1. 2 days before French vote, Macron campaign hit by a massive hacking operation; documents stolen and mixed with fakes

Opinion polls show independent centrist Macron is set to beat National Front candidate Le Pen in Sunday second round of voting in what is seen to be France most important election in decades.

intelligence agencies said in January that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered hacking of parties tied to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to influence the election on behalf of Republican rival Donald Trump.

Reporting by Eric Auchard in Frankfurt Michel Rose and Bate Felix in Paris Jim Finkle in Toronto Writing by Andrew Callus Editing by Sandra Smith.

2. This is brilliant if they really did this… plant fakes to steal and dox. “Did Macron Outsmart Campaign Hackers?”

In addition to the normal proscription of campaign on election eve the government issued a statement saying specifically that anyone disseminating the materials in this dump in France could be liable to prosecution and calling on the media to shoulder their by steering clear of them.

As reported by The Daily Beast part of the Macron campaign strategy against Fancy Bear also known as Pawn Storm and was to sign on to the phishing pages and plant bogus information.

can flood these phishing addresses with multiple passwords and true ones false ones so the people behind them use up a lot of time trying to figure them out Mounir Mahjoubi the head of digital team told The Daily Beast for its earlier article on this subject.

3. How Tenable researchers re-discovered the Intel #AMT vulnerability #infosec

In a blog post written by Embedi the company of the researcher who discovered the vulnerability a bullet point stood out.

Drawing on past experience when we reported an vulnerability in which the length of credential comparison is controlled by the attacker memcmp we tested out a case in which only a portion of the correct response hash is sent to the AMT web server.

On May Intel responded confirming that it was the same vulnerability and requested we wait to share our findings until Pacific time that day.

4. TV EXEC: I hate my industry, but at least it can’t get any worse ZUCKERBERG: Hold my juicero

The effort to snag exclusive shows is being led by CollegeHumor cofounder Ricky Van Veen whom Facebook hired in December to be its global creative strategy chief.

His small team has been meeting with production companies and hearing pitches for episodic shows five to minutes long that would live in a revamped version of Facebook video tab.

The new video strategy pits Facebook directly against YouTube which on Thursday announced it would fund a slate of original shows starring big names like Ellen DeGeneres Kevin Hart and Katy Perry.

5. Report: Facebook TV coming as early as June, it’s still not a media company

Back in December rumors started flying that Facebook was looking to follow Amazon Hulu and Netflix into the original content game.

With premium services like Amazon reducing the number of cable subscribers networks like YouTube see an opportunity to snatch up defectors.

And while Snapchat is still far behind Facebook in user count Zuckerberg worries that his company is behind the times when it comes to innovation and attracting younger eyeballs.

6. Analogously the first step of pentesting appears to be “Try giving no password.”

8. “hackers to remotely gain administrative control over huge fleets of computers” #intel

According to a blog post published Friday by Tenable Network Security the cryptographic hash that the interface digest access authentication requires to verify someone is authorized to log in can be anything at all including no string at all.

The browser sends instead a response hash computed on a string composed of various items including a variable nonce sent by the server in addition to the password for example.

The problem is what happens if you do use a browser but you generate an invalid request manually or using a proxy to alter the response sending an empty string instead of the character hash.

9. Worst and sloppiest vulnerability I’ve seen. And unpatched. Letting CPU silently redirect traffic: not a good idea

10. Could see Silicon Valley ratings taking a dive this season because this Zuckerberg thing is even better

But if there one message Zuckerberg and his dozens of staffers want to get across it that this tour is not an elaborate publicity stunt designed to set the stage for his eventual run for office.

Amy Dudley the chief spokeswoman for his philanthropic fund The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was previously the communications director for Hillary Clinton running mate and Virginia senator Tim Kaine.

Zuckerberg visit to Ohio last week included a community college machine learning lab an opioid addiction clinic and a juvenile detention center according to the spokesperson.
