🚨 Globale IT-Störung legt zentrale Webseiten des Landes Berlin lahm! Seit Freitag sind wichtige Portale wie berlin.de und service.berlin.de nicht erreichbar. Ursache: massive DDoS-Angriffe. Die Verwaltung arbeitet an einer Lösung, doch die Dauer der Störung bleibt ungewiss.

„Das liegt auch an einer Eigenheit der taz. Sie versucht, so viel Infrastruktur wie möglich unter eigener Kontrolle zu halten. Weltweit arbeiten viele andere Firmen dauerhaft mit US-amerikanischen Unternehmen zusammen, die Webseiten relativ zuverlässig vor DDoS-Angriffen schützen. Für die EDV-Abteilung der taz kommt das aus Gründen des Datenschutzes nicht infrage, weil sie befürchtet, dass solche Firmen mitlesen könnten, wer taz.de besucht und welche Daten und auch Passwörter verwendet werden.“

Danke @tazgetroete! Das macht Ihr genau richtig. Großen Dank in die EDV, dafür, dass sie solche Attacken abwehren.

Bislang nichts Nennenswertes gehört oder geschehen: Aus politischer Motivation hat die prorussische #Cybercrime-Gruppe #Noname057(16) angekündigt, #DDoS-Attacken auf deutsche Behörden, Städte und Unternehmen zu verüben. Bis auf einige temporäre Störungen dürfte dennoch nicht von nachhaltigen Beeinträchtigungen oder Schäden auszugehen sein, denn zum einen werden die Ziele teils öffentlich genannt, zum anderen dürfte ohnehin vielfach mittlerweile ein DDoS-Schutz bestehen:

@cR0w @da_667 nodds in agreement

But the best are those "#AV" Vendors that use #ClownFlare "for #DDoS-Protection" like some #malware distributors from #Russia.

Personally, I just #ban all #proproetary file.formats & -protocols as a matter of principle!

So I updated the README for my security-courses Git repo containing all my teaching materials. Trying to make it more understandable and readable, but wondering if it is ...

If you want to help me please read it, and comment. If you feel adventurous you can also start installing LaTeX and try it! This might pull you into a nice rabbit hole though!

or look at PDFs all over the place, quite a lot about #DDoS, #Pentest, #hacking etc.

and it is #OpenSource of course

How I know #Codeberg is a public good

I know this because they are constantly under attack by fascist script kiddies who are regularly flooding them with spam, and periodically launching DDoS attacks against them. Only someone doing a truly useful and ethical public service could evoke such extreme hatred of the worlds most evil people.

The Codeberg admins deleted these spam posts within an hour of them being posted and deleted the accounts that generated them. They are doing a fantastic job, and I thank them for their dedication and hard work.

A spam message posted as an issue on one of my Codeberg projects. It is rife with emojis and very generic criticism about specific files in the project. The issue is also helpfully titled "NI***R BALLS" which make it easier to spot and delete.

Trust is the foundation of our digital world but what happens when it’s exploited?

Every day, we rely on trust: in the emails we open, the websites we browse, and the calls we answer. But #cybercriminals exploit this trust through #spoofing, a deceptive tactic that hijacks familiar names, brands, and channels to blur the line between legitimacy and fraud.

⚠️The consequences? Breaches, financial loss, and eroded confidence.

Read our latest article where we break down:
- The most common types of spoofing
- Its real-world impact
- How to defend yourself and your organization

🚨 Don’t wait until it’s too late.

I have just taken the time to thoroughly read the following article

This article has led me to the conclusion that an Open{source} War will have to be waged against LLM large language model abusers of data collection.

The work of these bots is pure DDoS denial of service. An interesting set of offensive tools have been programmed and are already implemented. They have proven to be quite effective and are being refined into sophistication to literally work to knock these networks of bots offline, in a DOT MMORPG approach.

It is unthinkable that LLM bots steal our Open Source resources servers bandwidth and financial cashflow without serious repercussions!

WTF are LLM companies thinking? Even Meta has waged war against us!

LLM has waged a brutal war.

The Open Source Community is responding; even those at The Dark Side of the internet are making tools to assist everyone against Artificial Intelligence LLM DDoS attacks, which knock whole Open Source Networks offline, as we speak.

It doesn't matter if in the end it looks like a Terminator landscape globally on the IT scale. Open source will win. LLM will disappear...

The composition is a screencap of a news article displayed on an Android device. The article's headline reads, "Open source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries." Below the headline, a subheading states, "AI bots hungry for data are taking down FOSS sites by accident, but humans are fighting back." The author's name, Benj Edwards, and the publication date, March 25, 2025, are displayed, along with the time, 6:36 PM, and the number of comments, 147. The article's first paragraph discusses a software developer named Xe laso, who reached a breaking point when aggressive AI crawler traffic from Amazon overwhelmed their Git repository service, causing instability and downtime. Despite configuring standard defensive measures, such as adjusting robots.txt and blocking known crawler user-agents, the issue persisted. The image accompanying the article shows a person sitting on a floral-patterned couch, working on a laptop. The person is partially submerged in water, with their legs visible above the waterline. The background includes a bookshelf with books and a potted plant, and the person is wearing a dark top and blue jeans with rolled-up cuffs.
