Browsers in FreeBSD Jail⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ Nico Cartron ☛ Realtek_8188EU_on_FreeBSD⠀⇛ As I mentioned in my previous article about moving to a more recent laptop to run FreeBSD, the only thing I wanted to improve was the Wifi connectivity. I did some research, and eventually went for a TP-Link TL- WN725N, running an 8188EU Realtek chipset. * ⚓ TuMFatig ☛ Running_Web_Browsers_in_FreeBSD_Jail⠀⇛ Using OpenBSD as a daily driver, I got used to having programs being restricted in their permissions. Especially Web Browsers from ports that are patched to implement pledge(2) and unveil (8). Long story short, this guarantees that Firefox, Chromium & friends will get killed if they try to access system resources that they were not allowed to access; be it a device or a file system space. FreeBSD 14.1, AFAIK, does not implement such feature. And getting a bit paranoid because of “Fish Linux” , I decided my FreeBSD Web browsers should be living in jail. Once FreeBSD is installed, it is time to read the Chapter 17. Jails and Containers section of the Handbook. Another precious reading is Jailing GUI Applications , from the FreeBSD wiki. Complete the reading session with the man pages. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 342 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Canonical_and_Ubuntu_as_Microsoft_Resellers_Proprietary_Surveil.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Canonical_and_Ubuntu_as_Microsoft_Resellers_Proprietary_Surveil.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical and Ubuntu as Microsoft Resellers (Proprietary, Surveillance, Back Doors)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Canonical_provides_the_ideal_platform_for_Abusive Monopolist_Microsoft_Microsoft_trap_Azure_IoT_Operations⠀⇛ * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Getting_started_with_Microsoft_trap_Azure_IoT_Operations_on Ubuntu⠀⇛ * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_provides_the_ideal_platform_for_Abusive_Monopolist Microsoft_Microsoft_trap_Azure_IoT_Operations⠀⇛ * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Getting_started_with_Microsoft_trap_Azure_IoT_Operations_on Ubuntu⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 375 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Canonical_Ubuntu_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Canonical_Ubuntu_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Ubuntu_LTS_(server)_releases_have_become_fairly similar_to_each_other⠀⇛ Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was released this past April, so one of the things we've been doing since then is building out our install system for 24.04 and then building a number of servers using 24.04, both new servers and servers that used to be build on 20.04 or 22.04. What has been quietly striking about this process is how few changes there have been for us between 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04. Our customization scripts needed only very small changes, and many of the instructions for specific machines could be revised by just searching and replacing either '20.04' or '22.04' with '24.04'. * ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_866⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 866 for the week of November 10 – 16, 2024. The full version of this issue is available here. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_transition_to_in-house_software_development_in_the automotive_industry⠀⇛ Who will win the race to the perfect SDV?

Development formally got underway on Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ last month, with the final stable release of Ubuntu 25.04 arriving on Thursday April 17, 2025. You’re probably wondering what sort of new features Ubuntu 25.04 may offer and the daily builds will get everyone ample chance to find out, first-hand, nice and early. Only, there’s not much new to see — yet. * ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ Debian_vs_Ubuntu:_Which_GNU/Linux_Distro_Fits_Your_Needs Best?⠀⇛ Both Debian and Ubuntu are often considered outstanding choices to meet your desktop and server needs.

The full version of this issue is available here. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_Profile-guided_optimization:_A_case_study⠀⇛ Software developers spend a huge amount of effort working on optimization – extracting more speed and better performance from their algorithms and programs. This work usually involves a lot of time-consuming manual investigation, making automatic performance optimization a hot topic in the world of software development. Profile-guided_optimization (PGO) (also known as FDO, feedback- driven optimization) is a technique that leverages the power of a profiler and a compiler to automatically optimize a piece of software.  The idea is that a binary is compiled with built-in instrumentation that generates a profile when executed.  This profile is used as input for the compiler in a subsequent build of the same binary, and it serves as a guide for further optimizations. * ⚓ Product_of_the_Week:_Artila’s_Matrix-770_Ubuntu-Core-Based_Cortex-A9 IIoT_Gateway⠀⇛ Modern connected devices deployed today must provide secure and powerful edge computing capabilities within harsh, safety- critical industrial environments. These devices should enable seamless communication between modern IoT devices and legacy solutions and support data aggregation and preprocessing, remote monitoring and management, data security, reliability, and much more. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 516 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora / Red Hat / IBM Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Celebrating_Red_Hat's_origin_story:_No_one_innovates alone [Ed: Chief Marketing Officer at Red Hat continues to rewrite history... for marketing purposes]⠀⇛ The tech industry is full of stories of lone geniuses, exaggerated for the sake of egos and investors.

