What a wonderful couple of days

First, on Thursday, an unknown person begins sharing photos of Discord Okta stuff. Images begin circulating. I first saw the images around 3pm EST. Some people speculated it was SLSH. SLSH took credit for something Discord related, I don't know.

Friday Discord did a press release disclosing a 3rd party compromise from (presumably) Zendesk. They began sending emails out.

Friday night people began attributing the Zendesk compromise to SLSH. Various posts were made on social media about it. The prevailing theory was overlapping TTPs from the SLSH attributed Salesforce campaign.

Saturday evening an unknown group officially took credit for the Discord Zendesk compromise disproving the attribution to SLSH.

Saturday night, SLSH retorted that they had never explicitly took credit for the Discord Zendesk compromise, hence they are not distributing misinformation, rather Cyber Threat Intelligence nerds on social media falsely attributed it and SLSH never explicitly confirmed or denied it. They took offense to me writing this weaponize misinformation.

Who really compromised Zendesk? Why didn't SLSH deny the allegations up front? Will One Punch Man season 3 have as good animation as season 1? Why does Friendlies have such good mozzarella sticks? Will I wait for the internet nerd drama to conclude before I make a post or just let chaos flow in perpetuity?

BREAKING: Sony became the world's first major OEM to ship smartphones without USB-C cables

The latest Sony Xperia 10 VII does not even come with a USB-C cable, nor does it come with a bundled charger. It only comes with manuals and a phone inside the box.

This also makes Sony the world's first major OEM to ditch bundling USB-C cable with a smartphone, even beating Apple. However, Apple is not far behind tho as the latest Airpods 3 Pro and Airpods 4 also don't feature USB-C charging cable, so expect Apple to follow soon for iPhones as they first ditched charger with the iPhone 12 in 2020.

The reason to remove USB-C remains the same as that for chargers, i.e. its "better for the environment".

AI will make automated security checks useless 🫡

Microsoft has confirmed that the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (version 26100.6584, released September 29, 2025) does not work on Arm64 devices following the rollout of Windows 11 25H2, also known as the Windows 11 2025 Update. Affected users receive an error message stating the tool cannot run on their PC. Although the tool does not support creating installation media for Arm64 systems, it should still allow those devices to generate media for x64 hardware.

Microsoft states this issue affects few users, as the feature sees limited use on Arm64 devices. The company recommends using the Media Creation Tool on AMD64 systems as a temporary workaround.

Google has revised its Android app registration policy in response to community feedback, introducing a two-tier system. A standard verified developer account requires full identity verification, while a limited free option caters to personal, educational, and hobbyist use. The free tier permits installation only on a restricted number of devices, each requiring manual authorization via the Android Developer Console using its unique identifier.

Starting with Android 16 QPR2 in December, the Developer Verifier service will validate app signatures against Google’s servers during installation, making internet access mandatory for the initial check. Verified identifiers for widely used apps will be cached locally to minimize repeated server queries.

Full verification demands submission of personal or organizational details, including government-issued ID for individuals and domain plus DUNS number for organizations. Enthusiast accounts bypass ID requirements but cannot distribute broadly. Google will block accounts linked to malicious software.

Google will retain ADB sideloading for development and enterprise use. Third-party stores like F-Droid will still face limitations due to Google’s prohibition on registering apps under another developer’s identity. Enforcement begins in select countries in September 2026, with global rollout scheduled for 2027.
