Security

I am looking for active Lemmy accounts about software vulnerabilities, CVEs, etc. It could be specific to GHSA, CSAF, PySEC, GSD, Pypi or whatever.

I will use it in a software vulnerability lookup projects: https://github.com/cve-search/vulnerability-lookup/ in order to create Sightings about vulnerabilities.

(it's fine as well if you can provide me Mastodon accounts. I already follow CVE program)

thank you !

hi everyone!! i need ur help with a security matter!! pardon me my bad English. It's my first time buying online I wanna buy something from eBay with my bank card but eBay doesn't provide 3d security which is another layer of security I'm afraid that my personal might get leaked if i used it like that and i don't wanna open a PayPal account since I'm only using this once plus PayPal fees and deductions are high for someone like me and the extra custom charges are already taking a lot of my money that i was planning to buy other things!! what to do know???????? google wallet? deactivating e-commerce international payment after I'm done purchasing ??? pls help me and thank you! btw this is why crypto should take over!!! 🥹😓

here is the talk description, from its page on the schedule for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit China 2024 (which Linux Foundation somehow neglected to put in their youtube upload's description):

In Febuary the Linux kernel community took charge of issuing CVEs for any found vulnerability in their codebase. By doing this, they took away the ability for any random company to assign CVEs in order to make their engineering processes run smoother, and instead have set up a structure for everyone to participate equally.

This talk will go into how the Linux CVE team works, how CVEs are assigned, and how you can properly handle the huge number of new CVEs happening in a simple and secure way.

今年二月，Linux内核社区开始负责为其代码库中发现的任何漏洞发布CVE编号。通过这样做，他们剥夺了任何随机公司分配 CVE 的能力，以便使他们的工程流程更顺畅，取而代之的是建立了一个人人平等参与的结构。

本次演讲将介绍 Linux CVE 团队的工作方式，CVE 的分配过程，以及如何以简单且安全的方式妥善处理大量新出现的 CVE。

Here is a PDF of the slides from Greg's git repo for this talk.

We released version 1.5.0 of the Vulnerability Lookup project! 🎉 (https://github.com/cve-search/vulnerability-lookup/)

This update brings significant new features, improvements, and fixes.

🆕 Notable Changes

We've integrated the Japan Database of Vulnerability Countermeasure Information (JVN DB), correlating security advisories from multiple sources (including NVD, GitHub, and CSAF, etc.) already available in Vulnerability Lookup.

You can now assign tags to comments directly on the website. These tags are stored in the comment's meta field and utilize the MISP Project taxonomy for vulnerabilities. Explore the taxonomy here.

We've enhanced the API to allow users to filter comments and bundles based on data available in the meta JSON field of the objects. This paves the way for leveraging more taxonomies in the future.

More details in the release notes.

Thank you very much to all the contributors and testers! 🙏

As always, feel free to create an account on the main instance operated by CIRCL.

We eagerly await your contributions! 😊

Teacher assaults in schools are a growing concern, impacting both staff safety and the learning environment. These incidents can range from verbal confrontations to physical altercations, making it crucial for schools to have effective safety measures in place. One of the most effective tools to ensure a swift and coordinated response is an emergency response app.

Wihkum, a cutting-edge emergency response app designed specifically for schools, offers a robust solution to this pressing issue. With its features including instant alerts, real-time communication with emergency services, and location tracking, Wihkum helps schools respond promptly to incidents of teacher assault and other emergencies. By integrating Wihkum into your school's safety protocol, you can enhance the security of your staff and create a safer learning environment for students.

Explore how Wihkum can be a vital component in your school's emergency preparedness strategy and contribute to a safer school environment.

Vulnerability Lookup facilitates quick correlation of vulnerabilities from various sources (NIST, GitHub, CSAF-Siemens, CSAF-CISCO, CSAF-CERT-Bund, PySec, VARIoT, etc.), independent of vulnerability IDs, and streamlines the management of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD). Vulnerability Lookup is also a collaborative platform where users can comment on security advisories and create bundles.

A Vulnerability Lookup instance operated by CIRCL is available at https://vulnerability.circl.lu.

1. Recognize the common signs

• Urgent or emotionally appealing language • Requests to send personal or financial information • Unexpected attachments • Untrusted shortened URLs • Email addresses that do not match the supposed sender • Poor writing/misspellings (less common)

2. Resist and report Report suspicious messages by using the “report spam” feature. If the message is designed to resemble an organization you trust, report the message by alerting the organization using their contact information found on their webpage.

I have found also these phishing reporting pages:

SITE: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/

SITE: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/about-this-website/report-scam-website

SITE: https://www.scamwatcher.com/scam/add?type=fraudulent_website

SITE/EMAIL: https://report.netcraft.com/report ( scam [*AT*] netcraft [*D0T*] com - for a phishing/fraud mail forwarding )

EMAIL: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams/report-scam-email#section_1 - forward phish mail to report [*AT*] phishing [*D0T*] gov [*D0T*] uk

EMAIL: https://apwg.org/reportphishing/ ( reportphishing [*AT*] apwg [*D0T*] org - forward phishing mail as attachment if possible )

EMAIL: phishing-report [*AT*] us-cert [*D0T*] gov (phishing message should be sent as attachment possibly or its full source code in a message BODY.)

OTHER: https://www.knowbe4.com/free-phish-alert (email client extension)

feedback or new additions are welcome

3. Delete Delete the message. Don’t reply or click on any attachment or link, including any “unsubscribe” link. The unsubscribe button could also carry a link used for phishing. Just delete
