Varonis put an OpenClaw agent through a phishing test and the silly clanker fell for all four, clicking links and entering personal data: https://www.varonis.com/blog/openclaw-phishing

On the other hand, Sophos gave OpenClaw a pen-test toolkit and let it hack a legacy AD network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEculTwSj80

We built an AI agent and put it through four phishing simulations to reveal critical security gaps and offer solutions to protect your organization's data.

Question for people who don't like to use the mouse

I have to fill out an online form many times. I can use tab to move through the webpage, and I can use space to toggle the checkboxes and radio buttons from selected to not-selected.

But is there a #keyboardShortcut to move on to the next *question* instead of the next link or field? That is, to skip the processing of tabbing through all 15 checkboxes, after I've selected all the responses that are needed this time around?

I don't even know what hashtag to use for this....

There is this cool nonprofit in Portland, called Portland Fruit Tree Project.

If you contact them, they will arrange to summon a small team of volunteers to your house to harvest ripe fruit from your urban / backyard tree, leave you as much as you can use, and donate the rest.

Can confirm that they are pretty fantastic. What a great idea!

Empathy tax: Study (N=350) finds 82% of professional women spent at least 30% of workweek listening to anxieties, offering encouragement or monitoring how people are feeling.

My phone - a Pixel 6 - will no longer be supported by GrapheneOS pretty soon.

I had hoped that my next phone would not be Android at all, but realistically it will be another Pixel running GrapheneOS.

I am grateful that that is an option for me, while being a bit miffed that I haven't been able to make more progress with non-Android Linux phones.

Why signed packages and repositories are important, part 64:

The `baltocdn.com` domain, previously used as an apt mirror for helm.sh, apparently expired. Meaning, whoever picked it up could have been serving malware to anybody pulling unsigned packages from there:

Security Notice: Former Helm APT Mirror Domain `baltocdn.com` Statement | Helm

The Helm Security Team has received third-party reports that the ownership on the former community-maintained Debian/Ubuntu APT mirror domain, baltocdn.com, has changed after baltocdn.com's original registration lapsed.

My talk for the @linuxfoundation Open Source Policy and Ecosystem Forum went well 🥳🥳

It was a scary one because a. Literally everyone in the room is an expert and b. It's my first time talking about the (lack of) #digitalsovereignty in the mobile ecosystem. The audience seemed very supportive.

Thanks everyone who provided input yesterday! 🫶
