We are launching a PHP Capture the Flag challenge integrated with our Bug Bounty program to test our WAF protections. Security researchers are invited to bypass our defenses and capture the flag to help make the Internet safer. cfl.re/4iqHaQ1

Möchte gern mal zwei Dinge klarstellen:
1.) Entgegen der Hamas- und Iranischen Mullah-Propaganda gibt es in Gaza keinen Genozid. Wer diese Genozid-Lüge weiterverbreitet steht auf der Seite des islamischen Terrorismus. Das muss man mal so klar sagen.
2.) Nein, ich habe keinerlei Mitleid mit den Menschen in Gaza. Warum? Ganz einfach: Als die terroristische Hamas den Staat Israel überfiel und über tausend Menschen auf bestialischste Art und Weise hinrichteten haben die Menschen in Gaza-Stadt frenetisch gejubelt. Selben gilt übrigens auch für die muslimische Community in Berlin, Hamburg, München und Köln. Wer sich über solch ein Grauen erfreut und freudestrahlend Tänze veranstaltet verdient kein Mitleid. Das, was in Gaza geschieht, ist gerechtfertigt und richtig.
Wieder ein Tag froh, Hetzner Kunde zu sein. Saubere Leistung, schnelle Reaktion und wichtige Backports für ältere PHP Versionen!! @Hetzner_Online

An update from Brewster Kahle on today's outage.
ALT Internet Archive ops staff were heroes last night. PHP vulnerability announced, soon saw attacks, isolated the vulnerability, used Claude to make fixes for our older php versions, used local models to run simulated attacks, deployed. reinforced WAF and other guards. Offline briefly, Back on new versions and running! Given the severity, there are heroes in many many orgs from last night. Could have been no lights, no traffic signals, real problems. Heroes. Thank you all.

Following the discovery that eight eMudhra intermediate certificates use weak keys, Cloudflare is deploying mitigations and releasing client updates. We explain the impact, our response, and what customers and developers should do next. cfl.re/487DNbG

In the last 24 hours:
1. iPhone 11 through 16 are apparently vulnerable to remote attacks.
2. SSL certificates are broken until browsers remove eMudhra CA.
3. PHP >9 vulnerability CVE published (tomorrow).
The world is about to witness things that have never been seen before.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's iPhone claim is inaccurate; a leaked Cellebrite forensic tool targets a Bluetooth bug patched in iOS 26.5 and does not affect updated devices. The eMudhra CA and PHP issues are real incidents but framed sensationally.

❗️ The AfD leak site's thousands of emails shows nazism from party members and staff labeled under racism/antisemitism.
We went through the worst:
1. A 2018 email forwarded by Alexander Gauland concerns a "Hitler-Wallfahrt", a Hitler pilgrimage, by a former judge at the party's Thuringia arbitration court.
2. A member joked in a district WhatsApp group about turning refugees into handbags and boots, an allusion to the Nazi camps.
3. A district chairman quit, saying a board member sent a "Heil Hitler" Christmas card with a swastika and it was laughed off.
4. A Bavarian official urged party leaders to chant "Merkel verrecke", roughly "Merkel, croak", every day.
5. Federal party staff discussed luring a photographer to an event to remove him by force. The thread signs off "Heil und Sieg".
6. A 2025 NRW email is titled "Sale of swastika flags and drugs at the info stand".
7. This year alone, branches moved against members over a Nazi banner with a swastika, a Hitler impression and a call for machine guns against Arab clans.

live footage from anthropic office
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.
