@Melis_sa Nice shot!
USB-C cable CT scan reveals sinister active electronics — O.MG pen testing cable contains a hidden antenna and another die embedded in the microcontroller

A small package with a huge malicious potential.

Hey #infosec folks, if you've bridged your account to #Bluesky using BridgyFed (https://fed.brid.gy/) let me know so I can add that bridged account to a starter pack there. 👍

Would be great to highlight the infosec people who are here, over there.

Boost around so I can nab everyone! 🚀

Bridgy Fed

Bridgy Fed is a bridge between decentralized social networks like the fediverse, Bluesky, and web sites and blogs.

This is a gentle but important video reminder for anyone who has cheered on the videos of my teenage son, especially those of you who got out of bed at 3AM to do so.

(btw, the video contains a little surprise at the end!)

This should be getting a lot more attention. NXP chips are in a lot of products. It's likely the TA knows of specific flaws reported to NXP that can be leveraged to exploit devices the chips are embedded in, and that's assuming they didn't implement backdoors themselves. Over 2.5 years (at least), that's not unrealistic.
