Hi,

I'm looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

  • video or voice-only call
  • share screen
  • files transfer (optional)
  • text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I'm considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, the cybersecurity field faces a dual-edged sword of opportunities and threats. StrongDM's latest report, "The State of AI in Cybersecurity," highlights the growing concerns and readiness of cybersecurity professionals to tackle AI-driven challenges. Based on a survey of 600 cybersecurity professionals, the report sheds light on pressing issues around AI regulation, perceived threats, defense confidence, and the future of the cybersecurity workforce.

Key Findings from the Survey:

Regulation Concerns: 76% of cybersecurity professionals believe AI should be "heavily regulated" to prevent misuse, underscoring the need for balance between safety and innovation.

AI-Driven Threats: A significant 87% of respondents expressed concerns about AI-driven cyberattacks, with malware (33%) and data breaches (30%) ranking as top threats.

Preparedness Levels: Only 33% of professionals feel "very confident" in their current defenses, and 65% of companies admit they are not fully prepared for AI-powered attacks.

Workforce Impact: Despite challenges, two-thirds of respondents feel optimistic about AI's potential to enhance, rather than replace, jobs in cybersecurity.

Apple has become aware of a security flaw that could let hackers take control of a user’s iPhone or iPad if they visit a harmful website.

Maybe i'm reading this wrong but it doesn't seem to be cryptocurrency-specific:

Jeremiah O’Connor, CTO and co-founder of crypto cybersecurity firm Trugard, told Decrypt that “attackers could access sensitive data like private keys or passwords” stored in their browser, enabling crypto theft if the user’s device remained unpatched.

Owners of older models of D-Link VPN routers are being told to retire and replace their devices following the disclosure of a serious remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.

Most of the details about the bug are being kept under wraps given the potential for wide exploitation. The vendor hasn't assigned it a CVE identifier or really said much about it at all other than that it's a buffer overflow bug that leads to unauthenticated RCE.

Unauthenticated RCE issues are essentially as bad as vulnerabilities get, and D-Link warned that if customers continued to use the affected products, the devices connected to them would also be put at risk.
