Zero-Day Vulnerability allow attackers to steal users data Found in Password Managers( 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Enpass, iCloud Passwords, and LogMeOnce remain unpatched— still vulnerable)
Fixed: NordPass, ProtonPass, RoboForm, Dashlane, Keeper
Still vulnerable: Bitwarden, 1Password, iCloud Passwords, Enpass, LastPass, LogMeOnce
::: spoiler Key Points
- A new clickjacking technique where a malicious script manipulates UI elements that browser extensions inject into the DOM by making them invisible using javascript.
- In my research, I selected 11 password managers that are used as browser extensions and the result was that all were vulnerable to "DOM-based Extension Clickjacking". Tens of millions of users could be at risk (~40 million active installations).
- A single click anywhere on the attacker's website could leak credit card details including security codes (6 out of 9 were vulnerable) or exfiltrate stored personal information (8 out of 10 vulnerable).
- All password managers filled credentials not only to the "main" domain, but also to all subdomains. An attacker could easily find XSS or other vulnerabilities and steal the user's stored credentials with a single click (10 out of 11), including TOTP (9 out of 11). In some scenarios, passkey authentication could also be exploited (8 out of 11).
- All vulnerabilities were reported in April 2025 with a notice that public disclosure will be in August 2025. Some vendors have still not fixed described vulnerability: Bitwarden, 1Password, iCloud Passwords, Enpass, LastPass, LogMeOnce. Users of these password managers may still be at risk (~32.7 million active installations).
- For Chromium-based browser users it is recommended to configure site access to "on click" in extension settings. This configuration allows users to manually control autofill functionality.
- The described technique is general and I only tested it on 11 password managers. Other DOM-manipulating extensions are probably vulnerable (password managers, crypto wallets, notes etc.).

Vor sieben Jahren konnte diese Geschichte vielleicht noch wie ein intimes Indie-Drama aus Brooklyn wirken, aber heute erkennen wir, dass der Film eine Vorwarnung war. Denn längst nicht nur in den USA hat sich seither ein Kulturkampf entfesselt, der gegen jede Form von Förderung von Vielfalt und geschlechtlicher Selbstbestimmung aufmarschieren lässt.

In response, Zazim, an activist group of Arab and Jewish Israelis, plastered taxis in Tel Aviv with large watermelon stickers that read: "This is not a Palestinian flag."

The reduction in coverage was most pronounced before primary elections.The reduction in staff covering politics made it harder for voters to differentiate between moderates and extremists in partisan primaries, and allowed extreme candidates to do better than they did before.
This makes sense, and it explains a lot, actually.
And to be clear, it's not just craigslist as a culprit here, but it's such a controlled A/B test that the effects are reliably measurable.

Netanyahu slams Macron for fuelling 'antisemitic fire'
Jerusalem (AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upbraided President Emmanuel Macron in a letter seen by AFP on Tuesday, blaming the French leader's move to recognise a Palestinian state for fuelling antisemitism.Late last month, Macron said France would formally recognise a Palestinian state during a UN meeting in September, drawing a swift rebuke from Israel.
By announcing the move, France was set to join a growing list of nations to have recognised statehood for the Palestinians since the start of the Gaza war nearly two years ago.
In the letter sent to Macron, Netanyahu said antisemitism had "surged" in France following the announcement.
"Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas's refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets," Netanyahu wrote in the letter.
The Israeli premier went on to call on Macron to confront antisemitism in France, saying he must "replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve, and to do so by a clear date: the Jewish New Year, September 23".
According to an AFP tally, at least 145 of the 193 UN members now recognise or plan to recognise a Palestinian state, including Australia, Britain and Canada.
Canberra joined the list earlier this month, announcing its intention to recognise a Palestinian state in September.
Netanyahu slammed his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese on Tuesday, labelling him a "weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews," in an angry post on his office's official X account.
The personal attack came amid a diplomatic spat between the two countries after the Australian government on Monday cancelled the visa of far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman.
Rothman, whose ultranationalist party is in Netanyahu's governing coalition, had been scheduled to speak at events organised by the Australian Jewish Association.
Hours after his visa was cancelled, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he had revoked the visas of Australia's representatives to the Palestinian Authority.
In a statement, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said revoking their visas was an "unjustified reaction" by Israel and that Netanayahu's government was "isolating Israel and undermining international efforts towards peace and a two-state solution".

