Six months out from teen social media ban, age-checking tech mistakes kids for 37-year-olds
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-19/teen-social-media-ban-technology-concerns/105430458

Tests of automated age-guessing technology to be used for a proposed teen social media ban in Australia revealed it's wildly inaccurate and not fit for purpose.

Today, @daedalus took part in a government briefing and Q&A session, and as you can see from this thread, it was a total shitshow: https://eigenmagic.net/@daedalus/114712755649100993

🆕 blog! “Your Password Algorithm Sucks”

There are two sorts of people in the world; those who know they are stupid and those who think they are clever.

Stupid people use a password manager. They know they can't remember a hundred different passwords and so outsource the thinking to something reasonably secure. I'm a stupid person and am very happy to have BitWarden…

The Russians aren't coming, they are already here. Without most anyone realizing, they've created an entire malicious adtech industry whose story is just as complex as the Chinese organized crime we're now realizing from their ventures into pig butchering.

VexTrio is just one Russian organized crime group in the malicious adtech world, but they are a critical one. They have a very "special" relationship with website hackers that defies logic. I'd put my money on a contractual one. all your bases belong to russian adtech hackers.

Today we've released the first piece of research that may eventually prove whether I am right. This paper is hard. i've been told. I know. We've condensed thousands of hours of research into about 30 pages. @briankrebs tried to make the main points a lot more consumable -- and wrote a fabulous complimentary article : read both!

There's so much more to say... but at the same time, between ourselves and Brian, we've released a lot of lead material ... and there's more to come. I've emphasized the Russian (technically Eastern European) crime here, but as Brian's article points out there is a whole Italian side too. and more.

We've given SURBL, Spamhaus, Cloudflare, Domain Tools, several registrars, and many security companies over 100k domains. They are also posted on our open github.

Super thanks to our collaborators at Qurium, GoDaddy Sucuri Security, and elsewhere.
