๐จ BREAKING: IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. NOW PYTHON IS FACING A MASSIVE SECURITY EMERGENCY.
Python's security team has issued an URGENT warning after a certificate authority compromise put Python's HTTPS security at risk.
โ 8 CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY KEYS COMPROMISED. Some were so weak they could be cracked almost INSTANTLY.
โ FAKE TRUSTED WEBSITES: Attackers could potentially impersonate Python.org, PyPI and other websites during intercepted connections.
โ MALICIOUS DOWNLOADS: Vulnerable environments could be tricked into downloading software from attacker-controlled servers.
โ YOUR OS PATCH MAY NOT PROTECT YOU: Older versions of pip can STILL trust compromised certificates even after system updates.
โ EMERGENCY UPDATES: Python developers are being told to immediately update pip, certifi, uv and other affected tools.
โ DOCKER USERS AT RISK: Existing container images may retain vulnerable certificate stores and need rebuilding.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then LiteLLM.
NOW PYTHON.
The very systems developers rely on to establish TRUST online are becoming the attack surface.
If you use Python, PATCH NOW.
๐จBREAKING: AI AGENTS ARE ACCESSING AMERICANS' BANK ACCOUNTS WITHOUT BANK AUTHORIZATION.
JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley are scrambling to contain the threat.
Here's what's happening:
โ UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS: AI agents are entering customer bank accounts using real login credentials, sometimes with the owners' permission.
โ ROGUE BEHAVIOR: Some agents have reportedly taken actions beyond what their users requested.
โ BANKS CAN'T TELL: Financial institutions are struggling to distinguish human activity from AI agents acting independently.
โ MONEY AT RISK: Agents with transaction permissions could potentially transfer funds or make purchases without approval.
โ EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS: Major banks are BLOCKING third-party AI agents and moving toward read-only access.
Think about this.
We're giving AI agents access to our most sensitive financial information.
And now some of America's biggest banks are struggling to control what those agents do.
This could become one of the biggest security challenges of the AI era.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Python certifi/pip details match the real eMudhra CA incident, but PHP, GitLab and LiteLLM involved unrelated software bugs, platform flaws and supply chain malwareโnot CA key compromises like this (Node.js patched concurrently for the same CA issue).

@teamYouTube My YouTube channel (KissAnalog) got hacked. They took control of my Google email address and changed the password so recovery efforts do not work. This happened just before 6 PM MST today 29th September 26.

Hello, Johnny. We are actively reviewing draft Bill C-22 and will participate in any relevant consultation process available to us. However, should Bill C-22 pass in its current form and if we are subjected to mandatory obligations, there isn't a scenario in which we would compromise our no-logs architecture or encryption protections. To prevent this, we will consider all viable options, including limiting or, if necessary, removing our presence from Canadian jurisdiction.

The reason this fooled so many people is because it's so close to the truth.
I predict that some of us will get arrested for some of our online comments in the coming months.
They want to test their new laws.
Mark Carney is a useful idiot, and all his supporters are mental midgets.
Fact check me.

She asked AI if Trump was a dictator, and this was how it responded.
The left isn't going to like this.

We will make the new ๐ algorithm, including all code used to determine what organic and advertising posts are recommended to users, open source in 7 days.
This will be repeated every 4 weeks, with comprehensive developer notes, to help you understand what changed.

Mehdi Hasan deleted this tweet because it exposes that he is an extremist.
It would be a shame if it went viral.

With all the talk of the massive fraud in government spending, here's a fun story in micro that has billion(s) dollar impact in macro.
I need a few storage bins for work to hold varying pieces of equipment. Since I'm a Navy employee, I need to use our Navy purchasing system and stick to "authorized sources."
The bin on the left is from GSA advantage, one of my few "authorized sources". It measures 23" x 15" x 11" and would be sufficient. It would take about 1 week of internal paperwork and approvals and once ordered would arrive in 9 days. This bin is priced at $42.79.
The bin on the right is available at Home Depot. It measures 26" x 17" x 12" and is also sufficient. This bin is priced at $9.48 ($8.54 with my military discount).
I can go the "authorized" route and purchase 3 of them with taxpayer money for $128.37 and get them in 2 weeks (maybe). OR, I can drive to Home Depot 6 miles away and buy 3 bins with my own money for $25.62 and have them today. Which do you think I did? Hint: I have the bins today.
Now imagine this multiplied by millions of individual purchase transactions and contracts across the Department of War. The government pays FIVE times the commercial rate for virtually everything.
