@troyhunt@haveibeenpwned@IntCyberDigest@Telstra Just to understand, as a German I'm not familiar with the terms.. but they are invoking some legal stuff, so that criminals (sometimes known to ignore the law) don't do it?
On August 4th, 2025, APCS, Access Personal Checking Services, one of the largest organizations in the United Kingdom for performing "Disclosure and Barring Services" a/k/a background checks, determined its data has been compromised as a result of a 3rd party company named Intradev.
APCS works with over 19,000 organizations.
APCS is certified under the UK National Cyber Security Centre Cyber Essentials program.
APCS has stated the following:
- They don't know when it occured
- They don't know what was accessed
- They don't know if anything was exfiltrated
- They don't know the scope of the compromise
However, per the e-mail APCS has sent to customers, they believe data impacted includes:
- Basic personal information
- Passport
- Drivers License
- National Insurance details
APCS has asserted they're still investigating the matter.
BUT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. The United Kingdom NEEDS YOU to keep the kids safe by giving companies your drivers license and/or passport. They NEED to see your information so they can make sure you're sufficiently aged to view YouTube, Discord, Spotify, or Wikipedia. We NEED to keep the kids safe. Give these companies your sensitive information. It's totally safe.
Agreed. The value of PR descriptions is often in things that are NOT directly inferable from the changes:
- What original problem led to this PR?
- Are there related issues / prior discussions?
- What alternatives have been tried? Does this supersede previous attempts?
- Why are certain seemingly unreasonable choices made? What are the tradeoffs?
AI that generates summary based on the changes of an isolated PR is not really helpful in a meaningful way. Good PR descriptions need not only a holistic understanding of the entire codebase, but even the contribution history of the project. That’s of course harder to do, but I think it’s a possible direction to make it actually useful.
@DocOnco Menschen werden respektvoller anderen gegenüber. Ein direktes Telefonat sagt "meine Zeit ist wichtiger als deine, mein Problem muss sofort gelöst werden, und mir ist es egal ob ich dich bei irgendwas unterbreche". Asynchrone Kommunikation kann zeitlich geplant werden, von beiden
@isinWonderland Kenne von früher(vor 20J in MV) auch nur Sportfest(sogar mit Schach ☺️), war schon leicht entsetzt was meine Kinder bei Bundesjugendspielen machen müssen..

@leo_leo_leo_le0@SciCoDad@bininbern@HannesAuer Definitiv der beste Weg, man weiß nicht ob der andere gerade zu tun hat. Deswegen schreibt man eine Mail, so dass die Gegenstelle antworten kann sobald sie Zeit hat. Leider gibt es noch viele deren Zeit wichtiger ist als die anderer Leute und deswegen auf ihre Telefonate bestehen
