We've given AI the keys to the kingdom and most organisations still haven't changed the locks. That's not a metaphor. That's just Tuesday in infosec.https://api.cyfluencer.com/s/rogue-25534

@Javvad Dayum, he's right. Also we can't afford those fonts anymore...

@Javvad I've set up OpenClaw on a disposable system and today's defaults for it are fairly secure. Only has access to a sandboxed filesystemno ports available to external networkstill saves your API keys to a plain text file thoughI connected it to a Telegram bot and it works great, but it doesn't really give me anything that the Claude iOS/Android app wouldn't give me.The moment you start connecting it to your email, code repos, cloud files, etc it goes from relatively safe to super dangerous, so I'm not really sure what it's useful for.Except as that expensive bonfire. Maybe rich people want that though, they've got weird kinks.

Spanish courts just ordered blocks on ProtonVPN and NordVPN during LaLiga matches. Because nothing says 'good governance' like censoring your internet for soccer.

The Art of One-UpmanshipThere's a peculiar disease that infects children somewhere between the ages of six and twelve. It's not chickenpox or measles, though it spreads just as quickly through playgrounds and birthday parties. It's the chronic need to establish dominance through increasingly absurd claims of material superiority. "Our car goes faster than yours." "Well, our TV is in colour and yours is still black and white."http://javvadmalik.com/2026/02/18/the-art-of-one-upmanship/
