• Introducing Amazon Linux 2 — Amazon Linux 2 provides a modern execution environment with LTS Kernel (4.9) tuned for optimal performance on Amazon Web Services (AWS), systemd support, and newer tooling (gcc 7.2.1, glibc 2.25, binutils 2.27).
• Amazon Linux 2 Benchmarks — With Amazon AWS this week having released Amazon Linux 2 LTS I was excited to put this updated cloud-focused operating system through some performance tests to see how it stacks up with the more well known Linux distributions.
• OpenSSH coming to Windows 10 — The software giant is now adding a native OpenSSH client to Windows 10. It’s available immediately as a beta option in the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10, and it’s easy to enable.
• Not just the client — we also shipped OpenSSH’s sshd server, but it’s a little tricky to configure right now. Expect a blog post this week. * This is not production-ready in the current version of Windows 10 (hence the “(Beta)” in the label), but we hope to be soon.
• Mozilla faces blowback after slipping Mr Robot plugin into Firefox — Firefox users noticed a strange new plug-in popping up in their browsers. A new plug-in called Looking Glass found its way into each instance of the new Firefox Quantum browser. It was disabled by default, but users were still alarmed to see a plugin they hadn’t installed.
• Steve Klabnik on Twitter — I am pretty upset with my employer, @mozilla, today
• Carol Nichols, Rus Dev on Twitter — “Mozilla wasn’t paid for the Mr. Robot tie-in”
• Intel to slap hardware lock on Management Engine code to thwart downgrade attacks — From version 12 onward, ME-equipped chips will defend against patch rollbacks.
• Conservancy update on fight with Law Center — Today, Conservancy filed for summary judgment in SFLC’s trademark cancellation action. As I understand from our lawyers, summary judgment is a mechanism to ask a Court to expediently handle a matter where the facts are straightforward and, as a matter of law, there is no plausible way that the party filing for summary judgment won’t prevail.

• Fedora 26 is here! – Fedora Magazine — What’s new in Fedora 26?
  First, of course, we have thousands of improvements from the various upstream software we integrate, including new development tools like GCC 7, Golang 1.8, and Python 3.6. We’ve added a new partitioning tool to Anaconda (the Fedora installer) — the existing workflow is great for non-experts, but this option will be appreciated by enthusiasts and sysadmins who like to build up their storage scheme from basic building blocks. F26 also has many under-the-hood improvements, like better caching of user and group info and better handling of debug information. And the DNF package manager is at a new major version (2.5), bringing many new features.
• Fedora 27 Might Do Away With 32-Bit Kernel Builds – Phoronix — A controversial change being considered for Fedora 27 is doing away with the i686 kernel build thereby effectively dropping support for older x86 32-bit systems.
• Yunit packages for ubuntu 16.04 LTS — yunit — We are pleased to announce that Yunit is now available as an overlay repository for ubuntu 16.04 LTS xenial (64bit).
  The following have been tested and should work with an existing ubuntu 16.04, ubuntu gnome 16.04, lubuntu 16.04 and xubuntu 16.04 installation.
  They will not work in either kubuntu 16.04 or ubuntu mate 16.04 due to the updated Qt libraries,
• Windows 10 loves Ubuntu | Ubuntu Insights — Ubuntu 16.04 is now available as an app from the Windows Store for users running Windows Insider builds. The newly improved app is created by Canonical in collaboration with the Microsoft WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) team as a result of the work announced at Microsoft Build 2017 Conference
• First day! | Solus on Patreon — Well, we’re here! Today is officially my first day working full time on Solus. And it’s thanks to YOU, supporters of Solus, for making this possible!
• System76 Blog — Pop!_OS Updates — CalDav and CardDav work continues. The deeper we’ve dug the more hard coding we’ve found.
  We’re considering writing a new installer for GNOME and any DE that features user setup separate from OS installation. The further we went down the Ubiquity path, the more it seemed over-complicated.
  Automated firmware updates are coming to System76 laptops. With this feature, the System76 Driver will prompt that there’s an update available. Running the update will reboot your computer, install the firmware, and take you back to login.
• A New Browser Is Making Peer-to-Peer Web Hosting More User-Friendly – Motherboard — Billed as a “peer-to-peer web browser,” the idea behind Beaker is to provide a simple way to build and host websites directly from the browser, which can then be visited by other users of the browser without the need for any intermediary hosting providers.

