Irritated me enough to actually get back on X after a 3-year hiatus 😾 #ripplefiber

[Christopher Dawson @mrdatahs]

And then when I tried to escalate today, an @RippleFiber tech had the gall to say, "let me explain how this works to you." Wrong turn of phrase for a frustrated 30-year tech veteran

[Christopher Dawson @mrdatahs]

All because @RippleFiber can't figure out how to get me connected to the network. 2 early morning (5:30am) because they also can't figure out time zones to tell me a tech is coming...and then, "nvm, this is still with tier 3 support"

[Christopher Dawson @mrdatahs]

Anyone have experience with @RippleFiber ? Really love that they're bringing fiber to rural areas, absolutely acknowledging the difficulty of building infrastructure in rural areas, but after a 3-month delay on install, my account has been with tier 3 support for 4 days

@RageSheen Held my breath for my pic at a crowded DMV, then put my n95 right the hell back on

@ex_raritas Ugh...pump that vitamin c. Feel better soon

@Sessler @MaryLTrump Pretty sure this is a parody account

There is *a lot* to unpack here...good stuff, as always

Why do I step away from Twitter for a couple weeks cuz life and return to find my feed dripping with Elon? Like seriously. 50% is Elon. Sigh

I do love cheese...there's nothing quite like a cave-aged Gruyere

[Wilde Thingy @wildethingy]

If you could change the world so there was no more war, disease or poverty but you would never be allowed to eat cheese again, which cheese would you destroy the world for?

Researchers have seen an increase in campaigns using #OneNote to deliver malware including AsyncRAT, Redline, AgentTesla, and DOUBLEBACK. It’s the latest in a pattern of TTP experimentation as actors adopt and experiment with new filetypes. https://t.co/Y6N2ChTjKV

2023-01-31 (Tuesday) - #Qakbot (#Qbot) returns after one month hiatus, now using OneNote (.one) files as initial lure. Saw #CobaltStrike on 104.237.219[.]36 using ciruvowuto[.]com as the domain. Also saw VNC traffic from this infection. IoCs available at https://t.co/xZbvuDd4Tw

I love cloud storage. But this is funny and I appreciate it after a very long week

[Christopher Dawson @mrdatahs]

Interesting analysis of Raspberry Robin...also #socgholish tidbits

[Sekoia @sekoia_io]

New @sekoia_io research shows that as many #botnets and worms, #RaspberryRobin infections can be hijacked by other threat actors to deploy their own implants via #DNShijacking or domain repurposing.

Lol...just the belly laugh I needed today

@blackgirlinmain Yes, severe depression, increased anxiety, and massive emotional dysregulation. In the midst of difficult circumstances anyway, but this is extreme
