Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has launched Passkeys support, and they have chosen to call it "Hovednøkkel" in Norwegian. Directly translated to english = "Mainkey".

1) you don't have to remember a password. With "mainkeys" you can use stuff like fingerprint or face to login.

Almost 300 organizations within the tech landscape found in my city Bergen, Norway. With 337 domains I set out to make a snapshot of their publicly visible internet security: DNS, Email & Web. Here is what I found, from startups to global giants. (Linkedin article)

I just cannot find any specific info on how Netflix, HBO Max, Disney or Prime on how to handle my daughters access to their services when she lives 50% at my place and 50% with her mother.

They cannot seriously require 2 subscriptions, but how do I handle it? Subscriptions are for people, not IPs.

I've done something I thought I would never do.

I've used Anthropic Claude to "vibe" code a Chrome plugin to test if a website is protected with DNSSEC & RPKI for BGP.

Warning: it seems to work. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Feedback wanted. 😬

We've just launched an awesome new feature at report-uri.com! You can now collect Integrity Metadata, natively from the browser, for JavaScript running on your site!

It takes seconds to deploy, so read the thread for the amazing benefits this will bring.

I just cannot find any info about Nessus or Nexpose having modules to find missing or incorrect RPKI for prefixes or AS numbers. Neither have I seen any other vulnerability scanners doing this.

Missing RPKI may be considered a weakness or flaw, but still... scanners should detect & report imho.

Well well well Google Chrome, is this how you have decided to treat @kalilinux.bsky.social all of a sudden, or do they have issues on their side, or is it just .... me?

1/ Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Telecom Informer for @2600.com. A lot of people have been asking me about www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... given that I'm somewhat knowledgeable in the area.

Here's my take: I'm kind of astonished that this is public, and it isn't normal that it would ever be.
Secret Service agents dismantle network that could shut down New York cellphone system
Agents discovered electronic devices in five locations in and around the city that could be used to disable cellphone towers. The system could also be used for criminal activities.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"Hey, Let's use AI to control access to AI!"

What could possibly go wrong?
OpenAI also plans to develop an automated age-prediction system that will determine whether ChatGPT users are over or under 18, automatically directing younger users to a restricted version of the AI chatbot.
ChatGPT may soon require ID verification from adults, CEO says
Chatbot will “default to the under-18 experience” when age is uncertain after teen suicide lawsuit.

Thread. Read, and read again.

We need to stop the ChatControl proposal here in EU. Now. For good.
I know it’s been said again and again, but what does it say about ChatControl that its backers keep explicitly *exempting* law enforcement and national security accounts from content scanning?

2 scam calls from Swiss numbers today (+41). Robot voice claiming to be Paypal, unauthorised transaction of EUR 699, press 1 to authorize or 2 to talk to support staff.

Pressing 1 still takes me to support staff (Surprise!), and dude was REALLY surprised when I still insisted to authorize. 😂

Is there a complete guide on how to install, register and use @signal.org without ever having to connect it with a phone number?

Professor Marte E. Kjørven ved UiO og Professor Kristian Gjøsteen ved NTNU har debattinnlegg i DN om BankID sitt skytespill.

Mange var kritiske til det hemmelige spillet i BankID. 👽

Nå forsvinner det:
BankID fjerner det hemmelige spillet
Noen mente påskeegget i BankID-appen var skandaløst, og nå forsvinner hele spillet.
