🇫🇷 The French government is sending a message about digital independence by ditching Microsoft Teams and Zoom for its own platform, Visio. This move is not about a lack of features but a calculated push for digital sovereignty. By 2027, every government department in France will communicate via this sovereign stack, ensuring that sensitive data remains subject to European law. The shift addresses a growing concern that relying on foreign cloud giants creates a strategic vulnerability. France is opting for an open-source architecture built on Django and React, hosted on the domestic Outscale cloud. This infrastructure removes the risk of external service disruptions while fostering a local tech ecosystem.

.ru serious? 🇷🇺 ccTLD .ru had an unbelievable +3741% ⏫ in #botnet C&C domains, placing it #1 for the most abused ccTLD in the latter half of 2025.
Apparently AMD's AutoUpdate downloads the updates over HTTP and executes them without any validation (presumably as SYSTEM user). AMD was notified of the vulnerability but according to them "attack requiring physical access to victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts" are out of scope.
Why do LLMs fall for prompt injection attacks that wouldn’t fool a fast-food worker?
In this piece, Fastly Distinguished Engineer Barath Raghavan and security expert Bruce Schneier explain how AI flattens context—and why that makes autonomous AI agents especially risky.
Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns AI agents embedded in OSes are eroding end-to-end encryption's real-world security, despite its mathematical soundness. With root-like access to messages & data, they bypass E2EE isolation—urgent rethink needed! 🔒🤖❌ cyberinsider.com/signal-presid…
GNU InetUtils telnetd Authentication Bypass Exploited in the Wild
A critical authentication bypass in GNU InetUtils telnetd (CVE-2026-24061) is actively exploited only days after the public reporting of the flaw. It's urgent that you block any telnet server you are using from the Internet.
With the extension of the CVE record format in GCVE, we added the related vulnerabilities for the "recent" telnetd. Very nifty for analyst. The edit functionality in vulnerability-lookup supports the BCP-05 extensions including relationships.
With Visio, France is introducing its open-source video conferencing for authorities. By 2027, 200,000 civil servants are to work independently of US providers.
Either lock it down completely, or give the keys to the regime you're doing business with, but don't leave a backdoor for any opportunist on the planet to walk through.
Age verification laws are being introduced everywhere - including, Florida. 🔞🇺🇸
For Joseph, not knowing his own state had introduced age verification, was the final push he needed to take action and do something. So he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club @mtec
Don't miss this interview with him to find out why he started the club, its aims & goals, & why he chose Tuta Mail. 💪🔐
2025 was the year many people realized how at risk their digital privacy had become. For Joseph, it was the year to take action against this, and so he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club.
｢ The mental model we’ve grown accustom to (with thanks to GitHub) is “copilot”, a helpful assistant with the same motivations and goals as you. The reality is closer to “untrusted contractor with root access to your entire work life.” You wouldn’t give a random freelancer root AWS keys on day one (if ever), but we hand that to AI agents without a second thought ｣