Read on to find out more information such as important upcoming dates for F42, and a few tidbits of things happening around the project lately * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Security_of_LLMs_and_LLM_systems:_Key_risks_and safeguards [Ed: Red Hat is pushing a joke and a scam, as the company has no solid strategy left]⠀⇛ First of all, let’s differentiate between LLMs and LLM systems. This difference is key when analyzing the risks and the countermeasures that need to be applied. An LLM is an algorithm designed to analyze data, identify patterns and make predictions based on that data. A LLM system is a piece of software composed of artificial intelligence (AI) components, which includes a LLM along with non-AI components. * ⚓ NeuroFedora ☛ The_NeuroFedora_Blog:_Next_Open_NeuroFedora_meeting:_02 December_1300_UTC⠀⇛ Please join us at the next regular Open NeuroFedora team meeting on Monday 02 December at 1300 UTC. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Deepen_your_knowledge_of_Linux_security [Ed: The Register published some damaging pieces about IBM layoffs.

This year’s Public Sector Partner Pinnacle Award winners stand out not only for their commitment to reimagining the future of government but also for their tireless efforts to help agencies achieve mission-critical objectives with enhanced efficiency and security-first approaches. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_powers_the_world’s fastest_supercomputer_and_the_future_of_exascale_computing⠀⇛ Innovation in computing is fueled by a combination of leading hardware and software–and the latest computing revolution is happening at the exascale level. Exascale machines are capable of performing an exaflop, or one quintillion calculations per second. This marks a new frontier, and one of the leading supercomputers at this level, El Capitan, has set a new benchmark for computational power. The underlying software powering this machine? Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 624 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Model_Viewers_illustration⦈_ * ⚓ 7_Useful_Free_and_Open_Source_3D_Model_Viewers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This article focuses on software tools which let you view 3D models. There’s a wide range of formats available, and most tools don’t support every format. For 3D printers, the most used file format is STL. An STL file stores information about your 3D model. The format represents the raw surface of a model with small triangles. This file will encode the surface geometry of the object, the concept used at this step is called tessellation. Tesselation is the action of tiling a surface with geometric shapes, and especially triangles The tools featured here make it very simple to view 3D models. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Nosey_Parker_-_find_secrets_in_textual_data_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The scanning and reporting steps are implemented as separate commands because you may wish to generate several reports from one expensive scan run.

It’s a lightning talk that lasts just about 7 minutes and you can find the embedded video below, as well as the slides and the talk transcription if you prefer written formats. Truth be told, the topic deserves a longer presentation, for sure. However, when I submitted my talk proposal for XDC I wasn’t sure if the extension was going to be public by the time XDC would take place. This meant I had two options: if I submitted a half-slot talk and the extension was not public, I needed to talk for 15 minutes about some general concepts and a couple of NVIDIA vendor-specific extensions: VK_NV_device_generated_commands and VK_NV_device_generated_commands_compute. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Ignite_Creativity_in_Hack_Week⠀⇛ The event is a cornerstone of fostering creativity and collaboration and invites participants to explore personal and community-driven projects. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Geoffrey Copin ☛ Build_your_own_SQLite,_Part_3:_SQL_parsing_101⠀⇛ After discovering the SQLite file format and implementing the .tables command in part 1 and part 2 of this series, we're ready to tackle the next big challenge: writing our own SQL parser from scratch. * § Medical⠀➾ o ⚓ Medevel ☛ Doctor_Dok:_A_Promising_Open-Source_(MIT)_Solution_for Centralized_Personal_Medical_Records_(PHR)⠀⇛ Doctor Dok is an AI-powered medical data framework designed to securely store, manage, and interpret your medical history, all with full end-to-end encryption. o ⚓ Medevel ☛ Why_Haven't_We_Seen_New_Open-Source_EMRs_(Electronic Medical_Records)_in_the_Last_Decade?⠀⇛ Let's talk about something that's been bugging me: why is the world of open-source Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) feeling a bit... stuck? 🤔 Imagine trying to build a spaceship while following a million different rulebooks, working with limited funding, and competing against giant tech companies. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Paolo Melchiorre ☛ Thoughts_on_my_election_as_a_DSF board member⠀⇛ In this long journey I believe I have learned a lot about the people in the community and, much more, I have learned about myself through the interaction with each of them.

