Among the 1,500 developer comments Flock forgot to strip from its code is a reference to a secret “Easter egg” they built for cops: press F + S and a flock of birds flies across the screen Here’s what the bird button looks like

You don't know how it feels when you've spent a decade taking to a void about serious threats to faltering water ICS security and the news finally breaks and the headlines are "vulnerable PLCs can be hacked". I'm just wrecked.

I changed python app code, FROM: `print("Loading..")` TO: `print("✨️ Thinking..")` The app is now Agentic AI, i think. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Where is my money now?

New: Trump is engaging in a process of selective declassification that includes withholding key intelligence from public view despite congressional requirements—even as he boasts of his transparency efforts on revealing election security threats. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...

The Steam Deck LCD panel is available cheap (ca $30), but until now there hasn't been a way to use it with a Raspberry Pi. Luckily, the folks at Scandent open sourced a HAT design and kernel driver for it! See it in action in today's L2J video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pdZ...

When Android was unveiled in Nov 2007, few predicted how drastically it would reshape global computing. Built on the Linux kernel, Android brought open source principles out of server rooms and into the hands of billions. Today, Linux powers over 80% of all smartphones. bit.ly/4gl1GQH #Linux35

I get Ground News sponsorship offers occasionally (though haven't taken any). Recently a few creator friends have asked what I think about them (seems like another big marketing push going on?). 🧵

another day, another dongle/windows bullshit ruining the perfection that is packet capture in wireshark for me

I want to buy this person a beer.

Elon Musk is gearing back up to spend big on the midterms. First stop? Texas. scoop from @hugolowell.bsky.social

Is this broadband DEI?

NEW: Someone tried to hack cybersecurity researchers inviting them to a fake cryptocurrency conference. The hacker used a real Google Doc, and a legitimate Google platform that allows developers to customize the user interface of documents, to try to trick targets into downloading malware.

I love the use of the word "suspect" in this headline. Yeah, a real head-scratcher.

people what are we doing here?? Josh is such a rare and valuable talent, especially In These Times. We need his work now more than ever bsky.app/profile/josh...

Remote code vulnerability found in Unitree robots and the scary part is that the exploit is wormable. One compromised robot could infect other vulnerable robots nearby. Could attackers then take control of entire fleets of humanoid robots? boschko.ca/unitree-go2-...

My comment in @reuters.com on a “test” of AI that crossed a remarkable line. AI agent attempted a real software supply-chain attack, then used deception against a developer who caught it. This crossed the line from autonomous hacking to interactive deception. www.reuters.com/world/how-te...

In today's episode of Breach Please, me and @secitup.bsky.social talk about who is accountable when an agent violates the CFAA. The 9th Circuit said it isn't the agent's publisher. While they don't say explicitly who, we think it's the user. What say you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uLt...

We are optimizing the part of our work that takes the least amount of time. The invisible part that takes the most time, is still done by humans. In addition we pay for getting the easy part done. Creating code, emails, documentation, presentations, answer customer queries is the easy part. #ai #llm

I'm confident saying Paul Nakasone is the most beloved and respected (and least disgraced) former NSA/Cyber Command director in modern history. And....man is he milking that.

New, by me: Tech giant Alation, which allows large companies to search for their files and data across datasets, has confirmed that an incident on Tuesday was a cyberattack Alation said it was investigating the unauthorized access to its systems. Ad-block bypass: web.archive.org/web/20260820...

OWASP Cornucopia just released v3.4.6 (github.com/OWASP/cornuc...) A Special thanks to Khushal Malhotra, Prajakta G. kamble, Ayman Algamal, Abhijit Sahoo and Adarsh Kumar for all the bug fixes. Cornucopia is now more secure and stable than ever! #games #threatmodeling #cornucopia #appsec #security

This sounds like such a cool vulnerability. Who wouldn't want to try to "issue arbitrary instrument and spacecraft commands via POST /cmd". #space #security #apppsec

I just made chickpea pasta with garlic, kale, chipotle mayo, and parmigiano. Not bad. Not bad at all. I recommend it. Hopefully I don't get my Italian passport revoked.
