Infosec was paid handsomely all these years and still left all these bugs lying around. Someone from the money side should be asking questions :PPPPPPPP

- Tokenomics;
- The popularity of Tim Nolan's Odyssey.

Today's story is the result of an ungodly amount of research, and I am very glad to finally be able to share it with you.

Authorities in Australia have arrested two men believed to be members of TeamPCP, a prolific cybercrime and data extortion group blamed for perpetrating the longest running spree of software supply chain attacks ever.

In a statement released today, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said two unnamed suspects from Western Australia, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in connection with a “sophisticated cybercrime syndicate that allegedly created malicious open-source software to rob thousands of global businesses.”

The AFP did not name the defendants, but KrebsOnSecurity learned the 21-year-old suspect’s real identity in June, and has been communicating with him ever since. This story includes interviews with TeamPCP’s self-described spokesperson, and examines clues left behind by the TeamPCP leader that likely led to his undoing.

Scrapers are out in force in the past week or so. I'm sorry if i've not been responsive to your emails -- I'm trying to figure a way to deal with that. We're currently sustaining about 10,000 requests per minute just to git.kernel.org per single Toronto node, or about 40,000 requests per minute across all git.kernel.org nodes. These are not light hits -- these are random commit-id requests that require running git, or diffs, or plain patch downloads.

Like I said, the bots are solving Anubis difficulty 5, though we manage to weed out about 45% of all requests through Anubis itself, plus some analysis of the requests (some cgit query string combinations are unlikely to be ever hit by humans). Still, we're looking at about 7M requests per day that are attributable to bots. That's a guesstimate, because these bots look and act just like real browsers.

If you answer with "why don't you just..." I am going to be cross with you. There is no "why don't you just" here.

Finally something which I am really interested in happens in the world of computing.

This is the Chimaera Processor¹ made into something useful - a processor natively running both arm64 _and_ IBM/Z code².

Also, more details at ServeTheHome³.

I would love to see it… is it microcoded? The IBM/Z is now a POWER variant, microprogrammed (IBM-speak and ​ -speak for microcode) for the IBM/Z ISA so what did they do for arm64?

At long last something better than AI slop!

@david_chisnall I absolutely hated this as a red teamer, thanks! :)

@mr0vka

@hajovonta @screwlisp that is only half of the problem. I actively try to add content to search indexes and they just outright refuse to index my completely mundane (no spicy/illegal) content.

@sassdawe Oh that'd be great! Here's an example with some more thoughts:

@airwhale It's not on TikTok

My newest Citation Needed project made an appearance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver! It’s a work in progress, but you can see the new interactive version of my map of the Trump family’s crypto ventures at https://map.citationneeded.news/.

The map contains hundreds of business entities and links to the Trump family (with more being added!), augmented with data from the president’s most recent financial filings to estimate how much money is flowing in. It will be queryable by other researchers/journalists.

@rebane2001 https://blog.google/security/advancing-protection-in-chrome-on/ attack surface reduction, apparently, and now they're doing it by default, which feels pretty wild

I guess it doesn't impact googles ideal user, who only goes to 2 websites which are both operated by google

The End of SPARC

If Hollywood had any nerve there would be three different movies about a scruffy blue-collar hero who's down on his luck but finds meaning and new love cutting down Flock cameras shooting right now

@sassdawe Yeah I kinda understand, but this "OS as a service but not really" policy is confusing + docs could be more forward about "bleeding edge" features (like "we mark this purple because you won't find this in releases")

@0rkk0

@sassdawe @0rkk0 Yeah at least as something I can enable post-install from the original media

Edit: it's like 8GB already ffs, I think they aren't concerned about size...
