PSA: Y'all are gonna see less tech content from me here going forwards but I'm not leaving either (you'll be able to find me at @timb_machine" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">infosec.exchange/@timb_machine if you're so inclined). Till it burns down entirely at least, to borrow from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_shal… (fixed typo :))

@bl4sty @qualys For once, there's sufficient time to patch.

imagine the suspense! very nice work from @qualys once again :) cdn2.qualys.com/advisory/2026/…

@decoder_it @_dirkjan You'll laugh but I have a Gist with the ones I can find...

@timb_machine @_dirkjan I never really tracked them, but a few days ago I got curious about how many CVEs I had. It wasn’t easy to gather them starting from 2018, but now they’re all in Excel ;)

Gave some extra work to MSRC 😅

@_dirkjan @decoder_it You can never have too many :)

@decoder_it Not satisfied with your CVE count I see? 😂

Top notch shit posting from Debian: lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2…

@HackingLZ @b1ack0wl That's unfair, it's still possible that they were the lead designer for TLSv1.3, RSA and ML-DSA/SLH-DSA and not a grifter.

@b1ack0wl Checks OP posters profile "Crypto"

performative slop kiddie bs

@UK_Daniel_Card You be careful where you're posting that rationality :)

I’m not sure you ‘just fix’ cyber security across a massive range of unique organisations, huge services portfolios or the complex web of supply chain security. There are vulnerabilities in software across the globe, from the devices we use to the applications and services we interact with. Zero risk and zero vulnerability doesn’t exist. This recent disclosure (and remedial action) might even be a case study in how to respond). How the vulnerability existed is always a question and there’s always lessons to be learned, but security risk is a continuum and not a fixed/not fixed position. (It’s dynamic and often fast paced) Talking cyber is easy; doing it is much harder.

@UK_Daniel_Card So a more nuanced version of "good" would be that I'm getting fed up of larger and larger cars on our roads, especially with the diminished quality of driving post-COVID. Your point about usage is a fair one tho'.

@timb_machine Doesn’t make sense to me. I pay the maximum tax band for a car I do about 2k miles a year in. SUVs 🚙 are actually comfy rather than a fiat 500 where you can’t really carry anything 🤣 I think car tax needs a rethink overall vs just targeting some car types.

Good.

@UK_Daniel_Card Come on, be fair. It's distinctly unlikely that all those complaining have ever introduced a line of code^W^W^Wbug into a piece of software, so they expect the same of everyone else. Also, if you want to beat the government, any stick, however unrelated will do...

Imagine someone thinking the entire civil service should be fired because of a security vulnerability in one platform….. That would be like firing your entire workforce because someone broke a window and entered an office premises. Madness. That’s not how you deal with security vulnerabilities or incidents (this also was responsibly disclosed and at this time there’s no reports of it being exploited by threat actors)

LLMs are just low-code "weird machines".

Oh dear. Too bad. 🤡

UK: "Immigrants won't integrate." UK: "Also, we reserve the right to kick you out."

@GoodLawProject I might if I had money to rinse.

Would you invest £125,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng? theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Grift.

@UK_Daniel_Card Looks Photoshopped.

@HmmmUK @mikko Hah. Should have zoomed in :).

@timb_machine @mikko IEFBR14 is one example shown in the photo.

Tidying up my garage, still can't throw out a very old tray of punchcards! #IBM #Mainframe #MVS #JCL #IEFBR14 Mentioning @mikko as he loves an old punchcard! 🙂

@Truth1But @josh_bfc @BrentfordHive Each to their own, but apart from his propensity to commit silly fouls, I think that's a bit unfair. We sit right above him in N122 and it's rare I'd pick him out as the weakest link, even when we're playing badly.

@josh_bfc @BrentfordHive Lazy shit attitude. At Bournemouth was interesting to watch him so closely and he just doesn't care. Occasional crazy good game but most of the time he's poor

My lineup for West Ham tomorrow

If the choice is between the side that killed 10s of thousands and the side that killed 100s of thousands, I'm not on either side.

We could probably do with an International Humans Day...
