    VU174059 GRUB2 bootloader is vulnerable to buffer overflow
    https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/174059

    >Overview
    >
    >The GRUB2 boot loader is vulnerable to buffer overflow, which results in arbitrary code execution during the boot process, even when Secure Boot is enabled.

    I cannot say this is related but I updated grub last night on my backup server and it no longer boots.

    #privacy #itsec #security #tor #cloudflare using Tor shows how much sites are hidden behind Cloudflare. Yesterdays DNS problem of them showed even more of this privacy problem.

    With the EU making it clear that data transfer to US is not allowed this opens the question if transparent proxying traffic through Cloudflare is illegal now too. Especially where this opens MITM data collecting.

    IMHO sites behind Cloudflare should be blocked making them learn that privacy is valued.

    #Nintendo now estimates almost twice as many accounts were breached as its previous estimate. 300K online accounts were compromised, exposing PII. According to the company, this is still less than 1% of its userbase.

    Yet another reason to wonder whether #Zoom’s management is just ignorant about #privacy and #security, or actively malicious. “End to end” encryption has a specific meaning, namely that messages sent from your device are encrypted until they arrive at your recipients’ devices, so that no one in between, including any service providers, can read the message payload. If that is not the case, it is not #E2EE.
