Oh my... I just stumbled upon a theoretical question:

If we have a data center in space, what should I tick in my information security and risk assessment regarding "data residency"? And which law does apply and does the answer to this change if the data center should not be geostationary?

Also, how should I assess the risk of Kessler syndrome?

Got the word about #MetaphorReFantazio being cracked on PC.

Whatever moral code you stand in, the gist is that #SEGA published a demo without #Denuvo, and people used the demo executable to play the full game.

That's some #EpicFail. By that point just remove Denuvo and let paying customers enjoy the game with full performance for fuck sake.

Are there any good alignment chars (you know, lawful evil, chaotic good, true neutral, ....) for infsec?

FUBAR.

"Das kommt drauf an" ist ein Spruch, der eigentlich der #jurabubble zugeschrieben wird. Daß ich den in den letzten Tagen wieder und wieder in der #Informationssicherheit #InfSec nutze, schmerzt schon ein wenig.

Aber die Ironie, wenn die Juristen Anfragen bei mir stellen, genieße ich hart!

Is there a list anywhere out there, where reasons, why specific #extension​s (in this case "Smart Page Ruler") are removed from chrome, that explains more than "malicious"?

How could we assess #risk, if there is no information available?

Turning Google smart speakers into wiretaps for $100k

I was recently rewarded a total of $107,500 by Google for responsibly disclosing security issues in the Google Home smart speaker that allowed an attacker within wireless proximity to install a "backdoor" account on the device, enabling them to send commands to it remotely over the Internet, access its microphone feed, and make arbitrary HTTP requests within the victim's LAN (which could potentially expose the Wi-Fi password or provide the attacker direct access to the victim's other devices). These issues have since been fixed.

Is there a list of #BSides on #Mastodon?
Especially ones in Germany (or Europe) like #BSidesMunich, #ElbSides or #SidesBer

Von einem solchen #SpezialExperten wirkt das #Weglassen essentieller #InfSec Aspekte des #Risikomanangement für versierte Leser:innen als tendentiös & paßt von timming leider perfekt zur aktuell gefühlten #PR-Initiative aus dem unreflektierten #BMI Identy Lager
