U'khand CM Dhami reviews cyber #security infra after #malware #attack

source: https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/u-khand-cm-dhami-reviews-cyber-security-infra-after-malware-attack-124100600451_1.html

Malware is a type of #computer #virus used to steal data.

...

#Dhami also directed the officials to conduct a security #audit of the 'State Data Centre' and the #website.

The question is rather why the security of the software was not sufficiently audited in advance and whether this is the right software at all if it is susceptible to such attacks?

The Free Software Database v. 250724.218 is online!

What's new?

We've transitioned away from Uploadcare CDN and Polyfill.io as those services were no longer owned by the original companies.
Since we've always used the Subresource Integrity (SRI) security technology, there has never been any risk, but they were causing occasional network delays.

This is only a patch and it will soon be followed by important improvements in the next days.

What to expect?

  1. We have decided to be more attentive to user feedback, so the indexed free or open source projects involved in abuses to the detriment of the free software volunteers will suffer a heavy and publicly visible penalty. They won't be removed, but a warning will be clearly visible, a permanent search engine penalty will be imposed and alternatives may be recommended.

  2. All resources will be associated with a developer, either a person or a project. The karma (reputation) of a software will now depend on the average reputation of the other resources by the same author. This will serve as useful indicator to those searching for a project to volunteer for.

  3. We plan to gradually reduce the dependency on Content Delivery Networks.
    This will have a positive impact on speed and privacy.

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight #online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability.

Redditors #prank #AI - powered #news mill with “Glorbo” in World of #Warcraft

source: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/07/redditors-prank-ai-powered-news-mill-with-glorbo-in-world-of-warcraft/

On Thursday, a Reddit user named kaefer_kriegerin posted a #fake #announcement on the World of Warcraft subreddit about the introduction of "Glorbo" to the game. #Glorbo isn't real, but the post successfully exposed a #website that scrapes Reddit for news in an automated fashion with little human oversight.

France’s browser-based website blocking proposal will set a disastrous precedent for the open internet

https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2023/06/26/france-browser-website-blocking/

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments that will easily negate the existence of censorship circumvention tools.

The Power Of #CS1x - Ep1 - #Airwolf, The #Terminator, Don't You Want Me, #KnightRider and Jump - #KOSmusic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvClPvoxags

For many years my wife and I have wanted to create something dedicated exclusively to the #Yamaha CS1x #synthesizer. Finally, after so much work, we are very happy to present you this mini #series in which the #sounds of the CS1x will be the #protagonists.

Each episode will consist of 5 #famous #music presets that I created and performed on the CS1x.
The visual style and structure of these videos is inspired by early 90s learning video tapes.

The initial logo and the music, is a #tribute to one of the most important distributors of #VHS in those years in the #UnitedStates, the "Simitar Entertainment".

To make these videos useful even for those who just want to learn how to play some pieces of this music from the past with their own #keyboard/ #synth, I filmed the synthesizer from above in order to better understand the keys I press.

In this episode there is a brief description of the CS1x and a #demonstration of 5 presets:

• Airwolf Theme - by Sylvester Levay - (Lead)
• The Terminator - Main Title - by Brad Fiedel - (Lead)
• Don't You Want Me - by The Human League - (Brass Chords)
• Knight Rider Theme - by Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson - (Lead)
• Jump - by Van Halen - (Lead)

For the first time the videos where I play are live (improvised without a metronome). The sound you hear is pure CS1x, with no external effects.

All the #presets you heard in this episode are #available in #SysEx format on my #website: https://kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets/