This war criminal is so used to using "antisemitism" as a sword/shield for everything that he doesn't even realize how insane that sounds...
What labelling everything critical of Israeli state as "antisemitism" really achieves is making people insensitive to real antisemitism. Jews should be the first ones to call this out if not out of basic decency, then at least for self-preservation.

From awkward voice bots to emotional, human-like audio in minutes.
🎙️ Confessions of a Voice-Challenged Creator: How I Stopped Worrying and Let AI Talk For Me
Let’s be honest: Creating content with voice used to feel like filming a Marvel movie — fun in theory, financially traumatic in practice.
🚧 My Painful AI Voiceover Journey
- Voice actors are amazing. My bank account? Not so much. I once paid more for 60 seconds of narration than for my monthly rent.
- AI voices sounded like…AI. Monotone, lifeless, and emotionally unavailable — kind of like my ex.
- “Supports 20 languages!” they said. But none sounded remotely native. My Spanish dub had the vibe of a high school French student trying Japanese.
- Workflows were a mess. Script here, voiceover there, edits everywhere. It was a creative relay race, and I always dropped the baton.
💡 Then I Found My Secret Weapon: AllVoiceLab
I didn’t expect it to feel… real.
The first time I heard my own voice — cloned, modulated, and layered with emotional nuance — I froze. Not because it sounded “AI,” but because it didn’t.
I’ve tested voiceover tools for years. Most sounded like early GPS systems trying to read Shakespeare. So when I stumbled onto AllVoiceLab, I expected more of the same. I was wrong.
🎬 Want to know how to use it? Watch this full tutorial video.
A Real Creator Test: From Script to Emotion in Minutes
I pasted a script.
Chose a voice model.
Clicked play.
And there it was — natural, dynamic, expressive. The AI voice paused, rose, and dropped exactly where a real human would.
But my translated audio can’t be uploaded.
Voice Cloning Was My Turning Point
I uploaded 30 seconds of my own voice. The tool cloned it — no studio needed, no extra training. It was weird. In a good way. I could now narrate anything, in my voice, with better pacing than I do live.
Technically, you can clone any voice from an upload. I gave Elon Musk’s voice a shot — but yeah, can’t just leak that out.
API & Power Tools for Scale
As a developer, I wanted more. I found their API documentation.
All API requests should include your API key in an ai-api-key HTTP header as follows:
ai-api-key: AVOICE_API_KEY
You can paste the command below into your terminal to run your API request. Make sure to replace $AVOICE_API_KEY with your secret API key.
curl ‘https://api.allvoicelab.com/$PATH' \
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ \
-H ‘ai-api-key: $AVOICE_API_KEY’
Video Dubbing, Multilingual Magic
I uploaded a short video clip and selected French. The result wasn’t just a dub — it was emotionally aligned.This used to take weeks.
What Makes It Different
- More expressive than Vozo. ai
- Easier UI than Akool
- Cheaper and faster than ElevenLabs
And they offer all features — voice cloning, TTS, dubbing, narration — in one clean platform.
AllVoiceLab isn’t just AI voice
It’s your voice — cloned, refined, and emotionally alive.If you’re a creator, podcaster, or brand storyteller, give it a shot. It changed how I think about sound.

benefits of using GB Whatsapp
In today’s fast-paced digital world, communication apps have become a necessity, and WhatsApp is at the top of the list. However, many users are looking for more features, flexibility, and customization options that the official app doesn’t offer. This is where GB WhatsApp comes in as a popular alternative.
One of the biggest benefits of GB WhatsApp is its enhanced customization. Unlike the standard version, it allows users to change themes, fonts, and colors, giving a more personalized chatting experience. For people who love to make their app look unique, this is a major advantage.
Another benefit is the privacy features. GB WhatsApp lets you hide your online status, blue ticks, and even typing indicators. This gives you full control over how others see your activity, making communication more private and stress-free.
GB WhatsApp also offers advanced media sharing. While the official app limits file size and quality, GB WhatsApp lets you send larger videos, more images at once, and share high-resolution files without compression. This is especially useful for professionals, students, or anyone who frequently exchanges media.
Additionally, features like dual accounts on the same phone, auto-reply, and extended status updates make GB WhatsApp a versatile tool. It combines the simplicity of WhatsApp with added functionality that saves time and improves the overall experience.
For users who want to explore these extra features safely and efficiently, visiting trusted sources is essential. You can learn more and access GB WhatsApp updates at www.gbwhatsap.id
.
In short, GB WhatsApp provides freedom, privacy, and personalization that the official version lacks. Whether you want to stand out with unique themes or enjoy advanced sharing features, it’s an excellent choice for modern communication.

