Berlin Senate employee executed a command that a website politely asked him to execute. The page looked like a “verify you are human” check. It instructed to open Windows Terminal/PowerShell, paste a command and press Enter. This is what appears to lead catastrophic results. Attackers hacked the systems and exfiltrated 1.44 million, 5.8 TB. Including personnel records, applications, internal documents, emergency plans and other sensitive material.

🚨 New advisory was just published!

A heap buffer overflow in a Windows DCOM service can be leveraged to escalate privileges from a Medium IL standard user to SYSTEM IL, an issue that occurs when attacker-controlled Power Setting data and length are passed to the PSM callback.

This vulnerability earned 3rd place in the Windows LPE category at TyphoonPWN 2026. Read all the details at: https://ssd-disclosure.com/dcom-service-psmserviceexthost-lpe/

Earlier this month, @volexity detected multiple Chinese threat actors launching attacks against its customers using chained 0-day exploits in Google Chrome (CVE-2026-85046 & CVE-2026-87491) and Microsoft Windows (CVE-2026-85880). Volexity observed threat actors it tracks as UTA0560 and JungleBamboo using variations of the same exploits to deliver different malware implants. These implants ranged from a JScript backdoor (GRIMWEDGE) to a fake Google Gemini Chrome extension (LONGTALE).

I just love this:

”Feature #23 is worth noting in isolation. LinkedIn collects the user’s Do Not Track preference, then excludes it from the fingerprint hash (line 9512, excludes: { doNotTrack: true }). They record that you asked not to be tracked. Then they track you.”

Edit: resolved

Hey, I am an old school vanilla JS person and want to learn what frontend frameworks do people use these days.

Are there any statistics I could look into? Not looking for engineering advice or suggestions what to use.

I hope to get a better understanding of the engineering practices & workflows and security needs to ensure that our security work in web standards can actually land with the users.

Edit: Specifically, I am interested how people modify/insert HTML :)

bear with you? dude that sounds dangerous get out of there

LLM anti-pattern:

- #FOSS drops, everyone happy
- #FOSS bugs surface, bitrot needs handling
- Instead of contributing fixes, users use #LLM to solve their specific issues
- #FOSS never gets fixed

Bonus: bugs accumulate so much that the project eventually dies, while everyone regenerates parts of it from scratch on-demand with LLM.
