+1 here. If growth slows and donations drop, the instance needs some savings to continue operating, or if another server upgrade is needed with a large capital expense. Not everything is OpEx.

Beehive: an update to defederating from sh.itjust.works in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Great to hear that there is a dialog open between the admins. Hopefully it is all sorted swiftly. Federating with all of the large instances is important for the continued growth of the platform.

Understanding Fortinet's Legacy of Security Flaws From Magic Back Door to XORtigate CVE-2023-27997 in c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works
[–] Tempiz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They’ve really been dropping the ball lately. Especially with the SSL-VPN component. This is especially troubling considering I’ve had to implement emergency patches several times for this flaw on my own boxes.

(Beehaw.org) ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Its their communities choice I suppose. This seems against the idealogy of the fediverse, but to each their own. Folks can migrate here, or to a different instance of their choice if they disagree with the Beehaw admins.

QNAP Security Advisory | Bulletin ID: QSA-23-05 (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/87144

Received this QNAP security bulletin this morning. Update your QNAP products!

June 14, 2023 - QNAP® had published security enhancement against security vulnerabilities that could affect specific versions of QNAP products. Please use the following information and solutions to correct the security issues and vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities in Samba

Release date: June 14, 2023 Security ID: QSA-23-05 Severity: Medium CVE identifier: CVE-2022-37966 | CVE-2022-37967 | CVE-2022-38023 | CVE-2022-45141 Affected products: Certain QNAP Devices

Summary

The Samba Team has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in multiple versions of Samba, including vulnerabilities related to RC4 encryption. If exploited, some of these vulnerabilities allow an attacker to take control of an affected system. The following QNAP operating systems are affected:

• QTS, QuTS hero, QuTScloud, QVP (QVR Pro appliances) QES is not affected.

Only QNAP devices that run the affected operating systems and also act as a domain controller or AD member are affected.

Standalone QNAP devices are not affected by the vulnerabilities.

QNAP is currently fixing the vulnerabilities in QTS, QuTS hero, QuTScloud and QVP (QVR Pro appliances).

Please check this security advisory regularly for updates and promptly update your QNAP operating system to the latest version as soon as it is available.

Recommendation

Because RC4 encryption poses a high security risk, we strongly recommend replacing RC4 with the more secure AES algorithm when using a QNAP device as a domain controller or AD member.

• When the QNAP device acts as a domain controller, we strongly recommend enforcing AES encryption. • When the QNAP device acts as an AD member, the encryption method should follow that of the domain controller. We also strongly recommend that the domain controller is configured to enforce AES encryption. Before security updates are available, depending on the AD domain role of your QNAP device, we recommend enforcing AES encryption only or at least allowing both AES and RC4 encryption to mitigate the risks posed by the vulnerabilities.

Just a reminder that Windows 10 21H2 home and pro editions are EoL today. Make sure you get updated to 22H2.

22H2 will be the final release of Windows 10, with an EoL of Oct. 14, 2025.

Enterprise 21H2 still has one year of support which will end June 11, 2024.

What is your security role within your organization? (sh.itjust.works)
 

With this new community, I figured it would be interesting to get a gauge on if there are any security professionals within the community, and what roles everyone holds?

I personally specialize in GRC, but have also worked in network engineering in the past.

Saw this one over on /r/cybersecurity and just goes to show why you should always have healthy skepticism for new closed source applications with wild claims.

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.
