Shameless podcast plug, if you want learn more about #MilkSad after the #38c3 talk this morning. https://bitcoinexplainedpodcast.com/@nado/episodes/episode-83-the-milk-sad-vulnerability
This illustrates the scale and level of detail with which #Volkswagen spies on its customers. Their first reaction: lying that no sensitive information was leaked and the hack was sophisticated. https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen #38c3 https://img.sprovoost.nl/488208b706e237cba34693d974b535308ce820bfc27df525cca05743b6a330fe.png https://img.sprovoost.nl/9e9268f083532be6d333a7f159ab1bf1c0fd74462fd90b55873586b038dff5d8.png
Good encryption is not vulnerable to a known-plaintext attack, but that's no reason for #NATO to yolo here. They used a plaintext that's fully knowable by an adversary with a good antenna, a clock and some knowledge of the pilot schedule. If said adversary kept these recordings for a decade, now it's party time. Let's just hope nobody used this particular cipher mode. https://image.nostr.build/c85f0ae8a7d57327fc5c53f87497ea4e083e9dd8277290e5e82201d39d16cb2c.png #38c3 https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-breaking-nato-radio-encryption
This #38c3 talk on how to hack a fax machine, using just a fax, was highly entertaining. And also worrying given the types of organizations that still use this retro tech. https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-dialing-into-the-past-rce-via-the-fax-machine-because-why-not
I suspect they'll eventually figure it out. If fascisms is really coming, as the #38c3 intro talk claimed, the first to go will be activist bank accounts. I just wish people would not wait until they learn things the hard way, but that's human nature.
Ah, I missed that. Will watch the (subtitled / translated) talk later then... #38c3 https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2024/fahrplan/talk/Q8ZAV9/
