Media and journalists are the enemy of the people? I’ve heard that said before; now who’s said it, and what are the predictable followup outcomes?…..

£10k is great. But with a record attendance of over two thousand security monkeys, that’s an average of only ~£5 per…..

That’s an impressive list of core Internet components - just the news I wanted a week before the festive break……

We've managed to release some more general admission tickets for #BSidesLDN2025 this Saturday (13 Dec). Please only snaggle one if you can be with us on Saturday! bit.ly/BSidesLDN202... #Security #BSides #London

An LLM can NEVER be used when both "receives untrusted input" and "can do a bad thing" are both true. This means that "AI agents" can NEVER be made safe. This is Microsoft hackery broken sandboxing and blame the user security for a feature that shouldn't exist at all.

“I am a divine entity” - No one has yet been able to prove otherwise.

Cloudflare: 99% of systems are operational! Uhhh... that's... um... isn't that an important one?

I’m only missing 9, for the same reason as Charlie; whatever the era, if you’re blasting your personal preference of tunes (however good) into the public spaces, you’re a bit of a……

The River Dart trespass was undertaken by our South Devon group, where they met at Galmpton before trespassing in the Waddeton Court and Sandridge Barton Estates, the latter of which is owned by a company registered in the Cayman Islands.

I’ve never been active military, and I appreciate the concept of a chain of command; but at which point should we expect professional soldiers to say “no”? “Just following orders” has never been a sufficient excuse.

Starting Monday LinkedIn will begin using data from your profiles/posts to train AI. If you live in EU/EEA/Switzerland/Canada/Hong Kong your data is subject to being used this way, but you can opt out. Go to Settings/Privacy/Data for Generative AI Improvement and toggle the switch to off

Right to Roam campaigners call for access to all England’s rivers Our local groups are organising 9 river trespasses in November to highlight how inadequate & unworkable the government’s pledge of a mere 9 river walks is: www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

In a shocking reality check, @wired.com is not, in fact, bankrolled by “donations from far left organizations.” We actually rely on an amazing and growing audience of subscribers to support our journalism, so please subscribe to WIRED if you don’t already.

No

Some sobering thoughts from @quinnypig.com to go with your morning coffee. Especially if you’ve hitched your professional cart to the AWS train over the last few years.

Then there’s no reason not to release the full and unredacted files

Scrolled every story within the @skynewsrss.bsky.social app - not spotted a single piece covering #NoKings protests in the US from the UK. If I didn’t already know about it from in the ground organic content, I’d not know about it by relying on MSM.

As land ownership becomes increasingly concentrated, real freedom to access and enjoy nature is at risk. That’s why it’s more important than ever to keep pushing to protect and extend our right to roam. What does a Right to Roam mean to you? Tell us here - forms.gle/X6FnwL82paNg...

When people warn about the privacy and security risks of mandating digital age verification, this is exactly what they mean. It’s not hypothetical www.bbc.com/news/article...

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

Ready for a day of CloudSec at AWS Re:Inforce Re:Cap darn in that there Londonium

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This week's Seriously Risky Business looks at how foriegn intelligence services are using domestic proxies for overseas operations, a Senate report accusing DOGE of putting Americans' most private data at risk, and more. Read the newsletter, from @tom.risky.biz.

Disappointing from Apple. But hardly surprising after Tim Cuck’ golden bribe to the orange one in front of assembled press in Oval Office

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

So “shilling”; not journalism, marketing.

There goes the First Amendment.

*was* subbed via Apple, so couldn’t contribute to the load directly. Still trying to do my bit….

HOLY FUCK. Department of Justice nabbed one of the Scattered Spider guys. They got him on 120 counts of computer intrusions. He's facing over 95 years in prison. I've NEVER seen a cyber crime charge this high.

Foreign billionaires don’t get to incite violence against Britain. We cannot stay silent. 1/5 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Musk is inciting violence on London's streets.Tommy Robinson is financed by US tech bros. These are all very direct attempts to destabilise the British state. Starmer needs to stand up to this. A government that doesn't defend its country's values against these blatant attacks is not doing its job.

Smarter people than me are already dissecting everything that is wrong with Melon’ speech. So I’d like to take just a moment to appreciate that the man behind the data slurp machine of both Twitter and the largest exfil and consolidation of data under DOGE is wearing a shirt referencing Orwell…

Looking forward to this one, Jerry is becoming a regular at BSidesNCL, and every year I take notes away from his talks that I can implement in the office. If you need to be able to justify ROI of getting your $employer to fund your conference trips, Jerry may help with the business case.

Countdown to T-Minus T-Shirt Deadline! Space cadets! There’s an important mission update: You have until 10th September to grab your ticket with a T-shirt included! Don’t miss out on your official mission gear—secure your ticket before the 10th Sept! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bsidesncl-...

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Our first ticket release is this Monday (1st Sept) at 1337hrs: bit.ly/BSidesLDN202...

Interesting that Vance thinks people with (alleged) criminal conduct shouldn’t be in positions of power…..

Bellingcat has just launched a tool for searching through transcripts of local council meetings in the UK, which should help counter acts like these council-search.bellingcat.com

if a human being was caught talking with a minor about suicide this way they'd face criminal charges

Hillary was killed for years for having good, secure email that happened to be private

Re-reading the report of the Social Security whistleblower, it is striking how many times good people within SSA tried to keep DOGE from committing crimes. Here's my understanding of the timeline 🧵

No law enforcement agency issued that shirt. This is a shirt you can just buy on Etsy! What in the actual f--- WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW ORDERS FROM SOMEONE IN AN ETSY "POLICE" T-SHIRT???

“Wrong” side of the pond to have opportunity to get to @hope.net, forever grateful for cons spitting all talks out to YouTube. Partly terrifying, but loved @harper.lol’ talk, very insightful stuff.

Remarkable open letter from Bill Burns. "If intelligence analysts at the CIA saw our rivals engage in this kind of great-power suicide, we would break out the bourbon. Instead, the sound we hear is of champagne glasses clinking in the Kremlin and Zhongnanhai." theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
