State of (in)security - Week 27, 2025

The week of June 30 - July 7, 2025 had 11 vulnerability advisories and 14 security incidents affecting approximately 6.7 million individuals, dominated by the Qantas Airways cyberattack potentially impacting up to 6 million customers and a suspected ransomware attack causing global outages at IT distributor Ingram Micro. The week featured critical vulnerabilities in enterprise systems including Cisco's Unified Communications Manager with hardcoded credentials, HIKVISION security platforms, and Bluetooth devices enabling remote eavesdropping.

**This week malware code was reported to have a vulnerability that can be exploited against the owners of the malware. Obviously, we don't really care if the criminals patch their software. But this is a prime example that all software can be flawed, and that input validation IS ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA.**

Here's the disconnect between #science / #physics (via #math) and #philosophy (via #language / #linguistiics): which one is more definitive, more assertive, more confident? #Reality is reality, but the ways in which we communicate it are crucial to #knowledge.

Die Race Conditions im Wissensmanagement findet man nicht nur bei KI-Nutzern.

"Bei der Analyse ist herausgekommen, dass mehr als jede dritte Seite problematisch sein soll. Mindestens 20 Prozent der Einträge enthielten demnach Informationen, "die nicht mehr aktuell sind". Nur bei der Hälfte davon steche dies Nutzern sofort ins Auge."

Every single one of them is an activated digital terrorist cell deliberately corrupting the human knowledge base. People are being made more stupid by techbro enemies with too damn much money and twisted fascist dreams.

Knowledge is power. They've been draining us of our wealth. Now they are draining us of our knowledge, and with that, our abilities.

“ #Knowledge of #reality does not therefore lie in the #subject, nor on the #object, but in the dynamic flow between them.” - #DavidBohm and #FDavidPeat, #Science, Order and #Creativity: A Dramatic Look at the Roots of Science and Life

@msbellows collections have their origins in this accessibility of media and #knowledge outside the realms of the rich and the aristocracy. It was a time of curiosity and the emergence of #naturalists. And thanks to the widespread availability of media, these topics were now accessible to #women.

One of these famous female naturalists was Anna Atkins with her groundbreaking #Cyanotypes in 1843 https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/anna-atkins-cyanotypes/ - still important for #biodiversity research.

The real #critique should not focus only on #capital or the #state, but on the very matrix of #modernity / #coloniality itself, as #Escobar, #Lugones, #Mbembe, and #Mignolo argue. Only at this level can we hope for true #decolonization of #knowledge, #institutions, and #subjectivities.

Lovely to give the keynote 'On Epistemic Humility: storytelling, positionalities, and just survival in/through research', for the Higher Degree Research Forum, University of South Australia.

I draw on post-colonial, Black, and Indigenous scholarship to problematise what we know and how we know.

@hosford42 @davevolek @RebeccaSolnit Yes, and I could now answer #Jameson's question: why is it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of #capitalism ?
Because: the ease of obeying (#Weil), the #proletarianization of #knowledge (#Stiegler), and the #fear of #freedom (#Fromm) form the vicious circle of individual #atomization (#Arendt), the "catastrophic normality" that #Solnit and #Fritz talk about... Bring on the #catastrophe?

State of (in)security - Week 26, 2025

The week of June 23-30, 2025 saw 16 vulnerability advisories and 14 security incidents affecting approximately 7.4 million individuals, dominated by Paraguay's catastrophic data breach where hacktivists leaked personal information of the entire population (7.4 million citizens) and active exploitation of critical Citrix NetScaler vulnerabilities dubbed "Citrix Bleed 2."

**Infostealers are a nightmare, especially if they stumble on a computer with system accounts. Suddenly the entire country's data can be at risk. Work both on technical prevention and on very diligent awareness of people to persuade them not to be optimists and download crap, click on links and save passwords in browsers.**
