Definitely Not Michael

@Revolut_io @GillesPavan @DocSparse @github That sounds expensive, drawn out, and not something I would ever want to have to deal with.

@GillesPavan @DocSparse @github we have these systems - they're called "courts" and "class action lawsuits"

@github copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits large chunks of my copyrighted code, with no attribution, no LGPL license. For example, the simple prompt "sparse matrix transpose, cs_" produces my cs_transpose in CSparse. My code on left, github on right. Not OK.

@RobertArthurBT @JimboWinsbro @fastly Status pages are definitely something you want to outsource or at the very least host on a separate platform!

We identified a service configuration that triggered disruptions across our POPs globally and have disabled that configuration. Our global network is coming back online. Continued status is available at status.fastly.com/incidents/vpk0…

@BLKMDL3 @elonmusk @Tesla I'd like to see even an uncertified video of it before calling it real.

So I guess it’s now kinda official that the Space X package Roadster does a 1.1 second 0-60mph 🤯🤯🤩. Wow @elonmusk #Tesla #SpaceX

@ShimonPro "any potential intoxicants in his system" meaning we didn't find anything in his system

@rollthestack Last I read about this, the attack was only on the mail app (no rootkits :'( ). An interceptor service that scans your mail is a good defence. Preventing background downloads only delays the attack if you use apple mail... Unless you check every email using another app first.

trib.al/XK3MZiW Since they can install viruses without needing the target to open their mail, can this be extended to more malicoous software such as rootkits? How can something like this be prevented. Im thinking by preventing background downloading.

@AlCapwn6 @comp6441 It's rather amazing, the internet has been around our whole lives yet it's still so young people are finding new ways to apply old technologies all the time!

DDG botnet was first seen 2 years ago but resurged with P2P communication. The new layer means that the botnet can continue to function even if connections to the control center are severed. threatpost.com/p2p-ddg-botnet… @comp6441 #Botnet #comp6441

@socc_drawer Hahahahaha what is this!? Do they realize they're late to April Fools?

what an absolute joke #comp6441

Zoom has had a spike in popularity for use in WFH/LFH, and with fame comes scrutiny. Ex-NSA hacker Patrick Wardle has discovered 2 zero-days in Zoom's macOS client that could grant local root privileges. threatpost.com/two-zoom-zero-… techcrunch.com/2020/04/01/zoo… @comp6441 #comp6441

@WellPaidGeek I was half-way through cracking open the champagne :(

After the recent announcement from Google that they will be removing JavaScript from Chrome, and with IE and Safari set to follow, its clear that JavaScript will be obsolete within 12 months. Time to learn Python.

@AOC Well you see, it's called unregulated capitalism. When you work you get paid and you use that money to pay for things. When you don't work you go hungry on the street.

I just don’t understand how it’s reasonable to expect what could be millions of people and small businesses, who suddenly had their incomes cut off, to pay rent, mortgages, & major bills on Apr 1st without any payment moratoriums or immediate relief.

Oh boii.... I won't say where for obvious reasons, but let's just say it's a long-standing, well respected, and trusted organization with global ties. @comp6441 #comp6441

Researchers were able to crack a 4096-bit RSA key by listening to the high-frequency hum of a CPU with a microphone. They were able to do this 30cm away with a cellphone. extremetech.com/extreme/173108… @comp6441 #comp6441 #sidechannel

@rollthestack Security questions are a common verification used in phone calls. So it's likely a politeness ("workplace hazard") concern not a security one :)

Would there be any security reason to disable profanity in security questions? Most of the time the answer isnt seen by human eyes since theyre hidden behind dots.

@Bcklandisdreamy Reuse bags, not your password.

Password reuse; good for the earth, bad for security #comp6441

999 is the most secure combination for a 3 wheel lock against an in-order brute-force attack. It's also probably one of the first 20 codes tried in a dictionary attack. @comp6441 #comp6441 #secrets

The perfect (proven uncrackable) cipher is a truly random secret, the same length or longer than the message. As long as it's never used again. Now I just need a secure way to get the cipher to you... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_… @comp6441 #comp6441 #secrets
