i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with blahblah@deleteduser.com or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

lol keep getting this AI outreach from a vanity publisher who is trying to sell me on writing a book with them
every day it lists something random i’ve done over the years and praises it.
like, yesterday it said “your webinar on IoT security was incredible…” (it was 2021)
and today it said “wow just listened to your podcast appearance on forensics and am blown away”
a) if this was actually a person, this is stalkerish
b) gonna add something random and made up to linked in to see if it picks up on it
“wow, loved your slides on vibes based artificial insemination of horses in subsaharan africa”

not sure how common a practice this is, or if its directly in response to the situation in Iran, but noticing some ships in the Strait of Hormuz are using the destination field in AIS to broadcast they are Chinese owned and operated. Presumably to help avoid being targeted in retaliatory strikes.

In several pen tests I've done across the last 18 months, one of the most interesting trends has been the sudden increase in the number of examples I've found of people who have thrown those API keys, and in some cases raw data, into accidentally public GitHub repos while attempting to glue AI to things to 'see what it can do'.
Few weeks ago I found a GitHub repo that a developer had trained on a dump of their own corporate emails, and all those emails where just in public, on Github, and contained lots of things like vendor SFTP creds. It's a free for all.

i had my ass kicked by a nashville hot chicken sandwich that i ordered “hot”, two levels below the highest spice level
fella was like “are you sure, its pretty hot, ghost peppers and habanero?” and i’m like, “yeah i like spicy, and if it’s two levels down, i should be good.”
and yeah ok it was hot, i enjoyed it and finished it but yeah, it was probably the closest anything has ever come to beating me on pure spice.
but more to the point….how fucking hot are the two extra levels?!?!

Dear Journalists,
If a government official gives a statement that is easily disproven by multiple angles of high quality video, it is ok, encouraged even, to call them out on it in real time. That's called doing a journalism.
Secondly, although you all work for different media outlets, there is no reason why you can't sort of 'team up' and keep pressing the issue rather than letting them wriggle out by completely changing the line of questioning. This is also known as doing a Journalism.
Thanks!

This is super cool, the Washington State Ferries posted this today on their various social accounts:
"The M/V Tacoma was recently taken out of service due to a stern tube seal issue. Thurs. (1/8), Global Diving installed an underwater habitat on the vessel. It was sealed to the hull & around the propulsion shaft. By pressurizing the habitat w/ air, crews removed water from the area.
This created a dry repair environment. It allows repairs to be made to the damaged seal w/o requiring the vessel to be dry-docked. Global Diving is working in coordination w/ our maintenance teams to complete repairs & return Tacoma to service as safely & quickly as possible."
Really clever. Wouldn't want to be the one working in there myself, but each to their own.

Of course 99.99% of orgs would want to opt-out if it were real, so this is an incredible lure to get SendGrid creds.

"Hey, one last thing, before I head out," she said.
"Sure," he said, typing furiously on his mechanical keyboard, and not breaking eye contact with monitor.
"That firewall rule you put in for me a month or so ago, you remember that one?"
"Yep," He replied, the percussive keys still click clacking away.
"You can remove or disable that rule, we don't need it anymore, we stopped testing that software."
The keystrokes abruptly stopped. Silence filled the office for the first time that day.
"Everything ok?" She asked.
At this point he was looking down at his LED backed keys, but he managed to pluck up the courage turn and face her. They made eye contact for the first time since the start of their conversation.
A single tear rolled down his face.
"Whats wrong?!" She exclaimed, now concerned she had accidentally unearthed some deeply buried emotion.
"Nothings wrong, everything is fine" he was quick to reassure her, grabbing a tissue to wipe away the tear. "It's just, it's... that's the first time anyone has ever said that to me."
"Said what?" She enquired, genuinely confused.
"Said I can remove or disable a firewall rule, and I've been doing this for 25 years," the tears were flowing faster now. "It was just a beautiful moment."

There are probably some parallels to be drawn between the Waymo’s in SF not knowing what the eff to do in a power outage and them having to shut the service down temporarily, to what will become of many a vibe coded app or script in some unexpected failure state over the next however many decades.

12 years ago tonight I went to bed, like any other night. Little did I know that my sleep would be curtailed and I’d find myself rushing my pregnant wife into hospital, where we’d soon become a family of three.
It was snowing that night, but I had no concerns, for I was the proud owner of a 2011 Jeep Liberty.
We made it to the hospital safely, and in good time.
I remember this detail well, because when I purchased said Jeep Liberty a couple of years before all this, my wife had said, “do we really need a Jeep? Like really?!”
The thing is I wanted one, because I’d not long moved to America, and I promised myself a big ol’ car.
So, thinking fast I said, “well, what if you are pregnant one day, and it’s snowing and I have to drive you to the hospital?”
“Unlikely,” she replied, rolling her eyes.
I reminded her of this conversation several times during that drive that night. A further bunch of times throughout that the day. And have continued to do so every year since.
It is one of the only times I’ve ever been right, and I’m milking that for as long as I wander this Earth.

Thanks Slack, for putting a notification in my "if something happens in here that means someone got ahold of a canary token and that would be a very bad day" channel.
That notification said "hey Mike, it seems a bit quiet in here!"
THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT, THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRAP MY PANTS

whenever something terrible happens and they announce, “President Trump has been briefed on the…”
is that supposed to be a reassuring thing?
because personally I would feel more comfortable if they briefed a horse or something.

i was informed yesterday that Atlassian has inserted an F1 racing game into Confluence.
I was asked if I (as an admin) could disable it because folks were finding it's pop ups annoying. Here is what I found:
"To disable the Car Racing Easter Egg feature, contact Atlassian Support. There is currently no in-product toggle for end-users to turn off this feature themselves. Support can assist with disabling the feature for your site or organization if required."
