Thinking about the potential intelligence and deep-fake benefits from grabbing this voice data. “Each of the audio tracks contains metadata including the corresponding user ID: this makes harvesting and processing the voice data of each individual easier.”
“Clubhouse records all audio until every person has left the room, which it says is for safety purposes. Its community guidelines state that temporary audio recording is performed ‘solely for the purpose of supporting incident investigations’ while ‘the room is live.’”
“If a user reports a violation while the room is active, Clubhouse retains the audio [to investigate] and deletes it when this is complete... ‘Audio from muted speakers and audience members is never captured, and all temporary recordings are encrypted’”
“But..because the audio is not encrypted end-to-end, it is potentially accessible. At the same time, conversations are recorded for as long as a room is occupied, so your microphone stays active if you switch to another app without actually leaving the room”
... Clubhouse continues to record any non-muted microphones and retains all recordings until every person actually leaves the room.”

Ok as I open Episode 7 of @Netflix's Spycraft, I realize it's not a whole episode about Stuxnet; it's called The Codebreakers and is about a lot of other things - Jefferson's cipher wheel, Enigma, etc, with only a few minutes about Stuxnet. That's probably a good thing.
This is going to be a mercilessly short thread because I'm just going to skip ahead to the part about Stuxnet so I don't have to watch the whole episode. Looks like the Stuxnet portion is just 3 minutes long. Woohoo
Interesting mystery. New malware found on ~30,000 Macs is raising ??. Once hourly the Macs contact a control server to check for commands from attackers, but so far no payload delivered. Malware has self-destruct feature but attackers haven't triggered it. arstechnica.com/information-te…
The malware has been found in 153 countries. One version runs on M1 chip that Apple introduced in Nov, "making it only the second known piece of macOS malware to do so... it uses the macOS Installer JavaScript API to execute commands." Red Canary report: redcanary.com/blog/clipping-…
“Though we haven’t observed [it] delivering additional malicious payloads yet, its...M1 chip compatibility, global reach, relatively high infection rate, and operational maturity [make it] uniquely positioned to deliver a potentially impactful payload at a moment’s notice”
Seeing all of these videos of people skating on thin ice - literally - and made me curious about when it's safe to skate on frozen bodies of water. survivalskills.guide/how-to-tell-if…
Story in 3 acts. 1) People publishes sympathetic story about Axios reporter's relationship w/ Biden aid who has cancer. 2) Turns out People scooped Politico on story. 3) Nope. It turns out Biden aid threatened Politico reporter before taking story to People to undermine Politico
If you're wondering about the difference between how People portrayed the story and how Politico planned to portray it: On left Politico Playbook snippet, on right People story
"After Vanity Fair published this account [of how Ducklo threatened the Politico reporter by telling her "I will destroy you"], the White House announced that Ducklo would be suspended for one week."
