I'm being told this can only be E5 licensing if vinegar costs extra and tartar sauce is technically included, but "on the roadmap" for 2024.
Is... is this E5 licensing?

Over the last few months, I’ve been working on a little project with the ABC here in Australia to help people visualise their exposure in data breaches. This has just gone live today and I reckon they’ve done an amazing job, check it out: abc.net.au/news/2023-05-18/d… – at Gold Coast, Queensland

The interesting dilemma with Twitter and 2FA is that well over 95% of users don’t use it AT ALL. So the fuss over the small percentage that do use SMS and not auth apps may be overrated. Hopefully the noise generated will make some of the 95% at least look into auth apps.

WhatsApp account takeover using your voicemail
The recent WhatsApp accounts takeover is simple and genius. This is how it works: You're sleeping. A "hacker" tries to login to your account via WhatsApp. You get a text message with a pincode that says "Do not share this". You don't share it, yet you still get hacked. How?

Good luck to everybody trying to import plants, seeds, fresh fruit or vegetables. The Government in its wisdom has decided on a system that only works with Internet Explorer - that browser which was retired over 7 years ago. ehmipeach.defra.gov.uk/

The recently launched smart @FisherPrice 'Chatter' Bluetooth telephone can be used as an audio bug. How @Mattel made such a basic error with security & privacy, I don't know. Bug your neighbours or worse: pentestpartners.com/security…

I have a bad feeling that Christmas is being controlled by VAR. Every time I get excited by something somebody looks at some lines on a screen and chalks it off.
I promised I would write a report covering my phishing research in 2021. That report is now live: steved3.io/data/Phishing-202… Shout out to @AmandaFGoedde for helping me edit, as well as @ninoseki for making Miteru, and @urlscanio for creating an awesome tool to help defenders.
