Alastair MacGibbon, head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre said, "You might know of some of their entry points and some of the ways they’ve grafted themselves into a system and you can take action against those and do things like the password reset,"

The article stinks of a phishing attack and it sounds like they haven't figured out 2FA yet. Which says a lot about his claims of who could be responsible. Who remembers Comodo?

What is interesting about actual nation state attacks now taking place is if the locales, IPs, timezones, code snippets point to say; China. Well then they've probably been set up. Unless you're NK, they clearly can't hide shit and are happy to take credit. I recall the leaks that WannaCry came from had tools to change code to make it look foreign.

Custom ROMs are still a thing, lots of us still love them. We just don't bitch and moan in public anymore because of treble.

Have Google's apps previously been abusing these permissions?

Can Google now circumvent this block?

This is kinda funny.

journald single purpose is replace plain text in files to binary, antithetical to unix design.

While you're correct, journald has it's own binary like all the other bits of systemd. This does not necessarily mean the underlying code is modular.

Rovers have beamed back images to Hayabusa2.

So all I/O is still over a single USB bus?

I understand there needs to be cost cutting somewhere in devices like this but it's the single component that has never been updated. PoE and network booting is really useful and I think I'll upgrade. More I/O bandwidth would kill the competition.

It must be Chromium as there is no source code for Chrome. Chromium builds using chrome.exe is normal. The elephant in the room is the files containing Chrome branding, that shouldn't be there.

Members of the cabinets are high profiles for targeted hacking - nation states looking for leverage, criminals looking to make a buck, hell even script kiddies for the 'lulz'. Our governments are well aware of the security shortcomings in our communications technology, proven by hoarding of security vulnerabilities rather than fixing them, don't forget the outrageous level of surveillance and spying. So, I'm begging the question, why would phones even be allowed in such a meeting?

Tldr: all the phones are turned off and put in a box.

First off, a repost and now a little analysis of the title. ..JavaScript Exploit Leaves All Android Devices [not all devices have chrome and even then not everyone uses chrome] Ripe For Attack [wrong, exploit is undisclosed and being patched].

There is splashes of little ironies through out the comedy that this incident has caused. Most of the bitcoin wallets were indeed held off line, so had the attack been an outside intruder only so much currency would have been there to steal. Following the physical layout of a 'real' bank is wise, as long as nobody lets the bank manager run off with the contents of the vault in an armored truck.

One of the reasons why computer security has turned in to a cat and mouse game - that quite frankly we are losing, is the computer architecture model we use for everything hasn't really changed. A physical separation of user space and kernel space in to two systems, then ideas like this become rather useful.
