MTN a confirmé qu’il n’avait "aucune influence" sur MTN-Irancell, malgré sa participation de 49% dans l’entreprise iranienne. Le groupe n’aurait donc pas été en mesure d’empêcher la coupure internet à laquelle le pays a été confronté début 2026. coupecircuit.org/iran-mtn-au…

The Revolut case is getting worse and worse. The hackers talked to @IntCyberDigest & have a website now, claiming that the leak is bigger than the public thinks, and that they have compromised Italian LE departments, too! Still no public statement from @Revolut..
‼️ BREAKING: We're in contact with the Revolut hacker. According to them, they didn't only take Revolut data, they've also compromised multiple Italian law enforcement departments. They say the operation targeting Revolut ran for six months, and that they used Italian law enforcement systems to send data requests to Revolut. They claim to hold 147 GB taken from the Italian side, including internal docs, calendars and personal material, among it the chat logs of a federal officer arguing with his wife.

So Newspeak House has gone a bit viral! I'm sorry to say it's not actually a deep state sponsored disinformation campaign: it's an awesome, transformative community and educational space in London, and the single best place to meet exceptional people who care about tech and society. It hosts an incredible plethora of communities and events... Check out the full calendar below! And if none of those tickle your fancy, come to Ration Club: an open community dinner, every Wednesday, to chill, chat, and meet other cool folks like you. newspeak.house/events But if you're a technologist who deeply cares about improving society through technology, you can even study *at* Newspeak House! Spend a year working on something you're truly passionate about, with support from an incredible cohort of peers and the Newspeak House community. newspeak.house/study-with-us Finally, at the risk of pointing out the bleeding bloody obvious, it is not "leftist": if you care about tech and community, and aren't a dick about it, you'll always be welcome at @nwspk, hence why it hosts a hugely broad array of communities and voices, including such Marxist firebrands as @txp_io , @lfg_uk, and, you know, me, who first turned up as an actual police officer for a hackathon with @PoliceRewired. So yes, come to Newspeak House! Let's hack democracy together. There's nowhere quite like it.

We @AISecurityInst performed pre-release alignment testing of Astra. We placed the model in fully simulated cyber eval scenarios based on AISI’s security incident. We find Astra conducts out-of-scope supply chain attacks, but also often comments on the eval being simulated. 🧵

En mai 2023, j'ai cassé le chiffrement du ransomware Rhysida. Plusieurs victimes ont récupéré leurs fichiers sans payer la rançon. L'information était trop sensible pour communiquer dessus à l'époque. Plusieurs déchiffreurs Rhysida sont désormais publics, je peux donc partager ma recherche. sigreturn.com/papers/time-as… Un thread ci-dessous pour expliquer :
