=== /cyb/ News:
>Silicon Valley Wants to Put a Chip in Your Brain
https://archive.is/h70ti
>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman mused way back in 2017 that “a merge is probably our best-case scenario” for survival after the emergence of superhuman AI. Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is a vocal advocate of “transhumanism.”
>The BCI market, currently sitting at around $350 million, is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2035, according to Future Market Insights. That doesn’t include companies like the one Phoenix founded, named Vicarious, which sought to use core principles in the brain to build AI that could act like humans. Phoenix, who is now a venture capitalist, sold his company to Alphabet in 2022, after it was funded to the tune of $250 million by investors including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The broader neurotechnology market is projected to expand to $52 billion by 2032, according to the Neurorights Foundation.
>In an interview, Field said the company is selling technology that other companies can use to collect neural data and train large language models on.
>But as neurotechnology companies become more consumer-oriented and less focused on clinical trials, it’s not entirely clear what information they are allowed to collect from their users. A small group of lawyers, scientists and advocates are now trying to protect user data from being bought and sold without their consent. That is, if they can get on the same page with one another.

This has been debunked multiple times:
>There was a slowdown across all boards in 2021-22, combined with the fact that /psg/ started in 2021 as well, there just weren't enough posters to keep the thread going with consistency. (This is why /psg/ and /cyb/ being merged has been more stable.) It's not like there were *no* /cyb/ threads at all back then either, merely the frequency was just lower. That's not an incident, just your autism trying to find something where there isn't anything.

Gmail isn't a prison, it doesn't restrict how I live my life. Gmail has been a reliable store for my emails for years now. As for privacy, maybe Google has programs sifting through my emails to target ads at me, but I doubt some guy at Google is checking my emails and reading them. Even if they were, my emails are boring anyway. Gmail just works for me.
>>

>>108906178
I think there are bigger worries in life. Computer security I think is more important. For example, keeping your OS updated, preferably encrypting your drives, using strong unique passwords (including for your email service such as Gmail).

Shills say Proton is bad because they have to give up what little non-E2EE data they have (such as your payment info) when served with a valid Swiss court order.
So when a fag has so much bad opsec that they use a credit card to pay for a Proton account then send emails discussing terrorism or CSAM outside Proton without PGP, and they rightfully get fucked over, shills claim Proton glows harder than Google.

anons, i'm experimenting with osint and i feel like i'm at a dead end. i started with a reddit account, and an email address, and now have: a location (medium-sized city, <350k), an old (2010) photo (but also, not 100% certainly its of the target), a profile picture used to overwrite a bunch of accounts + a pseudonym that was overwritten on all connected accounts (all found via various tools). the reddit account doesn't give me anything, but it's recently created and suddenly comments in a few places very regularly, which makes me think there must have been a previous account before this one, but i think trying to find that is a super last resort, and may as well be a dead end. this person has really covered their trail well, with the exception of a google review that gives up their location. i don't know how to use this location to get any further though, if i could just like aggregate social media in this region i feel like i could find them via facial pattern, even then they may have scrubbed normie-socials too. any ideas? will check back tomorrow on this thread.

Here's a bunch of arguments against Gmail
https://stallman.org/google.html
>>
>>108970165
I'm too lazy to read that. The point is that Gmail works. I don't really care about privacymaxxing every single aspect of my life. As I said in an earlier post, I'm more concerned about a reasonable level of computer security than I am about extreme privacy. By security I mean installing updates, having strong passwords, encrypting drives preferably, that sort of thing.
>>
>>
>>108970218
If someone were to give a quick point in favour of their position then fair enough, I can read that, but lazily saying "here's a webpage, go and read the entire thing" is ridiculous. If you're not going to make the effort to engage in conversation then why should I make the effort to read a massive webpage?
Anyway whatever, we can agree to disagree. I understand not everybody loves Google. For me Gmail just works so whatever.

They all create an individual pattern w dots that allows LE to find the exact printer model tied to a purchase. We’re past WiFi connectivity and are in an age of infrared heat mapping and drone footage for social engineering and lawfare. Also third parties colluding with the NSA.

