If you heard about that hacking of the voices of traffic light crosswalks in the US recently, the root cause is the devices all had the password '1234' and an app to reprogram the devices was on the Apple app store.

ATT&CK v17 is now live! This release includes the first version of the ESXi platform, a pile of defensive upgrades, and fresh content across Enterprise, Mobile, and ICS.

The year is 2031.
Chrome development has accelerated even more under OpenAI, to the point where every tab now needs 16GB of RAM.
Mozilla has been restructured and is now a joint venture between IBM and Oracle, aiming to put the "Java" back in "JavaScript" and some vague statements about quantum computing.
Opera's parent company has been absorbed by Tencent and now requires sign-in with a China mainland phone number.
Microsoft has rebranded Edge to "Copilot for Web" and is gradually removing the last hacks that allow manual text input. Amazon and Meta are currently lobbying the government to force Microsoft to sell Copilot to them. It's not clear what "Copilot" they're talking about, but that may be intentional.
Apple's Safari has escaped regulatory scrutiny for the most part, but its market share is slow to recover after half a decade of an "Apple Intelligence first" user interface that Apple has now finally reversed course on.

Today I found an unauthenticated Docker API endpoint, and couldn't find a working exploit script, so I made one. It exfils out-of-band if you can't get output (I couldn't) and auto-cleans up after itself.

@cato Mythbusters?

@cR0w Reminds me of that story when the guy bought a wired headphone but it only worked with Bluetooth on because the wire was only used for power delivery (to spare on parts licenses IIRC).
