🔴 This year's #Munich #Security Conference was supposed to be primarily about two things: how to end the war in #Ukraine without giving in to #russia, and how #Europe needed to boost its spending on #defence
But the most senior American present, #US VP JD #Vance, used his time at the podium to talk about neither
Instead, he shocked delegates on Friday by roundly attacking #Washington's #NATO allies, including #Britain, in a blistering attack decrying ⏩

VP #JDVance told #Europe leaders on Fri that their biggest #security threat was not military aggression from #Russia or #China, but their own suppression of free speech—including efforts to block #FarRight parties from joining govts.

Cybersicherheit in Kriegszeiten: Täglich ist Tag Null
Russische Cyber-Angriffe zwingen der Ukraine eine extreme Reaktionsdynamik auf: "Was hier nicht funktioniert, ist vielleicht nicht wettbewerbsfähig."

About a month ago, while talking with a colleague who had experience only with Linux, he mentioned that he knew of the BSDs but had never "had the courage" to try them. I suggested he give them a shot, reminding him not to think of BSDs as "just another Linux" but as entirely different operating systems. Focusing on security, I recommended OpenBSD - also mentioning HardenedBSD, sure it would pique his interest.
A few hours ago, he called me about something else and confirmed that for weeks now, he's been using OpenBSD on his laptop (disk encrypted), FreeBSD on two servers, and NetBSD on an embedded device at home. He plans to experiment with HardenedBSD and DragonflyBSD in the coming weeks.
However, he did have one complaint: we've known each other for five years, and I never encouraged him to try this earlier! 😀

Wrestler Triple H sitting behind Linda McMahon at hearing delights social media: 'I guess she brought her own security'

In information security, we talk a lot about threat from cybercriminals, and indeed this is an important one.
But another big if not bigger threat we should be talking about more is negligence.
Doubly so for data privacy.

#PeteHegseth, who is on his first trip abroad as #defense secretary, made the comments at #NATO HQ in a meeting of allies backing #Ukraine’s govt w/ weapons, medical equipment & array of other support. The #UnitedStates, Hegseth said, must focus first on its rising competition w/ China, meaning that European nations must take the leading role in guaranteeing #security in Europe.

“The government want to be able to access anything and everything, anywhere, any time.
Their ambition to undermine basic security is frightening, unaccountable and would make everyone less safe.
It is straightforward bullying.”

/Everyone/ is trying their best, there's always more work to do than there is time for.
I received this email reminder after publishing the latest release of "Truststore" about hardening our publish workflow. This is one of the improvements that PyPI implemented after the Ultralytics supply-chain attack last year to guide folks towards more secure publishing workflows (https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2024-12-11-ultralytics-attack-analysis/).

I certainly fear with this news coming out of the UK that #encryption as a whole is going to be on the chopping block worldwide in the very near future, especially with the current political climate.
Enjoy it while you still can...

If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

So yet another killing the #internet bill has emerged and it is the #KOSMA. Much like #KOSA (which it'll be re-introduced shortly) it has the potential to basically have a wrecking ball to #privacy, #security, and online freedom of expression all in one.
And Dems are on board and caving like they always do.

Signal does support self-defined usernames, so you can share them without anyone knowing your telephone number. I have added my Signal username to my Mastodon profile so anybody can contact me in a secure and private way (mastodon is fully public and does not have encryption/security).

What a laughable performance of the "mysterious product-launch" marketing stunt was this--if it weren't about very serious implications for all of humanity.
I am quite certain that with "killing" the spokesperson was referring to Thiel'#s #ArtificialIntelligencePlatform (#AIP), aka "AI military general":
