Specops Device Trust: Device-based access control beyond MFA

Specops Device Trust is a cloud-based security product from Specops Software (part of Outpost24) that ties access decisions to user identity and the device's security state. It addresses a specific gap that multi-factor authentication (MFA) alone cannot close: an attacker who steals a session token or login credentials can still access your systems if access decisions are based solely on user identity. The product binds users to enrolled, verified devices and continuously checks device security throughout every session. This article covers how Specops Device Trust works, what it checks, and how to deploy it.

The release builds on a 7B model with 2K transparent generation, while Alibaba has now clarified that images users create are not restricted by the model’s research license.

📰 I spent hours debugging Docker permissions until one number in my compose file fixed everything

Homelabbing looks straightforward, and it is, until you run into something. Since each setup is different, the solutions aren’t always the same, or documented. A similar thing happened to me a few months ago. While setting up Nextcloud on my homelab Debian server, I faced a permission denied error.

ShinyHunters claims FBI hack via PeopleSoft zero-day, demands retraction instead of ransom

ShinyHunters says it breached the FBI through an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day on FBIjobs.gov and stole 2 to 3 TB of data on current, former and prospective employees. The group is not asking for a ransom. It wants the bureau to retract a May warning about its tactics. The same extortion gang was earlier reported to have exploited a PeopleSoft zero-day to breach more than 100 organizations, and the FBI confirmed it is investigating "unauthorized activity affecting FBIjobs.gov."
