On 24 July 2023, researchers of the Dutch security firm Midnight Blue revealed that they had found five vulnerabilities in the authentication and encryption algorithms of the TETRA radio network, which is used in the critical infrastructure of more than 100 countries. Two of the vulnerabilities are deemed critical. One of them appears to be an intentional backdoor.

Epik has seized kiwifarms.net citing unknown ToS violations. I was not given warning or opportunity to move the domain.

The Kiwi Farms was able to stay on Epik because we received personal protection from its CEO, Brian Royce, a Libertarian in Las Vegas. There was a messy corporate issue and it appears the first thing they did after getting rid of Royce was take my domain.

If you are a customer of Epik, I request that you petition they allow me to transfer my domain out.

Epik has also aborted the Soyjak Party. Abandon ship.

Connecting your wallet via the top pop-up window will drain you of everything. Do not use revoke.cash to attempt to revoke permissions as that front-end has been compromised as well.

More to follow.