The other is to streamline Google’s engineering efforts: One operating system is simpler to maintain than two. * ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Google_is_transforming_Chrome_OS_into_Android⠀⇛ Android as an operating system is designed for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, cars, and soon XR glasses, whereas Chrome OS is primarily designed for laptops. While the term Chromebooks encompasses tablets as well, it’s fair to say that Chrome OS isn’t as suited for tablet use as Android is, at least when it comes to media consumption. On the flip side, it’s also a fair assessment that Android isn’t as suited for tablet use as Chrome OS is, at least when it comes to productivity. Google has tried to add features to both operating systems to bridge that gap, but even after a bit of convergence, neither platform managed to really eat Apple’s lunch. * ⚓ OS News ☛ Google_is_reportedly_killing_Chrome_OS_in_favour_of_Android⠀⇛ Of course, this being Google, any of these rumours or plans could change at any time without any sense of logic behind it, as managers fulfill their quotas, get promoted, or leave the company. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1249 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/I_Always_Keep_a_Linux_Live_USB_Handy_for_These_4_Reasons.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/I_Always_Keep_a_Linux_Live_USB_Handy_for_These_4_Reasons.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I Always Keep a Linux Live USB Handy for These 4 Reasons⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇a_person_working_in_a_laptop⦈_ Quoting: I Always Keep a Linux Live USB Handy for These 4 Reasons — A Live Linux USB is one of the best rescue tools every computer user should have.

So I figured, why not write my own, NIH style. Yay! Gave me a good excuse to learn API design for Rust and whatnot. Anyway, the result of this effort is the hidutils_collection_of repositories which includes commandline tools like hid-recorder and hid-replay but, more importantly, the hidreport (documentation) and hut (documentation) crates. Let's have a look at the latter two. Both crates were intentionally written with minimal dependencies, they currently only depend on thiserror and arguably even that dependency can be removed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1573 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Mozilla_Firefox_Nightly_Reports.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Mozilla_Firefox_Nightly_Reports.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Firefox Nightly Reports⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_New_Address_Bar_Updates_are_Here_–_These_Weeks_in Firefox:_Issue_172⠀⇛ * ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_Celebrating_20_years_of_Firefox_–_These_Weeks_in Firefox:_Issue_171⠀⇛ * ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_Experimental_address_bar_deduplication,_better_auto- open_Picture-in-Picture,_and_more_–_These_Weeks_in_Firefox:_Issue_170⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1602 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/New_Steam_Games_with_Native_Linux_and_AAA_Linux_Gaming_on_ARM64.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/New_Steam_Games_with_Native_Linux_and_AAA_Linux_Gaming_on_ARM64.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ New Steam Games with Native Linux and AAA Linux Gaming on ARM64 Mac Hardware⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_Linux_Clients_-_2024-11-20 Edition⠀⇛ Between 2024-11-13 and 2024-11-20 there were 17 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 124 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 13.7 % of total released titles.

