"Citizens of Indonesia, we apologize for the fact that it affected everyone," the team wrote in a statement shared by Singapore-based dark web intelligence outfit Stealth Mole.

In the statement, Brain Cipher detailed that it was releasing the decryptor of its own accord, without prodding by law enforcement or other agencies. It did, however, ask for public gratitude for its magnanimous behavior – and even provided an account at which it could receive donations. Good luck with that.

The whole Trump presidency was filled with Trump abusing vague powers because when it was written, they assumed that the president wasn't a asshole.

This new law plus Trump is a cluster fuck.

My bidet does not shoot at my whole ass. It only laser focuses on certain parts, which I dry with toilet paper.

Nah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there's too much stupid red tape.

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

And also

It also doesn't help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they're already inside.

I dunno. Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.

Both sides.

I constantly call out juniors who do things like ignore warnings, completely unaware that the warning is going to cause serious tech debt in a few months.

But Ive also unfortunately shrugged after seeing hundreds of warnings because to update this requires me to go through 3 layers of departments and we're still waiting on these six other blockers.

Pick and choose I guess.

Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.

If you ever work tech support even at a basic level, you'll see. It's not even boomers or genZ. I helped a grown ass human who was my age at 40yo how to install a Firefox extension.

 

Not mine but this is actually what I did too.

I said I plan to charge back on my credit card. They threatened that if I did that, they can't promise my account wouldnt be flagged.

I said "bet" and they removed the cancellation fee and cancelled the service.

 

404 Media noted that Google accidentally collected childrens’ voice data through the Gboard microphone, leaked carpool users’ trips and home addresses (Waze), collected license plate info from Street View, and made YouTube recommendations derived from deleted watch history.

In one case, a Google contractor was responsible for leaking an early look video of one of Nintendo’s games, Yoshi’s Crafted World, in 2017. In another incident, a person could modify customer accounts on AdWords and thus manipulate affiliate tracking codes for ads.
