Thus begins a first for me on two levels, one I will be simultaneously live tweeting, tooting and skeeting along with a movie and two that movie will be Swordfish from 2001, which I have never seen before.

On I will be adding the hashtag in case people want to mute me.

Any electronics hackers?

I got this cheap portable video light, and it comes with some preset light animations.

This has a USB-C port, maybe it exposes something more than power?

Maybe it'd be possible to get access to this thing's underlying software and reprogram it? ;)

Please RT for reach: I’m trying to #FOIA records on computer intrusions into DOD systems during first Gulf War (1990), I have a GAO report which gives a high level summary but am looking for more.

Does anyone know what DOD department might have investigated #hacking back then?

When I talk about the danger of online vanishing, and the importance of the Wayback Machine, this is the kind of jackass decision making I am talking about, among many other things.

I suck at CTFs....

Hacking into corporations has made me into a lazy and unskilled hacker.

🆕 blog! “Book Review: The Cuckoo's Egg - Clifford Stoll”
★★★★★

This book is outstanding. It's the mid 1980s, you're administrating a nascent fleet of UNIX boxen, and you are tasked with accounting for a 75¢ billing discrepancy. Naturally that eventually leads into an international conspiracy involving the FBI, NSA, and an excellent recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It is…

This is a fascinating case that I haven't seen really covered anywhere other than in the news at the time and academic papers. A reporter from Iowa's KWWL-TV station was involved in filming the hacking of Drake University computer systems on January 31st, 1984.

New video over on #YouTube, I discuss 1995 #hacker #movie The Net starring Sandra Bullock, how the plot was researched & written & real life parallels with #hacking featured in the film. Spoiler, I have a real soft spot for this mid 90's techno-thriller.

My interpretation of this article is that hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, etc. need to get links and repost icons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. OFF their websites. If you work for a big institution -- talk to your marketing team as they are used to doing this routinely. If you are a small provider, look at your website -- especially if you created it years ago back when no one thought of the problems and you just wanted some traffic.

TITLE: FTC, HHS warn health providers not to use tracking tech in websites, apps

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent a joint letter to about 130 hospital systems and telehealth providers Thursday, warning of security risks posed by tracking technologies such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics.

There is a big way that I relate to

We have all had that feeling where we find out something extremely broken in our
Or or or

And you tell the right people, because you want to fix it.

And nobody does anything.

Nobody cares.

For me, this reverts to being a child inside.

Have you guys felt like this before? Please say yes because I feel crazy

I've been digging up some festive #hacker related stuff from various archives to share here, starting with this very specific ad for UNIX workstations, relating to Kevin Mitnick's Christmas Day hack in 1994 of Tsutomu Shimomura.

So curious as to whether anyone on here attended this Con in Houston in 1991 that resulted in everyone getting kicked out of the hotel it was hosted in. From Computerworld, 7th of January, 1991.

hi, been wondering for a while... how does the US hacker culture differ from the EU/German hacker culture?

like i've heard mainly about defcon while at cccamp, that apparently it's far more commercial/brand friendly and at the same time less activism focused/leftist, but that's all i know tbh

Das ist so absurd. Man weiß wirklich nicht, ob man lachen oder weinen soll. phpMyAdmin ist offenbar ein »gefährliches Hackertool« im Sinne des Hackerparagrafen 202a StGB. Wenn der Gesetzgeber das JETZT nicht ändert, dann war es das mit der Responsible Disclosure. Wenn man jetzt noch dafür belangt wird, überlegt man sich zweimal, ob man die Daten nicht gleich gewinnbringend verkauft... 🤦‍♂️

in , 2000, the @BBCRD published the "A - Z: Hack attack", to shed some light on the "world of hacking, cracking and pinging". It provides a little snapshot of what the hot topics of hackerdom were in early 2000.

Proof that people caught up in related investigations back in the day were not all young guys.
