I very rarely come 'round these parts anymore, but, I just wanted to congratulate freshly-minted Dr. @quarbby on an amazing dissertation/defense and on a wonderfully inspiring life story. Fantastic work, Lynnette!

1.1 million USDT phished on Ethereum yesterday! The attackers look for small transfers from whales and use GPU farms to brute force look-a-like addresses to fool the whale into sending funds to the attacker. Please be careful and always double-check addresses!
Toxin Tagger (T-T)@toxin_tagger

🚨ALERT🚨 ETHEREUM, 2025-12-02 16:26:23 (UTC) The attacker's lookalike address 0xec6d9...9b2e1d74 appeared to receive $1,099,516.02. Details on cryptotrade.cylab.cmu.edu/poisoning/ethe…

If you've got time to read only one thing today (which would be sad but...), read this op-ed piece by my @S3DatCMU collagues Mary Shaw and Michael Hilton. It's very insightful.
CMU School of Computer Science@SCSatCMU

"The speed and efficiency of using A.I. to write code is balanced by the reality that it often gets things wrong." A @nytimes op-ed from SCS faculty Mary Shaw and Michael Hilton describes why a CS education matters in a generative AI world. nytimes.com/2025/11/12/opi…

This is amazing research by Nadia Heninger and her co-authors Wenyi Morty Zhang, Annie Dai, Keegan Ryan, Dave Levin and Aaron Schulman. TL;DR a huge number of satellite links over our heads are totally unencrypted. satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu

@googlefi 24+ hours later, still no email. Lovely. Case number 6-3049000039644 in case there is still a tier-2 human engineer working at @googlefi -- which I'm starting to seriously wonder about.

@googlefi Ah. Progress? After three hours, the bot said "Alright, I'll escalate you to my supervisor via email. You'll receive an email confirmation about your issue, and my supervisor will take over from there." Stay tuned for more exciting adventures! What a time to be alive.

@googlefi Support is disastrous. I’m in Saudi Arabia, Fi roaming isn’t working (IMSI rejection on all networks, STC, Zain, and Mobily). Case not being escalated by chatbot, stuck in an infinite loop for 2 hours w/ basic troubleshooting steps. Need Tier-2 callback. Please assist.
