There are scam notifications about "monetization" on here going around.

👉 Don't fall for them.
👉 Don't click the link.
👉 Report and block on sight.

There is no monetization scheme on mastodon.social, nor any other fedi instance I know of.

Stay safe!

Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation
motorolanews.com/motorola-thre…

> Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility.

This could be a gamechanger. Congratulations to @GrapheneOS, fingers crossed this works out well!

Heads up for any folks using @hetzner: scammers seem to be trying to exploit the recent bump in pricing by sending "unpaid invoice notification" e-mails.

Easy to fall for it before morning coffee.

"Update Payment Method" link obviously leads to a scam site, so not particularly hard to spot either.

Be careful out there. :blobcatcoffee:

P.S. yes I am aware of the shitty ways Hetzner treated a bunch of fedi instances; this is not a recommendation.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)

You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?

Yeah, that Persona.

Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...

...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...

...or be fired.

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

You can do the following to remove the scheduled task that executes the vulnerable AMDAutoUpdate:

1. Run cmd.exe as administrator

2. schtasks /delete /TN AMDAutoUpdate /F

This prevents the AMDAutoUpdate from executing.

#infosec #cybersecurity #amd #ryzenmaster


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.

Madness.
