Most Tier 1 analysts fumble the same Linux commands every shift.
Not because they're bad. Because nobody hands you a reference built for the actual job.
So I built one: the SOC Tier 1 Linux Fieldbook.
A thread on what's inside ↓

🇿🇦 Alleged University of South Africa (UNISA) Tech Support Database Advertised on Underground Forum
* A threat actor has posted what they claim is a database associated with https://t.co/ilj1ooLAlE, a subdomain linked to the University of South Africa (UNISA).
* According to the forum post:
* Target: https://t.co/ilj1ooLAlE
* Claimed leak date: 10 June 2026
* Advertised size: 21 KB
* Described as a "Tech Support DB"
* The threat actor claims the exposed data includes:
* Customer IDs
* Technician IDs
* First and last names
* Email addresses
* Phone numbers
* Passwords
* Street addresses
* City, state, postal code, and country information
* The post indicates the dataset is relatively small and "contains very few data," suggesting this may be a limited database rather than a large-scale institutional breach.
* At the time of publication, Daily Dark Web could not independently verify:
* The authenticity of the dataset
* Whether the database originated from UNISA systems
* Whether the records are current or historical
* Whether passwords are stored in plaintext, hashed, or encrypted
* Whether the data has been previously exposed
Analyst Note:
Although the advertised dataset appears small, the combination of contact details, address information, and password-related fields could still present a significant risk to affected individuals. Even limited datasets are frequently leveraged for phishing, credential-stuffing attacks, identity fraud, and further compromise of institutional accounts.

Although I'm ok with being single, i can't wait to actually meet someone who's actually interested in me. The constant crave of wanting to talk, asking about my day, my feelings, sharing laughter & being heard is so rare nowadays. Nobody communicates anymore. Real is Rare.
Warning to people without a matric looking for jobs in South Africa
Scammers in South Africa are using artificial intelligence (AI) to create highly convincing fake recruitment campaigns to steal personal data from job seekers, often offering jobs for people without a matric.

I don’t think people understand what it means to get a job in tech without a degree
You don’t live a normal work life like your peers who have one. You can be employed and required to work 8 hours a day, but because it feels like you have nothing to fall back on, your 8-hour day quietly becomes 12. You end up compensating for knowledge you think everyone else got in varsity. You push yourself to prove you belong on the same level as the degree holders.
Some days it’s exhausting. But it also builds something in you that a certificate never could
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
Wait, what?
R483 million paid, yet critical digital infrastructure is allegedly finding its way onto dark web marketplaces.
I went looking for answers and found far more than I expected. In some cases, access to internal systems including the mail server, rates clearance, supplier database is being offered for as little as $100 per week.
A whole mess!!
Small things that aren’t small for me.
1. Good morning texts
2. Voice notes
3. Unexpected texts
4. +4 messages
5. Showing interest
6. I heard that you like this
7. This reminds me of you
8. Unexpected calls
9. Remembering my birthday
10. Small updates even when busy
11. Small video clips
12. Sending songs that remind them of me
13. Laughing at my bad jokes
14. Have you eaten?
15. I saw this and thought of you
This guy lied on his CV and got the job. Fake degree, fake experience, everything.
Months later HR found out and fired him immediately. He signed, packed up, and left quietly.
That same afternoon—the system crashed. Payroll, emails, everything down.
IT couldn’t fix it. Senior engineers tried. Nothing worked.
Then someone said it: only he ever understood that system.
HR called him. He picked up: “I don’t work there anymore.”
The system stayed down for hours… until they rehired him on a higher salary.
He then said, Next time, verify skills before verifying CVs.💀
