"Ignorance and its handmaidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellow men, breed dictators. And they breed wars. Civilization cannot survive an atomic war. Nothing would be left but a world reduced to rubble. Gone would be man's hope for decency. Gone would be our hope for the greatest age in the history of mankind--an age which I know can harness atomic energy for the welfare of man and not for his destruction." - Harry S. Truman; May 11, 1946

School Kids Get Their Civil Defense Dog Tags



Ah, isn't that cute. Your child's body will either be vaporized or reduced to mush, but the dog tags just might survive, although highly radioactive. Handle with care...lead box not included.

The IBM System/360 Model 50 was a powerful mainframe computer in 1964. It rented for $150,000 a month ($2023), weighed 3 tons, and used 7600 watts. Now an iPhone has about 10 million times more processing power and 10,000 times more memory in the palm of your hand.

The 360 Model 50 can do I/O at 1.25 megabytes/sec over its high speed channel. The iPhone 14 can do I/O over Lightning at 60 megabytes/sec, so raw speed is 48 times faster. Interfacing a room full of peripherals is left as an exercise.

There’s something very disturbing about them repeatedly telling us we’re not seeing what we’re actually seeing every time we go buy groceries!

Emerging cyber threats: Updog Backdoor, RogueRaticate, and Hamas SysJoker...

Key Findings

Check Point Research is actively tracking the evolution of SysJoker, a previously publicly unattributed multi-platform backdoor, which we asses was utilized by a Hamas-affiliated APT to target Israel.

Among the most prominent changes is the shift to Rust language, which indicates the malware code was entirely rewritten, while still maintaining similar functionalities. In addition, the threat actor moved to using OneDrive instead of Google Drive to store dynamic C2 (command and control server) URLs.

Analysis of newly discovered variants of SysJoker revealed ties to previously undisclosed samples of Operation Electric Powder, a set of targeted attacks against Israeli organizations between 2016-2017 that were loosely linked to the threat actor known as Gaza Cybergang.

No. Getting nailed in the head by a meteor is more likely.


Sweet City Woman - The Stampeders (1971)
Well, I'm on my way, to the city life
To a pretty face that shines her light on the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train
I gotta be there on time...
