If you’re buying a new PC then you probably need to read this:
TL:DR The Recall feature screenshots your screen very regularly & stores it.
Everything goes into the database the AI that analyses the screenshots creates & the database has NO expiry date.
This includes passwords, financial data, websites visited, private messages sent etc.
To quote the article “the security has holes you could dive an aircraft thru”
"As of today, all the Nordic countries have signed bilateral #security agreements with #Ukraine. This is a true manifestation of a long-term commitment to #SupportUkraine... guided by Ukraine's needs"
"Volodymyr, you and Ukrainian people can count on continued strong, Nordic support. Our strategic aim is Ukrainian #VICTORY.
Spain, Belgium, and Portugal have signed security agreements with Ukraine, according to President Zelensky. The agreements include joint projects in weapon production, technology, and ammunition. The initiative has already been joined by over 20 countries. #Ukraine#security

Also, if some #security expert could help me understand...
If I am getting 100 or even 1000 spam emails a day... why not 1 million? Seriously.
The number staying at a roughly steady daily rate seems to imply only a few spammers are behind it and throttling their attack. So why then can't they be found and dealt with?
If it were unfettered I feel like I'd be seeing an unlimited amount of spam.
Studie: IT-Berufe mit hohem Zukunftspotenzial, aber bei Jugendlichen unbeliebt
Berufe in der IT haben ein hohes Zukunftspotenzial, zeigt eine Studie. Die Präferenzen Jugendlicher liegen aber woanders – sofern sie einen Berufswunsch haben.
The Spanish, Irish & Norwegian govts announced Wed that they would recognize a #Palestinian state, saying there would be no #peace in the #MiddleEast w/o it.
Israel denounced the move as giving aid to its enemy #Hamas.
The coordinated announcements are purely symbolic — but not w/o some power.
The leaders of the 3 countries said they hoped their recognition would press #Israel, the #Palestinians & the international community toward a #TwoStateSolution to the conflict.
“In the midst of a #war, w/tens of thousands killed & injured, we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for Israelis & Palestinians alike: Two states, living side by side, in #peace & #security,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said.
In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz ordered the immediate recall of the Israeli ambassadors to #Spain, #Ireland & #Norway. “I am sending a clear message today: #Israel will not be complacent against those who undermine its sovereignty & endanger its #security.”
The #UnitedStates govt reiterated its position that recognizing a #PalestinianState was premature & must be the result of direct negotiations between Israel & the #Palestinians.
Is it just me, or has Microsoft gone completely crazy? They are implementing spyware that takes screenshots every second and forcing AI integration. Why would anyone willingly purchase this? Anyone with experience in computer or information security knows that it is a bad idea, even if it is locally done. Just don't do it. Yet, here we are, and they are doubling down on this idea. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/#privacy#security
A helicopter carrying President #EbrahimRaisi of #Iran & his foreign minister crashed on Sunday in the country’s mountainous northwest, acc/to state media, deepening the turmoil that has gripped the nation on both the international & domestic fronts in recent months.
#Raisi, 63, was traveling from Iran’s border w/ Azerbaijan to inaugurate a joint dam project.
#Raisi is a hard-line religious cleric who came of age during the #Islamic revolution. Under #Iran’s #theocracy, Raisi, as president, is the 2nd most powerful individual in Iran’s #political structure after… #Khamenei.
After becoming president in 2021, Raisi consolidated power & marginalized reformists who wanted to defuse tensions w/the #West. He repeatedly said he pursued a policy of “strong diplomacy,” forging closer #economic & #security ties w/ #Russia & #China.

Google fixes third actively exploited Chrome zero-day in a week
Google has released a new emergency Chrome security update to address the third zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks within a week.
"Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2024-4947 exists in the wild," the search giant said in a security advisory published on Wednesday.
The high-severity zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2024-4947) is caused by a type confusion weakness in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine reported by Kaspersky's Vasily Berdnikov and Boris Larin.
Although such flaws generally enable threat actors to trigger browser crashes by reading or writing memory out of buffer bounds, they can also exploit them for arbitrary code execution on targeted devices.
The other two actively exploited Chrome zero-days patched this week are CVE-2024-4671 (a use-after-free flaw in the Visuals component) and CVE-2024-4761 (an out-of-bounds write bug in the V8 JavaScript engine)
Der Messenger #Telegram ist für eine sichere Kommunikation nicht geeignet - standardmäßig sind die Nachrichten nicht einmal Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Besser geeignet sind #Signal oder #Threema. Übrigens: Elon Musk ist das Paradebeispiel eines Trolls. Einfach ignorieren. 😉
