back with a heavily VC funded surveillance company called "Dream Security" -
But one area where it's easy to see issues is in the advice they give.
The consensus correct advice to someone targeted with Pegasus et. al. would be : seek out expert support, and here are the resources XYZ that can provide it to you.
If you don't make that your main piece of top advice, you are doing it wrong.
"Spain’s High Court, on Tuesday, reopened an investigation into the use of Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group’s Pegasus software, to spy on Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, and other Spanish politicians.
The investigators will share information with France, where politicians and other figures were also targeted."
Hardly anyone talks about #spyware anymore now that the word can be used to describe almost every major website and a significant amount of commonly used software and apps.
These days, it's only spyware if it's made in Russia or China. Otherwise, it's just sparkling espionage. 🍾 🥂
It seems unfair that as #publishing profits remain steady or grow, publishers are paying authors less than ever.
While suing to shut down the digital libraries we need the most in this era of book bans and censorship.
Who’s the real "Napster"?
If you love the Internet Archive like we do, show your support by heading to https://BattleForLibraries.com and by telling big publishers to leave #libraries’ rights alone and start paying authors + publishing staffs appropriately!
