1·8 days agoOh, yes that does change the meaning.
Hey man, the tech literate people were saying this:
It’s the VCs and the marketing people who were pushing cloud services as the next big thing.
9·11 days agoAWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there’s a lot of old legacy shit running on it.
Yup, AWS is legacy cloud. It was only recently that they set encryption by default on S3 buckets, before that they were just in the clear by default.
Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.
It’s never important until suddenly it’s the most important thing in the world.
33·11 days agoFlatpaks are better than Snaps, but properly maintained dependency trees and SBOMs are best, by a wide margin.
Yeah, but proper failover and recovery requires additional infrastructure, and that costs money.
Hopefully a bunch of risk management people are writing I-told-you-so emails to C-suites right now.
Damn man, you are really bending over backward to defend this guy… do you owe him money or something?
Roblox didn’t just “make it easy”, it’s their entire business model, which is the problem. Watch the videos. The discussion isn’t about how much of a percentage Roblox takes, it’s about how kids basically get pressured to work in digital sweatshops to create the content which is what Roblox sells.
It’s child exploitation for profit:

No one should patronize Roblox. They exploit child labor for profit:

Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video. So We Dug Deeper.
When you hear “Roblox” you should think “child exploitation”.
Because if it’s doing this it’s a malicious app….
OK, how would you know?
Google also said they’ve found zero apps doing this.
So what? There are millions of apps on the Play store, they aren’t all being reviewed with this level of scrutiny. This means basically nothing.
What you’re looking for is assistive technology. One of these options might work, depending on how much mobility she has: https://www.ucdenver.edu/center-for-innovative-design-and-engineering/community-engagement/colorado-assistive-technology-act-program/technology-and-transition-to-employment/alternative-mice
This one also looks interesting: https://dextrowaredevices.com/mouseware/ but I’m not sure how available it is outside of India. Theoretically it’s plug-and-play for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS, which would be very convenient. She might be able to just pick YouTube videos for herself.
Assistive technology can be expensive but there are often government subsidies available for it, and maybe health insurance coverage.
This article doesn’t really address that. I don’t think there’s any indication that this particular vulnerability is related to nation-state hacking.
I’m sure there are apps that have malware built in yes, but I mean the MITM approach during an app download that you were describing.
