Musk steals a Twitter account from a user and redirects it into Trump propaganda.

Meanwhile, lots of journalists continue to directly support him by remaining active there.

I should note that Musk (and his bankers et al) own Twitter and can do whatever they want with user accounts, so technically it's not theft. Just scumbag behavior.

Recent developments in multi-cloud security testing:

Halberd, a new open-source tool, has been released for security testing across multiple cloud platforms. This tool supports testing on Entra ID, M365, AWS, and Azure.

Key features:
• Web interface for executing attack techniques
• Support for over 80 techniques across platforms
• Multi-cloud access management
• "Automator" for creating attack playbooks
• Reporting capabilities

While Halberd aims to simplify security testing, it's important to note that it doesn't replace comprehensive red team exercises. The tool's impact on cloud security practices and its role in multi-cloud environments remain to be seen.

As with any security tool, proper use and interpretation of results are crucial. Users considering Halberd should evaluate its suitability within their broader security strategy.
