    Eric paints and Jon drives. SparkKitty is a new mobile malware searching photo libraries for crypto passphrases, and when is a 16 billion password breach not a breach. Honda has been quietly working on its own rocket, and the JWST images its first new exoplanet.

    Jun 14 2025

    Summer is here. WWDC has ... liquid glass? And many android features, evidently. Vibe coding is the "remarkably insecure" inevitable future, and a simple (dumb?) github policy bypass. For fun there's a new season of Phineas and Ferb on Disney+, and researchers discover a way to fully expose HIV in white blood cells.

    Springtime work and bathroom 'renovations'. Why prompts are the new IOCs and a tool to detect malicious prompts, a guilty plea in the PowerSchool breach from last year, and sanctions against a Philippines based company involved in pig butchering scams. For fun we have the Tianwen-2 launch to collect asteroid samples, and a desktop UV printer on kickstarter that looks amazing.

The damages for the NSO hack of WhatsApp (6 years ago!) are now in, how passkeys work, and the breach of the Signal Clone in widespread use by the US Government. A Soviet satellite launched more than 50 years ago crashes back to earth (Finally?!), and livestreaming a volcano off the Oregon coast.
