We spend about 90 Billion dollars on corporate welfare each year.

90 Billion.

Yeah but let's focus on the rounding errors.

The Department of Government Efficiency is going to increase the efficacy of giving taxpayer money to the ultra wealthy.

So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking

So you checked later and slots opened up which is...normal? And you didn't take it?

And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?

I don't get it.

I mean....that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.

Jeez there's been a shit ton of astroturfing happening lately. I guess Lemmy is finally big enough to be targeted by these guys.

How much do you all get paid? I'm interested.

New AMD SinkClose flaw helps install nearly undetectable malware in c/[email protected]

[–] BigSadDad 7 points 3 months ago

For everyone who's posting but didn't actually read the CVE...

You need Malware with Kernel level access Already. Besides Anti Cheat for modern games, if you have malware with Kernel level access you're already really fucked.

In addition, this just appears to be a way for that Kernel malware to persist in a device. It's not impossible to detect. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Windows Defender signatures for malware using it within the month.

I haven't seen the Def Con presentation, but the CVE is a "Maybe". There is no PoC (Proof of Concept, showing that an exploit works)...yet. keep an eye on that.

The CVE claims this "Could Maybe" allow based on logic, but none of the sources i found showed anyone actually using it. Maybe the Def Con presentation will. But unless I see someone post a repeatable exploit in a real world scenario, it feels superficial.

I want to reiterate that this IS a flaw and it IS a problem. But I would highly doubt you, rando consumer, will be affected.

Mitigations are to not be dumb on the Internet. Keep your browser updated and make sure your sensitive data is backed up and encrypted, basic stuff.

Happy to go in to it more. This is my jam.
