I work in #infosec and consider myself pretty well educated on what’s happening with #AI. But I’m about 33% of the way through @emilymbender@dair-community.social and Alex Hanna’s book, “The AI Con”, and I’ve really learned a lot more. If you’re skeptical or curious about AI, this is a must-read. I’m recommending it to everyone I know. #books #bookstodon #reading #AI #technology #nonfiction

Yes. Screw you, WSJ. #Privacy #flock https://www.wsj.com/opinion/are-flock-cameras-so-bad-e106021e?mod=rss_opinion

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Wow, Cat. Thanks for sharing this “art” so I can never unsee it…

@cjust@infosec.exchange Very ouch, Tim

@winterknight1337@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social I’m in my 8th year in exclusively vuln management. It’s 98% busywork that never ends and provides zero value.

I’m reading about this ‘looksmaxxing’ thing, which is apparently a trend where young men try to maximize their physical attractiveness. A trend? Isn’t that more like, “every single day of a young man’s life”? #looksmaxxing #trending

@Viss@mastodon.social Still a whole lotta people with 0 brains

@winterknight1337@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social Yep. I’ve just reached that point. It’s time for me to move on.

Is it wrong to really hate #AI, and disable Copilot in Microsoft Outlook, then reenable it because you like the pretty colors of the Copilot b-hole logo, and then get mad all over again and disable it? #FuckAI #FuckCopilot #FuckMicrosoft

@Dio9sys@haunted.computer girl, same

I’ve decided to post several bite-sized privacy tips here using the hashtag #QuickPrivacyTips. For many folks here, especially those following the #privacy hashtag, these tips might seem basic or obvious. I’m hoping to reach folks who maybe haven’t come across some of these tips. Any help we can offer regarding digital privacy I think is good.

On iPhone and iPad, open Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Toggle “Allow Apps to Request to Track” to the off position. More details about what this does: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/control-app-tracking-permissions-iph4f4cbd242/ios #QuickPrivacyTips #iOS #Apple #privacy

@krypt3ia@infosec.exchange @metacurity@infosec.exchange LOL, I was thinking that, too! It’s a weird way to spell “posting”…

@cR0w@infosec.exchange LOL true

If you use a #web browser other than Apple Safari, there's an awesome #privacy preserving extension you can install called Privacy Badger. It's an excellent free tool that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers: If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it’s like you suddenly disappeared. This isn't strictly an ad blocker. It helps preserve your online privacy. It's the first extension I install when I'm setting up a new browser, either for myself or a friend. Privacy Badger is created and offered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. #QuickPrivacyTips #browser #web #privacyhttps://privacybadger.org/

I recently followed this helpful guide from @mbootsman@toot.re to set up a self-signed TLS Certificate for my #HomeAssistant Green device. The process was easy to follow and super-helpful. Thanks, Marcel! #homeassistant #homenetworking #homelab #infosechttps://marcelbootsman.nl/notes/add-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-to-home-assistant-local-https/

I have a question for all the #HomeAssistant junkies out there... I happen to be reviewing my @runZeroInc@infosec.exchange report today for my home network, and I see my Home Assistant Green seems to be bound to an IP address in the Phillipines. I live in the United States, so this immediately seems suspicious. The only network connection I see is an ARP request on port 0 (also weird). Do I yank this thing off my network? Does anybody know what this could be? https://ipinfo.io/49.150.192.168

@catsalad@infosec.exchange @LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt Yeah I thought it was an ASCII b-hole?

@aglitchrat@infosec.exchange Welcome!

@MJmusicinears@mastodon.world Oh, MJ.... I think we know the answer... "pretty stuipd"!!!

@Alice@beige.party @KevBot@beige.party That’s so awesome, you guys. Truly, congratulations to you both!

@jerry@infosec.exchange 100% correct response

@huronbikes@cyberplace.social Ha ha fair

Big deal. Since they probably asked Claude to generate a strategy, it’ll leak into Google search results and we can just read it there. #AI #FuckAIhttps://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/story/the-white-house-is-keeping-its-ai-cybersecurity-framework-secret/

@torb@hachyderm.io I’ve given up on websites. I really love newsletters and posts (here) from: @metacurity@infosec.exchange@campuscodi@mastodon.social / @riskybiz@infosec.exchange@zackwhittaker@mastodon.social Zack, Cynthia, and Catalin really are all top-notch.
