That doesn’t answer the question.

This is barely an article. What is Open-source malware? Are they talking about libraries that look legit but contain malware? Typo-squatting? Supply chain attacks? Compromised repositories of legit projects? Or is this actually malware that is released as open-source software so that bad actors can enjoy the freedoms of FOSS?

What’s mandos? I don’t find anything useful when searching for it.

I don’t know if it’s still relevant, but I used to use Synergy to do this.

This is a horrible decision.

ATT … penalised smaller publishers in particular since, unlike the main vertically integrated platforms, they depend to a large extent on third-party data collection to finance their business

Cry me a fucking river.

Here is my actual autocomplete (first suggestion for each word):

The diagnosis is that the patient is a member of the family and has been in the hospital for a long time and has been treated for a long period of time and has had a very bad reaction to the medication and has been given a good doctor to treat the patient for a long term condition that is not a good idea to be honest with you.

SMS messages are not encrypted. Theoretically, this allows telecommunications providers to scan for and blacklist spam campaigns at the network level, if they make enough noise. On the other hand, messages sent via RCS or iMessage are encrypted end-to-end. Although an iMessage will route directly through an Apple server, Apple itself cannot read the content in transit. Lucid takes advantage of this by sending phishing texts via iMessage and RCS, turning this otherwise positive security feature on its head.

That’s it. That’s the “fault” that is being “exploited” that they mention multiple times in the lead-in to the article.

I personally know of two different banks who send a notification to your phone app to verify that it’s you they are speaking with on the phone, and they will do this even when it’s them that called you and not the other way around.

It’s security theater as it doesn’t prove anything to either party (as it’s trivial for scammers to have a man-in-the-middle) but they still do it.

I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as “go-dot.” I will never be able to unhear this.

I’ve always said “god-oh” with a silent ‘t’ like in “Brigitte Bardot”.

They’ve pissed so many billions of dollars into quantum computing, at least they’re using it for something.

Did anyone tell them that you can use the noise in a semiconductor junction to produce truly random numbers too? You can buy one for a few pennies.
