Saw a guy hunting for threat actors in the network today.
No SIEM.
No IDS.
No EDR.
He just sat there. Watching traffic in wireshark.
Like a psychopath.

@brewster_kahle @internetarchive was it a little more than a DDoS?

People act like parsing disinfo/misinfo requires you to be an expert.

But it only ever requires this: When you're not sure, be aware of that, and don't share. (3/3)

[J. Ng (she/they) @Tribbletron]

FB friend: "how the hell do i keep being tricked by AI on pics i just think are cool?"

Me: *deep sigh* "Because you share what you 'just think are cool' rather than what is true." (1/3)

[J. Ng (she/they) @Tribbletron]

When folks go 'how could I have known' or 'I didn't have time to check', it shows further lack of critical thinking.

Cause if you didn't know, then don't share.

If you didn't have time to check, then don't share.

Not clicking a button is actually less work. (2/3)

This is why we need orgs like these more than ever. 😡

We spent $365 to build an AI news site that publishes 50 times a day, plagiarizes directly from our original reporting, uses services like Fiverr and popular WordPress plugins, is SEO optimized for Google and Adsense & breaks the rules of none of them

[Joseph Cox @josephfcox]

New: in an experiment, we paid a freelancer on Fiverr $365.63 to make an AI-generated news site. It scraped websites like ours and other tech sites, used ChatGPT to reword them, then blast them out easily. An entire ecosystem designed to ripoff journalism https://t.co/xOeWT5Y017

In the least surprising infosec news of the year, BreachForums has been taken down by law enforcement. That site replaced the old BreachForums, which was taken down by law enforcement. The old BreachForums replaced RaidForums, which was taken down by law enforcement. What’s next?

Somehow fell in love with this insane monstrosity by s2 and now I miss him. #theowlhouse

[Eduardo Valdés-Hevia 👁️ @Valdevia_Art]

I don't usually do fanart since my style isn't very suited for it, but when I watched The Owl House recently I knew I had to do this one for Hooty, the horrifying bird tube! (Go watch the show if you haven't!)

Still an epic; tldr, a condo complex was mistakenly built with overlapping sensor ranges, so turning lights on/off affected your neighbors too.

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

gosh darn it

[J. Ng (she/they) @Tribbletron]

Agreed! I'd add that Rogue One and Andor fundamentally broke the #StarWars mold by not treating war as a scrappy adventure.

[dongwon 송동원 @dongwon]

the thing I love about Andor is it dragged the deeply appropriative and misapprehended "eastern" philosophy of the Jedi out behind the woodshed and replaced it with mutual aid, respect for people's traditions and culture, and a faith in the importance of small acts of resistance.

New from 404 Media: that spy site which is scraping Discord en masse and selling users' activity and messages is linked to the harassment site Kiwi Farms. User there is using the site to target specific servers. Gives more context on how the tool is used https://t.co/xmatwsnVnC
