  • Swedish author and famous pro-Ukraine blogger Lars Wilderäng (Cornucopia) reports today that the Swedish security expert Karl Emil Nikka has revealed that Kagi is using the Kremlin propaganda tool Yandex as a backend for searches. Wilderäng speculates this might mean search terms are leaking to Russia, while others worry about how Kremlin thus can get their talking points into western search results. > Security expert Karl Emil Nikka tells us that the search engine Kagi, popular among tech geeks, uses Russian Yandex, which was introduced after the full-scale invasion. This, of course, gives Russia the opportunity to look at what is searched for via Kagi.

  • Bug bounty denied? Hmmm ... OK, let's see ...
  • troed troed 1w ago 100%

    Despite fixing the issue, Zendesk ultimately chose not to award a bounty for my report. Their reasoning? I had broken HackerOne's disclosure guidelines by sharing the vulnerability with affected companies

    Regardless of everything else they should be kicked out from HackerOne since it's clearly Zendesk not being truthful here.

    Only poor people need to empty the lawnmover of gas. Rich people use Aspen fuel (alkylate) and don't need to.

    That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?

    Wikipedia:

    Google Safe Browsing "conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google's servers on whether the website should be considered malicious".

    If you were just selfhosting services for you and your family, would really browsers be flagging your site?

    Yes. A room with a bunch of stalls and sinks.

    European type stalls that is, floor to ceiling, real doors.

    I don't consider those comments regarding Matrix as problematic. Don't use someone else's server if you don't trust them - including a third party lookup server.
