Anything and everything Amateur Radio and beyond. Heavily into Open Source and SDR, working on a multi band monitor and transmitter.

At this point that’s not unexpected. Given the proliferation of tools generally, if not freely, available, it would be naive to think that the published PoC was the only one in existence.
As a result, the curl project has just changed their CVE policy to publish all with a severity less than HIGH, starting 26 October.

The server has been hugged to death … I wonder why 😁
Just so you know, radio spectrum is globally coordinated because RF doesn’t adhere to political boundaries. The ITU or International Telecommunications Union, a UN body, has been coordinating this since 1865.
It seems that the FCC, representing the USA, has exceeded it’s authority by permitting the spectrum use in space, outside of the borders of the USA. Several countries, and now the EU, have noticed.
Radio amateurs have been ringing alarm bells for at least six years, radio astronomers and dark sky users have also been sounding the alarm, since many, if not most of these satellites emit RF outside of their frequency allocation and it’s getting worse.
Then there’s the Kessler Syndrome, which looks to be closer to occurring with every satellite launch.
So, no, this isn’t about a little European issue at all. This is about humans being able to communicate globally and for all radio spectrum users to be able to operate at all.

If I remember correctly, my understanding is that the fridges were running an ancient version of nginx, had the username admin, no password the password is reset daily to … the current date and based on the information printed before logging in were easily found with a search engine.
The “hack” can apparently be achieved with a single line of bash, using curl to make the connection.
I’ll see if I can find the thread that discussed/announced it, but as an ICT professional, this doesn’t appear to be a “hack”, rather a set of unlocked doors that someone bored enough tried the knob on.
Edit:
Sorry, remembered the password incorrectly.

I can’t tell if this is important or not. I don’t even have the vocabulary to articulate what I don’t understand. The summary here and the “If you’re new here” at the bottom of the article are not helping. No doubt there’s a key concept around buying debt at the scale of a country’s economy is eluding me.
Anyone care to explain?
I think that the fine should represent the actual profit over the lifetime of the offence with a penalty surcharge.
That way the fine represents “crime doesn’t pay”, rather than “crime penalties are a rounding error”.
Whooptie Do.
That fine represents 1% of last year’s gross profit, which was $119.237B.

I’ve been “programming” for over 40 years.
In many ways, if not all, it’s like creating art.
Perhaps it’s best explained by saying that what I do is translate ideas into ephemeral castles constructed of notional bricks written in imaginary languages and presented to an audience with little or no understanding of the fragility of the whole piece.
It’s also what pretty much runs our world, from water filtration through food production, space exploration to shopping, transport and telescopes, research and recreation.
Programming is the first tool that humans came up with that allowed us to explore ideas too large to fit in our brains and even now, being overrun by Assumed Intelligence and Unsupervised Text Extruders, it’s still the most exciting part of humanity.
In many ways a vending machine is precisely that.
This is not limited to CompSci graduates and gets worse the older you get.
It’s also not limited to CompSci.
Wow.
I’ve been processing a couple of billion rows of data on my machine, the fans didn’t even come on. WTF are they teaching “experts” these days, or has Elmo only hired people who claim that they can “wrangle data” and say “yes” ?
Ultimately only you can make the decision about what you want to do with your life.
One thing to consider is, what does failure look like? Not that I’m suggesting that you’d fail, rather, does this help you choose?
In other words, try to find things that distinguishes between the choices. Things that make them different.
You might also ask people already doing the things you’re choosing between. Perhaps you can ask them what they discovered that they liked or hated about their chosen profession.
