LastPass breached again. Today. Via a third-party supplier.

This is not a one-off. It’s the architecture. Every centralized service, password manager, messenger, or platform is a target because it holds data worth stealing.

SecurityWeek’s headline today: “Attackers are no longer breaking in ; they’re logging in.”

No account means nothing to log into.

Zerion 2.0.5 is live on Google Play.

A serverless messenger has a hard problem: no server holds your account, so how do you move to a new phone?

Zerion's answer: back up your whole account to an encrypted file (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM), or pass it straight to your new phone over Tor with a safety-number check. Only you ever hold the key.

No phone number. No metadata. Post-quantum encryption on every message, all over Tor.

Canada’s Bill C-22 is advancing toward a vote with provisions for metadata retention, expanded data sharing, and government-mandated encryption backdoors. 🔒
Signal, Apple, Google, and VPN providers oppose the bill, warning it could limit features or services and weaken private communications. ⚖️

Most people don't know Google has a free tool to remove your home address, phone number, and email from Search results. It's called Results About You (myaccount.google.com/results-about-you). It monitors for new matches and lets you request removal with one click. #privacy #Google #databrokers #infosec #indigoprivacy

hey so. looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years experience administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately, all those 15 years were mostly personal projects and small-scale stuff for friends. I'm also 26, so I started when I was 11, explaining the no jobs so far. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net. Three machines, 72 docker containers. One running most of them, one running Mastodon+glitchsocial, one running the uptime monitor. encrypted root on ZFS, alpine linux, gVisor on supported containers, plan to move to Kata. Entirely willing to accept entry-level job placements, no expectation of being paid a lot or anything, just want to be doing something and move the needle a little on my current "being broke" status. Currently using gVisor, docker compose, and kata containers in production, experience with Linux, docker, Net/Open/FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Mikrotik and UniFi, configuring and administering Asterisk, plus extensive experience with IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps #GetFediHired

Someone mentioned in passing during a meeting in work today that "going passwordless is inevitable" and that using biometrics and facial scanning to sign in to accounts will be necessary.

I work in the data protection office (the GDPR kind), so I'm begging please someone tell me this is not true.. 😩
