Hervorragende Nachrichten für alle #Malware-Hersteller und böse #Hacker: wenn die #KI schreibenden Zugriff auf solche Dinge erhält, muss man nicht mehr die mittlerweile besser geschulten Menschen für einen erfolgreichen #Angriff überlisten, es reicht, wenn man die nach wie vor sehr naïve KI übertölpelt. 🤣

Ab sofort werden #Ransomware, #Phishing, #Firmenspionage, #Datenstehlen potenziell zum Massensport! 👍

It Looks Like a School #VapeDetector. A Teen #Hacker Showed It Could Become an #AudioBug

…he was intrigued to learn that the #Halo3C goes beyond #detecting smoke & #vaping —including a distinct feature for discerning #THC vaping in particular. It also has a #microphone for listening out for “aggression,” gunshots, & keywords such as someone calling for help, a feature that to Vasquez-Garcia immediately raised concerns of more intrusive #surveillance.

Seeing some people with #bigtech company / project shirts @why2025camp🙄

I remember HIP in 1997 where they had a tombstone with Bill Gates' name. Perhaps bad taste, but people seemed a bit more critical. No one would have dared to wear a Microsoft T-shirt at that time.

#WHY2025 feels different.

It seems more entertainment & security industry focussed. Less punk / DIY vibe.

Maybe it is just me or my age, but I do miss the old 'vibe' a bit, although it still is a fun event

GOOOOOD MORNING — #DEFCON! 🌅 ☕ How's your Con going so far? We're here again today in the Blue Team Village handing out Tootsie Pops, Graylog-DefCon patches, a chance to win a luggage Airtag, and FUN❗🥳

C'mon by and meet the team. 🤝 🖐🤚Try your hand(s) at Giant Jenga, get a Graylog demo, and chat us up about the lastest in 6.3. We're waiting for you... in the place where it's VERY blue. 🫵 🟦

Fuck #defcon, and basically the entire #infosec industry and the "#hacker" conferences it's sunk its claws into. If you aren't sure whether things are cooked or not, maybe parroting army recruitment slogans on stage with a general while that military supports a genocide is the sign you need.

kolektiva.socialTwin Trouble (@twintrouble@kolektiva.social)Attached: 2 images ‼️🚨KICKED OUT OF FEDCON MILITARY RECRUITMENT CONFERENCE (aka @defcon@defcon.social @thedarktangent@defcon.social)🚨‼️ - for daring to raise our voice against war criminals and the rise of AI tech fascism. 20 years ago when I spoke at the DEFCON hacker conference it was "spot the fed". After years in prison for hacking charges related to Anonymous, I was excited to finally return - only to find it thoroughly run by feds and deeply enmeshed with the military industrial complex we fight against. A disgusting display, the first hour's fascist fireside chat with DEFCON's Dark Tangent and General Paul Nakasone - a four star general and director of NSA and US CYBERCOMMAND until just last year. With DT saying "Go Army!" shamelessly recruiting for the military and praising AI imperialism as US bombs fall on Gaza - we had to take a stand. As they smugly took their final jello shots with so much blood on their hands, we shouted "War criminal!" "Free Palestine!" "This isn't a hacker conference - it's a military recruitment drive!" For daring to speak out, we were aggressively kicked out by Las Vegas Convention Center security guards - who put hands on us, calling us homophobic slurs. No goons or anyone from DEFCON offered any discussion or due process. Shameful how Fedcon treats real hackers and freedom of speech. Hackers, take a stand against the military co-optation of our communities and the hacker ethic! Jeremy Hammond