Proton Authenticator
As more and more of our important personal data is stored online and more and more hacks of corporate databases make that data available to the worst people, the need for added security on our online accounts has grown considerably. It’s no longer enough to have a secure, hard to crack password. We now need to enable two-factor/multi-factor authentication (2FA/MFA). These services allow you to use something you have, such as your smartphone, along with something you know, in this case your password, to ensure that your account stays secure.
Previously, MFA services were only available for government organizations or enterprise banking services. Now, MFA apps are available to anybody with a smart phone or a computer. Large tech companies such as Google and Microsoft provide free MFA apps, for use with their own services as well as with others which offer MFA for their accounts. You can even sync these apps between devices to ensure you always have your MFA accounts available to you. One thing these apps do not provide, however, is encryption of your MFA accounts. If your Google account is hacked, the hackers could gain access to your MFA codes.
Proton, a Swiss company known for its focus on user privacy and security, has released their own authenticator app, Proton Authenticator. This app, available on all major computer and mobile operating systems, adds end-to-end encryption between devices to keep your MFA accounts secure and safe. If your Proton account is hacked, your MFA accounts are still not visible to the hackers. The app is also open source, allowing anyone to inspect the code and verify its security. Finally, the app is free with no Proton account requirement to use it.
You can find more information about Proton Authenticator as well as download options for your devices here.

The laws will bolster consumer protections for crypto users and limit withdrawals to $2,500 a day for new users of digital currency kiosks, which have become magnets for scams and drug-dealing.
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which has been given the power to regulate digital asset exchanges and businesses, will require the crypto industry to comply with protections now in place for consumers of traditional financial services, such as banks.
Crypto businesses will have to keep enough money on hand to operate effectively and have plans to target fraud and money-laundering.
To prevent fraud, the state will cap daily transaction amounts at kiosks at $2,500 for new customers, limit transaction fees at kiosks to 18% and provide full refunds to new customers who get defrauded.

Proton shifts out of Switzerland over snooping law fears
Proton is beginning to shift its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland, fearing a fresh bout of government snooping baked into the country's updated surveillance laws.The company has confirmed that Lumo, its newly launched AI chatbot positioned as a privacy-friendly ChatGPT rival, is the first to move. Servers for the product are now being housed in Germany, with Norway also in the frame for future operations. This comes amid serious grumbling about amendments to the country’s existing surveillance ordinance, which would force VPNs and messaging apps to identify users and store their data for up to six months.
Proton has been vocal about its opposition since May. In a statement roton’s head of anti-abuse and account security Eamonn Maguire said: “Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance, proposals that have been outlawed in the EU, Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move."
Well, fuck. "You can keep your Nazi gold to yourself, but we need your LLM interactions."

The Future of Tech Labor: How Workers are Organizing and Transforming the Computing Industry
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/35983951
The tech industry's shifting landscape and the growing precarity of its labor force have spurred unionization efforts among tech workers. These workers turn to collective action to improve their working conditions and to protest unethical practices within their workplaces. To better understand this movement, we interviewed 44 U.S.-based tech worker-organizers to examine their motivations, strategies, challenges, and future visions for labor organizing. These workers included engineers, product managers, customer support specialists, QA analysts, logistics workers, gig workers, and union staff organizers. Our findings reveal that, contrary to popular narratives of prestige and privilege within the tech industry, tech workers face fragmented and unstable work environments which contribute to their disempowerment and hinder their organizing efforts. Despite these difficulties, organizers are laying the groundwork for a more resilient tech worker movement through community building and expanding political consciousness. By situating these dynamics within broader structural and ideological forces, we identify ways for the CSCW community to build solidarity with tech workers who are materially transforming our field through their organizing efforts.

Behind InvestEU’s Trojan Logic: Public Guarantees, Private Gains, and the Illusion of Climate Action
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/35967692
EU industrial policy is being portrayed as key to achieving the net-zero targets. InvestEU, a set of financial instruments that use the EU budget and debt as a revolving guarantee fund for investors, aims to unlock billions in public and private investments for the green transition. However, InvestEU merely creates an illusion of climate action: it effectively outsources the responsibility for, and the pace of, the green transition to investors whose primary imperative remains profit maximisation, without tackling the decarbonisation of capitalism. Climate investments remain marginal and increasingly compete with defence priorities. Moreover, in its efforts to ‘crowding in’ investors, the EU is crowding out democratic oversight and control.
