Wow. La commission européenne fournit des burner phones à ses agents en déplacement aux États-Unis par crainte d'espionnage, comme c'est le cas en Chine ou en Ukraine. "L'union transatlantique est terminée", déclare un haut-fonctionnaire cité par le Financial Times. Cela en dit long sur la dégradation catastrophique des relations avec la première puissance mondiale https://www.ft.com/content/20d0678a-41b2-468d-ac10-14ce1eae357b

This is not upbeat, but everyone in tech should watch it. If you build technology products, make websites, collect data, or interrogate to it, this should be required viewing.

#Business: former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz started a company with the man behind the infamous Pegasus spyware, Shalev Hulio.

The Israeli entrepreneur Shalev Hulio gained notoriety for designing Pegasus, a spyware that has been used by governments to hack journalists and dissidents. Today, he is selling an AI cyber security tool to European states and corporations.

"Follow the Money" found that at least a dozen employees at Dream Security had worked for Hulio’s former spyware company NSO and other Israeli spyware firms.

I suppose USian and Australian cyber people are about to have to choose sides, more publically than before.

It's been such a different scene, with the cops and hackers all together, than something like CCC in Germany.

But I don't see a way to ignore that building surveillance tech, even for "the good guys", isn't in any way justifiable now.

There was never a way to build "safe" or "fair" surveillance, but so many people made themselves feel ok about it by saying it was to save kids, or it would have rule of law around it.

That was never true, but now you can't pretend, either.

If you don't want to be a Nazi, stop doing Nazi shit.

Stupeur au pays du gouda, le chef de l’armée des Pays-Bas appelle son personnel à se préparer "aussi vite que possible", avec des consignes claires en cas de conflit ou de participation à une force de paix en Ukraine: utilisation "responsable" des téléphones et des applications, mise en garde contre les actes cyber. "La Russie teste notre organisation. La menace s’accroît", écrit le général. https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/04/11/le-chef-de-l-armee-des-pays-bas-surprend-en-appelant-son-personnel-a-se-preparer-aussi-vite-que-possible_6594183_3210.html

I put on Zero Day, and oh no it's a Y2K movie for 2025. l33t h4xx0rz crash trains (which still exist?), infect phones, but TV still works just fine. They somehow get video from peoples' phones during accidents, during which the phones are dead‽

OLD MAN ex-President is the only one who can cope! Wolf Blitzer plays himself, an actor faking being a news anchor like always.

This sets a new low bar for stupid cyber shit.
