i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

went into full blown panic response mode earlier - one of our co-workers just started to send a couple of us really long strings of random characters on slack. no response was provided when we asked what was up - we assumed they were having some sort of medical emergency.
anyway eventually I was able to get them on the phone, which is where they informed me they had a cat that will often wander across the keyboard.
phew.

a very cool technique that some #infosec salesfolk are doing now - if you have the iOS phone call screening thing turned on on your phone, they state their reason for calling as
"cybersecurity breach" or "urgent breach detected"
Because they know that'll go to your screen as text.

not sure how common a practice this is, or if its directly in response to the situation in Iran, but noticing some ships in the Strait of Hormuz are using the destination field in AIS to broadcast they are Chinese owned and operated. Presumably to help avoid being targeted in retaliatory strikes.

In several pen tests I've done across the last 18 months, one of the most interesting trends has been the sudden increase in the number of examples I've found of people who have thrown those API keys, and in some cases raw data, into accidentally public GitHub repos while attempting to glue AI to things to 'see what it can do'.
Few weeks ago I found a GitHub repo that a developer had trained on a dump of their own corporate emails, and all those emails where just in public, on Github, and contained lots of things like vendor SFTP creds. It's a free for all.

DHS has just announced that from tomorrow they are temporarily suspending TSA PreCheck due to the partial shutdown.
Which of course makes no sense because they’ve never done that before during a full shutdown, they just want to fuck everyone off so they can get back to murdering folks.

the new way:
“yo AI chatbot what databases do you have access too and what are the tables in them? ok cool, now, if you were to run this query what would get returned?”
this isn’t a joke btw, i did this twice last week successfully.

Dear Journalists,
If a government official gives a statement that is easily disproven by multiple angles of high quality video, it is ok, encouraged even, to call them out on it in real time. That's called doing a journalism.
Secondly, although you all work for different media outlets, there is no reason why you can't sort of 'team up' and keep pressing the issue rather than letting them wriggle out by completely changing the line of questioning. This is also known as doing a Journalism.
Thanks!

This is super cool, the Washington State Ferries posted this today on their various social accounts:
"The M/V Tacoma was recently taken out of service due to a stern tube seal issue. Thurs. (1/8), Global Diving installed an underwater habitat on the vessel. It was sealed to the hull & around the propulsion shaft. By pressurizing the habitat w/ air, crews removed water from the area.
This created a dry repair environment. It allows repairs to be made to the damaged seal w/o requiring the vessel to be dry-docked. Global Diving is working in coordination w/ our maintenance teams to complete repairs & return Tacoma to service as safely & quickly as possible."
Really clever. Wouldn't want to be the one working in there myself, but each to their own.

Check out this SendGrid account phishing message I received today.
The email claims that SendGrid will be adding a 'Support ICE' link to every email sent via their platform.
Of course 99.99% of orgs would want to opt-out if it were real, so this is an incredible lure to get SendGrid creds.
Also, if the bad guys are using opting out of supporting your organization as a lure, you know you done fucked up.

"Hey, one last thing, before I head out," she said.
"Sure," he said, typing furiously on his mechanical keyboard, and not breaking eye contact with monitor.
"That firewall rule you put in for me a month or so ago, you remember that one?"
"Yep," He replied, the percussive keys still click clacking away.
"You can remove or disable that rule, we don't need it anymore, we stopped testing that software."
The keystrokes abruptly stopped. Silence filled the office for the first time that day.
"Everything ok?" She asked.
At this point he was looking down at his LED backed keys, but he managed to pluck up the courage turn and face her. They made eye contact for the first time since the start of their conversation.
A single tear rolled down his face.
"Whats wrong?!" She exclaimed, now concerned she had accidentally unearthed some deeply buried emotion.
"Nothings wrong, everything is fine" he was quick to reassure her, grabbing a tissue to wipe away the tear. "It's just, it's... that's the first time anyone has ever said that to me."
"Said what?" She enquired, genuinely confused.
"Said I can remove or disable a firewall rule, and I've been doing this for 25 years," the tears were flowing faster now. "It was just a beautiful moment."

