A proposito di questo titolo

 Host Unknown is the unholy alliance of the old, the new and the rockstars of the infosec industry in an internet-based show that tries to care about issues in our industry. It regularly fails. With presenters that have an inflated opinion of their own worth and a production team with a pathological dislike of them (or “meat puppets” as it often refers to them), it is with a combination of luck and utter lack of good judgement that a show is ever produced and released. Host Unknown is available for sponsorship, conferences, other web shows or indeed anything that pays a little bit of money to keep the debt collectors away.

    1. 5th November 1993: Bugtraq was created by Scott Chasin as a full disclosure vulnerability reporting mailing list at the dawn of the World Wide Web. Bugtraq had an enormous influence on how orgs responded to vuln disclosure and paved the way for a shift which led to bug bounty programs.

    1. 24th October 2002: The worm-like Friendgreet propagated by emailing all Outlook contacts from each computer where it was installed. But THERE WAS A TWIST!

    The software presented a EULA stating it would do that!

    They gave fair warning, right!?

    (EULA = End User License Agreement)

    CyberSlop — meet the new threat actor, MIT and Safe Security

    Cybersecurity vendors peddling nonsense isn’t new, but lately we have a new dimension — Generative AI. This has allowed vendors — and educators — to peddle cyberslop for profit.

    Earlier this year, MIT released a working paper and made a webpage around 80% of ransomware attacks using Generative AI

    Those to be caned will include syndicate members and recruiters, and those who help them, such as money mules who provide their bank accounts, SIM cards or Singpass credentials.

    These mules will face discretionary caning of up to 12 strokes.
