Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

@gabboman no, DuckDuckGo is just a front end for Bing

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Two quick updates -

A) if you disallow recording of a website in Control Panel or GPO, in Chrome it is still recorded - disallow recording only works in Edge browser

B) Firefox and Tor Browser is recorded always, including in private mode - the exception is Hollywood DRM’d videos

Copilot+ Recall has been enabled by default globally in Microsoft Intune managed users, for businesses.

You need to enable DisableAIDataAnalysis to switch it off. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/manage-recall

A couple of days ago, LockBit had published an entry on their leaksite titled "telekom.com". I asked the Telekom press corps and they denied any incident.

Yesterday, LB also published the data allegedy from Telekom. I had a look at the files. So far, it seems that nothing in the 1.2GByte directory on their file share has anything to do with Deutsche Telekom. It seems that in fact, they breached a client PC owned by a non-profit in Hamburg.

@christopherkunz lol, classic. I used to work for a telco, we would get threat actors who thought any customer IP in our address space was us.

Microsoft quietly snuck out a blog yesterday to say that Office 365 got compromised by China and used to steal emails. Thread follows. https://msrc.microsoft.com/blog/2023/07/microsoft-mitigates-china-based-threat-actor-storm-0558-targeting-of-customer-email/

The German security services are suing Microsoft over failure to disclose information about one of the Microsoft 365 security breaches: https://www.heise.de/en/news/BSI-verklagt-Microsoft-auf-Herausgabe-von-Informationen-zu-Security-Desaster-9722507.html

I doubt they will get very far as Microsoft takes steps to avoid legal disclosure in security incidents.

You haven't lived 'til your infosec vendor takes one of your documents which they detect as suspicious, and then uploads it to VirusTotal publicly.

It is worth noting that the Recall feature is only going to work on newfangled PCs with that special NPU chip. So for now, a reasonable defense is to... not buy one of those laptops

My favourite trope is people saying “you can’t do that, it’s against the law! GDPR!” to big tech companies… as they steal the world’s copyrighted material to train AI, run Washington DC, count almost every EU data regulator as email customers and fund anti-trans political candidates for commercial gain.

People think they’re holding spears but instead they’re armed with plastic forks from a chip shop.

Burn the planet for shareholder value! Woo!!

Microsoft released its 2024 Sustainability Report. Last year, Microsoft's emissions went up 29%, and it used 23% more water, primarily due to "new technologies, including generative AI."
