93 percent of British adults believe they have a right to private conversations online, while 89 percent think nobody should be able to access their personal messages without a court order. Two things stick out, concern that ‘back doors’ will leave them open to being compromised by bad actors (other than gornment) and a majority (across the political spectrum) do not trust the current or any future government.

If this sale goes through, I for one will move all my banking and investments to a bank not involved with this. #Canada needs to become less entangled with US ownership. The timing of this is very concerning. Do read this article. If you also will move your accounts, be public about it.
What will you do?

"Socket ha scoperto 77 estensioni Firefox legate alla campagna Offside Wallet Theft Factory: 40 contenevano codice malevolo capace di rubare seed phrase, chiavi private, password e dati dei wallet crypto.

Socket Threat Researchers uncovered a 77-extension Firefox campaign.

40 steal wallet secrets and credentials. Another 37 posed as unrelated tools but displayed sports scores. Nine began as score apps before later updates turned them into wallet malware.

In the face of cyber attacks & prospects of climate change driven severe weather events, the UK looks to be getting a C21st version of the (infamous) Protect & Survive booklet...

But its going to be more tinned food & bottled water, rather than diving under a table or avoid looking at the blast.

Unlike many countries the UK is late to this game (the usual British complacency?) ;many European countries already have disaster plans in place & citizens' advice enacted.

How does a prompt injection become a worm? En Klype Salt reports that instructions hidden in white text in a Word file survive a Copilot for Word session. Copilot follows them without saying so and copies them into the document it drafts, which then infects the next session. It spreads only when people reuse each other's documents, slower than a self-moving worm and harder to spot, since every step looks like ordinary work.

I think #OpenBSD has one of the easiest methods to update (important) system updates. Just run syspatch and reboot.

Simplicity has many benefits and I think OpenBSD is one that clearly shows this.

Rumours are starting to emerge from Iran that if the Tangerine Tyrant continues to escalate the conflict (in Iran's eyes) then they are considering hitting US assets in SE Europe....

but as you can see from the diagram below the Iranians look to have the capacity to reach much further into Europe should they wish.

I'm not sure we should be conducting air raid drills quiet yet, but this offers a potentially major shift in European security. So, how will this play out?
