One year on infosec.exchange and it's been amazing. Thank you to @jerry for hosting (and administering) such an awesome instance of Mastodon and thank you to all of the fantastic people that make up this community.

Did I need another Epyc server?
No
Was I able to stop myself from ordering another one?
Also no

Today is the last day of cybersecurity awareness month. I look forwards to going back to being unaware of cybersecurity tomorrow.

ok, infosec.exchange friends. The storage is now living on a very fast server with nvme disks, connected to the app server via 10gbps network. I am hoping this makes media uploads and other related issues much, much better.

The server is at grave risk of catching fire from all the hot takes this evening.

This is the company's second breach in the past year. It was also hacked in October of last year after a hacker gained access to its infrastructure and stole customer API keys.

Does any company make a hot water heater that uses the waste heat from air conditioning to help heat the water? Was just staring at my utility closet where my water heater sits right next to my furnace and suddenly it seemed obvious and dumb that I use electricity in to heat my water, then use more electricity to pump heat out of my condo and into the air outside

This was outside my condo door. I hadn’t ever seen this type of bug before. My wife named it “ugaly buggaly”

Top picks for Mastodon Android apps? Mine for some time has been Megalodon.

Is anyone using the Mastodon app on Android having trouble logging into infosec.exchange or other mastodon instances, with the error that it "seems not to be a Mastodon server"?

I don't have android and it appears to be working fine on iOS

Adobe, Apple, Google and Microsoft all in the past week have released critical security updates to tackle zero-day flaws in their software that are being exploited in the wild.

Microsoft today patched two zero-day bugs (among 60+ other flaws).

Apple last week pushed out iOS 16.16.1, which addresses a "zero-click" flaw in iPhones and iPads that researchers at Citizen Lab say is being used to install spyware from the NSO Group.

Google fixed a heap overflow in Chrome which was already seeing active exploitation (Google says that bug was reported by Apple and Citizen Lab).

And if you're still using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, there's a zero-day update for that, too.

Update: Mozilla also has fixed zero-day flaw in Firefox and Thunderbird, as did the Brave browser. It appears the common theme here is any software that uses a code library called “libwebp,” and that this vulnerability is being tracked as CVE-2023-4863.

“This includes Electron-based applications, for example – Signal,” writes StackDiary.com. “Electron patched the vulnerability yesterday. Also, software like Honeyview (from Bandisoft) released an update to fix the issue. CVE-2023-4863 was falsely marked as Chrome-only by Mitre and other organizations that track CVE’s and 100% of media reported this issue as “Chrome only”, when it’s not.”
