RE: @404mediaco@mastodon.social

Add this to the long list of execs fucking up their entire company using GenAI - CEO decides he doesn’t want to pay $250m bonus to staff, asks ChatGPT how to avoid it, his legal team tell him ‘are u fuckin dumb’, he does it anyway, gets sued, and loses in court.

In other news, Hulu passed on the Buffy reboot, they didn't like the pilot. It's easy to be cynical about that one but from what I'd heard it was actually good, and weird, and got death'd by a thousand exec cuts of clueless people going "we made Buffy The Vampire What?!"

Twitter got sold for billions to xAI for billions who got sold to SpaceX for billions.

9 of the xAI founders have quit and now Elon says xAI is screwed up and needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

Well done to Elon and clowns who continue to finance this dude failing up.

If anybody wonders where my nickname comes from, I stole it Digitiser, a 90s TV video game magazine. It was a cartoon dog that did video game gossip.

Digitiser also featured a worm being sick. Yes, that was a worm. Honest.

If you're wondering what I'm seeing with regards to cyber attacks(tm) from Iran - nothing. I've had friends watching Netflow of tracked infrastructure used by known groups, it's all been dead since the war began. Iran's infrastructure is basically in ruins.

I have had friends at cyber vendors warn me they've been tasked with finding old reports about Iran, and rewriting them as new - just without dates.

There's a bunch of media reporting - I don't know how accurate - that Windows 12 will require an NPU (a fake AI chip basically), which almost no PCs have, amongst other stupid features.

Requiring TPM in Windows 11 was stupid and created PC landfill during an economic, global and ecological crisis, to drive hardware profit margins and Microsoft Surface sales.

Requiring NPUs would do the same, during an additional cost of living crisis. If Microsoft go ahead with that, it's time to swap OS.

i think my toot from about 6 months ago auto deleted on this, but yes, the AI industry thing of bulk buying up hardware components is going to quickly inflate Mastodon server running costs, so be kind to your admins.

I've said this repeatedly too but it's going to massively increase business IT costs very soon, inflation is coming across the board, CIOs are going to have a budget crisis.

Microsoft says a Microsoft 365 Copilot bug has been causing the AI assistant to summarize confidential emails since late January, bypassing data loss prevention (DLP) policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information.

For some reason it hasn’t put out a security advisory - but instead buried it in a service alert which isn’t publicly visible.

Today in InfoSec Job Security News: I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically. So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month. https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aclaude&type=commits&s=author-date&o=desc As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.

Offices belonging to Elon Musk's social media platform X in France are being raided, the Paris prosecutor's office says. The prosecutor's office said both Musk and former X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino had also been summoned to appear at hearings in April as part of its probe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3ex92557jo

Notepad++ have today confirmed their auto process was compromised by Chinese nation state threat actors, in a supply chain hack: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/ This backs up my blog from late last year, with #GAYINT threat actor mapping to Funky Stamen. The infrastructure and update mechanisms have since been tightened. For what it’s worth - entry was to telcos and financial services with interests aligned to China. Notepad++ dev did a great job treating issue seriously.

Yesterday, I heard for the first time people outside of the tech echo chamber talking about AI. It was my dad asking how to remove Gemini from his phone, as he didn’t want it. Then somebody else asked how to remove Copilot from their TV. That was the entire conversation about GenAI - how to disable it. I don’t see how that is equivalent to inventing the internet, as AI founders claim they have.

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this. So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/01/22/microsoft-gave-fbi-keys-to-unlock-bitlocker-encrypted-data/

The UK gov has today published the Joint Intelligence Committee report, presented at COBRA, called “Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security”. Findings include “every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (confidence rating HIGH)” The report is worth a read as it basically lays out how the next decade or two are going to play out. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0eae719d837d69afc7de/National_security_assessment_-_global_biodiversity_loss__ecosystem_collapse_and_national_security.pdf

If the client supply a carefully crafted USER environment value being the string "-f root", and passes the telnet(1) -a or --login parameter to send this USER environment to the server, the client will be automatically logged in as root bypassing normal authentication processes In telnetd for a decade 💀

Merry Christmas to everybody, except that dude who works for Elastic, who decided to drop an unauthenticated exploit for MongoDB on Christmas Day, that leaks memory and automates harvesting secrets (e.g. database passwords)

CVE-2025-14847 aka MongoBleed

Exp: https://github.com/joe-desimone/mongobleed/blob/main/mongobleed.py

This one is incredibly widely internet facing and will very likely see mass exploitation and impactful incidents

Impacts every MongoDB version going back a decade.
