@cliffwade I wouldn't hedge my bet on "quite some time".

@binarydigit Ah the SG105…

Today is the day that Tapestry from @Iconfactory is available!

I’ll be giving it a try the new few days then will be writing up a review on my blog.

You can download the app on the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/tapestry-by-iconfactory/id6448078074

DeepSeek left their analytics open to the web. This left users chat prompts and sensitive data wide open for anyone to see.

What a huge privacy issue.

@binarydigit Yeah. Reminds me of that old meme of the old guy with the fishing pole that says “Almost got it”. LOL

Hacker infects 18,000 "script kiddies" with fake malware builder https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hacker-infects-18-000-script-kiddies-with-fake-malware-builder/

"It is targeted specially towards script kiddies who are new to cybersecurity and directly download and use tools mentioned in various tutorials thus showing that there is no honour among thieves."

If you have any recommendations for a source that I can add to the feed, just let me know.

If you are not in the Surf beta, I have an invite code that can get you in. Just DM me, and I will share it with you. This is all due to the huge thanks of @marci, @mike, and all of the @surf team. They are such great people.

Well the landlord found the broken pipe and has fixed it. https://infosec.exchange/@beardedtechguy/113868503954444805

@binarydigit Along with CapCut and Marvel Snap it appears.

Where have I seen this before…. 🤔

Allstate…You’re NOT in good hands.

Seriously though, this is horrible! https://infosec.exchange/@Xavier/113835468187353145

@zleap Yeah. I see the benefit and having a backup within Windows 11 but stop asking and definitely don’t automatically turn it on, especially for freaking businesses!!!

@zleap Microsoft turned backup on automatically on this clients computer and backed up all the clients files, which included QB. Now as they were working on it (multiple people accessing the same file), it was messing up.

We don’t have it setup. Now I’m having to decouple the backup and folders and uninstall Onedrive. 😒 Huge mess.
