Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

lol yeah, I guess the flaw is that it's not idiot proof?

To be fair if I were in charge of procuring anything for the army "idiot proof" is way up there on the list of requirements

the flaw was that password-protected meetings could be joined without a password when joining in a specific way https://threatpost.com/cisco-webex-flaw-lets-unauthenticated-users-join-private-online-meetings/152191/

I wonder if anyone has been backing up those meetings. Would love to have a look at them.

Damn it, Russia! You should know better! Keeping the secret that the Allies had broken Enimga was a huge intelligence coup and you just give away the game now?

German Rearmament solidarity Garbage OPSEC

21st century version of compromising encryption by signing off every message with "Heil Hitler".

Amazing that Germany inherited the institutional knowledge and skills of the fucking Stasi and decided to go back to its old Abwehr days instead.

Fun times ahead for the War Thunder forums.

oops! Using proprietary American Cisco software!

Add this to the heap of reasons why Germany has the Sovereign Tech Fund and is moving to open source.

Who's to say this wasn't maliciously planted by an employee acting on behalf of the US government?
