Ukrainian accounts complained about this last Oct. They had accounts banned hours after countering Russian/MAGA lies.

In the meantime, Kremlin accounts posting death threats against Ukrainian, including pictures of kids, are still live.

Something definitely happened to Twitter at the end of 2024
I really appreciate news stories that take a phenomenon we all generally implicitly understand or assume but don't have any hard data or evidence for, then meticulously prove it. Well done @stuartathompson.bsky.social.

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.
This might be the best executed supply chain attack we've seen described in the open, and it's a nightmare scenario: malicious, competent, authorized upstream in a widely used library.

Looks like this got caught by chance. Wonder how long it would have taken otherwise.
Woah. Backdoor in liblzma targeting ssh servers.

www.openwall.com/lists/oss-se...

It has everything: malicious upstream, masterful obfuscation, detection due to performance degradation, inclusion in OpenSSH via distro patches for systemd support…

Now I’m curious what it does in RSA_public_decrypt

This is me reminding you that taking a second to leave a quick 👍 on your favorite indie games on Steam is HUGE if you want to support independent games.

Steam promotes games based on their ratio of 👍 to 👎, so good reviews sell games.

The review buttons is on each game's Library page in Steam.
