What’s been posted for May 17, 2023

Hello folks,

Here’s what has been posted here to the blog that might be of interest in case you’ve missed something.

I’ve definitely been trying to post more, and there may be stuff that we’ll post that may be a bit outdated but worth reading in the future.

In the following list, i will comment on some, but not all. Everything leads to blog posts here, to outside reading off of the network.

• Just last night, I posted about a new Malware for Mac called Geacon. Geacon is a new mac problem is the blog post. Mac users, please be aware, even if it isn’t hitting us in the states yet, you should be aware so if you do get something, you know what to look for.
• We have yet another russian that is wanted. Another russian and another $10 million for someone in Russia talks about someone who is wanted, says he won’t leave Russia, and was responsible for three different Ransomware groups and their distruction. Possible moron? Maybe.
• Twitter is so full of it. They’ve been responsible for kicking us completely out, unless we want to use the site or some sort of app. Twitter buys job start up, tens of millions of dollars out the door talks about the fact that they baught a company that does job placement work among other things. They fired everyone in accessibility! They fired those that do moderation of the platform to keep it as safe as possible! Now, they buy a company that won’t do them much good in my opinion? What’s a job startup company going to provide Twitter?
• Almost 3 million school dude customers affected by breach won’t affect most users, but it may affect some. Read the accompanying article and you decide what to make out of it and whether you share it.
• A Kim Komando article that talks about password rules. Seems like the same article, maybe some slight changes. New Password rules? is the blog post.
• Talked about on multiple podcasts, big story: Pharmerica with 5.8 million breached is the blog post.
• Want to still run a booter/stresser service? 13 more taken down may be a future topic in late July.
• Toyota’s Japan division suffers an exposure that lasted 10 plus years

Prison sentence of 6 years for insider who stole gigs of data

• Linda Yaccarino will be the new CEO of twitter
• This got some commentary, Meta’s platforms are blamed for 80% of scams is the blog post and I’m glad I hardly use their platform.
• Black Basta, part of the Fin7 group, is back and hit something bigger than capita
• This one caught my attention. Looks worse than before. The Earn it act seems to be back, may die … again
• Andy Greenberg writes, Twitter’s encrypted direct messaging feature is half baked if baked at all
• George Santos arrested, pleads not guilty
• Prince Harry taking the press to court, bunches of stuff too
• Change in DM replies, encrypted messaging coming, more
• Here’s another article on Joseph O’Connor
• Could it be possible for the U.k. to lose WhatsApp?

There are other things that I did not blog, as it may be accessibility related or just not putting it here. You can bring it up if you wish. Some had commentary from me here, some did not. I hope that some of these may be of interest to you, and make it a great day!
