New Blog Post: Fully Dynamically Linked Rust Binary: An Experiment
https://www.kxxt.dev/blog/fully-dynamically-linked-rust-binary/
Wired has been killing it lately on covering what may well be the biggest security breach this country has ever seen. They obtained an email sent by an intelligence team within the U.S. Treasury Department that referred to Musk's actions to unilaterally slash and burn government agencies as "the single greatest insider threat risk" they have ever faced.
"There is ongoing litigation, congressional legislation, and widespread protests relating to DOGE’s access to Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service,” the email reads, per the tech-focused outlet. "If DOGE members have any access to payment systems, we recommend suspending that access immediately and conducting a comprehensive review of all actions they may have taken on these systems."
"There is reporting at other federal agencies indicating that DOGE members have performed unauthorized changes and locked civil servants out of the sensitive systems they gained access to,” the ‘Recommendations’ portion of the email continues. “We further recommend that DOGE members be placed under insider threat monitoring and alerting after their access to payment systems is revoked. Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even “read only,” likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports the warning came from a Treasury threat center run by the govt contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. The Post reports that late Friday, Booz Allen said it had “removed” a subcontractor who wrote the warning and would seek to retract or amend it. “The draft report was prepared by a subcontractor to Booz Allen and contained unauthorized personal opinions that are not factual or consistent with our standards,” company spokesperson Jessica Klenk said. Booz Allen won more than $1 billion in multiyear U.S. government contracts last year.

How much of the time/energy/money in tech is consumed solving problems that are created by the business plan?
Example: I'm reading an article on performance monitoring for Web and I can't stop my brain from saying outrageous shit like, "If you didn't ship metric tons of javascript and only used HTML and CSS then you wouldn't need to run all this expensive infrastructure to tell you that your app performs like shit." Which is not what anyone, anywhere, seems to want to hear.
Truth being unhelpful is also unhelpful.
Today was my last day at ONCD. I turned in my White House pass, laptop and phone.
I was explaining why I was resigning, while they were explaining the Special Governmental Employee (SGE) program was being eliminated. We both got to the same result. No hard feelings, I wish the best for ONCD and Cyber, there are a lot of important and pressing challenges ahead.
On the way out I watched movers empty out the Pandemic Readiness office. 😦 I went for drinks with friends.
You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.
