If you're using @zimbra, mass-exploitation of CVE-2024-45519 has begun. Patch yesterday.

Malicious emails are coming from 79.124.49[.]86 and attempting to curl a file from that IP.

Pro-tip if you are searching for anything HTML, CSS or JavaScript related: add "mdn" to your query. This Mozilla project really is a work of love, maintained by hundreds of volunteers @openwebdocs and @MDN staff and contractors. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn

I am wondering how many people and organisations genuinely have “opponent that can break into a cloud provider, steal hard disks, then extract coherent data from them outside of the cloud storage systems” in their threat model. Because I’m guessing in most cases such an adversary has easier and more effective ways to get at any at-rest data. Encrypting the drives a, for instance, RDS database is running on is not bad, but in most cases prioritising this over other security work seems like it’s driven by audit checkboxes rather than a full analysis. Do it, but fix the big ticket stuff first.

This may be an excessively cynical view.

Wouldn’t it be easier to make it illegal to trick, mislead, or defraud people?

Everyone was up in arms about the CUPS thing but this is much more serious: CVE-2024-45200 https://github.com/latte-soft/kartlanpwn

I bought a HTML template for a site I'm making. Typically I just pull the compiled html files out and make a standalone project which I maintain in a text editor. But, this time I figured it's time to learn modern web development so I tried using the toolchain it came with.

The toolchain consists of 3,446 dependencies, runs 15 processes, and uses 3 GB of ram. Unfortunately I can't run for president, but if I could I would run on the platform of making Node.js illegal.

Massive e-learning platform Udemy is training its AI on instructors' classes. It gave them a short "opt-out" window to reject this. Instructors are surprised to learn that time has passed.
