⚠️ The backbone of vulnerability tracking may be about to snap. 🤦🏻‍♂️

MITRE’s federal contract for managing the CVE program expires April 16 — with no confirmed renewal.

Without it, we risk:
🚫 A breakdown in standardized vulnerability tracking
🌍 Global coordination gaps
💣 Increased exposure to unpatched threats

Cybersecurity doesn’t work without CVE. Leadership must step up before this vital resource goes dark.

I posted the above because I find it insane that many major companies are requesting their employees to use such dangerous products as Microsoft offerings, especially 365 and even more so with Copilot.
Outside of jobs but for some productions and personal projects I only past used AmigaOS, IRIX, SunOS, Oracle Solaris, various versions of macOS (Classic & Darwin), and a few Linux distributions such as Red Hat with KDE or GNOME. Microsoft has always been a no-go for me, and this company does everything to remain away from me forever.

"Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption. These systems are notoriously difficult to breach, making them a challenge for law enforcement. However, security researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that implementing so-called "lawful" backdoors is inherently flawed as such vulnerabilities would inevitably be discovered, accessed, and exploited by cybercriminals and black-hat hackers."—Alfonso Maruccia
