Trump turns the GOP’s Ramaswamy ad headache into a migraine | CNN Politics

He said twice that he knew “nothing about” the backstory between Acton and her mother, but he argued that the mother had to be taken “seriously” regardless.

Guys I’m starting to wonder if this trump fellow is some kind of deranged sociopathic rapist, hell-bent on corruption and the utter destruction of all of America’s resources.

But then Kamala didn’t promise free healthcare, so I guess it works out.

Wall Street Is Getting Very Nervous About AI

Reply in thread

The proposed solution emailed out: QA obviously is a problem getting in the way of the slop the customers clearly want to pay for, so we should consider skipping QA and working with the customers instead to fix it.

Narrator: the people who agreed to this never interacted with a single customer.

AI: EU Member States approve “digital expropriation” for AI companies

the Council (representing EU Member States) on Wednesday approved that companies should generally be permitted to do basically anything when using personal data "in the context of AI". This means that the commercial interests of AI companies would generally trump the fundamental rights of users. This general allowance would also apply to people who have never been customers of an AI company and to data entered decades ago, for example in chats or on social media. All personal data that an AI company can somehow get its hands on would fall under the provision.

333 Tor exit nodes hijacked to intercept SSH traffic and retrieve plaintext email

The volunteer investigated further and found that when people ignored the warning, the attacker (1) stole the SSH password, (2) opened a connection to the server and observed all typed commands, and (3) opened a second connection and infected the server with Ebury.

To investigate the campaign, Kaba created a script that polled all of Tor’s roughly 3,000 exit nodes to check whether they received a correct SSH fingerprint from a test server. The test server then checked whether the connection came from a pinned exit node or one of 12 SSH interception servers used by the attacker. The volunteer further set up a honeypot to observe the interception software attempting to log in and install Ebury.

. . . The takeaway from the event is the crucial role in-depth defense plays in preventing data theft in mass hacks like this one. Those measures include configuring email accounts to accept only encrypted traffic and reject unencrypted ports. Another is to disable password authentication in favor of SSH keys.