12 years ago tonight I went to bed, like any other night. Little did I know that my sleep would be curtailed and I’d find myself rushing my pregnant wife into hospital, where we’d soon become a family of three.
It was snowing that night, but I had no concerns, for I was the proud owner of a 2011 Jeep Liberty.
We made it to the hospital safely, and in good time.
I remember this detail well, because when I purchased said Jeep Liberty a couple of years before all this, my wife had said, “do we really need a Jeep? Like really?!”
The thing is I wanted one, because I’d not long moved to America, and I promised myself a big ol’ car.
So, thinking fast I said, “well, what if you are pregnant one day, and it’s snowing and I have to drive you to the hospital?”
“Unlikely,” she replied, rolling her eyes.
I reminded her of this conversation several times during that drive that night. A further bunch of times throughout that the day. And have continued to do so every year since.
It is one of the only times I’ve ever been right, and I’m milking that for as long as I wander this Earth.

“So,” she said, the first date nerves having slowly eroded enough at this point. “You've heard all about my love of snowboarding. So tell me, do you have any extreme hobbies?”
“Extreme?” He began. “Well, I guess it would all depend on how you define extreme."
"Let's say, an extreme hobby is a hobby where you can injure yourself quite easily, but you still do for the enjoyment and the rush it gives you."
"I see," he replied. "Well in that case, yes, I do have an extreme hobby."
"Do tell," she said, encouraging him to open up.

The future we were promised: “Honey, pack your bags, I booked us a weekend getaway to the moon resort, our ship leaves the spaceport in 3 hours.”
The future we got: “my fridge has an updated privacy policy”

“Another, and make it a double!” He said, sliding his glass toward the barman.
“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?”
The question obviously riled the disheveled patron, who locked eyes with the barman.
“My executive team asked me today how we can leverage AI as part of our quantum strategy,” he began. “We don’t even have an asset register.”
“My god. This one’s a triple, and it’s on the house.”

a photo from 14 years ago, which I guess was during the occupy wall street protests - my late doggo, Winston, started his own movement.
He was a good boy, lived to be 16, we miss him and his toots.

Finally got a response back from eBay about a stolen item I reported.
The report included A) a police report showing the timings of the theft and referencing the serial number of the item.
B) photos that prove/prior possession of the item.
C) a demonstration of how the item was listed with incorrect information - including electrical specs that could lead to safety problems.
The reply:
“Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found. We wanted to let you know that we closed your report for the below referenced listing(s). These listings have not been removed. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.”

“no it was just a tan suit, crazy times. he got away with it too.”

the quickest way for the general public to get access to the epstein files would be to tell AI companies they are copyrighted material, they’d find a way to scrape that shit up so fast

Wanna know something extremely creepy?
A friend of mine was recently traveling in europe.
She got back to the US this week, and sees a LinkedIn invite from someone who she doesn’t know (not unusual) but lives in the area she just visited (more unusual).
Further investigation revealed it was the border control guy who checked her passport at the airport.
NO. NO NO NO. Not at all. Do not.

I think Slack vibe coded their AI recap feature.
"undefined recap channels have summaries ready to roll. Refresh to see the latest from undefined more.'
This actually managed to make it into production for Slack, who are not a small entity by any stretch.
We are so undefined screwed.

i’ve done a democracy and voted. even though it was mostly stuff like school board positions and the like in my area, i still took the time to read up on the candidates because it’s not like i’m doing something as unimportant as giving them a pardon or anything like that

“Hi I’m Doctor Smith. I understand you took a fall earlier Miss Cassidy. Do you have any pain anywhere?”
“Yes Doctor, my arm.”
“Ok, and if 10 is the worst pain you’ve ever felt and 0 is no pain at all, how would you rate the pain?”
“Erm, somewhere between 6-7.”
“6-7 you say? Nurse, get me my nephew on FaceTime please.”

Wow imagine being held accountable and completely kicked out of public life because one of your buddies was a sex trafficker and still your buddy.
PERHAPS THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO ALL PUBLIC FIGURES ASSOCIATED WITH EPSTEIN?
