The Silent Threat of Domain Hijacking: We secure our systems with the latest technology, yet overlook the very foundation of our digital identity—our domain name. In this attack, the hackers exploited domain control to gain access to critical systems and wreak havoc.

[Barry Hurd @barryhurd]

The Domino Effect: Once the domain was compromised, the attackers could issue new email credentials, impersonate key employees, and reset passwords across multiple systems. The result? A cascading failure that took down over 40 subdomains and crippled Sea-Tac Airport operations.

My son ordered this for her birthday and @gamestop shipped this out. As a gaming industry professional I can’t believe any store would ship this.

In addition to ruining a PlayStation they also ruined a perfectly good birthday present for someone.

[AndreaAWilliams @AndreaAWilliams]

@GameStop My son bought me a refurbished PlayStation for me for my birthday. Why the piss poor packaging? No styrofoam or any kind of protective padding in this box! I’m embarrassed for your company. Returning. Do better for your customers.