24-core CPU and I can’t move my mouse | Random ASCII

This story begins, as they so often do, when I noticed that my machine was behaving poorly. My Windows 10 work machine has 24 cores (48 hyper-threads) and they were 50% idle. It has 64 GB of RAM and that was less than half used. It has a fast SSD that was mostly idle. And yet, as I moved the mouse around it kept hitching – sometimes locking up for seconds at a time.

Dropbox Kept Files Around For Years Due To ‘Delete’ Bug

• Dropbox has fixed a bug that caused old, deleted data to reappear on the site. The bug was reported by multiple support threads in the last three weeks and merged into one issue here. An anonymous Slashdot reader writes
• In some of the complaints users reported seeing folders they deleted in 2009 reappear on their devices overnight. After seeing mysterious folders appear in their profile, some users thought they were hacked. Last week, a Dropbox employee provided an explanation to what happened, blaming the issue on an old bug that affected the metadata of soon-to-be-deleted folders. Instead of deleting the files, as users wanted and regardless of metadata issues, Dropbox choose to keep those files around for years, and eventually restored them due to a blunder. In its File retention Policy, Dropbox says it will keep files around a maximum 60 days after users deleted them
• If you have sensitive data, do not rely on delete, rely on encryption.
• If you have sensitive data, you shouldn’t have it on third-party systems without encryption.
• The encryption and decryption should occur on your system, not theirs.
• Imagine you deleted those risky files just before an international trip, you get requested to power up your laptop, and bang, there’s those deleted files back….!

Twitter Activist Security – Guidelines for safer resistance

• We’ve covered privacy on the Internet before. We’ve stated very clearly that using privacy tools such as Tor is not illegal nor is it suspicious, no more so than someone paying cash at the grocery store.
• This guideline is specfically for Twitter, but many of the suggestions can be apply to other social media as well, but I am not sure how well they will travel. Chose carefully
• Many people are starting to get politically active in ways they fear might have negative repercussions for their job, career or life. It is important to realise that these fears are real, but that public overt resistance is critical for political legitimacy. This guide hopes to help reduce the personal risks to individuals while empowering their ability to act safely.
  I am not an activist, and I almost certainly don’t live in your country. These guidelines are generic with the hope that they will be useful for a larger number of people.
• Security Principles To Live By The basic principles of operational security are actually very simple, they’re what we call the three Cs: Cover, Concealment, Compartmentation

Move over skimmers, ‘shimmers’ are the newest tool for stealing credit card info

• Consumers and retailers be on guard: there’s a new and more devious way for fraudsters to steal your credit and debit card information.
• “Shimmers” are the newest form of credit card skimmers, only smaller, more powerful and practically impossible to detect. And they’re popping up all over the place, says RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin, who sounded the alarm after four shimmers were extracted from checkout card readers at a Coquitlam, B.C., retailer.
• “Something this sophisticated, this organized and multi-jurisdictional has all the classic hallmarks of organized crime,” said McLaughlin.
• Unlike skimmers, a shimmer — named for its slim profile — fits inside a card reader and can be installed quickly and unobtrusively by a criminal who slides it into the machine while pretending to make a purchase or withdrawal.
• Once installed, the microchips on the shimmer record information from chip cards, including the PIN. That information is later extracted when the criminal inserts a special card — also during a purchase or cash withdrawal — which downloads the data. The information is then used to make fake cards.
• Shimmers have rendered the bigger and bulkier skimmers virtually obsolete, according to Const. Alex Bojic of the Coquitlam RCMP economic crime unit.
• “You can’t see a shimmer from the outside like the old skimmer version,” Bojic said in a statement. “Businesses and consumers should immediately report anything abnormal about the way their card is acting … especially if the card is sticking inside the machine.”
• McLaughlin said the Coquitlam retailer detected the shimmers through its newly introduced daily testing of point-of-sales terminals. A test card inserted into the machines kept on getting stuck and the shimmers were found when the terminals were opened.
• “We want to get the word out,” said McLaughlin. “Businesses really need to be checking for these kinds of devices and consumers need to be aware of them.”
• Bojic said using the tap function of a chip card is one way to avoid being “shimmed.”
  “It’s actually very secure. Each tap transfers very limited banking information, which can’t be used to clone your card,” Bojic said.
• Krebs wrote about this and has a post which is all about skimmer and shimmer
