Very interesting new incident the global cybersecurity community is talking about right now, even Elon Musk has mentioned it... cybercriminals used AI-generated malware to poison a popular Python coding package called LiteLLM that helps manage AI API keys that provide access for more than 100 AI models to huge organisations including Nasa, Netflix, Nvidia, Adobe and Stripe.

The main reason the attack was discovered was that the malware was incredibly sloppily coded. If it hadn't been, no one would have noticed.

And the hilarious part was that the hackers got so upset that the cybersecurity researchers criticised the low quality of their code, even contacting one directly to argue that it was nevertheless indeed *successful* as millions of machines were infected 🤣

I have availability this week to provide commentary on this news and both the cybersecurity and AI aspects, so feel free to reach out😉

So, I rented a FLIR thermal imaging camera for the weekend, for the serious purpose of checking the windows and overall insulation of our house.

But you can also take cat pictures with this thing.

The team behind DAVx⁵ has grown once again! 😄

We're super happy that no less than @cketti has joined us and will be working on DAVx⁵ in the future. Some might know him already because he was the main developer on @k9mail / @thunderbird for Android in the past. 🎉

Once our main refactoring work is done we're focusing on some cool and very useful features again. Some of them we've had in mind (and were requested by users) for ages 😁 It will be a fantastic year for being a DAVx⁵ user!

Just added over 140 new i18n strings to Loops for the Starter Kits feature!

Translators wanted! (Please share)

Ich erhalte endlich mein "Adrienne erklärt die Tech-Welt & rantet dazu"-Format...

Ich beleuchte darin vor allem (in max 5000 Zeichen 😉) die Entwicklungen, die keine Beachtung erhalten im heutigen Weltlärm.

Wenn Dich Big Tech und KI-Regulierung interessiert, den Kampf gegen Überwachungsdystopien, und alles Digitalpolitische...

dann gerne hier anmelden 😊

Und die Geburt solche Formate benötigt immer einen Sparring-Partner, jemand der Zielgruppen, Chancen, Prozesse, Abläufe, Hickups durchdenkt... Danke 1000000 an @davidbauer der CTRL mit-ermöglichte! Die Namensfindung ging lange, aber mit CTRL sind wir beide zufrieden 😄
