Supernova+ posted info to their Telegram stating that Russia's MAX is basically a repackaged Telegram fork, under the control of the Russian FSB... which is essentially the FBI, CIA, and NSA all rolled into one. Supernova+ also released some really detailed information on MAX that #infosec , #admin , #security , #hackers , #freespeech #activist , etc. should be VERY interested in, including how to protect yourself from MAX, if you're required to install it. I translated/screen captured the info.

The #libssh team released version 0.12.0 and 0.11.4 including security fixes. Make sure to update. libssh is a C library implementing the SSH protocol.

Highlights:
* Support for FIDO/U2F keys
* Support for hybrid key exchange mechanisms using Quantum Resistant cryptography for all backends
* Support for Ed25519 keys through PKCS#11
* Use curve25519 implementation from mbedTLS and libgcrypt
* Support for GSSAPI Key Exchange
