Dodo on Security 🇵🇸 🇺🇦

Racists are retards. Also I've been on the internet for like 20 years, you're gonna have to do better than "Brazil is liveleak" to rile me up. Funny that someone can call me antisemitic over criticizing a country, then on the same breath do actual racism lol

@tenobrus If anyone truly believes AI will be capable of outdoing people in every human pursuit possible, fighting it becomes a moral imperative. I'm not giving art and other truly human aspects of life over to a fucking clanker

dawg exactly what kind of life coaching and growth will be useful in a world where every single thing you're capable of learning or task you're performing is done better by OpenAI? are you really so divorced from the reality of what you're building?

you're a researcher at openai trying to form a vision of how artificial general intelligence can simultaneously coexist with humans while it radically transforms our world and what you come up with is *that it could help convince uber drivers to save for retirement*???

Strava, the gift that keeps on giving. 8 years ago, @Nrg8000 highlighted how the fitness app exposed sensitive military locations. And here we are again, the location of France's aircraft carrier exposed by a sailor's daily runs.

La localisation du porte-avions français Charles de Gaulle rendue possible grâce à l'imprudence d'un marin utilisant l'application de running Strava, rapporte Le Monde. En faisant son footing sur le pont, il révélait la présence du navire.

A Brazilian specialist on "online terrorism" and defender of the recently installed ID law for online activity calls a pro Palestine protest "far left antisemitic violence." The same people will tell you the push for tying online identity to the real world isn't about control

@MichelePradoBa This fine will never be paid because ofcom has no authority outside the UK. And even though they know 4chan will never pay, they don't ban the site. Because the focus is on trying to tie real ID to online activity. Both British and Brazilian laws of this nature are a disgrace

O 4chan não está na lista do ECA Digital mas na da OFcom sim e foi multado em £450.000 pela reguladora por não ter implementado verificações de idade para impedir que crianças vejam pornografia em seu site. O 4chan deve adicionar uma verificação de idade eficaz em sua plataforma até 2 de abril, ou enfrentará uma multa de 500 libras por dia. Ofcom também multou o 4Chan em mais £50.000 por não avaliar o risco de as pessoas visualizarem material ilegal. E houve mais uma multa mais £20.000 por não especificar em seus termos de serviço como o site protege os usuários de conteúdo ilegal. Excelente. O 4chan é de fato um ecossistema digital de alto potencial de risco. news.sky.com/story/4chan-we…

@john_laxton7 @paul_e_jones @BBCNews Here's something for you to reflect on: 4chan was under risk of an UK ban since at least August 2025. It's clear they will never adhere to the online safety act. Yet ofcom persists on trying to get them to collect real world ID of its users instead of banning the site. Why?

@dodo_sec @paul_e_jones @BBCNews Probably true - we should ban it.

US messageboard 4Chan mocks £520,000 fine for UK online safety breaches bbc.in/4lyLyNK

Might be time to actually rename the Streisand effect lmao

Slovenia recognized a Palestinian state, called out Israel's genocide in Gaza, and became the first EU state to ban weapons trade with Israel. Now it seems a Israeli spy firm maybe trying to manipulate Solvenia's elections.

Uh oh, looks like David gets the goose.

In the past two weeks, one million people have been forcibly displaced in Lebanon. This crisis is straining already fragile services and pushing communities to the brink. The international community must urgently step up with support. rescue.org/press-release/…

@john_laxton7 @paul_e_jones @BBCNews No, 4chan is an US company that foreigners can choose to do international business with. If the UK wants to ban it (and show its citizens what "protect the children" laws are actually about), they are free to do so. Trying to fine it is unenforceable and self embarrassment

@paul_e_jones @BBCNews If they gather revenue here via subsciptions or advertising then they operate here.

Stupid online mandatory doxing laws force me to revert my stance of "most normies don't need a VPN to browse the web." You know who needs it now? EVERYONE

@MisterQuintus @_HelenDale Except the online safety act and ofcom are draconian surveillance shit unique to the UK. 4chan broke no US law (yet). If the idiots that want to kill privacy after falling for the "protect the children" lure succeed, that might change

@_HelenDale I guess you have forgotten about the US cases against file sharing sites not based in the US.

