  • The warning refers to Operation ShadowHammer, a sophisticated supply chain attack mounted in 2018 by Chinese state-sponsored hackers

    […]

    The attack was uncovered in January 2019 and Asus released a patch by March the same year.

    It was already patched ~7 years ago, but CISA only warns now?

    While over 1 million Asus users might have downloaded the backdoored utility, the hackers were reportedly interested in only around 600 specific devices, based on hashed MAC addresses hardcoded in various versions of the tool.

    Per Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, federal agencies have three weeks to identify vulnerable products in their environments and address the issue.

    The hackers targeted this to 600 devices then waited 7 years and expected the targets won’t upgrade this app? This sounds strange, or I’m misunderstanding something.

    Toki Pona (translated as ‘the language of good’) is a philosophical and artistic constructed language designed for its small vocabulary, simplicity, and ease of acquisition. It was created by Canadian translator and polyglot Sonja Lang with the stated purpose of simplifying her thoughts and communication. The first drafts were published online in 2001, while the complete form was published in the 2014 book Toki Pona: The Language of Good (referred to as lipu pu in Toki Pona).

  • In my local bank you can choose between 2 ways of 2fa: in their app or sms. Sms is less secure and slower, as you have to wait a bit for the sms to arrive. And you have to use 2fa for each online purchase, and login to the website. But my bank’s app works perfectly fine on rooted phones.

    However Revolut stopped working, and I gave up reading about workarounds. I have an old unrooted broken phone always at home, I use it for that only. Revolut’s website is limited, you can only see your balance and disable your cards if they were stolen, nothing else, you have to use the app for everything.

    I haven’t followed this software and company before, what do you mean, what is the catch?

    Adobe doesn’t offer any of its software for free except acrobat reader, where you get nagged about paid features constantly, but it’s easy to ignore.

    Why shouldn’t I recommend this over cracked Photoshop? Its features seems like closer to PS than Gimp or Krita.
