Massive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flaws

Walled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the entire country, and how malicious actors could similarly use that unchecked power to shut down critical […]

I wish Spectrum Cable were on here so I could blast their butts. I finally unpacked their suitcase-sized box with a "new, faster" modem today. After taking the shrinkwrap off, I found that mine was pre-broken. 🤬 The box was the size of a suitcase, & looked perfect when FedEx delivered it. It was also mostly empty space. I'm really glad I don't work for them anymore. We also need *more choices* in ISPs. #SpectrumCable #cableModem #Spectrum #Charter #busted #telcos #cable #ISPs #tech

A freshly unwrapped Spectrum cable modem. The shrinkwrap is at the bottom of the picture. The outside of the modem is black plastic with air holes at top left. At the bottom right, the cable company name, Spectrum, is stamped into the plastic. A semi-circular crack extends from the bottom right corner of the modem, up into the name, and then curves back down to the left, back below the name.
The giant box delivered by FedEx containing the new, yet physically broken cable modem (on top of the box). The box is on my coffee table. The box also contained some pieces of paper, 2 small cables shrink-wrapped together, and a power adapter. Below the box on a shelf is the tape measure I used to measure the box before taking out all the stuff. It measured about 2112 cubic inches. I imagine the modem was broken before it was shrink-wrapped, but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

On behalf of the #LibreQoS team, we want to thank everyone here for making 2024 a game changing year. This entire project started as a small script Robert posted online 4 years ago. Through the support we've received everywhere, we are 57k lines of code stronger with v1.5-BETA-7. We look forward to the year ahead in 2025, and to helping more #ISPs to overhaul their networks.

#CyberSecurity #USA #China #Hacking #ISPs MSPs #Versa: "A group of hackers linked to the Chinese government used a previously unknown vulnerability in software to target U.S. internet service providers, security researchers have found.

The group known as Volt Typhoon was exploiting the zero-day flaw — meaning the software maker was unaware of it before having time to patch — in Versa Director, a piece of software made by Versa Networks, according to researchers at Black Lotus Labs, which is part of cybersecurity firm Lumen.

Versa sells software to manage network configurations, and is used by internet service providers (ISPs) and managed service providers (MSPs), which makes Versa “a critical and attractive target” for hackers, the researchers wrote in a report published on Tuesday.

This is the latest discovery of hacking activities carried out by Volt Typhoon, a group that is believed to be working for the Chinese government. The group focuses on targeting critical infrastructure, including communication and telecom networks, with the goal of causing “real-world harm” in the event of a future conflict with the United States. U.S. government officials testified earlier this year that the hackers aim to disrupt any U.S. military response in a future anticipated invasion of Taiwan."

The Spamhaus Project

In a recent post, we raised concerns about some ISPs using Spamhaus's data outbound, trapping users in a never-ending cycle of blocked emails—a real nightmare for users……and our ticketing team! 😩

But how can you effectively limit outbound spam without causing this issue?

First, not everybody worries about this, so to those working hard to make the internet safer—thank you! 🙌

However, here's some guidance on how to reduce outbound spam without blocking user’s legitimate emails:

The Spamhaus Project

Ever heard of the Policy Blocklist (PBL)? 🤔 It's a Spamhaus list you might actually want to be on! It helps tackle end-user abuse by listing IP ranges from which email should never be sent directly to the final destination.

Whether you're an Internet Service Provider with IP ranges to declare or an end user that has received a rejection error message mentioning "Spamhaus," understanding the PBL is essential.

Learn more about the PBL, how it works for providers, and its impact on end users here 👇
