The sentencing of Nicholas Moore (one-year probation) serves as a case study in credential-based breaches. By compromising one set of credentials, Moore gained access to the U.S. Supreme Court, AmeriCorps, and the VA."

This highlights the persistent danger of "low-effort" entry points into high-value targets.
How are your organizations hardening against credential stuffing and lateral movement in the public sector?

@heiseonline Obwohl diese Überwachungsmaßnahmen nur zielgerichtet eingesetzt werden sollen, schaden sie uns allen – auch in Deutschland und anderen Ländern. Denn damit der Bundestrojaner im Bedarfsfall funktioniert, müssen Sicherheitslücken offengehalten (#zeroday) oder eingeschmuggelt (#backdoor) werden.

Dadurch wird die gesamte globale IT-Infrastruktur unsicherer: Kriminelle und feindliche Geheimdienste können diese Hintertüren genauso nutzen wie die eigenen Geheimdienste.

Wäre schön, wenn Heise diese Zusammenhänge im Artikel erläutern würde.

There are reports about government acquiring software for "breaching encrypted-messaging applications such as #Telegram and #Signal."

They most likely talk not about breaking the encryption or the apps, but about connecting your phone via USB to a machine trying to hack into your phone's operating system (iOS, Android).

So, changing the app makes no difference. Stick with your encrypted messenger (and Telegram is not one of them, despite their claims)

@landley @DavittoKun Again: Simplicity on it's own has value!
https://infosec.space/@OS1337/111795968531113076

I don't expect OS/1337 to become the major #Desktop OS or even put a significant dent into #Yocto #Linux's marketshare.

But I'd rather want to see it as something that drives #CriticalInfrastructure like #MedicalIT, #PowerGrids and #PLCs instead of cringeworthy #Bloatware like #Windows that is laced with so much #Govware that we can truly say #Microsoft is incompetent...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGmtP5Lg_t0#t=6m20s

In the end, it may end up like #AlpineLinux but to be fair I want to basically find a sweet spot between #mkroot-level simplicity and most modern distros with some basic quality-of-life additions that one can choose (or not!) to use.

Like a really basic package manager that takes away the hassle of "build it yourself" if one trusts me...

Grossartiges Podium zur Serie "Surveillance Fédérale" der @republik_magazin heute Abend im vollbesetzten Walcheturm.

Ein engagiertes Publikum interessierte sich brennend für die von (v.l.n.r.) Lucia Herrmann moderierte Diskussion mit Informatiker @besendorf (#RSF), Journalistin @adfichter (#Republik) und Jurist @vgyoerffy (#DigiGes).

Danke euch allen!

1. Alle #Datenträger vollverschlüsseln!
2. Keine #Backdoor|ed #Govware nutzen [#Windows, #macOS].
3. Alle #Kommunikation korrekt Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsseln [PGP/MIME für #eMail & #XMPP - #OMEMO für #Chats]
4. Sichere Passwürter nutzen!
5. Passwordmanager nutzen um sichere Passwörter zu sichern!

Das ist so simpel dass ich das bei diversen #TechIlliterates deployed hab mit 5-15min Einarbeitung der User*innen.

@stacksmashing and that is why #CensorBoot and #BitLocker are #Govware #garbage noone should use!

#SefureBoot #Windows #ITsec #EpicFail

@protonvpn Both are garbage and should be outlawed as the #Govware they are!

I sincerely hope @bsi takes notes and issues a warning if not mandatory advisory to yeet both browsers!

Nobody wants or needs a #CopilotKey and #Microsoft fuckibg around woth peoples' muscle memory will drive them away from their bloated #Govware that is #Windows / #Wondows11 and to good #Linix distros or heck even #macOS!
