I do something with IT Security...
I love old computers and hate authoritarian people. Former leftie, now political homeless, but always a radical supporter of the constitutional democratic system. Strong believer in a small government. No time and patience for bullshit.

I am not sure if this is a marketing stunt or if it's a real threat. Sounds scarry, indeed.

We are so cooked.
Anthropic just accidentally leaked its most powerful AI model because someone forgot to lock a blog CMS. They’re warning it could “outpace the efforts of defenders” in cybersecurity.
Do you understand what just happened??
Close to 3,000 unpublished files were sitting in a publicly accessible data store.. Draft blog posts, PDFs, details of a secret CEO retreat at an 18th-century English manor. Anyone could find them. Anthropic’s response? “Human error.”
The leaked documents describe a new model tier above Opus. Dramatically better than anything that exists.
Their own internal draft says it’s “far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities.” Anthropic confirmed it’s real. They called it “a step change.”
They are terrified of their own model.
CrowdStrike dropped 7%. Palo Alto Networks fell 6%. Cybersecurity ETF down 6% in a single session, now 20%+ on the year. Bitcoin slid from $70K to $66K overnight. $20 billion in market cap vaporized over a draft blog post about something that hasn’t even shipped yet.
A $380 billion company with $20+ billion in revenue is telling you, in their own leaked words, that the thing they built will break the internet’s defenses faster than anyone can patch them.
They wrote that down. In a blog draft. Then left the blog draft unlocked on the internet.
Every script kiddie with API access is about to become a state-level threat actor.. Every firewall vendor is about to become a legacy vendor.. Every “we take security seriously” banner on every SaaS login page is about to age like milk.
Sleep well tonight.

I'm not sure how valid that is, but we should have a deeper look at it...

In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.
Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.
RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.
Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.
It was always DNS.
John Bradley, the author of XV died. Who ever had a computer in the 1990s used his picture viewer.

Paul Iadonisi on Gab: 'Got some very sad news this week. For anyone who has been in the Linux world as long as I have, it is impossible to not know about XV, an image viewer that is licensed as 'shareware', a type of license that took off in the 90s, primarily on Windows. It's basically a 'pay if you can' licenses, with some of them being nicknamed 'nagware' because they kept bugging you to pay. There were a few fits and starts in the Linux/Unix world, but shareware was mostly shunned in the Linux world in favor the GPL, BSD, and MIT licenses. But many of us, myself included, made an exception for XV. And with XV there was never any license 'key' of any kind that unlocked any features. It was just on your honor and if you look in the source code, you see one #.define in xv.h that you are 'allowed' to define with your email address saying it is registered if you paid. The fee was a mere $25 for a lifetime registration. Almost exactly 30 years ago, in a time when scanning software was nearly non-existent on Linux, I attended a Usenix/UseLinux conference and met a guy who ran a small company called http://tummy.com. He took the source of xv and patched it to provide scanning functionality. He charged $50 under the same terms as the original XV terms, and gave $25 of it to the XV author. So by way of http://tummy.com, my use of XV is 'registered', albeit under an old, defunct email address. The XV author gave up the development of XV quite some time ago, ending with the official version 3.10a. Several developers published patches to XV over the years, and he finally gave the approval in 2022 for a github repo to house XV and all the patches, lumped together into what has been termed the 'jumbo patch' for XV. (https://github.com/jasper-software/xv) Separately, I joined Vox Day's Social Galactic (SG) social media site as a side benefit of signing up at http://Unauthorized.TV where this guy named John Bradley was a member. He's a guitarist and occasional vocalist (sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNCir6HSJZo) who has been involved in some excellent meme warfare, largely in the form of music, against the boomer mentality and the retarded vaxx pushers. They used various band names such as Boomer Patrol, Booster Patrol, and Vaxx Traxx. For years I interacted with him on SG, but I never checked his profile. The sad news is that he died on March 20 at the age of 61 (https://voxday.net/2026/03/25/rip-john-bradley/). What makes it sadder for me is that I never made the connection. The John Bradley I knew and interacted with was someone I knew on SG who made funny parodies throughout the covidian insanity years. What I only found out after he passed is that he is the same John Bradley who is the author of XV, as well as few others in the early X Window system development world. This is his old XV website, where XVscan gets a mention (but following the links, unsurprisingly, eventually leads to an error): https://xv.trilon.com. Truly the end of an era. I think the last similar passing in the Linux world was Bram Moolenaar of 'vim' editor fame in August, 2023, which also had a unique license called 'Charityware' in support of 'poor children in Uganda'. RIP, John. You are already missed.'

Weil die Geländer nur 103 und nicht 110 Zentimeter hoch sind, werden nun Wachleute in den Treppenhäusern einer Grundschule in Frankfurt am Main eingesetzt. Kosten: 13.700 Euro. Die Schulleiterin ist fassungslos.
