Hi! I'm a third year CompSci/Arts student at UNSW. I'll be posting blogs/ramblings related to the world of security engineering (z5163204)

sorry

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

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?

[The Hacker News @TheHackersNews]

A new #Android malware has been found in the wild, stealing authentication cookies 🍪 stored in the browser and other apps—including #Chrome & #Facebook—on targeted devices to hijack user accounts without requiring their actual login passwords.

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

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

Did anyone get any funny ideas from the "stealing a penguin" activity?...https://t.co/hmZ1AF8b5t
