Bringing Joy Back to the Web: Fediverse vs. Centralized Apps - The New Stack
The future is federated, say open web fans. But while new products demoed at FediForum show promise, is it enough to usurp X and Facebook?Richard MacManus (The New Stack)

@toychicken Yeah, I agree, we need "content creators" here - musicians, artists, writers - first posting alongside the others, then eventually posting on the Fediverse first.
Sorry to offend the anarcho-socialists, but I think the creators will come when we give them the ability to earn money on the Fediverse. Control your output; Build a network; sell your stuff here. See the numbers make sense.
So, anyone working on way to sell stuff on the Fediverse? 😜

I know this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to your BandWagon project, which I've been spruiking to musicians I know, but a couple of other examples;

La imagen es una fotografía en blanco y negro que muestra un grupo de ocho personas sentadas alrededor de una mesa cubierta con una manta de encaje. Todos están vestidos con capas oscuras y sombreros altos y puntiagudos, que recuerdan a los tradicionales sombreros de bruja. La escena parece ser una reunión informal, ya que algunos de los individuos sostienen tazas y parecen estar tomando té. La mesa está decorada con una manta con un patrón de encaje, y hay varios objetos sobre ella, incluyendo tazas y posiblemente una bandeja. El fondo muestra una estructura de ladrillo con una puerta arqueada, lo que sugiere que la escena se desarrolla al aire libre, posiblemente en un patio o jardín. La imagen tiene un tono nostálgico y evoca una sensación de reunión social en un contexto histórico.

Amazon Key is coming to apartment buildings.
Amazon Key Access Control system is a new building intercom solution that uses the Ring app to let apartment dwellers answer their building door and buzz people in on their phones.
The intercoms need to be installed by a property manager, and the system includes virtual keys for communal spaces; keys for individual apartments aren’t mentioned. Interestingly, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff left Amazon to run a smart building access solution, but he’s now back at Amazon.

PACBI (Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel) has called for a boycott of Sónar as more than 50 artists are reported to have pulled out of performing the upcoming 2025 festival.
PACBI formally called for a boycott of the Barcelona festival, and urged all artists to withdraw from the line-up due to its "[failure] to drop all of its complicit partnerships with BDS priority targets".

🚨 0-day vibes from 2017? Yup, it’s still happening.
A malicious Excel file using CVE-2017-0199 is out here in 2025 dropping FormBook like it's a fresh mixtape.
The attack chain?
- Macro-free Excel
- Weaponized with remote .hta
- Payload: Info-stealer FormBook
Despite being 7+ years old, this vuln still slaps in phishing campaigns — because patching is apparently a myth.
Full technical breakdown by @FortiGuardLabs: fortinet.com/blog/threat-resea…
TL;DR for blue teamers:
- Watch your egress traffic
- Harden Office apps
- Monitor LOLBins (Living Off the Land Binaries)
- Block outbound to shady IPs faster than your memes go viral
Don’t let your org get dunked on by a 2017 CVE in 2025. That’s not a good look.

How a Malicious Excel File (CVE-2017-0199) Delivers the FormBook Payload | FortiGuard Labs
Read how a malicious Excel file exploits CVE-2017-0199 to deliver FormBook malware via phishing.…Fortinet Blog
The image illustrates a flowchart detailing a sequence of actions leading to the execution of malicious software. It begins with a "Phishing Email" that contains an "Attached Excel" document. The user is prompted to "Open Attached Excel Document," which then leads to a "Malicious HTA file" with the identifier "CVE-2017-0199." This file is "Downloaded and executed," triggering the execution of "CallWindowProc." The flowchart then shows the execution of a "DLL" file, which leads to the creation of an "EXE" file named "sihost.exe." This "sihost.exe" file is used to "Extract" another "EXE" file labeled "springmaker." The "springmaker" file is then "Decoded" to produce the final "EXE" file named "FormBook." The flowchart uses red arrows to indicate the progression of actions, with dashed lines highlighting the extraction process.
