This is a good write up on the massive amount of #cybersecurity changes that happened in the US in 2025 under the new administration. My take away? The US doesn't deserve the hold the reigns of anything remotely related to cybersecurity at this point. krebsonsecurity.com/2025/12/dism...

A reminder to mandate strong passwords on anything that's Internet accessible. Bad actors can easily attempt millions of passwords in a matter of hours. #cybersecurity www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...
New password spraying attacks target Cisco, PAN VPN gateways
An automated campaign is targeting multiple VPN platforms, with credential-based attacks being observed on Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect and Cisco SSL VPN.

I think this is a very good and timely video. It shows how even a modern and civilized society can be turned into an authoritarian hellscape with people simply getting used to it, the world moving on. This could be New York, Portland or Chicago in a very short time. #privacy youtu.be/s80wVezQ95Y?...

This is from an official AWS webinar. I understand that it's a demo, but people are dumb and they will copy/paste code all day long. No one should ever do something like this, especially in a demo. Use os.environ['TOKEN'] instead and don't have tokens in your code. #cybersecurity #aws

The downside of using popular frameworks, when a severe vulnerability is found, a lot of people are impacted. And this one seems pretty widespread. #cybersecurity www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...
Critical React, Next.js flaw lets hackers execute code on servers
A maximum severity vulnerability, dubbed 'React2Shell', in the React Server Components (RSC) 'Flight' protocol allows remote code execution without authentication in React and Next.js applications.

It's December. The month of giving. The world is a crazy place, especially in 2025, and a lot of powerful people are actively working against the public good. But a lot of projects are working against the tide, many of which depend on community support, like the Internet Archive. archive.org/donate

Too many people don't understand that those 2 statements can both be true:

AI is a great tool that improves productivity for a lot of people.

AI is in a huge bubble and being overhyped, and we don't need it to be crammed into every product under the sun.
