Last night I set a new record for the length of time it took me to find a specific cybercriminal in real life. This one only took ten years, and hundreds of hours of research -- almost all of it in the wrong direction. I'm ecstatic, but also kind of mad at myself for missing key pieces of the puzzle that it turns out I had IN MY INBOX all along.

Anyway, the person in question is a big fish, and this going to be quite the story when it's ready. So, if I'm unresponsive to nudges etc for the next, er...week probably, you know why.

If you use a Windows or Linux device, it's vulnerable to a new post-exploit attack that can remotely install an undetectable backdoor at the UEFI level. Updates from just about every vendor available today. Impressive work from @matrosov and the rest of Binarly.

Hey folks, I come to you, hat in hand, looking for support. Financial support for #Fosstodon has dropped off recently and I totally get it - inflation is up and #Chistmas is around the corner. We all have more important things to spend our money on.

At the moment our outgoings are larger than our income, so our slush fund is dwindling away. Anything you can do to support us would be GREATLY appreciated. Here’s all the ways you can help:
