A federal judge has issued an order forbidding immigration officials from re-detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia,
a Maryland father who was illegally deported to a super-prison in El Salvador earlier this year.
Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant and U.S. legal resident, was deported in March, when the Trump administration wrongly alleged, without evidence, that he was associated with the MS-13 gang. When it became clear that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was improper, the administrati…

📊 Risk assessment: For most use cases (server admin, development, non-sensitive data), the practical risk is low. Your Docker logs and configs likely won't be
valuable in 15 years. However, healthcare, finance, and government sectors should act now.
⚙️ Quick fix: Suppress the warning by adding LogLevel ERROR to ~/.ssh/config for specific hosts. Better solution: Enable post-quantum key exchange on your SSH

Interesting article from #cybersecurity researchers at ITRes on yet another flavor of “EDR silencer” tactics, this time using a maliciously activated VPN connection that “sinks” or blocks traffic to EDR telemetry endpoints. Helpfully, they include detection and prevention techniques too, including likely the best idea, restricting by technical policy who can create VPN profiles.
This isn't going away.
