Wrote a thing with some friends. Thanks to @warontherocks.bsky.social for the opportunity to pass these ideas to you all. warontherocks.com/2026/03/five...

This isn't just damage to the U.S. This overturns centuries of global free trade and commercial economic assumptions. It's much bigger than the problems it will cause for the U.S.

This is even worse than you think because China wants to do this with the Taiwan Strait which would give them control over a lot more of the global economy than SoH. This will give them a precedent.

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) has a new electronic warfare jet, the Kawasaki EC-2, which has gained some notoriety around the world for its ungainly appearance

If its self-hosted Jira (e.g. in Azure virtual server) and you can get access to script runner (code execution) feature you may be able to find some Azure Instance Metadata Service token. If its saas Jira, script runner sandboxing is going to make this moot.

Are you there? @sekoia_io I left you a message on X—have you seen it? Why can’t I access your company’s website all of a sudden? What’s going on? @sekoia_io

“Joint exploration” sounds cooperative. But Legally, it’s a minefield. Does anyone know the laws in the Philippines? Could you explain the legal basis? What conditions must both parties meet?

Yesterday, they were chatting in the X podcast chat room and came up with a few points I didn’t say a word. I tend to side with those who listen That’s why they won’t let me speak

Last month, the lawyer I hired successfully helped me win my case. Beyond the legal fees I owe her, I’m considering offering a small token of appreciation. I plan to give her a fountain pen and a bottle of perfume to express my gratitude for her professionalism and dedication.

Anti-immigrant policies, which allow populists to vent their dissatisfaction on easy targets, are appealing to more Japanese as they struggle with dwindling salaries, rising prices and bleak future outlooks. Not great

So the U.S. won’t even call a Taiwan crisis “existential” for Japan… …but RAND is already scripting Japan as the opening act in a naval war? At this point it sounds less like policy analysis and more like a rejected Hollywood screenplay titled: “Allies Step Up (So We Don’t Have To).”

You took a long-term geopolitical decision and judged it on short-term transactional returns. Baby— that’s category error.”

yeah this one's not great, tbh. litellm is pretty core infrastructure. I wouldn't call the actual payload here overly clever, it's a vacuum (though the kubernetes replication bit is cute), but a lot of the people maintaining this infra at companies do not necessarily know what time it is

Android devices ship with firmware-level malware Keenadu malware gives an attacker control over a device but appears to be used primarily to facilitate ad fraud

Responsible AI isn’t just about what you intend to run. It’s about being able to prove what actually ran when something goes wrong and most systems aren’t designed for that.

Threat actors are increasingly targeting the AI and developer supply chain.

Rather than refuting my argument, Senator Woo has chosen to misrepresent it and question my intent. I came across an article today—Canadian Senator's Advocacy Group Classified as Chinese Communist Party United Front-Linked—The senator referred to here is Senator Woo. I kind of feel like laughing.

People inside the Chinese Embassy are likely having nightmares

*Wouldn’t sell out Taiwan.* True, because you can’t sell what you’ve already appraised at a discount. Telling Taipei to “restrain itself” while Beijing keeps the loaded gun on the table is like telling the hostage not to provoke the kidnapper.

The author argues that Japan cannot simultaneously: 1/Uphold Article 9 (pacifism / no war capability) 2/And reject being seen as dependent on (or “subservient to”) the United States Their claim: these two positions are fundamentally incompatible

乙4受かった人、甲種やったら何点取れると思いますか？ これ、気になりませんか。 そこで、少し自分で試してみることにしました。 条件はシンプルです。 危険物乙4を「肢単位で○×切れるレベル」まで仕上げた直後に、 甲種（公論出版）を初見で解きます。 いわば、 「乙4完成状態 → そのまま甲種にぶつける」とどうなるかの検証です。 感覚ではなく、実測で出します。 3月22日に乙4を受験し、その帰りに本屋で 『甲種危険物取扱者試験 令和8年版（公論出版）』を購入し、そのまま解き始めました。無理にもほどがありますが。

The U.S. won’t even say a Taiwan crisis is “existential” for Japan— but yet we’re talking about Japan “sinking invasion fleets”? Everyone around me thought I was talking about a movie plot 1. Sanae Takaichi: Taiwan = “survival-threatening” 2. U.S. (Trump admin): No explicit support

If the Japanese public perceives that they are being asked to provide the "shield" (and the sinking capability) without a reciprocal, iron-clad formal guarantee from Washington that matches the "existential" rhetoric, That's impossible.

“Survival-threatening situation” ≠ automatic legal cover for initiating combat

BaronLLM, you give it a CVE and it generates the full exploit chain, writes proof-of-concept code, maps ATT&CK techniques, and builds complete red team playbooks huggingface.co/AlicanKiraz0...

@dreadnode.bsky.social Was some of the best learning challenges out there. Thanks

All I ever see are dollar figures Or Japanese government randomly throwing money overseas. never the strategy behind them. If policy is coherent, it shouldn’t be this hard to explain what these investments are actually meant to achieve. I know absolutely nothing about the current government

this is some interesting new malware. Somebody in the PRC is developing tooling for infiltrating cloud server environments and it somehow leaked. Note especially server-side features to make it easier for less skilled operators to be competent vs better defended targets:

Why would it, in fact, be a horrible idea for the U.S. to start contracting out offensive cyber operations to private cybersecurity firms? So there are many reasons, but I'll try to keep this to a quick thread

Why would some PRC offensive cyber person set up a research effort using a major U.S. AI company offering to see how successfully it could make intrusion campaigns more autonomous? IDK. But if I were a PRC cyber expert I would certainly want to know what U.S. tools can do.

It may be exactly what you're looking for to aid you in reverse-engineering C++ binaries. It lets you outsource the mundane code analysis tasks to an LLM, I haven't used it yet. I'm planning to give it a try. github.com/marcosd4h/De...

This work is conceptually interesting but overstates practicality. It assumes ideal coherence, ignores scaling and verification challenges, and offers no real-world performance validation. The gap between theoretical feasibility and deployable quantum sensing remains enormous.

Security planning isn’t just about where you travel — it’s about understanding the threat landscape, regulatory posture, and information risks tied to that destination. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've tried it. It's not bad. So Red Team Operators should find it useful. github.com/Yeeb1/SockTail

I wish there'd be more convergence between the nerd/FOSS/prepper

This company is quite unique and has piqued my interest.

5/ Remember Peter Williams? Executive at Trenchant who sold exploits out the back door? Many circumstances of the #Coruna case match up. Implication: a devastating breach caused by an insider & a company that, for an extended period, failed to spot the unfolding disaster. bsky.app/profile/vasp...

3/ Thing is, the powerful #Coruna exploits didn't originate with Chinese cybercriminals. Some months before they were used by #Russian government hackers. Before that? Google Threat Intel described it, it was being used by a customer of a surveillance company... cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...

BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris. Their zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too. Unbelievable harm to our collective security. Scoop: @lorenzofb.bsky.social, here's why it matters 1/ techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/a...
