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)

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.
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.
Cisco security advisories:
At a glance no mention of exploitation:
The Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory.
Neither the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) nor the Cisco Meraki Incident Response Team is aware of any malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory.
Okay, after reading this email, I can shut down my computer and change jobs:
'Dear colleague, the fact that our software does not function after 24 hours is perfectly expected. It depends on many dependencies, and we do not have complete control over all of them. For this reason, we suggest, as a standard practice, a service restart every 12 hours. This will ensure everything functions correctly.
And as a general recommendation, we always suggest restarting all services (if you are using Docker) or the entire server (if you are using a traditional setup) every 3 days, as systems tend to get bogged down over time and need to be optimized.'
