NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps

New EU rules mean WhatsApp and Messenger must be interoperable with other chat apps. Here’s how that will work.

#Bluesky continues to be entirely non-responsive to the numerous security vulnerabilities I've reported to them, so I spent the evening writing up a nice README and a framework with exploit modules, and just made it all public.

Have fun.

If companies like #Microsoft keep sending out emails with big login buttons in them, how do they expect people to learn not to click buttons and links in #phishing emails. Corporate marketing people need to be fired for sending emails like this. Period. No second chances. Send a link in an email, lose your job. Immediately.

I've always questioned how much more secure this is than emailing files, for outbound documents. It limits the opportunity window of an attacker when the first document is sent, rather than the file sitting on various mail servers. But if an attacker can intercept the email, then that attacker can sign in to Nextcloud and access the file. Ideally, you would do some sort of identity proofing or non-email communication of initial credentials before exchanging files.

#Intel Deploys Undisclosed #Microcode Security Update For CPUs Going Back To Coffee Lake (2017 launched CPUs)

Intel released CPU microcode updates for processors all the way back to Coffee Lake on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, the changelog doesn't delve into details other than that the new microcode fixes an undisclosed security issue.

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.

Excellent story on Wired about Telegram's problems with supposedly being "private" and secure, and how Russia is exploiting it https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat/

IMO Telegram should be treated like Facebook: if you're registered there, don't leave any details, configure all chats to self-delete (especially non-private ones), and FFS do not use it for group chats, whether they're open or closed, as they're not encrypted at all.

New #blog: Autodetecting and Announcing #Mastodon Scrapers and Crawlers

There've been quite a few #fedisearch issues recently, but the common thread is that there's usually a gap in reporting - they're often live for weeks before people are made aware.

It's not just people's pet projects either, there are other #scrapers active, quietly consuming posts

So, I built a bot to detect and out them so that fedi admins can block as necessary

In the unlikely event that the #FTC bans #noncompete clauses, the #infosec industry is going to go bonkers.

This legal tactic is used constantly to scare people into not leaving to escape toxic work environments, find better pay or get better benefits (be it flexible hours, remote work, health care, retirement contributions, paid time off, etc.).

I hope they decide to do it.
