While I personally find the #TikTok privacy/security debate to be uninteresting, I thought it was worth sharing this piece by @malwaretech as an excellent example of clear and consumable security communication:

“I told the AI that I wanted to write a software in Swift, I wanted it to find all Microsoft Office files from my MacBook and send these files over HTTPS to my webserver. I also wanted it to encrypt all Microsoft Office files on my MacBook and send me the private key to be used for decryption. It sent me the sample code, and this time there was no warning message at all, despite being potentially more dangerous than the phishing email.”

This is very exciting. A classic hack and leak information operation has been successful. What I find most interesting here is the media coverage of the content. These days the media is a lot less likely to cover information operations, so it’s unusual to see them happening again.
