Apple disables Advanced Data Protection for new UK users. Paying ransoms is not as cut and dried as we might imagine. Elon Musk's "X" social media blocks "Signal.me" links. Spain's soccer league blocks Cloudflare and causes a mess. Two new (and rare) vulnerabilities discovered in OpenSSH. The U.S. seems unable to evict Chinese attackers from its Telecom systems. What are those Chinese "Salt Typhoon" hackers doing to get in? The largest (by far) cryptocurrency heist in history occurred Friday. Ex-NSA head says the U.S. is falling behind on the cyber front lines. We have the winner (and a good one) replacement term for "backdoor".

Meta winds down 3rd-party content filtering. Is encryption soon to follow? Taking over abandoned Command & Control server domains (strictly for research purposes only). IoT devices to get the "Cyber Trust Mark" — Will anyone notice or care? "SyncThing" receives a (blessedly infrequent) update. Government email is not using encryption? Really? Email relaying prevents point-to-point end-to-end encryption and authentication. Just because Let's Encrypt doesn't support email doesn't mean it's impossible. What Sci-Fi does ChatGPT think I (Steve) should start reading next? To auto-update or not to auto-update? — is that one question or two? And, until today, we've never taken a deep dive into the technology of time-varying 6-digit one time tokens.
