Install Linux Mint (coming from iOS this Linux distro will be a soft landing and it is getting traction)

Signal Messenger is Open Source as SimpleX, more over, both have upgraded their encryption to level of quantum resistant... This matters, most believe that if you are using a service that is e2ee you are good, but you are not. Why? Cyber Criminals and I will assume most three letter agencies are collecting all raw data they can from centralized services/servers and storing them for future decryption, clearly, if your cloud service is not upgraded or your messenger service is not resistant, all the data will be open for cyber criminals and agencies to look at... I keep advising family, friends and clients, stay away from centralized services if possible and if not, verify they are upgraded if they use encryption

Yes, npub.cash is not generating invoices, tried to swap with Minibits, same issue...

Nice move, hopefully Elon Musk will be next to let the public know the names of the politicians pushing to remove our free speech. And the cherry of the pie, the rules do not apply to politicians... The irony, their affairs should be public, yet they do want privacy to cover their corruption.

🚨 Harden your Windows systems using free, trusted open-source tools that cover audit, configuration, and monitoring. You don't need enterprise tools to raise your defense baseline — just a few solid steps. Quick Actions (Under 30 Minutes): • Run Hardentools — disable unsafe defaults instantly. • Use CIS-CAT Lite — identify missing patches, open RDP, or weak policies. • Check Local Admins — remove unused accounts, deploy LAPS for password rotation. • Turn On Logging — enable PowerShell, Windows Defender, and Audit Policy logs. • Run WinAudit — export a report and compare it weekly for unauthorized changes. • Scan with Wazuh or OpenVAS — look for outdated software or exposed services. Key Risks to Watch: 🔑 Reused or shared admin passwords 🌐 Open RDP/SMB without firewall or NLA ⚙️ Old PowerShell versions without logging 🧩 Users running with local admin rights 🪟 Missing Defender Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules 📦 Unpatched or unsigned software from third-party repos

🚨 Mobile Apps Leak Data — New findings from Zimperium have revealed that one in three Android apps and more than half of iOS apps leak sensitive data. Nearly half of mobile apps contain hard-coded secrets such as API keys Keep your mobile clean, remove all apps not really needed and be mindful of the ones you install and keep.

🚨 A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during startup and passing all trust checks," researchers Jesse De Meulemeester, David Oswald, Ingrid And just like that billions invested in HW security gone, back to the drawing table for Intel and AMD, and those researchers... making this public before a solution is deployed, not cool.

🚨 Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Android banking trojan called Datzbro that can conduct device takeover (DTO) attacks and perform fraudulent transactions by preying on the elderly. Take time and educate your elders.
