Something I probably should've done a while ago, but I finally set up two-factor authentication on my Mastodon account.
The process was super smooth and it works perfectly. Highly recommend!

RT @glenngabe: Reddit über ihren Kampf gegen KI-Spam. Ich frage mich, ob das Versenden von Spam für "inauthentische Erwähnungen" Teil dieser Strategie ist :) - Wie wir Reddit in der KI-Ära echt und sicher halten "Wir analysieren Signale genau in dem Moment, in dem ein Konto erstellt wird, um verdächtige Akteure zu stoppen, bevor sie überhaupt die Chance haben zu posten. Für diejenigen, die es doch schaffen, nutzen wir LLMs (Large Language Models), um die hochgradig subtilen, koordinierten Muster falschen Verhaltens und künstlicher Hype zu erkennen, die ältere Systeme früher übersehen haben. Außerdem haben wir kürzlich bekannt gegeben, dass alle verdächtigen automatisierten Konten aufgefordert werden, ihre Menschlichkeit zu verifizieren." Ihre aktuellen Ergebnisse: Blockieren von 23 Millionen Spam-Ansichten pro Tag, bevor sie einen menschlichen Nutzer erreichen. Erfassen von ~25.000 neuen spamartigen Posts und Kommentaren täglich. Reduzierung der Spam-Exposition für unsere Nutzer um ~20% von Januar bis März 2026. Widerruf von fast 2 Millionen inauthentischen Stimmen pro Tag in den letzten drei Monaten. https://redditinc.com/news/how-were-keeping-reddit-real-and-safe-in-the-ai-era

NordVPN is quietly becoming an antivirus company
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/06/nordvpn-is-quietly-becoming-an-antivirus-company/
-
Most people still think of VPNs and antivirus as two separate categories.
NordVPN is betting that distinction no longer reflects how cyberattacks actually work.
https://www.technadu.com/nordvpn-next-generation-antivirus-expands-security-scope/628771/The company has announced a broader digital security strategy that places its next-generation antivirus technology alongside its VPN service, identity monitoring tools, and threat protection capabilities.
The shift comes as phishing campaigns, scam websites, credential theft, account takeovers, and social engineering attacks continue to outpace many traditional malware-based threats. According to NordVPN, modern users increasingly need protection from risks that don't necessarily involve downloading a malicious file...

Most people have over 100 online accounts, but families are often locked out after a death. This is a major change from the past when physical items were easier to pass on.

Mozilla Warns UK Against Breaking VPNs
Mozilla warns the UK that cracking down on VPNs won't solve the country's age-check conundrum, as these essential security tools are not a teenage loophole, but a vital part of online protection. By breaking VPNs, the UK risks undermining online security for all users.

I had a person inform me that they support Facebook claiming they got the best security in the industry. But, yet they let hackers and cloners run on their infrastructure unimpeded while preventing legal owners of accounts from regaining access and suspending access to make a new accounts because you claim they violated your ToS. You won’t do the right thing, even after validating their Drivers License. That’s real security right there!!

“Chinese don’t scam Chinese”
China is cracking down on scam networks but mostly when Chinese citizens are the victims. The result isn’t less fraud globally, just a shift: scams targeting Americans and other foreigners have surged over 40% in the US within a year. The system adapts to pressure, protecting some while exposing others. The global scam economy continues growing, even as China reports domestic success. #Cybercrime #Geopolitics #OnlineSecurity
