Meanwhile: #X #Rumble

MAGA-influencers on X have called for a boycott of Dunkin' Donuts after the chief executive of the video platform Rumble alleged that the fast-food chain declined to advertise with it because "the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing."

Rumble is joining Musk's company, X, in suing a group of advertisers over allegations that they withheld business from the social media firms because of the right-wing content hosted on their platforms.

@process yeah many a labour leader when taking No.10 has said similar things with little to nothing actually happening to improve anything

We'll see indeed - time will tell the truth

#X #Politics

Tonight, Musk will take things to a new level. According to Trump, he will be "DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH MUSK" on Monday night.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112916482094082129

The conversation will happen on X. The Trump campaign is billing it as "THE INTERVIEW OF THE CENTURY."

Musk is not interviewing Trump. He is using his $44 billion purchase of Twitter to create the most expensive political ad of all time.

@process as soon as news outlets started to quote tweets in news articles and on live TV news twitter was doomed

Then all the politicians started joining cause they knew it would give then free publicity and get their opinions seen

I mind seeing the 1st BBC live news channel using a tweet in one news story that was breaking I knew then twitter was fuck't and sure as shit here we are

Politicians shouldn't be on social media end of it should be a rule of having that job

Exclusive: Massive Criminal Online Platform Disrupted

The FBI hacked a large online hacker forum, arrested administrator in Florida

The push for this treaty began in October 2017 when Russia drafted and submitted a proposal for international cooperation in combating cybercrime

¯\(°_o)/¯

I mean, talk about ironic

From the outset, the committee faced widespread disagreement over the treaty's wording, with countries like China pushing to include provisions against "spreading false information" as a cybercrime - ongoing disagreements led to compromises in the treaty's language, resulting in vague and broad descriptions

crux of their argument is clear: the current language is insufficient and does not successfully balance the need for increased security with individual data privacy.

According to one article

https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/8vp1kxh5f

Chinese and Russian input influenced the inclusion of broad language, which makes sense given both governments’ consistent position that cybercrime extends beyond just conventional hacking, malware distribution, or theft of money or data, and includes the potential harms that information could cause.

Recent reporting reveals that the United Nations (UN) will soon hold their final negotiation meeting on its new Cybercrime Treaty - The treaty is a much-needed update to the European-led Budapest Convention on Cybercrime

https://www.coe.int/en/web/cybercrime/the-budapest-convention

the original framework that has been in place since 2001 and has served as the first meaningful international treaty addressing Internet and cybercrime

@InvaderGzim 🤔 interesting, never heard of that before, may the little red threads guide us 😉

I like that theory that something guides us to meet similar minded people - it might take time but eventually people will meet

Happy Monday

Its called "sinkclose" by researchers and some media & "sinkhole" by some media

AMD has released a list of all affected processors

'You basically have to throw your computer away': Researchers explain AMD 'Sinkclose' vulnerability, but do you need to worry?

https://www.laptopmag.com/software/antivirus-cyber-security/an-amd-firmware-flaw-could-give-hackers-deep-control-of-your-pc

This operating mode allows close access to the hardware, and it’s where you’ll find firmware running for power management settings, for example

With such deep access, Wired reports that the malware can dig down so deep that it’s easier to discard an infected computer rather than repair it.

Make no mistake, Sinkhole is a major security flaw. However, it’s not an exploit the vast majority of users need to worry about.

Sinkhole, which was discovered by researchers at IOActive, allows attackers to run code in System Management Mode.

#CoSoSec

Hundreds of millions of AMD CPUs are facing a new vulnerability called Sinkhole. The exploit, which was first reported by Wired, impacts processors dating back to 2006

https://www.wired.com/story/amd-chip-sinkclose-flaw/

Despite Sinkhole hitting some of AMD’s best processors, only the most recent batch of chips will receive a patch

AMD isn’t patching Ryzen 1000, 2000, or 3000 processors, nor is it patching Threadripper 1000 and 2000 CPUs, reports Tom’s Hardware.
