I’m catching up on the news today and see that Nvidia forecasts $1T in GPU sales over the next 18 months. That is crazy. I don’t know how that works at any level

If Trump’s ongoing plan to cause hyperinflation of the US Dollar succeeds (as it shows every chance of doing) this seems feasible.

I’ve wondered for a while if this is the plan for most ‘AI’ data centres:

1. Borrow hundreds of billions via fixed-rate bonds.
2. Build a thing.
3. Crash the economy so hard that a billion dollars is the price of six eggs.
4. Repay the loans.

the *european* payment processor - #nexi - that the FSFE was using for donations, was doing some disproportional requests violating the #privacy of the #donors to the FSFE, and in the fog of war cancelled the contract with the #FSFE. Now the FSFE is hunting to get those 450 donors attention and donations back. details in this archived mail: https://ctrlc.hu/~stef/fsfe-nexi.txt

maybe some journalist could shine some attention at this case?

in linux you can use the evil bird emoticon (:>) to destroy files, eg `:> important_document.txt`

the bird will eat the file and leave it completely empty!

Fun stuff from my team mates Rene Rehme @renereh1, Nina Piontek and @kantorkel:

During my previous research, I identified a "Won't Fix" DoS vulnerability affecting the latest versions of Windows, including 25H2 and Server 2025.

@chmod644 Attention Traps?

@chmod644 We should definitely come up with a catchy name!

Shall we stop calling them "social networks" and give them a more descriptive and accurate naming, like "Advertisment agregators and political view manipulative instruments".

I know, is not catchy, but at least it doesn't give the impression that you are interacting socially in a posstive and human way.

🦀 Looking for Rust malware samples to practice analyzing? Our Rust Malware Sample Gallery just received a major update, with 20 new families added! https://github.com/decoderloop/rust-malware-gallery

The Sample Gallery collects links to articles about malware written in Rust, organizes them by malware family, and includes a download link to a publicly available sample for every malware family. This is a resource for any malware analyst who wants to get hands-on with real Rust malware.

The last time the Sample Gallery was updated was almost 2 years ago, in January 2024. Since then, there's been an explosive growth in new Rust malware, including all of the following families that are now in the Sample Gallery:

SPICA, KrustyLoader, RustDoor, SSLoad, Fickle Stealer, Cicada3301 Ransomware, RustyClaw, Embargo Ransomware, RustyAttr, Akira Ransomware (both the Akira_v2 and Megazord variants), Banshee (Rust variant), RALord Ransomware, RustoBot, Tetra Loader, EDDIESTEALER, Myth Stealer, Rustonotto, RustyPages, ChaosBot

This is nearly one new Rust malware family observed in the wild, every month. Rust as a programming language for malware is here to stay!

I may be wrong but assuming users don't know what files are helped me resolve a number of family techsupport situations.

SmartScreen windows got increasingly hard to unblock over time "and for a while, it was good". Then I went to a client where the sysadmin unblocked the freshly downloaded executable from the properties window so fast I had to ask him to show me once more what he just did because I couldn't follow.

Life finds a way.

It seems there is some exceptionally dump vendor policy in the works so #NoCVE

@Viss As I see with the rise of smart phones companies successfully convinced users that files and directories are low level magic they are not supposed to know or care about. From this point doing stuff with files in a file manager is sorcery indistinguishable from copying 5 pages of sorcery into the sorcery manager. Confirmation windows never stopped any attacks because users click Yes faster than the blink of an eye.

In essence users are expected to make critical decisions about a system that is hidden from them in every other aspect of working with computers.
