I’m on day 6 of 7 using Twitter, as I decided to try it for a week.

Provided I’m using the non-default following feed it’s basically the same as before, the only real change for me is porn bots are everywhere in reply spam.

I think the Ivory app on iOS is better than the Twitter app. Also the official Twitter app is using 45% more battery for me, with same usage time.

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.

Your regular reminder that DuckDuckGo is just Bing. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-outage-affects-bing-copilot-duckduckgo-and-chatgpt-internet-search/

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

Copilot is down too.

GossiTheDog,
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@viennawriter @gabboman just a front end that sends data to MS for tracking, apologies

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.

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

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

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.

Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.

It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.

The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.

The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.

@k1tteh yes

@xyleth it’s enabled by default including in Pro and Enterprise SKUs and in AD domains and intune joined 😅

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@tob @vees the software is actually labelled “preview” 😅

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@mjf_pro you can just turn off the feature in Settings

GossiTheDog,
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@ATLeagle you don’t need to, you can just disable it in Settings

And if you didn’t believe me.. found this on TikTok.

There’s an MSFT employee in the background saying “I don’t know if the team is going to be very happy…”

They should probably be transparent about it, rather than telling BBC News you’d need to be physically at the PC to hack it (not true). Just a thought.

@ianbetteridge @gwire nope
