This isn’t a new issue. Wolfram alpha has been around for 15 years and can easily handle high school level math problems.

The same thing that is already happening in Turkey, India and Saudi Arabia? Musk’s Twitter has no problem censoring people when it’s to help right-wing authoritarians.
Artists who rips off other great works are still developing their talent and skills. They can then go on to use to make original works. The machine will never produce anything original. It is only capable of mixing together things it has seen in its training set.
There is a very real danger that of ai eviscerating the ability for artists to make a living, making it where very few people will have the financial ability to practice their craft day in and day out, resulting in a dearth of good original art.
There’s a reason why every other browser maker has given up and adopted Chromium. It’s not easy to support a browser and rendering engine across half a dozen OSes while keeping it secure, performant and stable.
The biggest loser is Mozilla, who will lose about 80% of their revenue. If they enforce this, Firefox will pretty much be dead.
Google pays them 400 million. You really think they’re going to get anywhere close to that from donations?
It’s more of a macroeconomic issue. There’s too much investor money chasing too few good investments. Until our laws stop favoring the investor class, we’re going to keep getting more and more of these bubbles, regardless of what they are for
Windows is actually steadily improving from a security point of view. MS is finally starting to deprecate ancient garbage like NTLM, UWP apps are sandboxed and there’s even talk of rewriting core libraries in Rust to make them memory safe.

I hate dark mode, but it’s because I have a pretty bad astigmatism. Dark mode makes all text look like several mirror images swimming around each other, whereas light mode is fine.
In the US, anything with “heritage” in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.
That’s what most exploit-based hacks are. A developer makes a dumb mistake and then someone exploits it to do something they shouldn’t be able to do.
Microsoft has always been like this. They’re a giant company with a bunch of silos that act independently and often undermine what each other are trying to accomplish.
What? There’s lots of reasons to complain about Microsft, but their legacy support is not one of them. Almost every product they make gets 10 years of support + 3 more if you pay for it. In comparison, Postgres only does 5, MySQL is 8, and Mongo is 3.
iPads actually do support multiple users. They just hide the ability to turn it on behind complex IT management tools that your average user would never be able to figure out.
It’s mostly the responsibility of the client to build defense in depth. If is a straight shot from your Solarwinds server to your ADFS server, where the SAML signing keys are stored, that’s your fault, not Solarwinds or Microsoft. Well, I would still blame Solarwinds, because they were encouraging horribly insecure practices, like doing “agentless” monitoring using a highly privileged account.
In this case, yes, not letting a SAML assertion signed by the ADFS server authenticate to Azure reduces defense in depth. But if you’re at the point where your authentication servers have been compromised, you’re already so turbo-fucked that it’s very unlikely a wall like that would stop an attacker for long.
USB devices have a hard coded vendor identifier and product identifier built into them that are issued from a central authority. The ones I saw were easily identifiable as not legitimate mice.
Oof, that was painful to read as someone in cybersecurity. I respect ProPublica, but they have no idea what they’re talking about.
The Solarwinds hack was caused by Solarwinds being absolutely god awful at cybersecurity. The password to their update server was “solarwinds123”, which we know because they accidentally published it in a public Github repo. The company is a complete and utter clown show.
As for Golden SAML, almost nobody in cybersecurity would consider it a vulnerability. It’s just a fundamental part of how asymmetric cryptography works. HTTPS suffers from the same issue. If your private key gets stolen and used to forge signatures, the problem is you not properly protecting it, not the technology requiring you to keep it secret.
A more valid complaint is that Microsoft has been neglecting their on-prem software in favor of Azure. There are tons of security features that they’ve added to Azure that will probably never make their way to ADFS or Exchange.
I’ve been the one identifying the people who use jigglers. Usually it was a manager coming to us to look for a reason to fire a poor employee or a contractor trying to bill a suspiciously large number of hours for the work produced. If it was just poor performance, HR would make us do a PIP and waste 3 months on them. Violating security procedures and falsifying time sheets was an immediate termination. And for the contractors, you need evidence in order to refuse payment.
Btw, if you want to get away with it, don’t use a software or USB one. Get one that interfaces with a regular mouse. Modern cybersecurity software logs every process executed and device connected.
People remember the parody, which is usually modified to be more recognizable. Like Darth Vader never said “Luke, I am your father”; in the movie it’s actually “No, I am your father”.