If you think this response is arsey, consider how, say, South West Rail would respond to a US quango fining it for failing to permit concealed carry on its trains.

@DeeWaynee94 @BBCNews "Online safety" is mass surveillance disguised as protecting the children. Not only it shouldn't bite across borders, it and anyone involved in passing such laws don't deserve teeth at all

@BBCNews A half-million fine means very little when the site can just laugh, send back a hamster, and carry on. If “online safety” can’t bite across borders, it starts looking more symbolic than serious.

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

Like I said in a previous post on the topic of ID/Age Verification - I started digging into the topic quite a bit, especially after that Meta lobbying exposed news dropped. What I have (and more of others) found is something that is so stupid, but also makes a whole lot of sense...in fact imo its the perfect piece of the puzzle. I will lay out my digging through a series of events: 1. Advertisers (ie Corporations with products or services to sell), contract with big Social media platforms, paying boatloads of money for adspace. The logic is that even if 10% of the tens of millions of users buy into their ads, its worth the investment. 2. The onset of botting, has led to ads being viewers by more bots than they do humans. No matter how many bots watch your ads, they never need your products or services. So they will never give advertisers' money and business. 3. This essentially means that, Advertisers are proverbially throwing money into the drain. Paying the price with practically no ROI. Many reports indicate that this botting problem resulted in multi-billion dollar wastage on ad spending. 4. Advertisers have started grilling social media companies, especially Meta which was one of the biggest sources of the issue. This resulted in many advertisers basically threatening to pull ad money until the botting situation is controlled. 5. The botting situation became even WORSE around 2023-2025 with the Ai-Bros and Ai Companies hard pushing Ai development. The past anti-bot systems and measures lose effectiveness as Ai makes bots more sophisticated. 6. Then late 2025/2026, you can see the SNAP. The nuclear solution - Age/ID verification being pushed or implemented across multiple countries at around the same timing (within months). 7. Then now all the news about Socmed and big tech corps lobbying politicians and governments for mass ID/Age Verification on an OS/Appstore level. 8. Why? Since you pick your poison to "age verify"...a selfie, submit your ID, or Ping your credit card. Sure your age will be "verified", but it also comes with the useful byproduct of confirming you are HUMAN. So as a takeaway, what does this mean? Well to me at least, this quite neatly explains why BOTH Governments and large Corporations have collaborated and colluded to push for ID Verification at an alarming pace Globally. In the end, it really was about money. It also means quite simply in my opinion - these Corporations and Governments, NEVER really cared about "the children". "Think of the Children" imo, has always been, and will continue to be the convenient excuse for these corporations and politicians to implement this privacy-invasive system. Because if only PROVEN humans can use social media, or other similar sites/services - Advertisers will be mollified and continue to throw money at these Big Tech corporations for continued ad space. This ALSO means - that the so-called parents and people like the Riceman who run defence of ID Verification, are either very stupid, or complicit in this. Either way, the only winners are the Advertisers, the Big Tech Corpos, and the Politicians. We all however, lose.

@ClimbingCoachX Jesus that clip is so bad 🤣🤣

This is the exact situation I've been training for

@MaplePrism @vxunderground Hell yeah, free malware. I'll look at the official Reddit, if in the meantime you come across any samples please share

@vxunderground I am so shocked you're in my replies right now hello LMAO This is so cool But yeah, DNA gave out free malware to all its players with the update a week after they themselves got hacked HAHA

PSA FOR DUET NIGHT ABYSS PLAYERS THE LATEST GAME UPDATE INSTALLS MALWARE ON YOUR PC AS WELL AS A DELAYED TASK TRIGGER. PLEASE ENSURE YOU CHECK YOUR PC FOR THIS IF YOU'VE UPDATED THE GAME. The official subreddit has been suppressing and down playing this situation, shameful.

@McGrewSecurity Hunter would know the casino security are the most likely to be reptiles

@troyhunt That's the way I feel about internet ID legislation being pushed all around the world at the same time, all around the guise of "protecting children"

I’m seeing so much disinformation and hyperbole around age verification, and it’s increasingly feeling like it’s conscious and coordinated. Stuff like this isn’t accidental.
