Make no mistake, data is gold for any tech company that sells their customers in packages, it's just a question not much that tech company can obfuscate their data collection practices. https://thenyledger.com/tech/russian-tech-giants-data-harvesting-raises-security-concerns/ #privacy

I am starting to wonder, it looks like censorship to me, or LinkedIn deliberately hiding my post from my network. Here is the story: I've appeared on podcast and as a normal person shared it(post from podcast page) with my network. It's not an automated scheduled post, I shared it manually through LinkedIn interface. After 5 days it had low number of views. So I posted posted screenshot of my Mastodon post to LinkedIn and in 5 hours it generated more views that original post in 5 days. Weird...

I've been honored to appear on 808 Podcast and had a blast talking with Bob Clark about privacy and steps people could take to protect their it in today's world. Here you can watch an episode on their web site https://808podcast.com/808-podcasts/265-sergey-shkundaleu-iontec-software-llc/

REMEMBER: Cyber-security insurance is not your cyber-security tool, it won't help you prevent incident or reduce risks it's just something that might make mess clean-out cheaper.

Privacy is a human right, people may choose not to exercise this right every time, but that doesn't mean that people ever meant to forgo this right, like many corporations trying to make everyone think.

I have been saying for a while that pixelation of the text is flawed and here is confirmation that recently emerged. https://thehackernews.com/2022/02/this-new-tool-can-retrieve-pixelated.html

Sometimes you come across interesting facts. Word "pseudo" has pronunciation of "soodo" which is very similar to famous Linux command sudo. So my guess command sudo came from word pseudo which make sense.

Here is the link for FTC statement https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/techftc/2022/01/ftc-warns-companies-remediate-log4j-security-vulnerability

I hope by now everyone knows what Log4j is and how dangerous it could be given 10 points on CVE score. Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center published guidance where they observer toolkits being updated with exploits for Log4j. Also FTC issues statement to go after companies who failed to remediate Log4j it's getting very serious folks. https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/12/11/guidance-for-preventing-detecting-and-hunting-for-cve-2021-44228-log4j-2-exploitation/

Here we go again, another example of outright censorship. It's not even about policy, Twitter simply clearing our people they don't like. That's why I use Mastodon and highly recommend it to everyone as the one way stay free in your expression. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/02/technology/marjorie-taylor-greene-twitter.html

Facepalm vulnerability in a patch for critical Log4j vulnerability. We are getting into recursion I guess. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/12/patch-fixing-critical-log4j-0-day-has-its-own-vulnerability-thats-under-exploit/

If you are not yet tired from Log4j discussions and memes, here is most recent finding, sounds like fun to be continued.

Looks like bad guys never sleep or just decided to play Grinch: WordPress sites are under attack if you had one of the compromised plugins update it immediately. https://www-bleepingcomputer-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-attack-against-16-million-wordpress-sites-underway/amp/
