when i read about Trump's war team accidentally adding a reporter to their private group chat i think of this sentence from a 1933 cable to FDR from berlin: “The majority are woefully ignorant and unprepared for the tasks which they have to carry through every day.”

Trump officials accidentally added The Atlantic's EIC to a Signal group chat about the US' Houthi war plans; Signal is not approved for sharing classified info

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen.  I didn't think it could be real.

‼️ “YubiKeys running firmware prior to v5.7 are vulnerable. Updating firmware on the #YubiKey isn't possible. That leaves all affected YubiKeys permanently vulnerable.” requires physical access and found by researchers, not in “the wild” but still... https://arstechnica.com/... [image]

Researchers detail a side channel attack, which requires ~$11K worth of equipment and can be used to clone all YubiKeys running firmware prior to version 5.7

Sophisticated attack breaks security assurances of the most popular FIDO key.  —  The YubiKey 5, the most widely used hardware token …

“With Binance mostly taking customers in geopolitical adversaries of the U.S. (most notably greater China) and FTX mostly taking them in geopolitical allies (most notably, South Korea, Singapore, and the US)” great piece by @patio11 about #Binance etc. https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/ ... [image]

A look at Binance and CZ's “Bond villain” compliance strategy and how their settlements will allow the US to deflate Binance while minimizing collateral damage

James Bond films have a certain formula to them.  It is more interesting when seen from the perspective of the villain.

🧵1/Ω Thoughts about SBF's testimony today: 1. I never imagined it would be so grimly satisfying to watch a man hang himself before my eyes. The only disappointing part was that today wasn't in front of the jury.

In a testimony without the jury present, SBF says he followed the counsel of lawyers to make critical decisions around passing FTX customer money to Alameda

Former crypto billionaire blames lawyers as court hears first snippets of testimony without jury present

what I learned from the cross examination of Nishad Singh: SBF's lawyer couldn't make a point if you gave him a stick and a sharp knife. trials are 25% facts, 25% the law, and 50% theatre. This guy just sucks all the energy out of the room every time he stands up.

The Verge

In cross-examining Nishad Singh, SBF's defense finally picked holes in a US witness, pointing out that Singh used a $3.7M FTX loan of user funds to buy a house

Nishad Singh looks less reliable.  Is it enough? … Of Sam Bankman-Fried's alleged co-conspirators, Nishad Singh gave the most emotionally compelling testimony.

Colin Wilhelm / The Block :

“We believe that continuing to accept engagements while knowing the client is using the accounting firm to perpetrate a fraud is itself inherently misleading. #coldworld ps in the footnotes SEC explicitly calls out “proof-of-reserves” attestations. only 4 companies have those. [image]

The only smart people in the entire NFT fiasco were the grifter CEOs who made bag holders out of greedy VCs and Ponzi schemers who thought they were the ones doing the pump & dump....