You can’t have weeks full of great titles the whole year! * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Epic_Allows_Internet_Archive_To_Distribute_For_Free_‘Unreal’ &_‘Unreal_Tournament’_Forever⠀⇛ Why would game publishers do this sort of thing? There are plenty of theories. The fad of retro-gaming is such that publishers can claim they are reserving their rights for an eventual remastered version, or otherwise a re-released version, of these games. Sometimes they even follow through on those plans. In other cases, some companies are just so ingrained in IP protectionism that they can’t see past their own nose (hi there, Nintendo!). In still other cases the companies that published the game no longer exist, and unraveling who now holds the rights to their games can be an absolute nightmare. But it just doesn’t have to be like this. Companies could be willing to give up their iron-fisted control over their IP for these older games they aren’t willing to support or preserve themselves and let others do it for them. And if you need a real world example of that, you need look only at how Epic is working with The Internet Archive to do exactly that. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ AAA_Linux_Gaming_on_ARM64_Mac_Hardware,_Now_a_Reality⠀⇛ Things are moving fast for Asahi Linux, the Linux distribution for ARM64-based Macs, and just last month there was a long post from Rosenzweig about the fact that AAA gaming is now at reach on the M1 ARM64 hardware from Apple. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1666 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_KiCad_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_KiCad_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32, KiCad, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 20, 2024 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ DFRobot_EDGE102-DMX512_lighting_controller_combines ESP32-S3_MCU_and_DMX512_protocol_chip⠀⇛ DFRobot’s EDGE102-DMX512 is a DMX512 lighting programming controller based on ESP32-S3 wireless MCU designed for efficient management of stage, theater, and venue lighting.

Ada is a very well-designed language. It looks funky with its Pascal-like syntax, but it’s clear people thought hard about how things should fit together to give the programmer a good experience. There are reasonable alternatives to Ada these days (D, Rust, among others) but Ada will always hold a special place in my heart. In the style of So You Think You Know C? I present this article.

During this time, there are two emails you DON’T want to miss: the first saying you made it to auditions, and the second that you’re in the Contestant Pool. (This second email comes with your contestant form, and yes, I have my short, fun anecdotes to share with host Ken Jennings ready to go.) The next time I audition, reader, I am eliminating refreshing my inbox every five minutes. Instead, I’ll use Thunderbird Filters to make any emails from the Jeopardy Contestant department STAND OUT.

You can achieve this using Network Observability eBPF agent, which runs in the Linux kernel and can trace various network activities with minimal performance overhead, allowing you to observe and capture detailed information about network traffic and events in real-time. § Key components The following are key components for Network Observability with eBPF: 1. eBPF network events monitoring kprobe eBPF hook: Network events monitoring using eBPF kernel probes (kprobes) provides deep, kernel-level insights into network stack behavior. The NetObserv eBPF agent leverages the entry point to efficiently capture packet metadata and identify policy violations with minimal overhead. The hook implemented in the NetObserv eBPF agent can capture multiple events within the same network flow and generate a list of network events that applied to that flow, with a limit of up to four events per flow. 2. ovn-kubernetes_observability_library: The eBPF agent captures network events as an array of bytes, which is not very user- friendly. This library provides functionality to convert these events into human-readable strings, making them easily understandable for customers. § Use cases for Network Observability with eBPF Below are specific use cases for Network Observability with eBPF. § Monitor network policies⠀➾ When you apply OVN network_policies (like Kubernetes NetworkPolicy), eBPF agent can monitor allowed and/or blocked traffic, detecting whether packets are allowed or blocked based on network policies. An example of these network policies is as follows: [...] * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Open_source_tools_that_tell_us…_what_they_do!⠀⇛ The hollow, mouth-mealy language has the hallmarks of a chatbot, with the answer tacked in the middle without adequate punctuation. I’m seeing this more and more: someone outsources their boilerplate, then attempts to shoehorn additional information they think is necessary. Except, they don’t maintain the same language or tone the chatbot is using, so it goes from being condescendingly milquetoast to stilted, then back to milquetoast. It makes sense they wouldn’t put in any effort, they’re using a chatbot!

Let me take you through a typical (if there is such a thing) day in my life as a Linux sysadmin managing large-scale systems.

