  • Signals of Trouble: Multiple Russia-Aligned Threat Actors Actively Targeting Signal Messenger | Google Cloud Blog

    Jump

  • Notably, this device-linking concept of operations has proven to be a low-signature form of initial access due to the lack of centralized, technology-driven detections and defenses that can be used to monitor for account compromise via newly linked devices; when successful, there is a high risk that a compromise can go unnoticed for extended periods of time.

    Well, hopefully that gets fixed soon.

  • "Building a Safer Matrix" - an update from The Matrix.org Foundation about "Trust & Safety", content moderation, and their evolving anti-abuse efforts

    Jump

  • Here ya go

    Title: Building a Safer Matrix

    • Need for Secure Communication: The document emphasizes the growing necessity for secure communication due to increasing security breaches and geopolitical tensions, highlighting the importance of privacy for vulnerable groups.
    • Matrix's Decentralized Nature: Matrix is designed as a decentralized communication protocol, allowing organizations to run their own servers while connecting to a broader network, enhancing user control and privacy.
    • Foundation's Role: The Matrix.org Foundation, established as a non-profit, oversees the protocol's development and ensures the safety of the public Matrix network, funded by donations from members.
    • Addressing Abuse: The Foundation acknowledges the potential for abuse within the platform and has implemented concrete anti-abuse measures, contrasting with many other encrypted messengers that often avoid responsibility.
    • Safety Team Operations: The Foundation has a dedicated Safety team that actively investigates and removes harmful content, facing significant mental health challenges due to the nature of the content they handle.
    • Safety Tooling: Matrix employs a combination of proactive and reactive strategies to combat online harms, including reporting systems, moderation tools, and engagement with law enforcement and civil society.
    • Focus on Child Exploitation: A significant focus of the safety efforts is on combating child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA), involving collaborations with various organizations and implementing detection technologies.
    • Recent Updates and Improvements: The Foundation has made recent advancements in safety tooling, including account suspension capabilities and measures to prevent the misuse of Matrix as a content distribution network.
    • Community Engagement: The document highlights the importance of community-driven initiatives and collaborations with external groups to enhance safety and moderation efforts within the Matrix ecosystem.
    • Future Goals: The Foundation aims to improve reporting systems, increase transparency through regular reports, and enhance user engagement in safety practices, while continuing to uphold user privacy and security.

  • Even if recaptcha is solvable by bots, what you're effectively doing is making it more expensive to run these bots at scale, which is a deterrent and necessary.

    Now there's definitely ways to do it without tracking user data, but I doubt they'll give up that control without being forced

  • Tired of spotty internet, Bolivians are smuggling in Starlink.

    Jump

  • Only time I've ever used starlink was as a fallback while I was working remote out of Mexico for a few months and it was ridiculously slow compared to telmex. Was nice having it as a backup though incase the telmex went down. My travel router failed over before zoom calls would disconnect 🤠

  • You can literally monitor the outbound DNS on a pixel with graphene and no apps and you'll see zero DNS requests to any Google servers. Quit spredding FUD

    Jump

  • Nah I rolled my own and didn't publish it so that's probably why haha.

    Have you been using this one?

    On my app I don't get rich notifications only "you may have a new message". Havent looked into it at all though, only set this up like last week

    Lol there is a setting in molly itself for rich notifs

  • I got an initial verification code and haven't heard from signal since. Signal doesn't support totp or SMS 2fa. But has a pin code set along with your password. A new device that is added doesn't have access to old messages unless you have the correct seed key iirc

  • Sure but it allows VOIP numbers. I'm using a jmp.chat number with it just fine.

  • Yep, I run my own mollysocket + ntfy server.

    Essentially, molly socket functions as another device, when it recieves a notif, it pings your specified unified push server, which then queues up a notification for the ntfy app on your device.

    You don't need to run your own unified push server, and can just use one of the main ones, but I figured I might as well.

    I personally have them hosted on fly.io for free via the legacy hobby plan.

    Now all I need to do is get more of my friends to message me on it 🤣
