GHF-run food distributions in Gaza are sites of orchestrated killing: Medecins Sans Frontieres @palestine
In May, I published a deep dive on a Pakistani firm that had just been charged w/ shipping fentanyl analogs to the US and was behind a sprawling empire of scam ghostwriting, app and logo design companies that were spending millions on Google ads to promote their scam businesses.
krebsonsecurity.com/2025/05/pa…
The story received a decent amount of attention, but it almost immediately dropped off Google search entirely. Searching for the headline brought only links to other sites covering my report. This persisted for almost two weeks and I never got a satisfactory answer from Google about why the story dropped from search.
Just read a story at Ars Technica about how a tech CEO who was trying to quash reporting about his alleged misdeeds used a feature in Google known as Refresh Outdated Content to trick Google into deindexing the unflattering stories about him. The method he reportedly used was working until last month. Makes me wonder how widely known this bug was.

Weirdly, this story appears to now be buried in Google. If you search on the headline in Google (Pakistani Firm Shipped Fentanyl Analogs, Scams to US) you will see tons of places linking to my story, and you will see tags from the story. I don't see this behavior for any other story of mine on the homepage of KrebsOnSecurity.com now. But the story itself is basically gone from Google's search results. Gee, I wonder how that happened?

Are there any benefits, in terms of performance or security in 'wiping' or overwriting an SSD before reinstalling Linux? And if so, what is the best way of doing it?
I'm planning on doing a clean install of Debian 13 on my laptop soon.
I'm currently on Fedora and using encryption and will be using encryption on Debian too. I do not have a separate home partition.
Thanks 😀
like this
AFAIK it's a bad idea to use dd or another wiping tool that just overwrites the logical partitions on flash based media, and is also not that effective for security. SSDs have wear leveling and what the computer sees does not map 1 to 1 to what's actually on the flash chips. They also have extra overprovisioned space inaccessible to your computer specifically for shuffling data around when wear leveling. So not only are you wasting write cycles, it's not guaranteed to actually overwrite all your data on the flash chips themselves.
If you want to wipe an SSD, use secure erase from a tool like nvme-cli which will directly tell the controller to erase all the data. How well the controller implements that is anyone's guess though.
I'd say if you're going to the effort of fully encrypting your new install, doing a secure erase will be in that spirit and won't hurt. There won't be any performance benefit but it will (probably) ensure that none of your previous unencrypted data is still there, though even if you don't do this, just writing to the drive in normal use will eventually fill up the free space and make it less and less likely that sensitive information is recoverable, but how long this happens depends on how you use the computer.
It's generally accepted that SSDs cannot be securely wiped by writing patterns to the drive, due to features such as wear leveling and over-provisioning, and that the most secure way to wipe a mode...Super User
I have been using disktest to overwrite my SSD's.
I overwrite the SSD's before encryption. works just as well on HDD's too.
A 2TB HDD takes about 3.5 hours to overwrite with the encrypted seed
A 250GB SSD takes about 17 minutes to overwrite with the encrypted seed
install with cargo
cargo uninstall disktest
much faster than your usual suspects like dd.
it runs as root: so add this $PATH to the root .bashrc
export PATH=/root/.cargo/bin:$PATH
recent test run on 250Gb ssd with just write with no verify:
disktest --write -j0 /dev/nvme0n1
The generated --seed is:

Use this seed for subsequent --verify.

I’m not a lawyer or an expert on international law. Therefore I have no authority with which to judge on the question of genocide.
This is a copout.
It’s true that I cannot offer an authoritative legal answer. But I respond to these questions the way I do because it’s been hard for me to talk, or even think about the question. For a long time, it wasn’t clear to me exactly why. In a private conversation many months ago with an Israeli colleague who is a law professor and a scholar of international law, I let my guard down:
“Surely, this is not a genocide, right?”
“Why do you think that?” she asked.
“Because I hope it is not a genocide,” I answered.
With a lot of compassion, she told me that it was important that I hoped it was not a genocide, but that did not change the facts on the ground. “You should think about why it’s important to you that what you see in front of your eyes is not a genocide,” she said.
...
For many Jews, and even more so for Israelis, our education about genocide begins and ends with the Holocaust. We have been educated to understand genocide as presenting in one, very specific fashion. Yet, the Holocaust was a unique instance. Sadly, there are many other expressions of genocide and crimes against humanity.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shares case studies from its Center for the Prevention of Genocide of “threats of large-scale, group-targeted, identity-based persecution” that could possibly become a genocide. They include incidents in Sudan, Ukraine, India, China and many others. None of these cases include gas chambers or numbers tattooed on forearms; most of them do not have a death toll in the millions. Yet they are deemed dire enough to appear as cases to monitor under the museum’s mission to “confront genocide.”
...
The difference between me and Segal was that I thought the threats barked by Israeli politicians and generals were the macho bluster of panicked leaders responsible for the worst security failure in Israeli history. I didn’t believe they intended to do what they said they were going to do. He, however, believed them.
I realize now, as the international community has failed to stop the total destruction of Gaza, that the speed of his and others’ prompt pronouncements was not irresponsible, knee-jerk scholarship. If anything, when it comes to the threat of genocide, being alarmist is precisely what is needed.
...
I am familiar with emotions of outrage and revulsion with the conduct of the Israeli government and the dissemination of Jewish supremacy, but the question of genocide, I now understand, provoked new feelings I had not encountered before — shame and guilt.
…
Liberal Jews like myself need to overcome our shame, which pushes some of us to avoid or even deny the reality of Gaza. Instead, we must grapple with guilt; guilt not in the sense of personal culpability, but rather in our collective responsibility toward and solidarity with our Israeli kin and our Palestinian neighbors. Writing this article is my first step in this direction.