Finastra, which provides software and services to 45 of the world’s top 50 banks, notified customers of the security incident after a cybercriminal began selling more than 400 gigabytes of data purportedly stolen from the company. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Russian_Phobos_Ransomware_Operator_Extradited_to_US⠀⇛ Starting November 2020, the indictment claims, Ptitsyn conspired with others to create and offer Phobos under the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, where affiliates were using Phobos to encrypt victims’ data and demand ransom payments. The sale and distribution of the ransomware were coordinated using a Tor-based website, while the RaaS was advertised on dark web cybercrime forums and messaging platforms. * ⚓ The Record ☛ TSA_not_monitoring_transportation_sector_efforts_to_stop ransomware,_watchdog_says⠀⇛ A U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on Tuesday said four of the six cybersecurity recommendations made to TSA since 2018 have still not been addressed — including one centered around the agency’s efforts to protect companies from ransomware. “For example, in January 2024, GAO reported that ransomware was having increasingly devastating impacts in the sector and found that TSA’s security directives did not align with ransomware leading practices,” said Tina Won Sherman, director of Homeland Security and Justice at the GAO. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Alleged_Phobos_ransomware_IT_admin_extradited_to_US⠀⇛ According to American prosecutors [PDF], since November 2020 the Phobos crew let criminals use its Windows ransomware for free to infect others, then charged those crooks $300 per decryption key, which were then resold to victims for amounts determined by the intruders. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ 21K_Equinox_patients,_employees_notified_of_data theft⠀⇛ Equinox, a New York State health and human services organization, has begun notifying over 21 thousand clients and staff that cyber criminals stole their health, financial, and personal information in a "data security incident" nearly seven months ago. Adding insult to injury, it appears the LockBit ransomware gang – which was supposed to have been shut down at the time of the incident – may be to blame. * ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Drinking_Water_Systems_For_27_Million_Americans Vulnerable⠀⇛ Nearly 27 million Americans are served by drinking water systems that have high-risk or critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities, according to a new report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG). An additional 83 million Americans are served by systems that have medium or low-severity vulnerabilities, defined as “having externally visible open portals,” the EPA OIG report said. * ⚓ EPA ☛ Management_Implication_Report:_Cybersecurity_Concerns_Related_to Drinking_Water_Systems [PDF]⠀⇛ The passive assessment covered 1,062 drinking water systems for cybersecurity vulnerabilities that serve over 193 million people across the United States. Scan results for October 8, 2024, identified 97 drinking water systems serving approximately 26.6 million users as having either critical or high-risk cybersecurity vulnerabilities. A non-linear scoring algorithm was used to prioritize the highest risk findings that should be addressed first. The findings are ranked by the 'score' and considers the impact of problem identified, risk to the organization, and number of times the problem has been observed * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ A_third_of_Americans_are_served_by_insecure_water systems⠀⇛ The EPA OIG released a report last week that found 308 of the 1,062 drinking water systems it tested were lacking in terms of the security of their computer systems. By the sounds of it, we're talking the IT used in back-office and operational functions. The analysis relied on a "passive assessment of cybersecurity vulnerabilities," which included mapping the digital footprint of water systems. * ⚓ The Age AU ☛ Australian_private_schools_at_risk_of_extortion: Australian_Signals_Directorate⠀⇛ Cybercriminals see private schools as increasingly attractive extortion targets, threatening to publish sensitive student and parent data unless school authorities pay a ransom, according to the nation’s top cyber spy agency. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Most_of_2023's_Top_Exploited_Vulnerabilities_Were Zero-Days_-_Schneier_on_Security⠀⇛ Zero-day vulnerabilities are more commonly used, according to the Five Eyes: [...] * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Akira_Ransomware_[Publishes]_30_Victims_on_Leak_Site_in One_Day⠀⇛ Cyberint, which was acquired by Check Point this fall, observed Akira adding 32 new victims to the ‘Leaks’ section between November 13 and November 14. A majority of these victims had their stolen information made public without first being named in the ‘News’ section. * ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ 200,000_SelectBlinds_customers_have_their_cards_skimmed in_malware_attack⠀⇛ In breach notification documents filed in the states of California and Maine, SelectBlinds described how on September 28 2024 it discovered that malware had been present on its website's checkout page since at least January 7 2024. Customer contact details falling into the hands of malicious hackers is bad enough, but the fact that complete payment card details - including card numbers, expiry dates, and CVV security codes - were also taken during the attack is particularly serious. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3212 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 29 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
