Could a major cyberattack reshape U.S.-Russia talks? Erin Doherty reports President Trump brushed off a Russian hack of the U.S. federal courts’ system that exposed sensitive sealed records before his Putin summit. The courts are now stepping up security amid ongoing threats.

Qubic claims it pulled off a 51% attack on Monero - but did it really?
A six-block reorg is confirmed, but many argue that’s not enough proof of majority control. We explain both sides here: https://auriccrypto.com/altcoins/xmr/did-qubic-really-take-over-monero-51-claim-sparks-debate/
Schandalig. Terwijl de #persoonsgegevens van 485.000 vrouwen werden gestolen, wachtte het laboratorium een maand met de bekendmaking. Een maand! De persoonsgegevens werden al te koop aangeboden op het #darkweb. 
Het is alsof je slotenmaker al een maand weet dat je sleutel bij een inbraak is gestolen, maar je pas waarschuwt nadat hij eerst de sloten van zijn eigen woning heeft vervangen. Hoe kunnen we dit soort praktijken voorkomen? https://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/2578374-bevolkingsonderzoek-nederland-schokkend-dat-datalek-pas-na-maand-bekend-werd #data #hack #cybercrime #privacy

And poof! They're gone.
The Telegram channel for ScatteredSpider Lapsus$ Sp1d3rhunters is gone.
But there is nothing in its place that says it was removed for violating Telegram's Terms of Service, so it may be that they removed it themselves. (Updating: Scattered Spider says it was banned).
A second related account is also suddenly deleted. Their discussion channel is still there at this time.
Reorganizing? Maybe. We'll see.

And for those who are curious or keeping track:
#ShinyHunters confirmed that they are responsible for the AirFrance-KLM Salesforce-related hack. But they tell me that the Bouygues Telecom databreach is NOT their doing.
Google confirms a data breach via its Salesforce system, attributing the attack to hacker group ShinyHunters 
Stolen info includes SMB contact details—no sensitive data reported.
Attackers used voice phishing to access cloud databases 
Part of a wider pattern of Salesforce-targeted breaches.

Weird thing I observed in #infosec
There is an incredible amount of disinterest/contempt for #AI amongst many practitioners.
This contempt extends to willful ignorance about the subject.
q.v. "stochastic parrots/bullshit machines" etc.
Which, in a field with hundreds of millions of users, strikes me as highly unprofessional. Just the other day I read a blog post by a renown hacker (and likely earned a mute/block) "Why I don't use AI and you should not too".
Connor Leahy, CEO of #conjecture is one of the few credible folks in the field.
But to the question at hand.
The prompts are superbly sanitised.
In part by design, in part due to the fact that you are not connecting to a database but to a multidimensional vector data structure.
The #prompt is how you get in through the backdoor. Though I haven't looked into fuzzing, but I suspect because of the tech, the old #sqlinjection tek and similar will not work.
Long story short; It is literally impossible to build a secure #AI. By the virtue of the tech.
#promptengineering is the key to open the back door to the knowledge tree.
Then of course there are local models you can train on your own datasets. Including a stack of your old #2600magazine
the basket works well hanging on a skadis wall with a standard hook, too. #ikea #hack #skadis #openscad #3dprinting