Maybe a stupid question
Does proton care of I have more than 1 account?
Made a personal mail on my phone, but it lacks stuff there ( the proxy id mail creation for example)
but I already have my VPN account on my pc since last year, and I use that for secondary/hobby stuff,dunno if they can get locked for some reason if I open that mail account on my pc once in a while,also cant get the recovery words thing as well here

I have a brother printer. what do I do to get a firewall I've never set one up on my router? can't I just block the printers up from internet access, or what if I get one with USB connection, I was thinking of getting a brother printer

I researched this a whole ago and I think the answer is you can have two personal accounts on free tier, and unlimited if they're paid
>>

>>108990930
TOS
9 - Having multiple free Accounts (e.g. creating bulk signups, creating and/or operating a large number of free Accounts for a single organization or individual);
So I guess its fine, specially if they are mainly on different devices, I dont plan to use VPN on my phone anyway,
but there's also
14 .-Abusive registrations of email addresses (including aliases) for third-party services;
15.-Using a free account email address (including aliases) for the unique purpose of registering to third-party user
these seems unenforceable, unless it's one of those autists creating free account every month on X website, or making and deleting aliases constantly (they are limited to 10 a year iirc)

Set up a PC with at least 2 Ethernet ports and install Smoothwall. This is so efficient that even a 20 year old PC can handle the load.
Then configure the system so that the printer cannot contact anything outside your home but whatever you need within your home. The system logs traffic and can tell you if the printer attenmpts to slip a package outside your home net.
If anyone can recommend a better deep paxckage inspecting firewall, please let me know.

>Murdoch, a professor of security engineering and head of the Information Security Research Group at University College London, presented evidence that a 176-bit GPS sequence labelled “Subframe 4, Page 17” is encrypted material from the Pentagon’s Over-the-Air Distribution (OTAD) network, which delivers cryptographic keys to military personnel around the world.

Why cyberpunks need their own rubidium clock:
>Russia Has Been Jamming GPS from Space Since 2019
https://insidegnss.com/russia-has-been-jamming-gps-from-space-since-20 19/
>It details how, after almost two years of effort, they were able to identify a constellation of Russian early warning satellites in Molniya (“lightning”) orbits as the source of a series of difficult-to-detect disruptions to GPS signals.
>The story of this jammer hunt in space began in September 2024. During a presentation to the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee in Baltimore, Humphreys opined “There is every reason to believe China’s BeiDou global navigation satellite system has the ability to imitate American GPS signals and those of Europe’s Galileo,”
>Also, the signals interfering with GPS are not exactly astride the L1 frequency but are slightly offset. They are centered at 1577.5 MHz, about 2 MHz above the GPS L1 center frequency. This may be an effort to test the capability while avoiding detection.
>It is clear that one of this constellation’s primary capabilities is disruption and denial of America’s GPS and China’s Bei Dou navigation systems, should the Kremlin decide to do so. A slight change in frequency and an increase in transmitted power is all that is needed to prevent reception across continental size areas.

In cybersecurity, there is such a thing as threat modeling. You dont handle everything as trying to prevent nation-state attacks. Reason being, it will cripple you to try to do so. Also, if your looking up high all the time, your likely to get punched in the dick by a midget if the only people interested in harming you was midgets.

Using food delivery platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub introduces significant privacy risks by turning your intimate daily routines into highly monetized corporate data. Beyond tracking your standard contact and payment information, these applications routinely collect precise, real-world geolocation data that often monitors your movements well after your food arrives. By logging exactly what you eat, when you order, and your specific dietary restrictions, these companies construct a detailed psychological and behavioral profile of your lifestyle. This goldmine of personal data is frequently shared with third-party advertising networks via integrated tracking pixels, resulting in hyper-targeted ads that follow you across the internet based on your private eating habits. Furthermore, because these digital profiles are tied directly to your physical front door, any potential corporate data breach or third-party vendor hack exposes incredibly sensitive information like your exact home address and daily schedule to cybercriminals. Ultimately, using these services means trading the fundamental privacy of your own home and personal health choices for sheer convenience.

Could someone offer some career advice and share their opinion?
Which /sec/ career would be more future proof considering the ongoing/increasing prevalence of LLMs?
Everything red teaming seems to be next in line with SWE in terms of automation and job replacement. Companies seem to also have less budget to spend on security audits and pen tests. At the same time, blue teaming jobs look more in demand considering the media fear mongering about "super AGI killer-malware" and the companies' need for some dude providing DFIR when the underfunded IT department fucked up.
