Not exactly a Security Smorgasbord post, but interesting and important stuff.
Lawrence has an post about a new sort of phishing scam pretending to be a Paypal invoice for a Walmart purchase.

Twitter's ex-Chief of security says that the company is entirely uninteresting in knowing just how many bots make up the Twitter user population. What makes this really big security news is that the ex-Chief is none other than Mudge, one of the original L0pht guys. He has big, big stature in the security community.

ReplyDeleteTwatter....along with Gargle, FaecesBook and almost all the other Big Tech companies are OWNED by the left. Everything they do is in service to the lefts agenda. There is nobody in a position of authority who intends to do a damn thing about their ongoing abusive misconduct. It's all one giant incestuous relationship.
ReplyDeleteAh, The Register's BOFH column. I had forgotten about them.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of your picture of a gate on a road with tracks around it since there is no fence...
