Do you know about quite old (yet still sometimes working) technique to enumerate DNS zones using NSEC records?

Open DNS zone transfers are 90s thing, right? Well our experiment shows that a shocking 8% of all global nameservers have still zone transfers publicly open, letting anyone dump entire zone records

My first thought was "Wow malware is scraping images". Then I opened iPhoto and typed a few words that appeared in photos. Like "Stream Deck" pulled up a picture of my desk.
My guess is malware is just reading from the OS's photo index database and not doing any scraping at all. Which makes this more scary as if you are someone that takes a picture of your Ledger recovery phrase (or passwords), then it could be stolen in a couple-seconds if anyone ever has your phone.
All it takes is handing your phone to someone to take a picture, them opening the photo app, and searching "Recovery Phrase" to pull up the ledger sheet. No fancy malware needed.
I think it's important to emphasize how low-tech this hack can be as people think they are too small for sophisticated malware.

Web programmers seem to have no idea just how fast computers have become. The vast majority of all SaaS apps ever made could easily run on a single, beefy beast. Main reason to add multiple machines is for redundancy, and even that is something you can put off for ages.
The CPU % on my VPS server even went down not up since @lexfridman podcast and @elonmusk tweet
While traffic more than tripled and revenue doubled
Not serverless, not edge, not kubernetes, not auto scaling
Just 1 simple VPS for all my sites
Thx to @DanielLockyer my DevOps guy
