The EU unveiled a tech sovereignty package to cut reliance on foreign cloud, chip and software providers, while keeping markets open to selected partners. 🇪🇺
The plan adds cloud sovereignty tiers, backs EU tech capacity, expands chip intervention powers, and allocates €2B for open-source software. 🔓

Manga Artist Loses Entire Google Account After AI Flags His Own Artwork on Drive

Japanese manga artist Masahiro Itosugi, creator of the adult series Aki Sora, had his Google account suspended after uploading old manga manuscripts to Google Drive. His appeal was reviewed and rejected, and the artist suspects that at every stage he was dealing with an AI moderator, not real employees.

🚨 Upgrade or be hacked. 🚨

There is a "hacker" group (script kiddies) targeting Mastodon sites that are not yet running Mastodon 4.5.10.

Version 4.5.10 fixes several security vulnerabilities that are relatively easy to exploit and were discovered in earlier versions of Mastodon.

If you're not running 4.5.10 (or newer), you are at risk. ⚠️

If you're using a nightly build of Mastodon, make sure you're running one that was released after the release date of 4.5.10. And yes, I said release date, not version number — earlier 4.6 nightly builds do not include the security patch. ⚠️

If you're delaying the update because you're running a modified version of Mastodon, consider whether maintaining those modifications is worth the security risk. ⚠️

Most web browsing has been using post-quantum secure algorithms for years now.

Why? Browsers and large CDNs have pushed for post-quantum key agreement implementations, such as X25519MLKEM768.

This has been a great success: No one needed to change or configure anything, or even know about it. This is the best kind of security: unobtrusive and transparent, without requiring user involvement for deployment.

Before you worry about #AI threats, fix your security fundamentals: Most cyber breaches aren’t driven by advanced AI - they’re caused by basic failures like exposed cloud storage and poor data governance. It’s time to refocus on #cybersecurity fundamentals.

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-…

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Package Manager Where This Regularly Happens | Kevin Patel

「 “It’s a shame, but what can you do? This is just the price of building modern web apps,” said Senior Frontend Engineer Mark Vance, echoing the sentiments of a community that completely relies on a 40-level-deep nested tree of unvetted packages maintained by pseudonymous strangers to capitalize a single string 」

Local file exposure #vulnerability in linux kernels (CVE-2026-46333):

github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/s…

Apparently this issue was already identified in 2020 but wasn't fixed back then.

Mitigation:
- runtime:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2
- To make the mitigation persistent:
echo "kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/01-harden-ptrace.conf

WARNING: This mitigation may break existing functionality. Test before deploying.

WARNING 2: While this mitigation does block the currently existing PoC, it may not prevent other attack vectors exploiting this vulnerability.
