I read "This story has been corrected to say 'used phone data,' not 'hacked phones,' in the headline" and I immediately felt that someone at Reuters could hear me yelling at my screen. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This is not a comment on this particularly, but I've said on different platforms there are relatively significant portions of humanity that aren't psychologically equipped to understand something that so closely mirrors human intelligence.

Finally got the chance to watch Sinners with Hannah. The cinematography, the music, the pacing and last but not least the acting and depth of characters, outstanding.

FEMA budget cuts have shut down the ISAC (info sharing group) for the emergency services community, which the U.S. Fire Administration funded. First ISAC I'm aware of to completely dissolve due to Trump cuts. www.darkreading.com/threat-intel... web.archive.org/web/20250526...

The Supporting Authorized Access to Information Act (SAAIA) buried in C-2 will nuke encryption at rest for regular folks via iCloud etc. Just getting that out there now. Oh and it gags companies from disclosing systemic vulnerabilities in telecommunications and data system security.

Australia - the first country in the world to make it mandatory for organisations to declare to the government if a ransomware payment is made on their behalf to cyber extortionists. Reports will have to be made to the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) within 72 hours #cybersecurity #ransomware

This is not OK. This is crossing the line between news documentary and dramatic television. It’s not genuine, it’s emotionally manipulative and it takes away from an important topic. Stop abusing AI. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

As a toddler parent that observes other parents online and in person, I observe both a lot of anxiety and presumptuousness wrt how much data is helpful and interpreted correctly jn the forms of helpful actions taken for their children. In short it is a whole mess out here.
