Glossary of terms describing the massive Stryker hack by Iran: Mobile Device Management (MDM): a security service that enables IT departments to monitor, manage, and secure employee devices—smartphones, tablets, and laptops—via a central console, but also enables hackers to trash said devices.

Lil Marco steps into outsized shoes and squeals, "Looka, me Dadda!" He wobbles in front of the mirror, "Me wanna hamberder! Me make boat go boom-boom!" He trips over the ten-foot red tie draped around his neck and falls. A high, thin wail fills the air.

Just stumbled on yet another online profile ... apparently it is WordPress related. I joined WordPress nearly 20 years ago (2007) but converted all my WordPress sites to Blogger about 10 years ago. Still have those headphones. gravatar.com/cobbie

Good job all these companies are unhackable and only sell unhackable products.

"Government and commercial computers are so poorly protected today, that they can be essentially considered defenseless. An electronic Pearl Harbor waiting to happen." — Winn Schwartau, 35 years ago, hearing before US House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology, June 27, 1991 4.Sci 2:102/42

The hacktivist group claimed the attack was in retaliation for a U.S. strike on a Tehran school that killed more than 175 people, most of them children.

And we got rid of a large part of CISA that could help mitigate these attacks, RIGHT BEFORE we ATTACKED IRAN.

Also, moved US minesweepers out of the Gulf And decimated CISA staff Oh, and now there are mines and major cyber incidents

Handala, an Iranian linked group, has wiped Stryker, an Israel linked healthcare company. All BYOD and corporate devices wiped, including servers. More in thread. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

The Iran-linked hackers who hit a Fortune 500 company today say it was retaliation for the U.S. missile attack on an Iranian school that killed at least 175 people.

BREAKING Three crew members are "believed to be trapped" aboard a Thai bulk carrier that was hit by two projectiles on Wednesday while travelling through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the vessel's owner says

Stryker, hit by Iranian cyber attack, is a major US military supplier. It makes the critical trauma equipment that “keeps troops alive” when they get injured, like automated stretchers used in MedEvac Blackhawk helicopters and surgical drills used in field hospitals. #Stryker #IranWar #CyberAttack

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Who could have predicted Iranians would respond to American bombing by hacking American companies? “Pro-Iran group Handala has publicly taken credit for the incident … in response to the U.S. and Israeli strikes on the country … deleting and extracting information from more than 200,000 systems.”

Who could have predicted Iranians would respond to American bombing by hacking American companies? “A Stryker spokesperson confirmed it was targeted through its Microsoft suite of technology which disrupted its networks in facilities across the world.”

This highly predictable #IranWar escalation could be a big deal, particularly if it’s the start of a wave of similar attacks. Thanks @kimzetter.bsky.social for the heads up.

Oh dear, dear. Who's a whiny little thin-skinned narcissist? (In addition to being a thoroughly disgusting disgrace to his species and gender.)

Just remember that it was a Scot working in Dublin that gave the world the pneumatic tyre, without which your bicycle would have become a piece of scrap iron. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bo...

Ground-breaking study of hereditary haemochromatosis prevalence and genetic risks thereof in the UK. My wife's life has been ruined by this widely under-diagnosed condition, and she wasn't even born here (but had Irish great-grandparents). PLEASE share widely, wherever you live. #Haemochromatosis

Just remember it was Coventry and John Kemp Starley that gave the world the pedal chain bicycle, still the most successful transportation platform in human history.

Minesweeping is woke.

"Adopting renewable energy and green technologies, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps, would be the best and most cost-effective option for the future economy, @thecccuk.bsky.social found. Doing so would prevent the kind of shock that consumers are experiencing from the Iran war."

Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties. That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it. The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Not all sea mines look like this, but some do - freely shared on Unsplash. #Mines #SeaMines unsplash.com/photos/q8Z9P...

Random photo of sea mines to end the day. I believe these are formerly Soviet but now on Estonian soil.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Bless this reporter! Trump didn’t call him piggy, he just shat his pants.

mr president i don't think this is going to be effective

I know this is a grave moment of international crisis, but saying "Iran can't do that, it would be suicide!" is the funniest thing ever. If the heads of the Iranian government, the US military, Hezbollah, and Israel heard someone say that they'd no shit call each other to laugh about it together.

ICE ONLY LIES! All it does is abuse and lie. Lie and abuse. Oh and murder. Also rape. Lies, abuse, murder and rape.

Yesterday Trump's Advisors said Iran didn't have the capacity to start laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Today Iran started laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/p...

Pete Hegseth’s Defense Department Blew $22M On Steak and Lobster in a Single Month, Watchdog Claims #Mediaite

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed. They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

Yet more evidence that Pete Hegseth is a disgrace to humanity, a thoroughly disgusting human being.

Bravo Radio France! We need people everywhere to understand that data centres are military targets, and we must bust the myth that cloud-based computing is immune to kinetic attacks. E.g. a small number of insurgents in any region could take data centres offline with cheap, locally launched drones.

The most fun you're likely to have of the internet this morning!

Interesting ⬇️⬇️⬇️

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true
