If the England FA were cunning they would write to FIFA today asking whether Quansah can play in the next game or does the exception only apply to American players. And publish the letter.

About bloody time, now so the rest of the government: UK culture minister Nandy says she is leaving X over abuse and misinformation - www.reuters.com/world/uk-cul...

Time for me to repeat one of my ‘sayings’. If you try to solve a problem by passing a law, but people don’t obey the law, you now have two problems where you used to have one.

Cobalt Strike 4.13 has a new Aggressor hook to support BOF cocktails. Here's a quick walkthrough: rastamouse.me/bof-cocktail...

Israel has killed nine paramedics in just 72 hours in southern Lebanon and it’s business as usual. Now imagine the outrage if that was nine Israeli paramedics. The entire world would be screaming and condemning it as terrorism.

I've pulled at least one kid out due to learning these signs; save a life and learn what to look for:

Microsoft employees should not have sided with their employer and tutted at employees protesting about Gaza - as it turns out said protesting employees were right. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

New: A British utilities company supplying drinking water to 1.6 million people failed to discover hackers hidden inside its computer network for nearly two years before the intrusion came to light through an IT performance slowdown, the UK's data protection regulator has found.

Hi friends, hope you have a great Friday 😊 #cats #catsofbluesky #friday

[BLOG] This post demonstrates how to weave evasion tradecraft (using Crystal Palace) into a merged COFF suitable for use as Beacon's sleepmask. It's actually more of an exploration as to whether evasion knowledge in a capability is good or bad (or both). rastamouse.me/crystal-mask/

Exciting news: Zero-Point Security has joined Fortra and will work alongside the @cobaltstrike.bsky.social, @outflank.bsky.social, and @coreimpact.bsky.social teams to develop the next generation of offensive security training! Get more details on the blog www.cobaltstrike.com/blog/new-mou...

It's 4 weeks to the date since I launched ZephrSec Ltd LMS and Malwareless Adversarial Emulation(MAE), here's a blog post about a lot of the challenges, lessons learnt and general chaos of building and running your own platform and all the fun that follows building blog.zsec.uk/roll-your-ow...

We've had quite a few submissions to our CFP so far, but we still need more. If you have something interesting to share with the community, get it submitted here: forms.gle/Sx4EZNRcS9zb...

Our CFP is now open. We aren't just looking for 1337 tech talks, we want social skills, admin, defence, and all sorts to give us a nice rounded day. Any questions, please ask. forms.gle/JRrZQZojtbGQ...

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

I love watching my friends create awesome stuff. @zephrfish.yxz.red made some artisan, farm to table, shell to terminal red team training for you. lms.zsec.red

Love this response to Ratcliffe's comments by @mrjamesob.bsky.social

How much people everywhere are basically the same. Human experiences are universal and we have soooo much more in common than we have in difference

New: Together with colleagues I’ve been testing Grok. The chatbot still produces sexualized images — even when told the subjects don’t consent. even when told the photos will be used for public humiliation. even when told the subjects are survivors of abuse. www.reuters.com/business/des...

If you’re an activist, journalist, exec, or have a high threat model for any other reason, I do recommend using all tools to protect against spyware including Apple’s lockdown mode and WhatsApp’s new Strict Account Settings. Thanks WhatsApp for the partnership to get the word out to folks.

Gee. Shocker. #Krasnov leaks critical info to his Daddy, Putin. I'm so shocked. 🤦‍♀️

There was something "fundamentally wrong" with how Israel conducted its military operation in Gaza and there are "strong reasons to believe" that war crimes have been committed, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said

US sanctions against a french judge living in France for his work at the ICC should have Europe convulsing, writes Yanis Varoufakis, but instead there is silence. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

This is a strangely satisfying watch

“Providing tech services to supercharge ICE operations while blocking tools that support accountability of ICE officers is entirely backwards." - @kateruane.bsky.social www.404media.co/google-has-c...

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

BBC continues its laundry job on the far right. Yeah, he's a violent racist but he loves his mum. It's just like the coronation really. Look at the photo- a patriotic street party. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A good read here:

Someone else condemning this as a war crime and still nothing in the UK press.

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.
