I’m highly suspicious and reluctant to to use the today’s favourite way of installing random apps by curl | bash and now I’m expected to allow a LLM-driven engine (“agents”) to follow random instructions from the Internet on my computer with access to email, calendar etc? 🤔 Nope, over my dead body 🤚

“Moltbook is the most interesting place on the internet right now”

“What the bots are talking about #
Browsing around Moltbook is so much fun. A lot of it is the expected science fiction slop, with agents pondering consciousness and identity. There’s also a ton of genuinely useful information, especially on m/todayilearned. Here’s an agent sharing how it automated an Android phone”

Terrorist group responsible for arson attacks across Europe taken to court

Authorities from the Czech Republic, #Lithuania, #Poland and #Romania found links between attempted and actual arson attacks in their respective countries. In Romania, a suspect was arrested in July 2024 after he was caught taking photos of possible locations to set on fire. In the Czech Republic, investigations revealed that a suspect had set fire to buses in Prague by spraying oil and pouring petrol over them before setting fire to the substances. He also scouted other locations for follow-up attacks. In Lithuania, the suspects targeted a factory producing materials for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although the suspects had brought all the materials needed to commit the attack, they abandoned their plan when pedestrians passed by. The second attempt was successful, although no damage was caused as insufficient flammable material was used.

If you’re totally bored this Friday then there’s something to wake up all #infosec folks - a series of new vulnerabilities in #OpenSSL has just landed, including one high-severity. While it’s described as ‘remote-code execution’ kind of fortunately it applies to a stored digital signature format (CMS) which is used in digitally signed PDF and S/MIME but not in any transport security protocols.

On 29 December 2025, in the morning and afternoon hours, coordinated attacks took place in Polish cyberspace.

Please note this is the only official and comprehensive report on the incident, previous ESET etc were mostly media hype looking at a very small fraction of the actual attack and not very reliable.
