🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.
US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:
🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'
The Home Office must back off ✋

It couldn't be clearer: Encryption is online safety.
It keeps our data secure from hackers. Our systems secure from global bad actors. Our rights secure from State oppression in a digitalised society.

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
Major privacy alert for Android users.
Anyway, a throwback for anyone wanting a little more.
These guys have been sending bomb threats to the Japanese government impersonating as KuronekoServer developers before the attack went big. #spam#infrastructure#fediblockmeta#cybersec#cybersecurity#infosec#spam#infrastructure#fediblockmeta#cybersec#cybersecurity#infosec
RE: Kuroneko incident
#fediadmins are advised to temporarily disable sign-ups for now, or implement some anti-spam measure to limit signups to not get spammed.
Currently they are targeting #misskey and #mastodon, but other #activitypub servers may soon be targeted.
More details will be posted soon. Stay tuned. #fediblock#fediadmin#fedadmins#mastodadmin#misskeyadmin#cybersecurity#spam
