The Practical Limitations of End-to-End Encryption

Internet discussions about end-to-end encryption are plagued by misunderstandings, misinformation, and some people totally missing the point. Of course, people being wrong on the Internet isn't exactly news. XKCD: Duty Calls "What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!" Yesterday, a story in The Atlantic alleged that the Trump Administration accidentally added their editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a…

When Signal was designed, our threat model was protecting the communications of civil society, journalists, just regular citizens ...

The threat model of military operations & sharing your hate of Europeans was not what Signal was designed for. Ephemeral messages and cryptographic deniability are not fit for communications that require accountability.
But I appreciate their effort to make government more efficient by adding journalists to the chat instead of requiring to go through FOIA.

It finally happened - I got phished. Impact is limited to the Mailchimp mailing list for my blog, brief blog post with details here and more to come later: https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mailchimp-mailing-list/

When you get invited to the NatSec group chat....

Today, Wiz (Woogle?) released an advisory detailing an attack chain they’ve dubbed IngressNightmare, which, if left exposed and unpatched, can be exploited to achieve remote code execution by unauthenticated attackers. The advisory, covering five separate vulnerabilities, was published after a brief embargo period, once the Kubernetes folks got their patches together.

this is a text block, can you guess which spot that goes in? thats right, the div hole. and how about this spacer? that one, it goes in there too. up next, we got this picture, can you guess where that goes? thats right, it goes in the div hole. and up next, an unordered list. hmm. i think that goes in, the div hole. now i also got this ordered list right here, do you see a tag that would fit the ordered list? thats right! its the div hole. ‘kay. up next, its the underline, we all know what tag that goes into, right? thats right,. the div hole. and up next , we have the audio ., you guessed it, it goes in the div hole.

@ojensen @mhoye I know where the 23andme building is, I can guess which ewaste facility they'd end up in

Here's the paywall-free version of today's insane must-read: The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a Signal chat including SECDEF, VPOTUS, and others that discussed the Houthi strikes. In addition to being illegal, it's just dumb. A foreign adversary's dream come true

@4ttil4sz1a @andreyknvl (and also provided those fixes back to Canonical, though I haven't tracked what was done with them). Crazy that the Linux CNA is issuing CVEs for unsigned crafted kernel modules (which can execute arbitrary code, modify arbitrary data) but not for things that have real exploits.
