Inside the "3 Billion People" National Public Data Breach

“there were no email addresses in the social security number files*. If you find yourself in this data breach via HIBP, there's no evidence your SSN was leaked, and if you're in the same boat as me, the data next to your record may not even be correct”

Linux kernel impacted by new SLUBStick cross-cache attack

A novel Linux Kernel cross-cache attack named SLUBStick has a 99% success in converting a limited heap vulnerability into an arbitrary memory read-and-write capability, letting the researchers elevate privileges or escape containers.

The discovery comes from a team of researchers from the Graz University of Technology who demonstrated the attack on Linux kernel versions 5.9 and 6.2 (latest) using nine existing CVEs in both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, indicating high versatility.

CrowdStrike Didn't Just Affect Windows But Linux Too!
  • CrowdStrike support appear to be incompetent for such a mission critical software. Given the big $£€¥ companies pay for this, I would think some serious law suits must be in the pipeline for breach of contract?

  • File Manger for iPhone/iPad?
  • Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

    Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

    • Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

    You want the app by Stratospherix

  • File Manger for iPhone/iPad?
  • ‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).

    Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.

    • This is the app by Stratospherix. There are imitators in the App Store
  • File Manger for iPhone/iPad?
  • Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

  • File Manger for iPhone/iPad?
  • One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.

    I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.

  • Recommend a File Manager app for iOs
  • Because it’s extremely basic. I want to do more sophisticated file management. At the moment I kludge Apple's Files app with home brewed Shortcuts but I find Shortcuts to be buggy. There are some small utilities available in the App Store to supplement but there are not very cost effective.

  • File Manger for iPhone/iPad?

    iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

    Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

    *Yes, I’m aware Files app is provided by Apple, but it’s extremely basic.

    Multiple email signatures
  • From the top of my head, I think you do that in Mail. I can’t recall a section of the domain setup for that.

    Pretty sure It must be done separately on iOS Mail vs MacOS Mail vs Web Mail.

    Tedious, but a once off.

  • has anybody fully abandoned Android, for anything other than iOS?
  • Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!

    iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.

    I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.

    Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…

    I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.

    I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.

  • Caveat for anyone being influenced by the long political intro trying to convince folks to install Debian based Mint over Ubuntu based Mint:

    "There’s a few final things to note about Linux LMDE 6 that may be of interest. Firstly, if you’re looking explicitly for a DE that supports Wayland instead of X11 then Linux Mint of any flavor isn’t going to meet your needs. Linux Mint LMDE 6 (and Mint main) with Cinnamon uses X11 exclusively, and Cinnamon support for Wayland isn’t there yet. If you’re looking for Wayland support, you’re pretty much limited to GNOME 3 and KDE at this time and distros other than Mint will serve you better in this regard.

    Another thing of note is that the LMDE version of Mint specifically, including Faye, does not have the same third party driver helper tool that is present in the main version of Mint based on Ubuntu. While the 6.1 branch of the Linux kernel brings even more hardware support to LMDE 6, there are still times when you may require or prefer to use third party proprietary drivers for certain hardware. If that’s the case, you’re on your own to install those manually in LMDE."
