When Half My Blog Readers Turned Out to Be Bots

It’s funny how sometimes the smallest corner of the internet can give you a glimpse into much larger changes at work. My blog is tiny — so tiny, in fact, that I sometimes wonder if it even deserves to be called a “blog.” It’s more like a digital notebook, a space where I publish stray thoughts, reflections, and small experiments.

And yet, even here, in this quiet...

The Death of Social Media is the Renaissance of RSS

The Flood of Artificial Content

Social media was once hailed as the great democratizer of information. It promised a world where anyone could share their voice, connect with like-minded communities, and discover authentic human perspectives. But in 2025, the landscape looks very different. Social platforms are drowning in a flood of Generative AI (GenAI) content—articles, images, videos, and even entire conversations churned out at industrial scale. The result is a noisy ocean of sameness, where genuine human voices struggle to be heard.

For years, one could track the slow decline of social platforms: from algorithmic manipulation and advertising overload, to bot armies,...

BugTraq.Ru: ФБР нашла русский след в атаках на древние Cisco

ФБР объявила о том, что русские хакеры используют уязвимость семилетней давности для проникновения в американские критические инфраструктурные сети и для сбора информации о промышленных системах. Злоумышленники, атрибутированные как 16 Центр ФСБ, они же Static Tundra, они же Berserk Bear, они же Dragonfly, предположительно более десятка лет занимались атаками устаревших устройств, использующих незашифрованные протоколы типа Cisco Smart Install (SMI) и SNMP. В последнем раунде атак использовалась уязвимость CVE-2018-0171, исправленная аж в марте 2018 года. В качестве целей называется ряд телекоммуникационных, образовательных и промышленных организаций из Северной Америки, Азии, Африки и Европы, отобранных "в соответствии со стратегическими интересами российского правительства". Компании из...
