So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Un Ledger peut passer tous les tests d'authenticité… et envoyer tes 24 mots à un inconnu par réseau mobile. ❌ Pour moi, c'est terminé. Je raccroche les hardware wallets. Et ça me fait mal de l'écrire. Pendant des années, c'était LE conseil. "Not your keys, not your coins." Achète un Ledger, range ta seed, dors tranquille. Je l'ai répété moi-même. Ce qu'on a trouvé dans des Nano X vendus neufs, sous blister intact : 1️⃣ Une deuxième carte cachée derrière l'écran, à la place du coussinet 2️⃣ Une batterie remplacée par une plus petite pour faire de la place 3️⃣ Une puce, une antenne, une eSIM et un modem 4G L'implant ne touche pas la puce sécurisée. Il lit l'écran au moment où ta phrase de récupération s'affiche, puis il l'envoie. Le "Genuine Check" reste au vert. Ledger a confirmé un implant dans l'appareil d'une victime. Plus de 70 millions de dollars auraient été vidés chez des clients d'un revendeur officiel en Asie du Sud-Est. 🚨 Et ça ne resterait pas en Asie. Un acheteur affirme avoir trouvé des câbles en trop dans un Ledger acheté en magasin, chez un revendeur officiel européen. Selon Mark Karpelès (ex-patron de Mt. Gox), l'antenne porterait une étiquette "version eurasienne". Il pourrait donc y en avoir d'autres en circulation. 📍 Et le plus beau : la réponse officielle. Leurs systèmes ne sont pas compromis et il faut acheter chez le fabricant ou chez un revendeur agréé. Et devinez quoi ? Le revendeur était agréé. ⚫ Rien ne prouve que tous les Ledger soient piégés. Mais c'est justement le problème : tu ne peux plus le prouver toi-même. Tout le trajet entre l'usine et ton salon est une boîte noire. Le hardware wallet n'avait qu'une seule promesse : ne faire confiance à personne. Aujourd'hui, il faut faire confiance à l'usine, au transporteur, au revendeur, au magasin… et à un tournevis. 🚩Je pense que cette industrie n'a plus d'avenir. Pas parce que la puce est mauvaise. Parce que la confiance ne se répare pas avec un firmware.

Now you can bet that the @CIA & the @FBI are internally fighting mad that AI is finding all of security vulnerabilities that they planted into Linux over the years to spy on Americans who use Linux instead of state controlled spyware like Windows and Mac. AI cyber defense tools are threat to continued secret government mass infiltration & dragnet spying inside everyone's computer system.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.
