GitHub, a company owned by Microsoft, was compromised.
A GitHub employee browsing the VS Code marketplace, an asset owned and operated by Microsoft, inadvertently donated a malicious VS Code extension, which Microsoft offers guidance and best practices on to avoid

GitHub@github
1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

@captn3m0 @inregistry btw, NIXI can just take over your domain on behalf of GoI. recent example: naavi.org/wp/nixi-exerci…

So @inregistry seems to have suspended my primary domain without sending me a single email for allegedly an invalid whois.
PSA: Never trust a country-TLD. .in has its esp worse because it doesn't allow whois privacy. But I had my home address in there.

@michaeloliver__ can non-modded clients be loaded into the map? :-)

A study supported by Internet Governance Project, Georgia Institute of Technology finds Indian ISPs have blocked 43k+ domains. Orders are confidential, users aren’t notified, & blocking is inconsistent (even gov.in affected). Details abt @Squeal 's project below:

India has currently blocked at least 43,000 domains. New study shows scale for the first time Vrinda Tulsian @vrinda_tulsian reports for ThePrint theprint.in/science/india-…

@AnxKhn Supabase wasn’t blocked at the time these measurements were collected. About keeping the list updated: this is a point-in-time study, but please feel free to fork it and add to it.

@0xAsm0d3us For Airtel, ACT, and Jio, using the resolvers configured by-default. For MTNL, You Broadband and Connect Broadband, using misconfigured, open resolvers operated by the ISP (not consumer networks).

@TheDankDel interesting. can you run an @OpenObservatory test on your phone?
English

@pranavdotexe @shantanugoel i unfortunately did not test blocking of subdomains, as that would have made the test list significantly larger and infeasible to query. since this is restricted to DNS, only domain-level blocks are visible.

@Squeal @shantanugoel great work sir - does the research also reveal what type of blockages are prominent across ISPs, like domain level or deeper?
