This is why perfect forward secrecy is mandatory even if you have quantum encryption on your VPN.
As for file storage, even if it’s quantum resistant, we may see a time in the future where you need to periodically re-encrypt your files to keep them a little bit less in danger
LibreOffice?
Proton Docs?
Just saying.
foreign governments to sponsor hacking groups to do this kind of stuff.
Foreign governments, in cahoots with the US
When? Never, because this is overwhelmingly likely to be propaganda to manufacture consent for another war.
Remember 20 years ago when they said Iran was only a few days away from being a nuclear armed power? or when they said that same thing 30 years ago?
They keep trying to make everyone terrified of russia and china and keep talking like they want to kill everyone else on earth.
CNN was one of the outlets that said “WMDs in Iraq!” for my entire childhood and most of my teenage years. That alone should be enough to never trust them again.
A very rare instance of two companies merging together being good news
Proton VPN, Mullvad VPN, iVPN, adguard VPN.
Any of those will do.
they’re going to blame it on either, Iran, Russia, China or…Venezuela…or whatever other country to manufacture consent for another war
So I guess use a VPN that either doesn’t have IPv6 or disable IPv6 in any VPN you have that has that feature
I’m disabled and can’t work, so I troll scammers with my VMs and VOIP.
this is why you need to be running that shit exclusively on your own hardware, don’t allow a third party service to manage that shit for you. It’s not that hard to figure out on your own.
I honestly can’t think of any other way to force shitty antivirus programs to improve. Every boomer I know uses Norton or McAfee and refuses to even hear about other options.
Kaspersky is pretty good at protecting the average user from scammers, because they blacklisted remote desktop programs in their malware database, and now that’s being banned within the US.
The US government’s definition of “compliant” when it comes to something like that will completely cancel out anything good that comes from using Kaspersky, so it’s never going to be un-banned and also be worth using
or! or!..Maybe put more restrictions on which antivirus programs will be able to register with the security center?
Like…if they have a long history of fucking up, they get theirs revoked, if they have a history of quality control failures…like crowdstrike does, they get revoked.
If they want to be able to register with the security center, they need to be audited by several different cybersecurity analysis teams that are all completely independent from each other, preferably from different countries with strong data privacy laws to prove that they’re actually worth using.
For norton and mcAfee and now crowdstrike and a few others that suck, that means they’re going to have to improve massively before anyone will be able to use them…for others like comodo, secureage and other whitelisting applications on par with those two, that means much more business for them.
Like it or not, the majority of the world’s computers, including those of which for critical infrastructure around the world run on windows. If you’re an antivirus company, trusted enough to be able to register with the security center, you better be ready to prove that you’re not going to be worse than using microsoft APT or MS defender with configure defender on MAX…that’s an easy bar to overcome, but many antivirus programs, like norton and McAfee and even Avast/AVG now and Avira…I think Avira is now owned by norton lifelock… insist on limboing under that bar.
If you’re expecting your product to be trusted, it better be fucking trustworthy. Making an antivirus program that works and works well can literally be the difference between people living and dying. Imagine how many life-saving surgeries had to be postponed because of crowdstrike’s lack of QC. imagine how many transplant organ shipments had to be postponed because of this fuckup.
And of course, scammers capitalized on the confusion, put malware links that promised to fix machines destroyed by crowdstike only to install zero-day malware instead…data-stealers, very quiet forms of malware that the vast majority of antivirus products are useless against.
TLDR…GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, people depend on their computers for all kinds of things now.
whitelisting antivirus will close any security holes you have from this.
Crowdstrike has always been a shitty company.
They’ve never cared about making a good product, only about marketing and making things look pretty

looks like google is going bankrupt in a bit
this is why you absolutely must use a VPN on all wifi hotspots all the time. even in your own home

We aren’t consumers, We’re citizens, we’re customers, we’re users, but we aren’t consumers.
Cars consume gasoline and diesel, fire consumes whatever it’s burning, but people are people.
But guys! This isn’t going to be hackable at all! And it’s certainly not going to be a problem for problematic gamblers or anyone with compulsive spending habits
