My guess: turn failing big companies into failing little ones.

Looks like someone tried to archive an archived page. You can see https://web.archive.org/...
is listed twice in the url. I just trimmed off the first one then it works: https://web.archive.org/web/20240229113710/https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/issues/2834
There’s one good news. Reddit didn’t want to pay to move all the old DMs to the new chat infrastructure. So they deleted them.
At this point I wouldn’t trust Reddit to actually delete posts. Just hide them then sell them as training data if the upvotes are decent.
Tom’s Guide has shit reporting. This was the same site that repeated the bogus DDoS smart toothbrushes story. And they’re at it again with more sensationalism.
From something more reputable:
The use of the victims’ faces for bank fraud is an assumption by Group-IB, also corroborated by the Thai police, based on the fact that many financial institutes added biometric checks last year for transactions above a certain amount.
It is essential to clarify that while GoldPickaxe can steal images from iOS and Android phones showing the victim’s face and trick the users into disclosing their face on video through social engineering, the malware does not hijack Face ID data or exploit any vulnerability on the two mobile OSes.
More from bleeping computer:
A new iOS and Android trojan named ‘GoldPickaxe’ employs a social engineering scheme to trick victims into scanning their faces and ID documents, which are believed to be used to generate deepfakes for unauthorized banking access.
Now, don’t get me wrong, you should take malware and social engineering attacks seriously. But get your information from sites that do real security journalism.
A few months back Ruud stood up a copy: https://searxng.world/
I’ve been using it, and it tends to be as good as or better than google’s search. There’s only been a handful of instances where I’ve explicitly used google’s.
The Naz.API leak that was given to Troy Hunt is different from this leak. That’s also an aggregation, but smaller in size. What Troy has is probably more significant since about 1/3 of that is newly discovered. Right now, no one has published an analysis of the unique accounts in this larger aggregation.
It’s an aggregation of previous leaks. Malicious actors having all that information together is a big deal in and of itself, but it’s not the"mother of all breaches" some publications are trying to make it be.
Found the article where the screenshot came from, and wow it’s even more infuriating! The VideoLAN folks tried to work with them for months, and Unity seems to have cranial rectal inversion.
I completely forgot about that term. That may be more accurate. In fact, it describes what has Windows has become.
Neat, TIL of another app. Unfortunately, it looks like development has been abandoned. The last update was from 13 years ago.
I like Cory Doctorow. I think his theory of enshittification is useful, but I find his definition flawed.
I still give credit to Cory for being an acute observer and coming up with a useful theory.
You know what’s free (as in beer and speech) and not being enshittified? Notepad++
Musk must have a fetish for having government regulators up his ass. The FTC is already up there to where he screams like a pig. Now add banking-but-not-a-bank and they’re going to be up there even further.
It won’t go obsolete per se. It will just have lots of security vulnerabilities after they stop patching the 10,000,000+ lines of code used in all the microcontrollers and microprocessor.
At the company’s global Conversations event in Mumbai, WhatsApp introduced an in-app shopping feature for merchants and customers. Dubbed ”Flows,” […]
That name sounds more like a feminine hygiene product than a shopping platform.
Yikes! That was a privacy nightmare. We were fortunate that the university assigned a personal ID on enrollment. I think the only place that had access to the social was the front office. Of course some of the students worked at the front office. I hope they were required to sign an NDA.
I went to college before it was app everything and our student id’s were smartcards. Dining plan associated with the smartcard. Just stick it in the reader when you show up and you’re good. You could put cash on your card then use it for the vending machines or laundry or any little incidental on campus. If you needed cashed added to your account, your parents could go online and do it, or you could. That was the only online component. The entire system just worked without any fuss or privacy concerns or anything.
And just like Taco Bell when something goes bad you get to deal with all the diarrhea.
But seriously, shouldn’t this be in [email protected] and not technology?
