(Long quote, sorry)

Forensic analysis of the attack performed by our independent cyber-security advisors has identified evidence of an external presence on the Library network at 23:29 on Wednesday 25 October 2023, with the first evidence of movement around the network at 23:32. Later that night, at 01:15 on 26 October 2023, the Library’s IT Security Manager was alerted to possible malicious activity on the Library network. This alert came from the Library’s Monitoring System which had automatically blocked the suspect activity at 00:21. The IT Security Manager, among other actions, extended the automatic block beyond the pre-set expiry, undertook a vulnerability scan (which came back with no results) and actively monitored activity log. No repeat activity was seen. The incident was escalated to the IT Infrastructure team at 07:00. Further investigation by the IT Infrastructure Team, including detailed analysis of activity logs, did not identify any obviously malicious activity and they subsequently performed a password reset before unblocking the account later that day.

while we have secure copies of all our digital collections – both born-digital and digitised content, and the metadata that describes it – we have been hampered by the lack of viable infrastructure on which to restore it.

Good morning, nerds! The British Library just dropped its after-incident report on the ransomware attack that has disabled the Library for, uh, months?

Let's dig in.

this is the future of air travel

Corporations will, 99% of the time, take things you bought away from you if...

1. They are not making (enough) money on them any more
2. They can and get away with it

Simply because they want to clear the stage of all competition for their next offering, including old offerings you may be happy with so you don't want the new one.

The 1% that don't do this are orgs that either understand "Good will" and trust have value, or are somehow genuinely not shitheads. They will almost invariably in time be bought out by someone who will do this.

The release->maintain->extinguish cycle is, also, accelerating. So you're getting less time with things before corps try to take them away again.

This dog wants your 12 points (and he will lay on ALL your furniture and whine if you don't vote for him)

Happy women's day to all girls, girlthings, and everyone who celebrates UwU

an exciting personal report from the world of "e-identification" (sweden)

in sweden, life revolves around the "mobile bankid". this is a service owned by major swedish banks that provides a smartphone app equivalent to a state id card, but which can be used to log into websites

I love semantic HTML. Each input field is so easy to describe in a sensible way. It can even be used by plugins and user-scripts.
