>I was fascinated to learn while visiting they consider themselves ‘at war’
fun fact, Japan and Russia are technically in a state of war too. The World War II hasn't ended. They have never signed a treaty over the Kuril Islands, and they both claim them.
>For me a number station needs sends a message to be a number station, not a key.
We don't know that it's a key that's being sent. For all we know, it could be just random data. Obviously it's most likely not random data, but ciphertext. Either way, we have no idea what the message is.

This is the 3rd time this has happened in roughly 2 decades by the way.
ppc/ppc64 -> x86_64
x86_64 -> x64 only
x64 -> arm64
I much prefer Apple just forcing the developers to update their apps. Perhaps it’s just me though.
Microsoft hasn’t particuarly cared about consumers pirating Windows for more than a decade. I’m pretty sure they make close to 0 money off Windows licensing to consumers.
Which just reinforces my point. The patch was available, therefore, where the exploit lies was also available.
Linux kernel is one of the most audited open-source projects ever. I guarantee you that someone did reverse the patch.
> but forgot to tell the distros
Probably an oversight, but irrelevant. The bug was in the linux kernel. It's insane to suggest that they should have notified everyone shipping the linux kernel.
Not true, if there’s any evidence of the exploit being used in the wild, it’s much more responsible to release immediately.
Considering that the patches have been available for a while, someone surely reversed what they were for and was actually exploiting this in the wild.
In the age of AI, I’d argue that “responsible disclosure” is dead. Arguably even in closed source projects. Just ask Claude to do a diff between the previous version and to see whether anything fixed in there could have had security implications.
We’re not there yet, but very soon the only way to responsibly disclose a vulnerability will be immediately.
lol. Barely.
