One official defended the new #Matrix-based system on an internal chat, according to Politico, by saying Teams wasn't as secure because "all we have is a guarantee that #Microslop [sic!] will not peek inside," and how can anyone not love that official. #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalSecurity #e2ee

We have an LG TV 60UH770V (built in 2016). Thank god, it has no microphone. It runs “webOS 3.4.2-570910 (dreadlocks-digya)”. There is no physical network connection. And no LAN and WLAN credentials have ever been set up. It should in theory never have been able to reach the #Internet. It’s frightening to see what internet connected home devices can do.

A proposed change to the German Intelligence Services Law (#BND-Gesetz) would--if enacted--require #cybersecurity authorities to notify any #0day to the German foreign and domestic intelligence service to that they can abuse it until it's fixed. This means friendly hackers that find and notify such #vulnerabilities through official channels would directly contribute to their exploitation by government spies. https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/gesetzgebungsverfahren/DE/OESI2/nachrichtendienstrecht.html Via @HonkHase@chaos.social#privacy #DigitalRights #DigitalSecurity
