One thing I haven't seen mentioned with Crowdstrike is that, although this isn't malicious, a company has just shown off that it has kernel level access to a bunch of critical systems around the world and is willing to just run code with that access on everyone's computers without even giving it a once-over glance.

So if you wanted to get a bunch of backdoors into things because you're a nation state cybersecurity team/hacker group/bored troublemaker who wants to see the world burn/etc they've just shown themselves to be a great firm to do so with.

Oddly enough one of those odd differences I've noticed when working with US companies vs European ones:

A lot of US companies have a 90 day email retention policy, designed to help companies "shred" documents so that eDiscovery requirements for lawsuits are harder (I'm sure there's some valid InfoSec reasons too).

Meanwhile, here's me on a quiet day deleting old emails from 2022 because I finally have time.

This November, you have the power to make Elon Musk waste 180 million dollars.

Abstrahując zupełnie od polityki - ten artykuł pięknie pokazuje, dlaczego wrzucanie czegoś prywatnego do sieci może być zgubne lub narazić nas na śmieszność. Oczywiście, dotyczy to nielicznych sytuacji i głównie osób znanych, ale to też przestroga dla zwykłych użytkowników, aby w miarę możliwości ukrywali przynajmniej część prywatnych informacji nie tylko w opisach, ale też na zdjęciach.

CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed https://www.neowin.net/news/crowdstrike-broke-debian-and-rocky-linux-months-ago-but-no-one-noticed/

Szef holenderskiej ekipy olimpijskiej zdziwiony, że opinia publiczna protestuje przeciwko udziałowi pedofila-gwałciciela w kadrze
"biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że van de Velde od dawna jest aktywnym sportowcem, startował w Pucharze Świata czy mistrzostwach Europy"

This is a big deal. As a member of my family so astutely put it, "insurers and banks are shaping environmental policy for the better, rather than our own governments."

Brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii) captured on the camera-trap on Sydney’s northern fringes.

This is probably my most successful antechinus photo from this location so far. I like the body language.

I want to know why milk crates have two oval holes in each end. The Internet isn't revealing any answers yet

Wczoraj w #OkoPress pisałem o spowodowanej przez #CrowdStrike globalnej katastrofie informatycznej:
https://oko.press/infrastruktura-cyfrowa-krucha-ile-zgonow-bledy-crowdstrike

Opisuję, co się stało (na tyle, na ile wiemy), co mogło złożyć się na taką katastrofalną awarię, i jakie wnioski warto, byśmy z niej wyciągnęli.

Dotknięte są m.in. szpitale. To zagrożenie dla zdrowia pacjentów.

Gdyby to była katastrofa budowlana, spodziewalibyśmy się śledztwa prokuratorskiego i być może zarzutów karnych.

Czas takie awarie zacząć traktować podobnie.

So...anything happening in US politics today??? I have been busily watching the Grazer bear family on Explore. So precious are these littles! OH, and I am totally supporting #KamalaHarris for President. #KatmaiNationalParkAK #GrazerFamily #GrazerCoy #SummerInAlaska

The church next door has three WiFi access points sitting not 10' away from our place. They channel hop constantly jumping over each other so the channels are constantly being trampled on by god knows what.

Today I figured out how to use a pwnagotchi and let's just say, if god wanted them to have a sound system that doesn't cut out every five minutes, he would bless them with a hardwired system.

When their routers have the same signal strength as mine, there is a problem.

I thought about talking to the pastor but him and I have already butted heads and I know for a fact he would try to exploit me for free tech support. Never mind blame me for every issue his dumb sound system has till the end of time.

Who wants the under on the sound system being hardwired by Christmas? I bet they hold out till next summer at least lol.

Make no mistake, if an outage similar to Crowdstrike would have been caused by OpenSource, there would be calls across the entire industry and at the government level to ban OpenSource from critical systems. But since it was caused by billion-dollar publicly-traded companies, nothing to see here, move-on.

Does anyone have a digital copy of ANSI/CGA G-13 Storage and Handling of Silane that I can use? I just need to read and reference it, but do not have $214 to pay CGA for access.
