Instagram actually have E2EE feature? I am more surprised about DMs actually encrypted rather than this announcement.

🔙 🚪 Researchers found a new backdoor called #Slopoly, likely generated with #AI, used in an Interlock ransomware attack to steal data.
Slopoly is a simple #PowerShell client that beacons to a C2 server, runs commands, and keeps persistence.
#IBM X-Force links the attack to a financially motivated group known as Hive0163 and says AI tools are speeding custom malware development.

When buying WordPerfect in 1987 for my desktop PC whose only link to the surrounding world was a 2400 bps modem and a copper telephone wire, I don't remember having any feeling that the Wordperfect Corporation wanted to spy on me, sell my personal information, enshittify the software and fund global fascism.
Maybe there is a market for similar products today as well.
A speaker asked us to put our hands up if we've never used an AI coding assistant (data science meet-up last night).
I was the only one in a whole room.
I guess I'm an "AI vegetarian" 😆

G'day #devs. Our project is looking for a developer to help us with an exciting fediverse-facing Google drive application for educators—and general fedi populations. Experience with app-script and extending the Drive UI (building atop existing FOSS project if possible) helpful. Mostly volunteer, for now, for our nonprofit needs, but there is a commercial spin-off possible.
Please, no google-hate replies. It is what it is. For now.
