People spending the past decade knowingly training AI by swapping their face with their dog’s in some phone cancer app and being like “why does this trash hallucinate all the time”

To check if your Google Workspace has been compromised by the same tool that compromised Vercel:
1. Go to admin.google.com/ac/owl/list…
- This is Google Admin Console > Security > Access and Data Control > API Controls > Manage app access > Accessed Apps
2. Filter by ID = 110671459871-30f1spbu0hptbs6…
- This is the ID of the compromised OAuth app
If you see an app after filtering, you have potentially been compromised

Two weeks without mobile internet improved mental health more than antidepressants and reversed roughly 10 years of attentional decline.

It's November 2001. Chop Suey is playing in xmms on your Sun workstation. You fire up IE5 and point it at your just-finished PoC – a buffer overflow in gopher handling, of all things. The calculator pops up. You don't know it yet, but this is the best computing will ever be
I may not be qualified for much, but messing with bot authors is something that I've gotten somewhat good at these last few years.

Listening to @SecExplained to get caught up about Uber’s ex-CISO getting charged. Definitely not surprised and glad @_lavalamp @IAmRedShift broke down the indictment before I started reading the overhyped mess that is #InfosecTwitter
I have to admit I was drawn into the FUD around this case, but once you dig into the facts it seems pretty clear that Joe's actions were criminal. Company lawyers can't protect you from #criminal convictions.
No, the conviction of Joe Sullivan in relation to a 2016 data beach at #Uber doesn't change the risk profile of being a #CISO. Unless, of course, you're committing criminal offenses.

A lot of FUD going around re: the recent #twitter #whistleblower report and we attempted to sort through it as best we could. Special episode for me as @dotMudge is one of the reasons I have the job I do today.

It's not often that news cycles bare so much fruit, but this week is one of those times :P This episode we talk about the recent #twitter #whistleblower report coming from @dotMudge

I find it hard to believe that the extent of access the attackers seemed to have achieved would not result in access to user data... but hey part of a strong security program requires a good PR team :P
We're back for season 5!

Credit repair companies offer to “fix your credit,” for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
We sent a DoNotPay employee to interview for jobs at credit repair companies to figure out how they do it so that we can automate it and replace them.
This is what we discovered:
