  RE: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/117393814293721056 Fun one - over half of the CVEs added to CISA KEV are over a year old, ie issued a year or more ago. There’s this whole narrative around how GenAI will find zero day vulns and the apocalypse is coming. Slight issue - almost all incidents are caused by orgs not patching. Basically at all. The cybersecurity industry never solved that.. and doesn’t even understand it is the case.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@zackwhittaker/117344795797870712 Once a year I publish a blog about how Citrix is very unserious when it comes to security but I think I might go apocalyptic this year. I don’t know if the story will come out about this one but governments etc have been hacked using this one, Citrix knew, and they just tried to hide it. Again.

  There are rumours swirling for the past week behind the scenes that there are two actively exploited zero days in Citrix Netscaler. The rumours have now broken containment to Reddit. FWIW I’ve been trying to get Citrix to talk about it, they won’t.

  Great news everybody, cyber folks can retire to McDonalds now because a guy who has one job as a data inputter has discovered a GitHub list of AI slop tools. Cyber is solved!

  Signal have rolled out an update to all users that stops Microsoft Recall from capturing Signal conversations. I’ve tested this and it works. Brilliant work by the @signalapp@mastodon.world team. 💪 They call on Microsoft to build better, as there was no standardised way as an app developer to do this. Because Signal is open source, now app developers have a template to protect their users from Windows. https://signal.org/blog/signal-doesnt-recall/

  BBC News has 4 YouTube videos up in the past day about OpenAI hacking “governments”, with approaching a million views. If you want to know the technical details of this elite frontier AI hacking - these are examples of the actual OpenAI agent requests. It’s really dumb shit. The story here is OpenAI are utterly incompetent at cybersecurity, as are their victims.

  Running a Mastodon server is becoming increasingly problematic due to GenAI. There’s multiple different things happening, including but not limited to: - very aggressive scraping of user content and block evasion, with the resource costs that come with it - AI agents aggressively trying to register accounts and evade restrictions - rising cost of RAM - Mastodon is memory hungry, RAM is really expensive now It’s odd to experience first hand, it’s like being consumed by.. a void.

  If you use MoveIT Transfer I recommend upgrading to 2025.1.6 or 2026.0.4 ASAP. They don’t appear to have issued any CVEs or advisories but I can see they’ve patched some serious security issues.

  For any fellow Mastodon server admins in the UK, I'm aware of the Social Media Platforms (Ofcom Licensing) Act 2026. It would make it basically illegal to run a Mastodon server as a UK citizen. It's a private member's bill and it's not likely to pass, I'm starting the lobbying against it. It won't pass on my watch. It's a good faith effort to solve a very specific problem but it's too broad. https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/67647/documents/8738

  “Another new Apple Watch feature, “Siri Recap,” uses ambient listening to “take high-level notes” of your conversations, which can be reviewed in the Siri iOS app. These notes will automatically generate a title, summary, and key points based on what was recorded and summarized by AI.” Do I have to dig out that video clip of Apple execs on stage laughing at not interrupting their competitor making mistakes with Microsoft Recall? Apparently they’ve forgotten that lesson. https://techcrunch.com/...
