Is it just me or is Mastodon cyber security related activity ... a lot more quiet?

Seems people have gone back to being active on X or Threads even? No, am I imagining things?

Transferred my financial support for from GitHub to Liberapay. $15/month for something I use almost daily.

Also supporting with $20/month and Fedilab Android client.

What apps and/or projects are you supporting?

Would like to support as well, but there are no options (?) to subscribe or donate.

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? :gnome: ❤️ :rust:

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Boosts welcome :boost_love:

@sonny
Loving the idea of securing more users, but why introduce another password manager?

How about improving one of the existing ones, integrating it more tightly with Gnome?

Take KeePass, give it a better interface but use the already developed underlying logic/infra?

Perhaps there is a proposal or some sort of analysis reaching this conclusion as the "best" one?

Visualizing dependency graphs on a Linux distribution could potentially yield, with some effort, some interesting insights about important packages, but where the importance is not reflected in the maintenance of the actual package.

For each package, resolve repository, parse commit history, attempt to ascertain number of recent contributors.

I took a stab at the very first and simple step. Generate a dependency list of all currently installed packages, plot.

Anyone aware of some kind of giant dependency graph of open source software bundled on typical distros?

Would be interesting to find some candidate packages maintained by two or less people with an inversely proportional importance to the broader distro installation base of packages.

@briankrebs It seems to be "right up your alley" that Russian Market has begun to sell "fullz" of people.

I see a number of potential developments in this area.

Ransomware operators can extract these "details" and put them up for sale, so even if a ransom goes tits-up, there's still some opportunity to profit off stolen data.

Stealers can now build "capability" to extract this and extend "value" extracted beyond credentials, if enabled by market places like RM.

Thoughts?

@nopatience@swecyb.com avatar

I genuinely find it entirely disheartening that I keep questioning more and more articles I read online. Is this an AI-text? Has someone actually put some heart and passion into this?

It's really sad, and I can't imagine that this will improve significantly over the coming years, rather it will continue to deteriorate.

Now I'm starting to imagine that a new web will eventually emerge, with a renewed focus of showcasing texts that have been hand-crafted by humans.

Would be very useful to create a feature in Mastodon which would enable admins of instances to create trusted and exchange relationships for peer blocked domains.

That way I could create a trusted relationship to for example @jerry and @seb and choose to trust their block lists of for example limited servers, or even blocked ones.

That way we would somewhat leverage the Fediverse of selective trusted relationships between instances.

Having switched my desktop environment from to I'm getting quite comfortable with the incredible speed with which my current desktop is operating.

It's not an entirely fair comparison, Laptop vs Tower-build etc, but god... everything is pretty much instantaneous.

I have not once experienced a slow-down, or a situation where I'm like... wtf, launch Activity Monitor and terminate a bunch of processes that have gone rouge.

An almost entirely smooth transition.

Vulnerability after vulnerability on Fortinet products. At what point does your risk assessment turn to, “Rip that gear out and replace it with another vendor!”

Blev lite senare än tänkt, men nu är uppdaterat till v4.2.5 av Mastodon vilket också innebär att vi är skyddade mot senaste kritiska sårbarheten som fixades i den här versionen.

Allt gott!

Detta är vi nu skyddade från:

Cyber incident at Equilend

@GossiTheDog Plenty more victims now... guess this has done nothing but embolded him/them and I guess we can expect more eager affiliates to join the ranks for LockBit. Given the absolutely phenomenally massive marketing campaign that was provided to them for free.

I thought this would end-up with lockbitsup in jail, but if this is not going to be the case.

The fallout will be bad... really bad me thinks.

In the beginnings we had electricity. Produce it yourself they said. Then there was centralization of production, buy from us they said. And then there was decentralization; let's produce some of it ourselves we said.

The same story goes for IT. Do it yourself they said. Outsource it they said, buy from us they said. And now, let's do it ourselves.

Cloud came along. Let's run our own datacenters. No, buy from us, it's cheaper they said. Expensive it got. Let's do it ourselves we said.

Test Driven Development does not mean first writing all tests and only after that writing code to implement features.

TDD means you write a test first, then implement, then integrate. Rinse and repeat. Perhaps some tests will be unnecessary as you refactor.

Streetpass is a fantastic little plugin to your browser which passively captures Mastodon-handles across the web, as you browse, providing you with a nice little list of people to follow.

@shortridge Hey, I really like the theme of your blog, is that hand-crafted or available somewhere?

And is that... Hugo or what? Gave me some well-needed kick in the... blog, need to update my own.

Current experiment: Read something on Mastodon, bookmark. Background Python job will continuously pull bookmarks, review each toot, extract links and download. Each downloaded article will be summarized using Kagi Universal Summarizer and then the content will be categorized.

Next a new Markdown note is created and added to my Obsidian OSINT Vault.

It works pretty decently. Anyone else been experimenting with these OSINT workflows?

Legitimizing BitCoin, is by extension legitimizing ransomware and all other cyber crime relying on BitCoin as transport and enabler for their businesses.

While I encourage and approve of digital currencies, I'm not so sure this is a particularly wise move.

Two years ago, Coop in Sweden had a major ransomware incident where all their point of sale devices got wiped.

Now, they’ve been hit by a ransomware group again - this time Cactus. Unclear if point of sale devices wiped this time, probably not would be my guess.

@nopatience@swecyb.com avatar

@GossiTheDog
One important addition. Coop is a cooperative, and thia incident affects one such part of the larger Coop.

Roughly 140,000 members are affected which quite obviously is not a small amount, yet not the full amount of all Coop customers and members.
