RSAF operates ~40 F-15SG and ~59 F-16s. Training detachments keep up to ~12 F-15SGs in Idaho and a smaller number of F-16s in Arizona, so the large majority remain based in Singapore at Tengah and Paya Lebar. No F-35s are in Singapore yet (first deliveries go to the US late 2026; 8 F-35As planned for Tengah from 2029).

West to East Singapore is like Shah Alam to Ampang.

Every business leader with P&L responsibility in a FAANG has at least 2-3% undeclared deals in his pocket. It's only pulled out when you need to meet targets, otherwise it comes out next fiscal year so you start the year running. I thought everyone knew that.
Replying to @xAccioPeace
FAANG gives you a lot of leeway and perks but have a high expectation of delivery and timelines. Videos showing day in the life types miss out the harder performance and delivery reviews. I once got a very concerned call because it was a month to closing and I was 4% short of target.

30 years ago when @fx_tsy and I breached AsiaConnect, I was asked why we went with The Star's InTech instead of NST to publish the zero day breach. My answer, "I trust them more, they are real journalists" Cc @Aisehman
Journalists have a tendency to make things sound differently from how they actually are.

Should ask DAP and the likes of @Aisehman and @walski69 if Anwar hiding the former anti corruption chief's shareholdings is good for the optics, let alone the nation. Hopefully they have time to respond from obsessing over PAS.

Malware targeting Malaysian companies through a phishing attempt. Are NACSA and MyCERT on top of it and have issued warning advisories or are they still in slumber?
Hello, Little People Living Inside Of My Computer, I have made my second ever YouTube video briefly discussing the Chinese government trying to compromise companies in Malaysia. It was fun. youtu.be/ZcsVsr4rpgs

🇲🇾 🚨 RHYSIDA RANSOMWARE CLAIMS ATTACK ON MALAYSIA'S INTI INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY & COLLEGES The Rhysida ransomware gang has listed INTI International University & Colleges, one of Malaysia's largest private higher-education groups, as a new victim on its data-leak site. The listing, dated Oct 30, 2026, does not say what data was allegedly taken or how much, and no samples have been verified. The claim has not been independently verified, and INTI has not publicly confirmed an incident. ⚠️ Analyst Note: Rhysida has a long record of hitting universities and schools, and in past cases it auctioned stolen staff and student records, including ID documents. CISA and the FBI have warned that the group uses phishing and Cobalt Strike to get in and runs double extortion. INTI students and staff should watch for phishing that uses university branding. Treat this as an UNVERIFIED threat-actor claim, NOT confirmation of a breach. #DDW #DarkWeb #Ransomware #Rhysida #Malaysia #HigherEducation #INTI #DataBreach #ThreatIntelligence #CyberSecurity

Not only are the landlords racist, the tenants are too. Tell me again Chinese chauvinism isn't a problem in Malaysia. Go on, tell me.

First tampered Ledgers, now a reported implant in a Trezor Safe 5. Same reseller, CryptoBilis. Trezor has gone public fast, with help from @SEAL_911. Whoever is behind it, that shop is compromised. If you bought there since March, get a new seed.
CryptoBilis update We've been made aware, through responsible disclosure, of a single hardware implant in a Trezor Safe 5 device bought from the reseller CryptoBilis in August 2026. No CryptoBilis buyer has reported a loss of funds to us. IMPORTANT: If you bought a Trezor from CryptoBilis from March 2026 onwards, we know this is unsettling. Here’s what to do: Already using it? Move your funds to a newly created wallet with a new seed as soon as possible. Do not reuse the old seed in any wallet, hardware or software. If you don’t have another secure hardware wallet available, we recommend temporarily migrating your funds to a software wallet or an exchange you are familiar with. Not set up yet? Don’t set it up, and never enter your existing wallet backup on it. We haven’t received the device to confirm this report, but based on the customer’s description, we’re treating it as credible and sharing it now so customers who purchased a Trezor via CryptoBilis can secure their funds as a precaution. Our security team will examine the device as soon as it arrives. On October 9, 2026, we removed CryptoBilis as a reseller following reports of tampered Ledger devices sold through it. Since then, we have been inspecting Trezor devices that customers bought from CryptoBilis and have found no signs of tampering on any of the four devices we’ve received so far. NEVER share your wallet backup (recovery phrase) with anyone. Trezor Support will never ask for it. If you are affected by this incident, please keep your CryptoBilis device and contact Support to receive a new Trezor hardware wallet: trezor.io/support#open-chat We're investigating and will post updates here as soon as we know more. Thank you to the customer who reported this through our responsible disclosure program, and to @SEAL_911 for working alongside our teams on the response. Reports and engagement like this help us protect everyone else. For more information, visit our blog: trezor.io/blog/news/implant-…

I know it’s taken longer than expected, but Grok 4.8 will not be a disappointment. We’re not optimizing for benchmarks and I really don’t care how Grok does on those, but it will be incredibly useful.

Thing @tevanraj should invite the Binance DevOps engineer to give a talk at the next meetup titled, "How to royally screw up and allow the largest theft in human history".
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified. The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete. As an immediate precaution, Binance has: - temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed; - revoked the affected address authorisation; - engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions. binance.com/en/support/annou…

The sophistication in laundering the stolen funds is sublime.
apparently the binance hacker had all his money frozen but he did a genius move so instead of having his funds stucked he used the stolen money to borrow ETH on aave and now Aave is the one stucked with frozen funds jesus the north koreans are really good at this sht

This is why it's called "decentralized finance". One minute it's your money in your wallet and the next minute it's decentralized in hundreds and thousands of anonymous wallets. 😂
