New sensitive breach: "AI girlfriend" site Muah[.]ai had 1.9M email addresses breached last month. Data included AI prompts describing desired images, many sexual in nature and many describing child exploitation. 24% were already in @haveibeenpwned.

It's the spooky season, and #Microsoft and #Adobe have released their spookiest patches yet. Two bugs from Microsoft are under attack, and one looks strangely familiar. @TheDustinChilds breaks down the release and points out some deployment priorities. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/10/8/the-october-2024-security-update-review
Happy #PatchTuesday from Microsoft: 5 ZERO-DAYS (2 exploited, all of them publicly disclosed)

We can build the web that we want to see. Watch the recording of my talk from #XOXOFest!
From HTTP request to ROP chain in Node.js! 🔥
Our latest blog post explains how to turn a file write vulnerability in a Node.js application into RCE – even though the target's file system is read-only:
In response to my earlier post, some Twitter folks asked why I'm "so afraid of telemetry".
For one, it's because I've seen first-hand what ends up in it. Crash reporting is particularly bad: it's nearly impossible to reliably scrub of sensitive info - URLs, auth tokens, etc.
Worse, a lot of other "telemetry" is deliberately privacy-violating. "Don't worry, we only collect anonymized GPS routes". Except, you know, a buyer of this data can filter by tracks originating from my home.
But above all, I just don't want the mental burden of figuring this out for every piece of software I install, so I hate that it's the new norm.
If you want a peek at how I'm using your software, meaningfully ask, instead of sneaking it in on page 38 of the EULA.
@alienghic @ai6yr @meganL I read through Ajay Singh Chaudhary's "The Exhausted of the Earth" some months ago.
I got to this part:
"Capital will chew through the biosphere and societies alike in pursuit of an ever more costly maintenance of profitability."
About the same time as I read a piece about OpenAI claiming to want to spend the entire GDP of Japan on burning fuel and making electronic waste.
So I was not able to disagree with that part of his analysis.
TIL: AVX-512 supports an instruction implementing binary logic defined by a 3-input LUT. Sounds super handy.
#Nikon video limit of 30 minutes? Let see if I can patch this bad boi.
