New Release: #TorBrowser 14.0
cybersecurity
The New Oil is not slowing down in 2025, and you can help us keep going!
1. Regularly flags payments to subscription services as potential fraud even though I've used them for years, paying with the same debit card, and in spite of the fact that I've indicated many times that I trust these services; and
2. Has never identified a real instance of fraud
Whatever they're doing to detect potential fraud, it has a large false positive rate and does not seem adaptive (at least in my case). It's especially odd to me that this bank asks if I've authorized transactions it flagged as potentially fraudulent, I indicate no, this is not fraud, and yet the system continues to flag transactions with the same vendor as potentially fraudulent. I'm giving it a reinforcement signal that couldn't be more clear!
Edit: this post is not a request for banking or financial advice, nor an invitation to critique my choices. I'm venting about what seems to be a poor algorithm and if you have any comments or insights into that particular topic I'm happy to hear them.

Habt ihr Interesse an einer etwas anderen Sicherheitskonferenz?
#BoostWelcome
Dann schaut euch mal die #osco25 an. Sie findet vom 2-5 Oktober in Rückersbach statt und die Registrierung ist noch offen
https://opensecurityconference.org/
Warum?
Die @OSCo hat das Ziel divers und inklusiv zu sein. Das schließt auch unterschiedliche Wissens- und Erfahrungsstände mit ein. Sie ist also nicht nur für Sicherheitsexpert*innen oder für Menschen die schon lange im Sicherheitsbereich arbeiten.
Das #OpenSpace Format ermöglicht nicht nur Expert*inne-Präsentationen, sondern es können "Halbwissen"-Themen* oder auch einfach Fragen behandelt werden. Da Vorträge nicht Monate im Voraus eingereicht werden müssen sondern die Agenda von den Teilnehmenden gemeinsam erstellt wird, können auch brandaktuelle Themen behandelt werden.
Die Konferenz ist nicht-komerziell, sprich die Gesamtkosten werden zwischen den Teilnehmenden (inklusive Organisator*innen) aufgeteilt. Die Konsten enthalten die Übernachtung und Verpflegung im Tagungshotel.
Und ja, es gibt auch Sponsoren die Teile der Kosten übernehmen.
Es ist aber nicht alles anders. Es gibt auch Keynotes z.B. von @bkastl ("History repeating itself") und Mireia Cano ("Building an AppSec Program from Scratch")
Wenn es euch interessiert registriert euch unter https://register.opensecurityconference.org/
Are you interested in a different kind of security conference?
Then take a look at the Open Security Conference (@OSCo). #osco25 takes place from October 2 to 5 in Rückersbach (Germany near Frankfurt) and registration is still open at https://opensecurityconference.org/.
(this is an English version of the original German thread https://infosec.exchange/@realn2s/114936419689473030)
Why?
The Open Security Conference aims to be diverse and inclusive. This also includes different levels of knowledge and experience.
It is therefore not only for security experts or for people who have (already) worked in the security sector for a long time,
but also for people who are interested in security or want to get into the field.
The #OpenSpace format not only enables expert presentations,
but also non-expert topics or questions as session topics. Sessions are not resticted to presentations, they can be interactive, collaborative, workshops or basically anything else.
Since topics do not have to be submitted months in advance,
but the agenda is created jointly by the participants, hot topics can also be covered.
The conference is non-commercial, i.e. the total costs are shared between the participants (including the organizers).
The costs include accommodation and meals in the conference hotel.
And yes, there are also sponsors who cover part of the costs.
But not everything is different.
There are great keynotes e.g. by @bkastl ("History repeating itself") and Mireia Cano ("Building an AppSec Program from Scratch").

Do you like watching movies and/or documentaries about hackers and cyber security as much as I do?
Then I have something for you.
I have created a list of "Cyber-Security and Hacker related Documentaries". Anyone can use it, anyone can join in to contribute to it.
Go this way:

To let this list grow with more interesting documentaries every boost is highly appreciated.
