ICANN reserves .internal for private use at the DNS level

“The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has agreed to reserve the .internal top-level domain so it can become the equivalent to using the 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0 and 192.168.0.0 IPv4 address blocks for internal networks.

Those blocks are reserved for private use by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which requires they never appear on the public internet.

As The Register reported when we spotted the proposal last January, ICANN wanted something similar but for DNS, by defining a top-level domain that would never be delegated in the global domain name system (DNS) root.”

Google Chrome and FireFox browsers vulnerable to invisible and malicious local storage access
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/google-chrome-firefox-browsers...

MSI har ett eget säkerhetshål i SMM, separat från det som AMD har. Detta påverkar moderkort för Intel-processorer också, ett antal generationer bakåt. CVEs ranking (8.2) är lite högre än AMD-felen (7.5) och har därtill lägre "attack complexity", så det är nog värt att rapportera om.

Cred till @evil penguin då jag inte sett något om detta bortsett från hans inlägg.

Fixar finns till åtminstone vissa moderkort, inkl en del som inte har släppt fix för AMD-problemet ännu.

Policing by design: the latest EU surveillance plan
https://edri.org/our-work/policing-by-design-the-latest-eu-su...

The EU should reintroduce mass telecommunications surveillance and create backdoors to encrypted data, a new plan drafted in secret by police and security officials says. To do so, close coordination between the state and industry would be required, to ensure what the plan calls “lawful access by design.” The plan repeats demands made many times over the years by officials, and may find a warm reception from the incoming European Commission.
