My livejournal just turned 23 apparently.

Many such cases.

19 pages of pre-processed #FOIA documents from the #FBI in response to my request for records relating to "PC Cyborg Corporation", a front company used in the first ever #ransomware attack, back in 1989. I have requested further documents are processed.

@kaia 1987 :)

Proof that people caught up in #hacking related investigations back in the day were not all young guys.

@GossiTheDog painfully accurate

When it comes to hacking everyone has ideas about how AI might enable or prevent attacks in the coming years but the details as to *how* are a lot vaguer than the numerous predictions themselves.

UK’s NCSC says AI will help hackers with access and info gathering operations, okay, how? How will AI help inexperienced hackers carry out attacks in a way that forums, commodity malware with literal tech support or prebuilt infrastructure like c2s won’t? All aboard the hype train!

Where human conversations go to die.

Twitter sure is fun lately

@thomasfuchs I agree with you, we just need to see if others will come around to this way of thinking. I also want limited and optional algorithmic timelines to add to my heresy!

@thomasfuchs everyone is so opposed to it but I think, personally it is really needed. I know people think it will only be used for negative reasons but I would honestly rather screenshot a post I disagree with than amplify it indirectly if I wanted to be critical.

2010s corporations had police chase founders of ThePirateBay around the globe for what they claimed was aiding copyright infringement, while corporations now are putting all human culture up until this point into a blender to sell the resulting mush as AI.

@evan better for them, or better for us?

There is a certain indescribable joy repurchasing a domain you owned so long ago that it predates the automated purchasing and attempted resale of expired domains.

I am looking through newspaper clippings about hacking from 1985 and came across the story of Everett Basham, who got a job working with Hewlett Packard as a sort of hacker whisperer to advise on computer security at 17.

I found myself wondering what ever happened to him and had a quick look in google and the age lines up and details like "they planned to analyze numerous computers, hard drives and cellphones seized from Basham" sure seem to fit but anyway, bad for him.
