sorry

@rollthestack It´s definitely a questionable way of handling anti-cheat, especially if/when vulnerabilities are found and exploited...

@Shell1nTheGhost My goodness, didnt realise they handled anti-cheat using root kits. Guess i’m not downloading the game. Weighing up a bit of fun against the risks makes it seem not worth it. Not good at fps games anyways :/

Im guessing 80% of the security course plays some sort of game, and 80% of those know of Riot Games’ new game Valorant. Time for you to flex your security skills and earn yourself $100,000!!dotesports.com/valorant/news/…

youtu.be/itMECROHFQQ I thought this was an April Fools at first... didnt realise it was that easy. There seems to be easy ways to prevent this but still...

Received this somewhat unlikely 2FA security code... is my account possessed by the devil?

Just saw a guy in a high vis vest with security emblazoned on it and a face mask going through peoples bins in a residential block. It seemed he had a bag with him he was depositing things from the bin into. Is this normal behaviour? Or maybe dumspter diving?? #SecurityEverywhere

Robinhood, a popular stocks/crypto trading app was down today for a seemingly impossible-to-forget reason. Such a highly secure service broken by such a simple error. Makes you wonder if any other systems were affected by this #comp6441

Went into a store today and while paying for something at the counter I was able to see the monitor for the security cameras...except it seemed none of them had vision or were turned on! Probably not something you'd want your customers knowing about #comp6441 #SecurityEverywhere

@RecursionOverf1 That if the animals themselves can escape, it doesn't give me too much hope as to the security stopping anyone breaking them out. As it is a medical research facility there could be some potentially dangerous and infective agents that would also be carried into the public sphere

@Shell1nTheGhost So what ideas/concepts/lessons would you apply from this to the penguins?

Did anyone get any funny ideas from the "stealing a penguin" activity?...7news.com.au/news/nsw/baboo…
