NEW, by me: Google has confirmed that some of its customers' data was stolen in a recent breach of one of its Salesforce databases.

Google attributed the hack to ShinyHunters, a group known for hacking into Salesforce instances using voice phishing attacks.

Imagine having a cmdlet in the default shell named curl and it has higher priority than the actual curl.exe

I'm old enough to remember that - by the great wisdom of the Omnissiah - it is technologically possible to let through requests to your top-up API even if the customer has an expired data plan.

Someone should dig up the STC templates for #Yettel so we can once again harness these marvels of knowledge...

Today, we’re disclosing two 9.8 CVSS memory corruption vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server that lets attackers crash production AI services through malicious HTTP requests (CVE-2025-23310 and CVE-2025-23311)

Found during new hire onboarding: our AI/ML Security Engineer, Will Vandevanter, followed our standard static analysis approach against Pwn2Own 2025 targets.

public response to the investigation: "oceangate spent all this R&D time and money to come up with this really fancy alerting system for detecting hull fractures, and when it alerted them to hull fractures they ignored the alert and kept operating regardless? what was the point of building it if they were just going to ignore the alerts? who even does that?"

me: *THOUSAND YARD STARE*

Let this be a warning to all companies (lookin' at you, healthcare) that trackers can be justified in any part of the user experience.

Leveling up my rust game (working with literal rust)

Hi @algernon, I made a plugin yesterday to integrate Iocaine into Traefik as middleware. You can find it at https://git.mstar.dev/mstar/traefik-iocaine-middleware
Idk if it’s good, but at least it works with Iocaine’s tcp mode. No idea about Unix socket though. It might.

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.

“One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era. Also they’re worried I’m planning on firing all of them. That’s true, but not relevant here.” https://www.colincornaby.me/2025/08/in-the-future-all-food-will-be-cooked-in-a-microwave-and-if-you-cant-deal-with-that-then-you-need-to-get-out-of-the-kitchen/
