I was reading this story (https://www.rawstory[.]com/trump-2676869375/), and noticed this:Informally known as the “Doomsday Book,” Taylor explained that the secret book is secured in a location “known to only a handful of people,” and was created under the Eisenhower administration “to keep the country running if Washington was destroyed in a nuclear strike.”The words "Doomsday Book" are linked to...https://archive[.]is/o/MBaLl/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/it-will-be-a-revenge-machine-why-a-second-trump-administration-would-be-much-worseThat Vanity Fair article is linked in the iNews article which Raw Story's piece is based off of.So, what this means is that the author of the Raw Story article used archive.today to read the iNews piece.We actually can confirm this.If we break down the URL, it has these parts:https://archive.is/o/[id of archived page]/[URL on archived page]archive.today modifies all the links on archived pages to go through this redirect.So the URL on the archived page is https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/it-will-be-a-revenge-machine-why-a-second-trump-administration-would-be-much-worseAnd the archived page containing that URL is https://archive[.]is/MBaLlWhich is the iNews article. And the iNews article has a paywall.So, journalists are using archive.today to bypass paywalls on other news websites.Here is an archived copy of the article before it gets fixed: https://web.archive.org/web/20260508150858/https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2676869375/

@iampytest1 where did you see the stuff about 313 team? Afaik I've only seen attribution to shiny hunters - and the defacement clearly linked to them as well.

This week is finals week for many colleges and universities; it is unclear how they intend to handle this outage.

@iampytest1 Yeah, archive.org was unreachable at the time that I typed this up.Seems OK now so I'll fix it.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/116518730690056225A request for comment sent to abuse@beamed.su was unsuccessful.According to my email provider, multiple attempts to send the email resulted in the error:abuse@beamed.su: connect to beamed.su[104.21.75.211]:25: Connection timed outI am going to reach out for comment via Telegram.

Do you need to be a genius to figure out that children will just steal their parent's ID?Heck, most parents would probably just give their ID to their kid, no questions asked.Especially if the kid screams and complains.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/116522456988105595We’re also adding visual analysis as a new technique to aid our detection efforts. This technology allows our AI to scan photos and videos for visual clues about a person’s age that text might miss.What happens if I - and adult - post a (consensual) photo of my kid on my social media? Does that make me a kid?Either I'm missing something or Meta didn't think this through.Can I circumvent this by posting a ton of stock photos of adults and then an occasional photo of me (if I were a kid, which I'm not)?Our AI looks at general themes and visual cues, for example height or bone structure, to estimate someone’s general ageDoes this have any basis in science?I almost failed my high school biology class and never took one in college, so I'm not exactly qualified to speak on human anatomy. That said, I'm skeptical and it seems others on Fedi are as well.https://about.fb.com/?p=48124&shareadraft=69f8d6967e5b1

To beamed.su: I remain open minded.Please respond I might write a hit piece on you in five months... wait, wrong DDoS.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/116518022621367937We offer bypasses for a wide range of CDNs and firewalls, such as Cloudflareserver: cloudflare

It seems Mozilla is now pushing their VPN through Firefox, integrating it into the browser and offering a limited amount of bandwidth for free per a month.If I wanted to hide my IP address while browsing, I would use Tor (and do use Tor), which is more private than any VPN.I also wonder how securely implemented this is. VPN browser extensions are extremely vulnerable to leaks and are basically garbage, but this is implemented into the browser, so maybe - hopefully - it is less vulnerable to leaks.#Firefox

@deviantollam @iampytest1 I love how Deviant not only doesn’t even never link the store that must not be mentioned, but also not post links to his own vids, only depend on others to spare a word. Excellent stuff!

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/116455768887330487Ted Sandyman is wondering if he is one of the baddies.

For those who don't get it, at the end of the Lord of the Rings, Saruman (calling himself Sharkey) takes over the Shire, and exploits the hobbits for his own personal profit. All which is good in the Shire is destroyed or co-opted for Sharkey's benefit.One hobbit, Ted Sandyman, sides with the oppressors to his own personal benefit.Sharkey is eventually attacked by his own disgruntled employee before the hobbits can deal with him. Being an immortal being, he doesn't die, but his physical form is destroyed.Saruman was corrupted by Sauron through his Palantir (that's an oversimplification, yes I know).

@iampytest1 Why not name it? It's useful for everyone else to know, just in case other content they have is severely out of date

This is why archives like archive.today and the Wayback Machine are so important.Especially, this why archive.today was so important. It was able to capture pages which the Wayback Machine can't or won't.That makes the current situation even sadder. We have lost an invaluable tool.

@reflex They have? I wasn't aware of that.That does make me more skeptical of their claims.

Axios reports the NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos Preview, which the company has advertised as being able to find and exploit security vulnerabilities.Anthropic has marketed Mythos as "too dangerous for the public", and restricted access to only 40 organizations. It is unclear how true this claim is.This comes amid ongoing litigation between Anthropic and the US government.https://www.axios.com/2026/04/19/nsa-anthropic-mythos-pentagon

According to Ryan Brown, a Brave employee, Mozilla has added Brave's adblock-rust into Firefox.It is disabled by default, but it is unclear how it can be configured.https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2013888
