Operation PowerOFF: DDoS Sites Denied Service (by US, UK, Europol) - Security Boulevard

FBI and Friends Pull the Plugs: Around 50 so-called booter DDoS sites have been nuked by international law enforcement. And seven of their alleged administrators have been charged.

And the @FBI says the operators knew full well what they’re used for.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we service their denials.

Ahoy! More insecure code washes ashore with AlphaCode - ReversingLabs

Below-average code: Alphabet’s DeepMind brings us AlphaCode — another AI code-generating parlor trick. And, just like its large language model cousins, it can spit out buggy code.

As the old saying goes: Garbage in, garbage out.

In this week’s #SSBlogwatch we take out the trash.
