That's actually pretty damn smart

In 2022, I discovered that this is how the Rocket.Chat Desktop apps handle invalid #TLS certificates. Pressing Enter sets the certificate as trusted, clicking "No" may present you with more and more prompts during which you cannot close the app.

Please don't press Enter in Rocket.Chat Desktop #zeroday
please boost!
Here's my responsible disclosure story (bear with me, I'm not a security researcher) 🧵

Maria thought she was doing the right thing by connecting with the sperm donor she used to conceive her baby through fertility giant Monash IVF.

"I had joined some forums when my son was born, there was a particular group who advocated for children knowing the donor as soon as possible," Maria said.

"That's why I decided to make contact."

To begin with, the donor's emails to Maria (not her real name) were friendly and harmless. But things took a sinister turn in January this year.

"The donor travelled to my town in rural Victoria from Perth unannounced and contacted me to ask if he could stay with us," she said.

Ratel RAT targets outdated #Android phones in #ransomware attacks https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ratel-rat-targets-outdated-android-phones-in-ransomware-attacks/ That now includes Android 11. "To defend against these attacks, avoid APK downloads from dubious sources, do not click on URLs embedded in emails or SMS, and scan apps with Play Protect before launching them." Also, don't grant device admin permissions to apps that request them. #security

Anyone know why this is showing up as a top google search result for my #fediverse handle when my profile is set not to be shown in search engines? Does #gnuSocial just ignore that?

So it seems the obnoxious person who is building this #Awakari service to exploit and abuse #fediverse instances by scraping their data is @akurilov. Please use the information in this post any way you see fit—he does.

A common misconception is that 443 (HTTPS) & #DoT #DoH can prevent ISPs from monitoring and modifying your requests. Nope. They have a tool they use to redirect _and_ fake certificates (and the user is none the wiser) so they can monitor it.

Use a #VPN.

You'll know your email provider protects you from email trackers if you receive this type of emails.

Shamir's Secret Sharing is a fascinating cryptographic technique that allows you to split a secret into multiple parts, requiring a certain number of parts to reconstruct the original secret. It's a great way to share sensitive info with others while maintaining security. Tools like Banana Split and Superbacked make it easy to implement. Anyone else exploring the possibilities of this tech?

Ephemerality, in digital world, is already fading away. Now it is going to be past soon. Thanks to Microsoft.

From this post of Kevin Beaumont, we get to learn further that privacy gets completely diluted, for all practical purpose, with recall feature of Microsoft.You deal with a sensitive matter on my Windows PC. E.g. an email you delete. Does Copilot Recall still store the deleted email?Answer: yes. There's no feature to delete screenshots of things you delete while using your PC. You would have to remember to go and purge screenshots that Recall makes every few seconds.If you or a friend use disappearing messages in WhatsApp, Signal etc, it is recorded regardless.If deleting a message, after sending, is rendered useless by Copilot+ Recall, it is better to avoid it for private communication and, instead, use email. I know that once an email is sent, I cannot edit it or delete it on receiver's computer. I am better prepared psychologically. Let the recipient worry (most users may not care) how to address deleted emails on a computer with Copilot+ Recall or equivalent.

We can no longer have both #privacy and technology in our homes.

#Tech has merged with the #internet which has merged with #socialmedia which have all become profit-driven #corporations run by #billionaires

As a result, the average person can no longer take all of the precautions & actions required to live a life of #security and privacy in the #digital age.

So which do you prefer most: your tech or your privacy?
