I believe Hetzner needs some people in their incident management department.

Apologies for the downtime on infosec.exchange. Hetzner performed some switch maintenance that was supposed to only cause "momentary packet loss", but in fact disconnected servers from the vlan until I manually refreshed the vlan.

Not sure what the scam would have been, but I do love messing with them.

While it's certainly entertaining isn't it a problem to answer to spammers? They now know that your number is valid and someone reads their messages. :thinking:

Management: „Sorry dear customers, we’ve lost all your data to the Russians and Chinese once again. But you will be happy to hear that we won’t pay some scapegoats their full bonus!“

Joke aside I have to ask why security wasn’t part of the target agreement before 🤔

Maintenance alert for infosec. and fedia. services**

On Monday, July 1, I will be performing some disruptive upgrades to the various infosec.*and fedia services.

Notably, I will be upgrading to postrgres 16, upgrading the memory in the database server, consolidating infosec.space onto the infosec.exchange server (this will not change how either instance operates), de-container-ifying pixel, consolidating fedia.social and infosec.town onto the container server, moving fedia.io to less expensive hardware, among others.

The intention is to reduce costs by consolidating, which should not pose a problem since the current hardware was intended to handle growth, and we're experiencing contraction.

If you wanted to avoid the big cloud providers, which would you currently recommend?

It should be suitable for a small team, have a focus on data protection and security, have measures against spam included and you should be able to bring your own domain.

Tell me wise veteran: Will the backlog ever be empty? Will there be a time the user won’t click shit? Will top management grace us with a smile one day?

What’s the path to enlightenment? 🙏

The number of active Mastodon accounts continues to drop, including here on Infosec.exchange, however it’s dropping slower than elsewhere. According to https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon we are the number 4 (soon to be number 3) most active instance. I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad.

Time to set your Palo firewalls on fire: https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-3400

Newk ,
@Newk@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry

  1. If your company is running a Palo Alto device and your network team didn’t patch this one right away you should schedule a meeting with them right now…

  2. We want vendors to disclose vulns asap. We shouldn’t give them shit if they do. Vulns happen. They shouldn’t and especially not in security products like this but shit happens and I’d rather have them handle the situation professionally.

  3. Of all the firewall solutions Palo Alto still has the least problems I believe.

I might be a fanboy but I’d never buy a Forti again because they have so many stupid vulns and quality problems compared to this one CVE in recent years.
