ReynardSec<p>8080 - a short story of 4 digits and EU regulations in pratice </p><p>In Poland, the reporting mechanism via the short number 8080 enables rapid, citizen‑driven identification of smishing and cyber‑fraud attempts. Reporting a malicious message involves simply forwarding the suspicious SMS to 8080, which delivers it directly to CERT Polska for analysis [1].</p><p>Upon receipt and confirmation of malicious content, each new SMS pattern is published by CERT and within ~5 minutes, automatically fetched by all cooperating telecom providers, which then block any incoming messages matching it.</p><p>The entire system operates under the Act of 5 July 2018 on the National Cybersecurity System [2], which is the Polish implementation of the EU's NIS Directive [3] and tasks CERT with maintaining a registry of malicious SMS patterns and coordinating with telecom operators.</p><p>In 2024 alone, 746 new patterns were produced, preventing 1 475 366 fraudulent SMS and halting 1 073 744 scam messages before they reached users. Citizens filed 354 566 reports, of which 140 659 were classified as malicious [4].</p><p>It's difficult for me to assess whether these figures are high or low. The system may still lack sufficient patterns, and the number of blocked messages might be too small relative to the true scale of SMS communication and smishing threats... but hey, it's still better than nothing, isn't it?</p><p>[1] <a href="https://cert.pl/baza-wiedzy/falszywe-smsy/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cert.pl/baza-wiedzy/falszywe-s</span><span class="invisible">msy/</span></a><br>[2] <a href="https://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU20180001560" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocD</span><span class="invisible">etails.xsp?id=WDU20180001560</span></a> <br>[3] <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2016/1148/oj/eng" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2016</span><span class="invisible">/1148/oj/eng</span></a> <br>[4] <a href="https://cert.pl/uploads/docs/Raport_CP_2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cert.pl/uploads/docs/Raport_CP</span><span class="invisible">_2024.pdf</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/socialengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialengineering</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nationalsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nationalsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cert</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/itsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>itsecurity</span></a></p>

But the U.S. secretary of state, who also served as national security adviser, knew different when it came to dealing with major powers. His hero was the Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, who somehow brought together the unlikely combination of Austria, the United Kingdom, Prussia, Russia, and a number of even smaller allies and their incompatible leaders into the alliance that finally defeated Napoleon in 1815. As Kissinger understood, even lone rangers need friends.</p><p>It is an insight that appears to be lost on U.S. President <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/topics/trump-administration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a>. Since returning to office in January, Trump has called the United States’ closest allies cheaters and freeloaders. Japan and other Asian trading partners, he insists, are “very spoiled”; immediate North American neighbors stand accused of exporting drugs and criminals. He freely and publicly labels the leaders of some of the United States’ most important democratic partners as has-beens, weak, or dishonest, while heaping praise on autocrats he finds easier to deal with, such as Hungarian President Viktor Orban (“a very great leader”), Salvadoran strongman Nayib Bukele (“a great friend”), North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un (“a smart guy”), and—at least until very recently—Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has called “a genius” and “very savvy” in attacking Ukraine.In what would have been unthinkable in previous administrations, including Trump’s first, the United States in February even sided against its own democratic allies and with Russia and other authoritarian states, such as North Korea and Belarus, in voting against a UN resolution that condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and upheld the latter’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.</p><p>Perhaps most baffling, at a time when Washington is trying to contain <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/regions/china" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">China</a> and shore up U.S. defenses in the Indo-Pacific, the administration is preparing punitive tariffs on South Korea and Japan, the United States’ closest Asian allies, as well as on a sweeping list of European partners it is trying to keep away from Beijing. U.S. allies around the world are also rattled by the public musings of Trump and members of his cabinet that the so-called nuclear umbrella under which the American nuclear deterrent was a guarantee for their defense is no longer a sure thing. Such is now the level of doubt that in July, France and the United Kingdom announced a new agreement to begin providing extended nuclear deterrence in Europe for themselves, and allies such as South Korea, Poland, and even Japan have begun to contemplate acquiring their own nuclear weapons.</p><p><strong><em>Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.</em></strong></p><blockquote></blockquote><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/making-america-alone-again-alliances-margaret-macmillan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Making America Alone Again: History Offers Few Parallels for Washington’s Repudiation of Its Own Alliances</a></em></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/alliances/" target="_blank">#Alliances</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/foreign-affairs/" target="_blank">#ForeignAffairs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/isolationism/" target="_blank">#Isolationism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/national-security/" target="_blank">#NationalSecurity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a></p>
