A member of the US embassy staff in China has reported to have suffered a "mild brain injury" after experiencing a abnormal sound. Similar incidents in Cuba lead the US to depopulate its diplomatic mission in that country. That these incidents keep happening in US embassies raises the possibility that various surveillance and electronic warfare equipment maintained by the US empire in its embassies has adverse effects on human health.

New CPU Speculative Execution Flaws Just Keep Rolling In
Yet another vulnerability baked into the "speculative execution" optimizations bundled with many contemporary CPUs has been documented (archived). Expect this trend to continue well into the future.
Another Set Of "Undocumented Default Static User Credentials" Spotted In Cisco Gear
In the latest round of Cisco patches, the known USG.NSA collaborators included a patch for "CVE-2018-0222" a intentionally placed yet undocumented administrator account with fixed credentials in Cisco's Digital Network Architecture Center (archived).
S/MIME And Poor OpenPGP Email Client Behavior Leak Plaintext
Today disclosure of two plaintext leaking behaviors in email clients handling OpenPGP and S/MIME encrypted messages has been released (archived). The vulnerability affecting S/MIME is baked into the S/MIME standard and may only be mitigated by abandoning S/MIME, no other mitigation is possible. Meanwhile the plaintext leaking behavior affecting OpenPGP encrypted emails requires certain common but very stupid behavior on the part of an email client and the user allowing the email client to be involved in decrypting the message.
The attack in OpenPGP encrypted email involves the message being molested on the wire in such a way the plaintext metadata surrounding the cyphertext is modified to engage your typical email client's HTML rendering engine. If the email client is allowed to be involved in decrypting the cyphertext as is common with various client "plugins", the email client can "phone home" the plaintext after decryption to the message's molester according to the spurious instructions delivered to the HTML rendering engine. The mitigation for this vulnerability is hygiene and not allowing your email client to be involved in cryptographic operations beyond sending and recieving cyphertext blobs encrypted and decrypted elsewhere.
Pantsuit Media Tries To Dethrone #WOKE Voice of a Generation Kanye West With Forced Meme
With Kanye West, the #WOKE voice of a generation flying a Make America Great Again banner, mainstream Pantsuit outlets have launched an all out forced meme campaign to replace Kanye with a more obedient representative of Black America. For this pupose Pantsuit has settled on Donald Glover, a former NBC sitcom writer thoroughly indoctrinated in Pantsuit dogma. Continue reading
Pantsuit Unicef "Humanitarian" Caught Buggering Street Kids
Peter Dalglish, a Canadian pantsuit "humanitarian" with ties to several UN "aid" programs (archived), was arrested by police in Nepal for buggering two boys aged 12 and 14 (archived). In 1987 Dalgish founded his own NGO aid organization for the alleged purpose of teaching street kids "entrepreneurship". Circumstances suggest Dalgish used his "humanitarian" work as cover to fulfill his dreams of being an intercontinental child sex predator.
When will pantsuit aligned "humanitarians" finally address the endemic child trafficking and little boy buggering that happens within their ranks?
US Pentagon Investigation: No One To Blame For Green Beret Deaths In Niger
An investigation by the United States Department of Defense has found that there is "no one" the Department can blame for the deaths of four Green Berets in Niger (archived). No single failure or deficiency could be identified according to the Pentagon.
Wife Initiated Pantsuit Code Of Conduct Hypocrisy Leads To LLVM Developer Departure
LLVM developer Rafael Avila de Espindola has quit the project after the "community" adopted a regressive code of conduct and promptly began partnering with discriminatory1 organizations in violation of that same code of conduct (archived). A fellow LLVM contributor recognizing the hypocrisy offered:
What kind of idiot thinks hundreds of millions of highly diverse people (ethnically, religiously, culturally) can all be unfairly privileged at once? There's something disgustingly racist about the idea that white people are so awesome as to never have conflicts with each other.
Mealy mouthed LLVM creator Chris Lattner offered the following in defense of his wife's decision to have the LLVM Foundation partner with an organization openly discriminating against Whites and Asians:
I am definitely sad to lose Rafael from the LLVM project, but it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community.
The cited organization denies opportunities to North American Whites and Asians and denies opportunities to normal-gendered men internationally. ↩
Even "Locked" Microsoft Windows Computers Vulerable to BSOD Crash On USB Insertion
Code has been published which will induce an iconic "Blue Screen Of Death" crash on running Microsoft Windows installations (archived). The vulnerability lives in Window's handling of filesystems in Microsoft's own NTFS format, and can be triggered by inserting a USB drive with an exploit triggering NFTS filesystem into a running Windows computer, even if it is "locked" without any active users logged in.
While this particular trigger for the crash behavior appears to have been patched in recent Windows 10 builds, it likely lives on with a slightly more guarded trigger. It definitely lives on in an unknown number of surviving embedded Windows XP and Windows 7 installations.
Tick Tock Still Dead – Intel Remains Stalled Out At 14 nm Node Process Another Year
Reports are emerging that Intel is once again delaying its move from a 14 nm to 10 nm node process (archived) and the firm's once steady tick tock rhythm is still dead. The firm claims to be shipping some 10 nm parts this year for select customers, but yield issues are stalling mass production until at least 2019. Intel initially planned to ship 10 nm parts in 2016.
